During a bipartisan visit to Denmark, Senators Jeanne Shaheen and Lisa Murkowski write in a guest essay, “we heard from Greenlanders who can’t sleep, and who told us that their children are crying amid fear of invasion — not from China or Russia, but from the United States.”

Opinion | Shaheen and Murkowski: Congress Must Defend NATO From Trump

America must defend its greatest asset: Its alliances.

Vi er efter alt at dømme i den situation, at vi har afværget en amerikansk invasion af Grønland ved at sende soldater med ordre til at skyde, hvilket gjorde den politiske pris for invasion for høj for USA. Det kan man godt tænke lidt over.

Here are my comments on why Trump abandoned his maximalist demands about ownership of Greenland. From a military perspective, it's a fascinating example of how small states can use military force to deter great powers from aggression.

Why Trump retreated on Greenland: When small states deter larger ones

In this video, I discuss the preliminary resolution of the Greenland crisis and why Trump decided to step back from his maximalist demands of owning Greenland. This crisis serves as a good example of ...

I mellemtiden i Baltikum

Elisabeth Braw @elisabethbraw.bsky.social · 21d

For a year, the bottom of the Baltic Sea was overwhelmingly quiet.

Then, within a few days, six cables were damaged or even cut.

But the world was watching Washington, Venezuela and Greenland.

Trumps nye toldtrusler tester igen Europas sammenhold

Med sin afpresning af de europæiske lande, der støtter Danmark i kampen om Grønlands fremtid, forsøger Trump at splitte EU. Han lægger sig dog ud med hele unionen, hvis han indfører straftold

7. Det er en virkelig dårlig ide, at Danmark skulle opstille forbrugsbaserede klimamål. Vi ønsker jo at verden skal koordinere om Parisaftalen og herunder den gode måde at regulere på.

Mogens Fosgerau @mogensfosgerau.bsky.social · Jul 27

6. Hvis DK vil gå forrest, bør vi gå den rigtige retning. Dvs understøtte Parisaftalen.

Mogens Fosgerau @mogensfosgerau.bsky.social · Jul 27

5. Parisaftalen bygger på det territoriale princip. Fordi det er langt bedre at regulere fra produktionssiden. Det bør vi understøtte.

Mogens Fosgerau @mogensfosgerau.bsky.social · Jul 27

4. Parisaftalen er det bedste og eneste bud på en ramme for koordination. Den skal vi holde fast i og styrke.

Mogens Fosgerau @mogensfosgerau.bsky.social · Jul 27

3. Global koordination er helt nødvendig ifht klimaregulering. Selv EU er lille til at gøre noget videre alene.

Mogens Fosgerau @mogensfosgerau.bsky.social · Jul 27

2. Det er omvendt helt umuligt at sige hvor meget CO2 der er i en given vare med nogen større præcision. Ingen ved hvor meget CO2 afgift der allerede er betalt. Så det er en virkelig dårlig ide at regulere fra forbrugssiden.

Mogens Fosgerau @mogensfosgerau.bsky.social · Jul 27

1. Det er let at regulere fossil CO2 præcist. Man skal bare have en afgift på olie, gas osv. Den forbrugsbaserede opgørelse er derimod helt umulig.

Det er normalt, at der handles. Det er nærmest deres arbejde.

Til gengæld må man acceptere folketingets flertal uden at forsøge at spænde ben for en afstemning. Det har oppositionen åbenbart svært ved.
