Another confirmation that U.S. cyberattack did cause a power cut in Venezuela’s. Furthermore, it switched the power off and on! Cyberattacks apparently also targeted air defence systems. All of that should really be technically possible, so? www.nytimes.com/2026/01/15/u...

The Netherlands and Estonia have joined the reconnaissance mission to Greenland.
France, Sweden, Germany and Norway are deploying military personnel as part of a reconnaissance mission to the capital of Greenland, Nuuk.
European troops arrive in Greenland to 'ensure Arctic security'
The deployment was announced the same day the foreign ministers of Denmark and Greenland met with US Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Washington.

“The Europeans won’t fight back” is a wildly factually incorrect statement and shows an astonishing lack of understanding of 1) how the geopolitics of escalation works 2) how Europe works 3) how war works
France is a nuclear power and is deploying troops in Greenland, for God’s sake
France is a nuclear power and is deploying troops in Greenland, for God’s sake
If Trump invades Greenland, the Europeans won't fight back, Republicans will defend it, Democrats will issue statements, there will be protests, and most Americans will disapprove of it enough to earn Democrats a bit more of the vote in November. Then on to the next thing.
More than an attempted coup, where a mob tried to seize Congress on live television did? There's not going to be an implosion about anything. It's either a slow slide towards oblivion where everything gets incrementally worse as people try to live normally, or a slow grind in the opposite direction.

DOJ has occasionally claimed that it needs to search reporters' records to find the source of a security leak.
But that's pretty obviously not what they were doing when they searched the Post reporter's house. They arrested a suspect days ago, after more or less catching him in the act.
