Christ on a bike, Sweden have confirmed they have deployed a squad that lands in Greenland today, Norway have sent 2 officers, and Germany have a small group on a 48 hour recce for 48 hours...

If this is a show of allied strength, i expect Greenland to be raising the star spangled banner within minutes!

It's not about numbers to hold America off Greenland.

It's about the optics of taking an allies land with Nato soldiers on it. What's Trump going to do? take them as Pow's or deport them.

It's about stopping his security arguement. Hence why he's now "Oh we need it for the golden dome".

Yes i guess, but its such a tepid response, its pathetic. The Germans are only there for 2 days as stated very loudly by the German government, Norway specified '2 officers', and Sweden, god knows what Sweden actually sent, a few soccer mums with weaponosed rubber ducks is about all they can muster.

Greenland already host joint Arctic deployments, are an extra 2 Norwegians, and a few swedes really going to present a barrier, when Greenland residents, Danish military and citizens, and multiple other NATO ally, military and citizens are already there?

Who is Sasha Riley and what's behind the viral testimony audio of alleged Epstein survivor? Bad news for Trump due to…

Viral audio of alleged Epstein survivor Sasha Riley claims child trafficking and abuse, naming high-profile figures, but remains unverified.

news24online.com

NB: These accusations are extreme, so worth noting that I don't know how reliable either Barros or Voldeng are. News24Online also include the rider "independent verification of these allegations is not yet available"

Is the "Trump/Epstein criminal network" an official term?

Also, there is a small link between the list of names hes named also lol

This MEME doesn’t really work, though. Boromir was essentially a decent man, a flawed man like us all who was corrupted by the power of the ring. He realised the errors of his ways once he was released from the rings power. You could even argue by today’s standards he might get off on some insanity plea or something.

Trump wants to be Sauron.

NATO Countries will probably start doing more exercises on Greenland and trump will say thats all he wanted anyway, a military presence and claim to have played everyone

******* hilarious. He’s a parody

Its just sickening she probably feels she has to do this so her country is run in a sensible manner rather than a diffrent set of *****.

The fact that Trump isnt even gracious enough to say its hers and he cant accept it...not that Im surprised.

Trump is a ****. It's ridiculous how he's so petty his entire government policy is driven by his ego.

If Machado's Wikipedia page is to be believed she's a right wing nut herself who'd rush to privatise everything

The way you stop a toddler shouting and screaming is not always giving them what they want. Yet everyone keeps doing it.

The only way she should get the top job in Venezuela is by democratic elections. Not buying Trumps love.

Yet still the same shower are still in charge. Delcy Rodríguez is also a 'terrific person'.

It's either could be good politics by sucking up to Trump or she's a fool. I'm not sure which is more appropriate.

One of the few things I do agree with Trump with is Nobel committee got it completely wrong with Obama. Our conclusions are just wildly diffrent. The prize isnt really worth anything because of that.

Trump hates democracy in the USA, he sure as hell doesn’t give a rats arse about democracy in Venezuela.

Not entirely true, he hates democracy when he looses.

Even thats not true. He won in 2016 and 2024 but still said those elections were rigged.

Wasn't 2024 rigged until he won the popular vote?

Possibly but I think he’s said he should’ve won all his elections by a a lot more but the voting process is corrupt. He just hates democracy. It’s why he wishes he could be Putin or Xi.
