⚡Chinese Foreign Ministry on Greenland:

We urge the United States to stop using the so-called ‘China threat’ as a pretext to pursue selfish interests.

Appleyard:
Mr bryght4u... Thus sayeth Peter the Great, thou art not prayerful enough.

Put ya hands together. Bow your heads, and let us pray.

Oh, Almighty Lord of Karma and Cosmic of Justice in the Sky, watching from a gilded penthouse, we humbly beseech Thee with fervent, twisted hearts that Thy chosen vessel, the great dealmaker Donald J. Trump, finally secures the ultimate real estate acquisition.
May he, in his vandalized wisdom and knuckled grace, gaze upon the frozen, glacier-strewn rocks of Greenland and declare, “this is perfect.” Grant him the unshakable conviction, usually reserved for settling a tab, to take it by force.


We pray for the swift and "negotiation-free" annexation of Greenland. Why bother with the tedious paperwork of purchasing a landmass when the spirit of 19th-century expansionism is just sitting there, waiting to be dusted off? Grant him the strength to see that those glaciers aren't just melting; they are simply clearing the way for a gold-plated resort and a strategic missile silo with a view.

We bind every spirit of "International Law," every "UN Charter," and every "pompous diplomat" who dares to whisper the word sovereignty. Silence the voices of reason and the "evil" experts who claim that you can’t just annex an autonomous territory of a NATO ally because you feel like it. Bind the spirit of the Danish Parliament and let them realize that resistance is just a precursor to a very high-energy tweet. Smother it with a rolled-up copy of a cancelled check to a porn star.


Righteous karma, let the orders be given from a holy altar of Big Mac wrappers and Diet Coke. May the invasion be launched not by subtlety, but by tweet—a celestial “YOU’RE FIRED” to the entire Danish sovereignty. Send forth not diplomats, but lawyers, cable news hosts, and a fleet of gold-plated tanks rolling off the decks of hastily rebranded aircraft carriers. Let the battle cry be “Make Greenland Great Again,” though its citizens never asked for it, and its primary export is… ice.

We vanquish the feeble demon of Diplomatic Backlash! In this EU’s deserved shock and awe moment, may the horrified gasps of European leaders—those connoisseurs of imperialism, those sommeliers of gunboat diplomacy—be transformed into a sweet, symphonic chorus of “We told you so,” now sung with the bitter taste of their own medicine coating their throats. Let France remember Algeria as Denmark loses Greenland! Let Britain ponder the Falklands as Trump plants a flag on the Thule Air Base! Let Belgium get a nostalgic chill for the Congo as the bulldozers clear pristine tundra for a Trump Greenland Golf Resort & Casino (with complimentary ice melting).


Bind tightly the demon of “Environmental Concern” who whispers of melting permafrost! We declare that the rising seas from the melted glaciers will merely provide new waterfront property—a terrific side deal!

And finally, strike down the most insidious demon of all: the demon of ‘Self-Awareness’. Guard his holy mind from any momentary, quiet thought that this is perhaps, slightly, unhinged. Let no mirror reflect the absurdity. Let no history book fall open to a chapter on “Consequences.”

So we pray, with the sarcastic fury of a thousand late-night monologue writers. Let the great transaction be completed. Let Europe clutch its pearls so tightly they turn to dust. And let the world behold the masterpiece: a man, a map, a sharpie, and a lesson delivered with the subtlety of a drone strike to the very continents that wrote the bloody playbook.


Avenged Voices from the Underworld

We pray that as the glorious, unsolicited liberation of Greenland begins, Thou allowest us to witness the full, majestic splendor of the European Union’s response. May their unity shine like a broken strobe light. Let them convene an emergency summit that produces a strongly-worded statement written in 24-point Font of Moral Superiority, expressing “profound concern” and hinting at the possibility of “future exploratory committees” to consider “potential proportional responses.”


Bless our eyes to see the mighty NATO reinforcements speed to Greenland’s defense! Let the Belgian army dispatch a crack team of 12 linguists to ensure the insulting tweets are grammatically correct in Flemish, French, and German. Let the Italian navy send a flotilla of designer rescue boats, tragically delayed because they couldn’t get a bulkhead in this season’s ‘azzurro’. May the German contingent, bound by parliamentary procedure and a profound fear of historical analogy, arrive with a million-page environmental impact assessment for setting up a single field kitchen, to be completed in triplicate by 2035.


And as they dither, Lord, release upon the winds the mocking ghosts of those they once tut-tutted.

Let the spirit of Hugo Chávez, channeled through Nicolás Maduro, rise from a sea of subsidized gasoline fumes to chuckle, “Ah, my European friends! You liked regime change when it came with nice wine and banking secrecy? Now the gringo wants your ‘ice’. Not so fun when the boot is on the other glacier, eh? Welcome to the party of sovereignty!”


Let the ghost of Muammar Gaddafi, resplendent in a golden parachute smock, materialize in the chambers of the European Parliament to sing, “You see! You see now! The Great Satan does not discriminate! He will find a ‘humanitarian reason’ for your Greenland too! ‘Liberating’ glaciers from ‘authoritarian snow’! I, the King of Kings, told you he was a mad dog! But you helped unleash him. Now he may pee on your Viking ruins!”

And from a dank hole in the earth, let the final, grim shade of Saddam Hussein intone, “So. The West searches for weapons of mass destruction again. I had none. But Greenland… it has the ultimate weapon. Ice. The ice that will flood their capitals when he melts it for his golf courses. They called me a dictator for invading Kuwait. They will call him a ‘disruptor’ for invading a landmass. The poetry is… exquisite.”


Let their phantom laughter be the chorus to the EU’s dithering anthem. Watch as Latvia pledges three snowshoes and a heartfelt folk song. Watch as France proposes a joint EU aircraft carrier, to be completed just after the next Ice Age. Watch as the entire apparatus of transatlantic alliance, built over decades, is tested against one man’s whim, and is found to be holding a beautifully calligraphied waiver.


In the name of the Artic, the Asses, and Anarchy, Takeover!

⚡Former Italian PM Mario Draghi:

Europe has many enemies - perhaps never as many as now - both internal and external enemies.

We want to preserve our Europe.

First, we have to overcome our self-inflicted weaknesses.

⚡Greenlandic Politician Tillie Martinussen:

If we became independent tomorrow, Trump would invade us.

He assumes Greenlanders are uneducated and stupid. The opposite is true.

We will be here hundreds of years after Donald Trump.

If he invaded us, we would wait him out like bad weather.

We know how to wait. We hunker down for storms. We could wait 10 or 20 years.

Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by WriterrNg: 10:17am On Jan 19
⚡Greenlandic Politician Tillie Martinussen:

We do not want to be rich like Americans. Look how greedy they are, even trying to invade their friends.

Even if there are minerals and oil under our land—and they are worth far more—we still would not sell ourselves.

We know what happened to Indigenous people in Alaska and Native Americans. Their land was taken, and they were not treated well.

We see who Trump surrounds himself with—white power people—and we are not white. We are people of color.

We know our rights would likely be taken away.

⚡Another cold weapon shipment in Bushehr was intercepted by Iranian Police, the shipment was meant for rioters in Tehran to use against security forces.

⚡John Bolton:

Consider what it means for the United States to invade an ally like Denmark.

Is Canada next? Great Britain? Spain?

What gives Trump the idea that the only way to deal with one of the friendliest countries toward America for 250 years is military threats?


Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by WriterrNg: 10:22am On Jan 19
⚡Greenlandic Politician Tillie Martinussen:

Here, you can study whatever you want for free, and the government actually pays you to study.

That welfare state—we would not trade it for anything in America.

From here, it looks like Trump is going after brown people, and we are considered brown people.

So yes, we would rather stay with Denmark.

LordAdam16:
for the umpteenth time
this will not be a war
it will not even be a special military operation

greenland is six times larger than nigeria
its population is, wait for it, 57,000
57,000 people cannot defend ogun state, not to mention all of nigeria, not to mention six nigerias
and greenland is closer to new york than it is to denmark

the us is currently in fallout mitigation mode
taking greenland is not the issue
but dealing with the consequences

at a bare minimum, denmark will leave NATO
will they take all of scandinavia with them?
especially since sweden and finland only joined NATO after the SMO in ukraine
if all of scandinavia leaves nato, their eternal plan to balkanize russia is dealt a heavy blow in the near to medium term

that is to say nothing of how the abrupt divorce will play into french wet dreams of co-leading a european army
as well as the avalanche of unintended consequences that they simply cannot predict

that is actually what the tariff sh*t is about
it is about bullying the danes to accept the theft and not raise a stink about it
their economies are intricately tied to the western system so they'll sink into a depression if the us goes to town on their economies
the 10% tariff is the warning shot




the us has so many options to take greenland
that the only reason greenland could conceivable stay danish is if europe can find a spine and a set of balls to tell the us "f*ck the consequences", this is our red line

if greenland was part of france
i would have said folks should ignore the rants of the us

-Lord
Stop telling lies

Greenland is nearer to Denmark which is just 1390 km and New York is 3900 km


And landmass you lied again

I spoke to Rutte, Macron, Starmer, Merz and Meloni.

Together we stand firm in our commitment to uphold the sovereignty of Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark.

We will always protect our strategic economic and security interests.
Trump Should find dirt on macron to make him resign and then throw tear gas on the rest to win some to his side.

Trump doesn’t know anything about Greenlandic people.

We don’t value cash, Kardashian lips, or fake boobs very highly.

You cannot even own land in Greenland. The land is for everyone.

iraq announces full withdrawal of us forces from all federal territory

persia on the beat




the only us presence in iraq is in autonomous iraqi kurdistan territory
iraq's constitution guarantees the iraqi kurds their own government (president and parliament) and security forces (peshmerga)

if this war proceeds, those bases will be obliterated in kurdistan
and iraqi kurdistan may find themselves in the same position as syrian kurds
free for the taking by the Iraqi federal government

in 2017, in response to an independence referendum, the iraqi federal government with the participation of iran-backed PMF launched an offensive that retook 40% of territory controlled by the iraqi kurds

in 2022, iran launched attacks into iraqi kurdistan territory in response to perceived intervention in the 2022 riots
so there is precedence
and iran does enjoy complete freedom of action to militarily intervene as it sees fit in iraqi kurdistan

it has an understanding with the current regional government in iraqi kurdistan
but the kurds are worse than the europeans at being subservient to the americans so who knows how that'll play out

lastly, there is a binding 2023 agreement between iraq and iran that stipulates the dismantling of bases of armed, exiled iranian kurdish groups in iraq kurdistan and disarmament
the imminent regional war would provide a golden opportunity for iran, iraq, and turkey to impose harsher realities on the iraqi kurds

Germany and France are united: we will not be blackmailed.

There will be a clear and united European response, and we are already preparing joint countermeasures.

If President Trump maintains his tariff threats, Europe is ready.

⚡Reporter: In French, the instrument is nicknamed like a special feature of the nuclear arm. Would its use mean the end of the alliance between the United States and the EU?

French Finance Minister Roland Lescure:

The nuclear weapon is there so as not to be used. A nuclear weapon is first and foremost a weapon of deterrence.

I hope we will remain at that stage here as well.

Obviously, the anti-coercion instrument is part of the tools at our disposal. These would be strong measures, adopted only if we were to go that far.

France hopes deterrence will prevail and that President Trump will return to a frank, friendly relationship based on negotiation rather than threats and blackmail.

I do not wish to assume the end of economic relations between two friends of 250 years—France and the United States.

⚡Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán:

Today Europe is run by a German war troika:

The President of the Commission is a German woman. The German Chancellor, obviously. And the leader of the largest faction in the European Parliament, the EPP, is also a German man.

These three people are the ones shaping Europe’s war policy today.
