Denemarken, Zweden en Duitsland sturen troepen naar Groenland. Koude rillingen. We zitten op een rollercoaster die alleen maar verder bergaf lijkt te gaan

Good!
Sweden is over Trump's nonsense about Greenland and is sending in troops.

SWEDEN, PEOPLE.

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

Kristi Noem’s podium at DHS is just a straight up Nazi slogan

"One of ours, all of yours" was a Nazi policy made when an SS officer was killed in a Czech Village and then the Nazis killed every single resident of that village in response…..but don’t you dare call them Nazis….not even hiding it

Vandaar dus de media blackout.... enorm moedig dat mensen in zo'n omstandigheden nog durven protesteren
12.000 - mogelijk 20.000 (!) doden meldt CBS. Ongelofelijk.

"monitoring" 😶‍🌫️ doe iets of zwijg, maar stop met dit soort nonsens
As the repression intensifies, and the loss of innocent lives continue, we are monitoring the situation carefully.

Europe stands with the people of Iran in their legitimate fight for freedom.
Tehran’s streets, and cities around the world, echo with the footsteps of Iranian women and men demanding freedom.

Freedom to speak, to gather, to travel and above all to live freely.

Europe stands fully behind them.

That's ultimately the larger reason to go maximalist. Republicans have taken as an article of faith that the EU are pushovers and will do whatever they're told to do. They need to dissuade them of that belief, and very little does that as effectively as a Mozambique drill on the US economy.
I think the long term, playing-out-over-decades lesson here is that Republicans are a national security threat to the EU

Waarom nemen we dit niet serieus in Europa? Trump heeft herhaaldelijk bewezen dat hij doet wat hij zegt. Window of opportunity is tot aan de midterms --> we spreken dus over maanden, geen jaren.
Waar is het Europees afschrikkingsplan? Behalve wat verontwaardigde speeches, heb ik nog niets gezien...
I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.

Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

100% akkoord hiermee. Het is allang tijd dat we onze tanden laten zien, te beginnen met eigen, hogere tariefheffingen.

"Het is niet voor mij maar voor mijn eenzaamheid"
Not everyone believed me when I wrote that Trump wants Greenland becuase it would make him feel important, but that's what he told the NYT:

When asked why he needed to possess the territory, he said: “Because that’s what I feel is psychologically needed for success"

Belangrijke dagen (uren?) voor Iran. Er is daar duidelijk iets gaande
As of 18:45 UTC (10:15 PM local), traffic to Iran has stopped as the country has completely severed itself from the global internet.

Security forces in Iran are now firing on protesters in cities like Tehran and Khorramabad. In Tehran, demonstrators reportedly set fire to the headquarters of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Belangrijk. Zeker als het op een vredevolle manier zou gebeuren.
Iran’s unrest is escalating. In Abadan, security forces reportedly refused to disperse protesters and instead joined them. The Times reports that Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is preparing a contingency plan to flee with his family to Moscow if the situation spirals out of control.

Datzelfde Rusland dat het al moeilijk heeft in Oekraïne en met een economie de omvang van de Benelux? Geloven die analisten dat eigenlijk zelf als ze het uitspreken?

The USA has long had the technological ability to do a wide range of actions, from wiping a nation off the map to individual assassinations but usually those questions of what it could do were leavened with assessments of the chaos that would inevitably follow. Not anymore!

2 dagen na de aanval op Venezuela. Dreigementem richting Groenland, Columbia, Mexico en nu dus Cuba. Zelfs voor de VS lijkt me dat wat veel hooi op de vork 😂
WELKER: Is the Cuban government the Trump administration's next target?

MARCO RUBIO: Well, the Cuban government is a huge problem. Yeah.

WELKER: Is that a yes?

RUBIO: I think they're in a lot of trouble, yes

Goed interview dit. En Rubio staat duidelijk met zijn mond vol tanden. Kans is groot dat hij zelf niet weet wat het plan nu is.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Trump said the US is going to 'run Venezuela.' Under what legal authority?

RUBIO: We want a better future for the people of Venezuela

STEPHANOPOULOS: I'll ask again -- what is the legal authority?

RUBIO: We have court orders
