This is a red line. If we let the United States force Denmark to give up territory by threatening an invasion, we're done. There are no good options here, but we have to stand with Denmark

The European Union has triggered Article 122 to indefinitely immobilise the assets of the Russian Central Bank, worth a whopping €210 billion.

It's delusional to assume that Trump's America would aid Europe in a fight against Russia. Whether the United States withdraws or not, NATO as we knew it is over. We'll be on our own and we should act accordingly

Anyone that thought the US are still allies, or that NATO has a future should know by now that is gone.
We in Europe will be under sustained attack from two fronts in the next few years. It is crucial that we build up our own autonomy as soon as possible.

Exactly this. This is both an act of deliberate cruelty towards a marginalised, vulnerable community and a trial balloon to see how far they can push, and how fast.
(Going by the last two years and the pace and volume of erosion, and active targeting of vulnerable people - very far, and very fast.)

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.
After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵
