ā”Sec. Scott Bessent: "The President has said that on February 1 he will implement a 10% tariff if the Danes do not want to give up Greenland. It is on the eight countries that sent troops to Greenland." |

ā”Jordan Bardella, leader of Franceās far-right party National Rally: The United States is presenting us with a choice: accept dependency disguised as partnership, or act as sovereign powers capable of defending our interests. When a U.S. president threatens a European territory while using trade pressure, it is not dialogueāit is coercion. And our credibility is at stake. Greenland has become a strategic pivot in a world returning to imperial logic. Yielding today would set a dangerous precedent, exposing other Europeanāand even French overseasāterritories tomorrow. The European Union cannot remain silent. The agreement negotiated last summer must be suspended. Our anti-coercion instruments must be activated, and targeted measures adopted. This is not escalationāit is self-defense. The choice is simple: submission or sovereignty. Europe must choose freedom, responsibility, and control of its own destiny. |

Kingsnairaland:You can read the picture below to see a Russian generalās view on the patriot air defence. Russia has destroyed a lot of patriots while Ukraine keeps shooting down all the missiles. Even Marco Rubio complained about patriots destruction, reality meets propaganda again. In modern war with drones and satellites itās difficult to hide. Once youāre detected if you donāt have a good air defence you are dead, if itās hypersonic missiles youāre already dead. The same thing applies to USA militarily bases in the Middle East. A war with Iran will be an economic and military disaster.

WriteerNg:Wow! ![]() Thatās one hell of a precious mental image for the Czech premier. But it has almost nothing to do with how strategic missiles actually fly, especially the huge varieties operated by the Russians. Let's school the idiot. ![]() 1. Russian ICBMs donāt need to āgo over Greenlandā to reach the US mainland. ICBMs follow great-circle routes and their flight path trajectory is determined by orbital mechanics infused into their designs, not straight lines on a globe you bought at a gift shop. From western Russia, the shortest path to many parts of the continental United States is actually over "the Arctic" often passing over or near northern Canada and the North Pole", not directly over Greenland. Well, I don't expect you morons like him to know because the prayers are working. Foolishness and delulu is your portion this year. ![]() 2. SLBMs and mobile launchers add other vectors. It's laughable that the Czech premier doesn't know the Oreshnik he mentioned is a mobile launcher that can be fired from anywhere. Russia doesnāt rely on fixed silo launches aimed only one way. Its sea-based ballistic missiles can be fired from strategic submarines in the Barents, Okhotsk, and Pacific---can approach the US from the north, south, or west without ever overflying Greenland. 3. Cruise missiles and hypersonics can take unpredictable routes. Newer Russian systems like the Kh-101 cruise missile or hypersonic glide vehicles can fly low and curve around air defenses. Currently, there is no defense weapon in the arsenal of the US that can stop the Oreshnik. Russia has hypersonic missiles that can be launched from aircraft or ships and can approach from many directions ā again, no single geographic chokepoint like Greenland. 4. 25 minutes to the White House is an oversimplification. Flight time for an ICBM depends on launch location and trajectory. A missile from western Russia aimed at Washington might reach in 25ā35 minutes, but thatās true regardless of whether it passes over Greenland or Canada. The key point is that strategic missiles exploit the curvature of the Earth and the physics of long-range flight, not the arbitrary location of a tourist landmark. Notwithstanding, the prayers must work. Sense must be taking away from them. Trump must take Greenland by force. If oppression is good for countries in Africa and elsewhere, it must be good for Europe as well. ![]() |

WriterrNg:see you the democrats are coming with a vengeance they'll continue 47 attack on china but it'll be more subtle and they'll greenlight europe becoming even more aggressive on russia that's how they plan to say sorry (placate the europeans) for the trump years this will have the secondary benefit of tying the europeans even deeper to the us they'll pinky swear they'll not let another trump be president and the europeans will accept the apology the major thing that'll change is the overt belligerence (it'll be back to the charismatic smooth-talking of the obama and clinton years) and they'll absolutely wreck maga republicans i'm talking arrests, jail time, lawfare, the whole nine yards they'll use this house cleaning to convince the rest of the west that they mean business and are willing to turn a new page but as far as foreign policy goes no one is rolling back anything they'll only change their approach has the us returned california to mexico? the difference between the dems and reps is approach they are a tag team with the exact same overarching goal/objective of having the us dominate the entire planet by hook or crook -Lord |

ā”$22 TRILLION: That is the defense spending gap between the U.S. and NATO since 1980, according to Treasury Sec. Bessent. SEC. BESSENT: "I think that the NATO alliance is very safe, sound and thanks to President Trump, it's never been more secure." "Europeans have been spending the money on social welfare, on roads, on education, and it's time for them to pay more, which they've agreed to do."

[quote author=WriterrNg post=138202077]ā”Denmark MP Rasmus Jarlov: āWe will defend Greenland. If there is an invasion, by American troops, it would be a war. And we would be fighting against each other.ā love this new found Danish temerity. ![]() By all means, oh Karma, let Trump take Greenland. Nothing screams āstable allianceā like NATO members preparing to shoot at American troops over a block of ice Denmark barely remembers exists except during press conferences. . Imagine the frontpage poetry: * NATO fighting NATO * Denmark discovering it has an army * The US discovering Article 5 doesnāt cover āOops, we invaded an allyā And all of this just in time for the US midterm elections, where voters can reward Trump for dissolving NATO faster than the Soviet Union ever dreamed of ā by annexing [b]Greenland and turning the alliance into a historical footnote. ![]() Denmark bravely vows to ādefend Greenland,ā which is adorable considering it canāt defend its own rhetoric without immediately calling Washington for reassurance. NATO, meanwhile, will hold an emergency summit to issue a "strongly worded statement" condemning itself. Best-case scenario: * Trump loses the midterms * Greenland becomes the most expensive real estate deal in history * NATO collapses under the weight of its own absurdity * Everyone pretends this was never about āshared valuesā anyway But yes ā please continue lecturing the world about unity, deterrence, and international law⦠right after threatening war with your own security guarantor. Truly the zenith of Atlanticism. |

ā”Canadian PM Mark Carney: Great powers have begun using economic integration as weapons, tariffs as leverage, financial infrastructure as coercion, supply chains as vulnerabilities to be exploited.
