Senator Graham on Iran:

To the Arab world, I’ve tried to be very hopeful to build on the Abraham Accords, but this idea of saying one thing behind closed doors and something else in public is coming to an end.

I’ve called Arab allies and said, “You need to correct the record.”… pic.twitter.com/CpWMorTAeI

Senator Graham on Iran:

I would never vote for any kind of agreement that would bind us to any Arab country that did this.

If, after Trump empowered people to feel like their freedom was at hand, you believe we should wind this down and you’re okay with the regime standing… pic.twitter.com/uJXyjkeXBG

Imagine Trump sending troops to seize Greenland and Europe sending theirs to battle the Americans.

And then Russia waiting a few years when both sides are both terribly battered, then making their own moves on Svalbard, Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia.

Europe will be fighting 2 superpowers on two fronts 💀 😂

By the time the war is over, Russian troops would have reached France.

The United States is preparing for action."

LordAdam16:
they have ICBMs

but here's the thing
even the cheapest newest-gen ICBM from china costs $25m
100 ICBMs cost at least $2.5B

without nukes and the size of the us
even firing $2B or $20B worth of ICBMs will be the equivalent of a slap

---

that said

now they have an ICBM
all they need is a nuke test and they'd be secure

⚡Finnish President Stubb:

European countries stand united. We emphasize the principles of territorial integrity and sovereignty. We support Denmark and Greenland.

Dialogue with the United States continues. Tariffs would undermine the transatlantic relationship and risk a dangerous downward spiral.

Question: Yesterday, several television reports showed Yugoslav doctors and … facing difficult standards related to their generators in their hospitals and who ultimately accuse the Alliance of taking the civilian population hostage, and therefore taking innocent people hostage by bombing power stations, transformers, and drinking water pipes.

Jamie Shea: Pierre, excuse me if I reply to this in English but this is an important point and therefore I would like to get my message across universally here to everybody in this room.

Let us not lose sight of proportions in this debate. President Milosevic has got plenty of back-up generators. His armed forces have hundreds of them. He can either use these back-up generators to supply his hospitals, his schools, or he can use them to supply his military. His choice. If he has a big headache over this, then that is exactly what we want him to have and I am not going to make any apology for that.

We’ve heard years of loud outrage about Putin violating international law — now those same critics are strangely quiet when Trump does what they criticized Putin for: violating sovereignty in Venezuela and with Greenland. pic.twitter.com/0Rjm4PmAm5

The West will never like the Chinese - impossible!
The Canadian PM is just dancing Azonto so he can be seen to be acquiescing to Beijing.
In reality, Trump has trumped them so hard, income and business from the US has deeped.
He's in China trying to save his country's ass and, like the typical politician that he is, will not miss the moment to whisper something sweet into the ears of Panda.
Trust this is altruistic and you're a learner!
Like you pointed out, China invested massively in Italy. But forced to choose between Washington and Beijing, they chose the former and even dropped the Belt and Silk Road Project like a hot potato after becoming the first Washington ally to sign it off!
Two rules when dealing with the West:
Number one:
Never trust a politician, especially from the West, in their dealings with China and the Axis generally. If America asks them to bite the hand that held them up in Beijing during the time of their crisis, they'd just ask how deep should the bite go!
Number two: don't forget rule number 1!

⚡Starmer responds to Trump:

Our position on Greenland is very clear — it is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, and its future is a matter for the Greenlanders and the Danes.

We have also made clear that Arctic security matters for the whole of NATO, and allies should do more together to address the threat from Russia across different parts of the Arctic. Applying tariffs on allies for pursuing the collective security of NATO allies is completely wrong. We will, of course, be pursuing this directly with the US administration.
