Trump recently claimed that "EU was formed to screw the US".
Anyone with a glimpse of historical knowledge knows he's wrong.
But on the other hand: Maybe now is the time, just for once, to prove him right?
Fun fact: EU has roughly 110 mio. more inhabitants, e.g. consumers, than the US.

"They say they have rights to it. I don’t know if that’s true. I don’t think it is, actually." Says Trump about Denmark and Greenland.
But the US recognised Danish sovereignty over G. already in 1916. And we have the archives to prove that!

In a high-security storage facility at the Danish National Archives (Rigsarkivet) is a 100 year old sheet of paper with an American promise about Greenland. This is the fascinating story which Preside...

Guillaume Mouralis: “law and justice can be powerful tools of emancipation”
When international justice is lacking, citizens’ tribunals appear as a means of kick-starting justice. Guillaume Mouralis analyzes the historical model of the Russell Tribunal.

Dahl er "dybt skuffet" over at regeringen ikke sætter spørgsmålstegn ved ICC - en institution DK har arbejdet for at fremme i årevis. Jeg er dybt skuffet over, at en del danskere bevidstløst efterplaprer den misinformerende israelske propaganda, der skød op som en gejser efter arrestordrene.

Jep. Bare lidt......
I de 32 sager, der har kørt ved ICC, er alle de anklagede fra det globale syd. Eks.: Saif Gadaffi (Libyen), Al Bashir (Sudan), Katanga (Congo), Al Mahdi (Mali). At beskylde domstolen for bias på baggrund af den første anklage mod vestligt allierede ledere, virker lidt... biased.

1. So - the International Criminal Court (ICC) warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant - www.nytimes.com/live/2024/11.... The one strong prediction I have - this is going to lead to US financial sanctions against ICC employees, and possibly the ICC as an institution. That is going to get ugly for the EU.

A new Starter Pack of Danish historians - let me know if you want to be added.
As you might notice, there is a bit of a gender unequality in the Pack, so please help if you can :-)

Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre, Vladimir Dedijer and two others in Roskilde, 1967. How come these icons of the intellectual left had swapped the Parisian boulevards for a Danish provincial town?
They were there for the Russell Tribunal.
