At a time when ALL nations should be collaborating in order to secure a safe & sustainable future, do we REALLY want a world shaped by bullying superpowers willing to add ’geopolitical fuel’ to a warming Arctic? Great piece from @klausdodds.bsky.social

Donald Trump's attempts to acquire Greenland are blunt force geopolitics in action.

His ambition is for nothing short of western hemispheric dominance.

I hope you have a wonderful trip! Crossing the Drake’s Passage is quite the challenge experience. I hope you are able to visit Deception Island. My favourite place in the Peninsula region.
