Ich bin Ethnopluralist, nicht weil ich andere Kulturen nicht kenne und hasse, sondern im Gegenteil, weil ich sie kennengelernt habe, sie respektiere, schätze und sogar lieben gelernt habe.

Observing the situation around Greenland, I have a strong sense of déjà vu - we’ve seen and heard this before. It reminds me of 2014 and Crimea.
Let's recall and compare.
▪️ Security and protection:
In 2014, Russia claimed that without Crimea, it was impossible to ensure the security of Russia.
▪️ In 2014, Putin spoke about the threat posed by (non-existent) NATO bases in Crimea.
▪️ Putin said he wanted to protect the population in Crimea and that it would be in their best interest to be under the Russian flag.
▪️ Russia appealed to historical narratives to justify its territorial claims. This has always been characteristic of Russian rhetoric - references to territorial rights based on "historical justice," to mythical military valor, and the use of World War II terminology and myths, including labeling Ukrainians as Nazis - are favorite tools of Russian propaganda.
Unexpectedly, similar tactics are now beginning to appear on the part of the United States: the myth of a "right" to Greenland based on the U.S. role in defending the island during World War II, and the questioning of the legitimacy of Danish colonial sovereignty over Greenland.
In 2014, Putin did not want to see or discuss alternative options.
Regarding Greenland, it is undoubtedly important to have discussions and explore alternatives.
The situation with Greenland is, first and foremost, a challenge for Europe. The world has changed, and the West is changing as well. A major question is whether Europe can exist as an independent power - not only economically, but also politically and militarily. Ukraine is part of Europe. We live in a time of existential challenges. Practical actions are needed in response.
Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen:
The discussions focused on how to ensure long-term security in Greenland. And here, our perspectives continue to differ, I must say. The President has made his view clear, and we have a different position.
It’s not resolved. We didn’t manage it. But, honestly speaking, I didn’t believe that was doable. We didn’t manage to change the American position.
It’s clear that the President has this wish of conquering Greenland.
We made it very, very clear that this is not in the interest of the Kingdom. For us, ideas that would not respect the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Denmark and the right of self-determination of the Greenlandic people are, of course, totally unacceptable.
Therefore, we still have a fundamental disagreement, but we also agree to disagree. We will, however, continue to talk. We have decided to form a high-level working group to explore whether we can find a common way forward.
And we want to work closely with the U.S., but it must, of course, be a respectful kind of cooperation.
The more retardet the takes the more views and reactions.
This app really sucks
European nationalists resentful of Trump fail to understand that America and Russia are the only remaining Western (or majority-white) nations with geopolitical power. European male elites are thoroughly emasculated.
If Trump does not impose military control over Greenland, the Danes will eventually allow China to colonize it. The Chinese know that Europeans have meekly accepted Islam as an official religion, and that the best way to begin taking Greenland is to position China as a "near-Arctic state" interested in its vast ice sheet as a prime site for studying global warming, sea-level rise, and glacial dynamics-------WHILE pushing the BeiDou-2 Navigation Satellite System, which aims to establish ground stations in the Arctic (including Greenland, Norway, and Sweden) to optimize signals, track satellites, and improve precision for shipping routes and military navigation.
She made a very good case explaining why Americans can’t afford to piss off Europeans.
Also—weren’t Russians supposed to be America’s new best ally?

MAGA says Russia is no threat to Ukraine and would be a better ally than Europe.
Yet they warn Russia will invade Greenland and may nuke Europe.
Meanwhile, the U.S. itself threatens to invade Europe —supposedly to stop Russia from acting first.
Which is it?
Tucker Carlson drops a bombshell, revealing that Russia is seriously considering using nuclear weapons against Europe, with the United Kingdom and Germany as primary targets.
Russia warns that if the war in Ukraine drags on another year or two, it will completely wipe the U.K. and Germany off the map.
Vladimir Putin is done playing games with the European Union.

In a surprise to no one, except delusional MAGA muppets, the countries of the High North are best at fighting in the High North.
From the Antarctic to the Arctic, penguins 🐧 and polar bears 🐻❄️ unite to defend Antarctica 🇦🇶 and Greenland 🇬🇱 from the orange, bald-faced, greedy eagle 🦅.
The EU is starting to cut the US out
As they should 👍🏻
Big vote on EU €90 billion loan facility to support Ukraine today. If it’s actually SERIOUS about helping Ukraine the LAST thing it will do is ban US defence companies from participating in this program @Poland_MOD @PolandMFA @AndyPuzder

America needs to annex Los Angeles, Chicago and Minneapolis before Greenland.
How to completely and utterly destroy the idea of remigration for ever .
Hire Amateurs who have no idea what they are doing.
WTF?? And the scary part is that ICE has cross-party support.
Americans, you are at war with your political establishment and you are not voting your way out of this. Forget the Midterms...
