1/ Trump cannot expand his secret police to include NATO no matter how much he might like to. NATO has no domestic policing role. NATO forces are not authorized to perform U.S. law-enforcement or border-patrol duties.

Referring to his keynote address at the World Economic Forum, Trump told the audience that sometimes “you need a dictator.” To be clear, this is the President of the United Staes telling the world (including us) that we need a dictator, and HE is that dictator.

1/3 In a post featuring a photo of a U.S. flag planted on Greenlandic soil, Trump claims that after a “very productive meeting” with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte they “have formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland.”

1/ Lavrov’s claim that Crimea is “Russian security” reads as an echo of Trump’s language about Greenland. When security claims are allowed to override the sovereignty of other states, sovereignty becomes conditional rather than absolute. This is a core feature of spheres-of-influence logic.

Brooklyn Park Chief of Police says “it has to stop.” ICE paramilitaries are violating civil rights of members of the public, including several off duty officers. If they can do it to off duty officers, they can do it to anyone. #holdfast

Trump just amplified a post calling Russia and China “boogeymen” and the UN and NATO as the “real threat” to the U.S. Whoever in Congress is not calling for the 25th amendment at this point is either irresponsible or complicit. #HOLDFAST

This is a coordinated, de-escalatory response and exactly what responsible allies do in the face of coercive threats - solidarity with Denmark and Greenland, openness to dialogue, and a clear rejection of coercion.
