Now we know what it's like to live in a city controlled by a mafia boss. If you have something he wants, he'll take it because he can. If you want to trade there, you have to pay "protection money". Otherwise, he'll tear down your house or worse. Better than any american gangster movie.

The stone that will destroy the Nato alliance has already been pushed over the edge and is gaining speed. Question is just what will remain when it hits. Still, it is surprising how much in denial of this reality several leaders in Europe are. The sooner they face it, the safer we all will be.

What did you expect? You choose a man who sounds like a megalomaniac as president of the strongest military in the world. Surprise. You get a megalomaniac on steroids. Not being allowed to take whatever he wants must be utterly frustrating and consequently unacceptable for him.

Danske regeringer har i årevis danset efter grønlandske politikeres fløjte og give dem illusionen at de kan blive en selvstændig nation. Nu forsøger de det samme spil på verdenscenen. Men Trump blæser på internationale spilleregler. Og aftaler varer kun så længe det passer ham. Held og lykke med det

Og hvor i dette optimistiske verdensbillede er logikken i at Trump, i følge ham selv, vil nedbryde Nato og EU? Vel kan det være sundt at vende tingene på hovedet en gang imellem. Bare ikke hovedet bliver dernede. Der er en meget enklere forklaring: Trump vil skabe sit eget imperie.

Bor hun ikke i USA? Hvor længe tror hun Trump vil lade Grønland være selvstændig? Er hun smådum eller bare Trumpist?

Radikales opfattelse af verden har altid været mig en gåde. Men den her artkel tager da prisen. Så i dag(22/12) har Jan skrevet en bemærkelssværdig klarsynet artikel i Berlingske, hvor han kalder Trumps strategi for en "krigserklæring". Men igen, De Radikales vej til Nirvana går uden om min parcel.

This hybrid war is strange: It's a bit like burglars handing out a notice in every mailbox before they start their tour: "Please check your burglary protection before we come to you". What's the purpose other than to annoy us long enough for someone to bother to do something about it?

Hvad med noget radiosporingsudstyr, sigesom under anden verdenskrig, så man kan finde ud af hvor de flyver hen?

...Betting that military and economic pressure will result in the dissolution of the EU is a very risky gamble. It could very well result in a more united and active, but fascist EU. That should be the absolute nightmare scenario for any head of state. Not least Trump and Putin.

... Restrictions that have been introduced to prevent the rebirth of fascism and Nazism in Europe. It is worrying, to say the least. Europe is therefore being forced into a development that they have tried to hold back since the Second World War...

Every time they “kiss his …” (Trumps own words) he inflates a bit more. I think they hope that he will explode at some point or fly away like a hot air baloon

Bimlende sygt.
