Rubio just made a speech to the European defense community in Munich that did not mention Ukraine. Or democracy. Or US business deals with Russia. Or the administration's plans to support the European far right. But there were lots of nice words about our common civilization.

Arctic Sentry is a strategic win for NATO, a significant political win for 🇩🇰Denmark and 🇬🇱Greenland, and a military win for the Nordic region in general and 🇳🇴Norway in particular.

To rephrase Lord Ismay it may even: “keep the Russians out, the Americans in, and Trump down”

The last part of the motorcade. It was approx 1 km long.
What you see when you’re accidentally in the area.

Weekend actions seems plausible as a timeline for escalation.

Map of Utilities outages in Russia for the week 19th to the 25th of January. This is by far the worst week I've tracked and one with highest number of long term outages disrupting life. I would point to Murmansk where they're even out of bread in places.

Residents of Greenland must be thrilled, dreaming of becoming part of a country where masked police shoot you.

Or it created time to find common ground in Europe? Greenland seems to be the one thing, not even Merz and Macron could accept loosing; and it has moral support in the populations.

Occupying Greenland would landlock Canada. And that’s the real motivator; making the northwest passage a US-Canadian EEZ waterway.

For many European governments, Donald Trump’s threat of punitive tariffs against anyone who tries to stop him taking Greenland was the final straw in their failing relationship with the U.S.

Divorce, they believe, is now inevitable.
Trump’s Greenland threats push Europe toward divorcing America
With NATO thrown into question, some officials see the “coalition of the willing” as the basis for a new alliance without the U.S.

Around 100 Danish soldiers are currently stationed on or near U.S. military bases worldwide.
An expert warns Denmark may need to bring them home if the crisis escalates - worst case, they could become prisoners of war.

US law now considered supreme lex mundi.
Fascinating, that they didn’t go for Guantanamo after all. A local uprising would be a lovely reason for another decapitation strike for primetime TV….

Your assessment is sound. The economic data tricking through suggests that 2026 will be the last year with available liquidity.
Forced loans and war bonds might prolong it slightly, but not by much.

Om numerous occasions since then, genocidal programs have reemerged from the tomb of history.
We’ve had a good dialogue about assessing scenarios, freedom of thought and the failures of modern societies to stop such terrible events.

Never again - is today, so the German government argues.
Brought my two kids to Auschwitz today, so they at least will bear witness for another generation, make smarter choices and act ethically informed.
