You could very well be right. The amount of goodwill the US has received in dozens of poor countries around the world has been a thorn in the side of both Russia and China for decades. They couldn't get a foot in. Now it's theirs for the taking.

They will live. But it is incredibly short sighted - the same with closing down USaid. It gave them so much leverage. But with dumb and dumber at the wheel, they will have to learn the hard way.

Sorry, but not sorry. Elections have consequences. Across the pond, a huge movement about boycotting American goods are blowing at full steam. Not to mention European nations looking to buy military hardware elsewhere. The military industrial complex won’t be pleased with Trump…

Indtil for et par uger siden, var LitauiskePixelmator Pro et fremragende alternativ til Photoshop, ret elegant, faktisk.

But that would immediately trigger article five, which essentially means world war three. It also takes unanimous support, so it most certainly won’t happen.

Actually I’m danish and it’s a bit like brexit. They can hold a referendum anytime they want and then there’ll be negotiations over terms etc etc.

But why would the Greenlanders hand over their underground to America Inc?
They should definitely keep it and make lucrative deals instead, and do it like in Norway, where each citizen is good for ~325.000 usd.

If Trumps aids haven’t told him that the EU has an article 5 about trade wars, it’s about time.

And end up like Puerto Rico?
No voting rights in us elections, not representation in congress, and basically the same shitty healthcare and education system as in the US.
Also, take a look at how the Inuits are being treated in Alaska. Hell no.

It doesn’t really matter what Trump wants from Denmark- Greenland is not ours. And the Greenlanders are not going to give up universal healthcare, free education, full voting rights, two seats in parliament for what..?
Also, there’s an ‘article 5’ in EU, so if trump starts a trade war with Denmark 😉

He’s just a citizen. Shouldn’t make much difference.

Really interesting how the close to ten different militias with very different philosophies will divide the loot, if Assad falls.
But it really seems that neither Russia, Iran and Hizbollah have bandwidth to come and help. His days might be numbered this time.

I actually don’t care much. My primary reason to drop X and come here (Musk aside), was about not getting notifications from maga-clowns I had no dealings with whatsoever, and being sick and tired of Musk’s unwillingness to do something about the millions of disinfo-bots.

@gregpalast.bsky.social who has done a lot of work with him has said numerous times that jfk jr. used to be rational, but some time ago increasingly went off the rails. Could be the worm. But he’s not sane, that’s for sure.

Above 2% threshold and you get 4 seats out of 179, no matter who. Then the parliament decides who will be PM.

Most of Europe has a parliamentary system. I think we have 11, plus the four North Atlantic parties (Faroe Islands and Greenland)

You guys have more than two parties, right?

A two party system is pretty much bound to end up as an infantile gang war. We have some 11 parties in the parliament, and all major legislation is pretty much a compromise between the moderate parties - left or right leaning.

He he. I play a lot of gigs as a musician, and previously getting a little flirty after a gig happened every now and then. Now it’s more like “my kid play the guitar too”. Oh well… 😌
