Trump partially backing down on his Greenland threats after forceful pushback from European leaders shows why attempts to appease and flatter him were always such a poor strategy.

(1) Appeasement doesn't work with bullies like Trump; it just encourages them to push for more and more.
America is not behaving like an ally – we need reliable, respectable partners, not a childish narcissist who throws his toys out of the pram whenever he's told no.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

And yes, obviously there is some double standard as mass media were more willing to discuss Biden’s cognition. But with Biden it was exclusively about cognitive ‘decline’, which I think is more acceptable to openly discuss than narcissistic megalomania, apparently regardless of how obvious it is.

There’s still a taboo in the media about describing Trump’s cognitive state.
It’s rooted in the idea that the US President being insane sounds so preposterous that it must be an inaccurate slur.
But it’s the hard truth.
All of this is a result of Trump being an unstable narcissistic megalomaniac.

Of course so far the UK has done the opposite; securing a (since exploded) special deal at the cost of solidarity with the other middle powers. A stupid and shortsighted approach.

Carney Stands by Greenland, Urges Allies to Unite Against ‘Coercion’
Canada stands completely behind Greenland and Denmark, and the world’s middle powers must work together to resist coercion from aggressive superpowers, according to Prime Minister Mark Carney.

It's so exhausting to to be constantly told by American leaders that the defining policy of the 80 odd years during which the US became the most wealthy and powerful country in the history of the world was a grossly unfair failure for them.
US trade secretary Howard Lutnick really not mincing his words here at Davos: "We are here to make a v clear point: globalisation has failed the West and the USA. It's a failed policy. It's what the WEF has stood for, which is, export, offshore, find the cheapest labour in the world."
