Glædelig jul til alle 🎄🎁🎅

Undtagen dem der sigter til ved udenlandsk bistand at bringe nogen del af den danske stat under fremmed herredømme.

What's that sound?

Oh, it's just the thundering silence of supposedly NATO-friendly US politicians as the United States makes a mockery of international law and plans the annexation of territory from a former ally.

It will be generations before any country trusts the United States again.

Trump indsætter en ultra-loyalist med det formål at overtage Grønland. Det udløser for tredje gang, at Danmark indkalder den amerikanske ambassadør til samtale.

Hvad bliver næste skridt fra Trump?

Det der. Det er ederbrandbrølemig en vild tråd. USA’s Director of National Intelligence bliver bakket op i sit gak-gak af en af Ruslands mest indflydelsesrige mænd. Med Musk som mellemmand. USA er ikke vores ven, og jeg håber, at nogen snart trækker NSA’s stik ud af det krydsfelt på Sydamager. 1/2

From someone who is currently "protected" by the actual article 5, I would recommend Ukraine not to accept this offer.

US promises #Ukraine 'Article 5-like' security, but it's a limited time offer

Dr. Leila Denmark co-developed the pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine.

World's oldest practicing pediatrician until she retired at age 103 (after 73 yrs). At the time of her death at age 114 & 60 days, she was the 5th-oldest validated living person in the world & 3rd-oldest in the US. #WomenInSTEM

It has become received wisdom in Brussels and Washington that there is a new “euro-sclerosis”: that the EU economy is lagging the US

This view is wrong

Denmark has a cunning plan:

We will "Quiet boycut" Eurovision 2026 by sending a song which has zero chance of reaching the final.

It's a proven strategy. It worked for 4 out of the last 5 years 😎

1/🧵 The shocking part is when you put it all together, you see very clearly how the administration thinks about America's place in the world, its expectations, its priorities, how it views others. This is perhaps the last wake-up call for Europe – Interview link in comments.

"Ah, den nye US National Security Strategy har ingen reel betydning" 🤡

USAs vice-udenrigsminister gentager og bekræfter, at Europa og USA ikke kan være partnere, hvis ikke vi lader USA regere Europa.

De kan altså godt læse i Moskva.
NATO er død.
Deputy Secy of State Christopher Landau says the US “cannot pretend that we are partners” w/ NATO nations because the European Union—of which many are members—pursues “policies of civilizational suicide.”

Landau is a former clerk of SCOTUS Justice Thomas. Stephen Miller lobbied for his appointment.

I love soccer and I remember each World Cup with great intensity and always so much look forward to the next. But FIFA that was disgusting, even more disgusting than usual, and now I just can’t. And won’t.

Hvis ingen tør sige det i Europa, kan vi i det mindste høre det fra USA.
Meiselas: The official Trump U.S. National Security Strategy document has been released. The document says a top priority of the U.S. is "cultivating resistance to Europe's current trajectory." In other words, to destroy the European Union.

The West is gone.

@rikefranke.bsky.social tells it like it is.

It is time to formally ask the United States to withdraw its forces from Europe - and every country needs to prioritize fighting the US and Russian campaigns to destabilize Europe.

Holy moly, do people still think the U.S. is an ally of Europe? It is now an officially stated foreign policy goal to undermine the EU and centrist European governments that don't ideologically align with MAGA.
Europeans are waking up this morning to find the new US National Security Strategy (quietly) released. And what it has to say on Europe could not be clearer. On the „stark prospect of civilizations erasure“ for example. 👇
