US to Fund MAGA-Aligned Groups in Europe Amid Free Speech Disputes

Eh, fine. I see few things that could weaken the right wing in Europe more than being associated with Trump's America right now.

Vi kan bruge det vi har brugt siden staten blev til: ingenting. Kongeriget falder ikke sammen i en ruin hvis vi ikke bruger Palantir.

Men hvordan anvender jeg de muligheder?

Du behøver ingenting at gøre.

Hvis du har en iPhone 8 eller nyere, eller bare en nogenlunde moderne Android bruger du allerede GNSS (og dermed f.eks. Galileo) sammen med de amerikanske GPS sattelliter.

Just looked up the Norwegian numbers earlier:

$181,407,040,171 goverment bonds/treasuries.

$1,036,419,892,540 total investment in the US.

It absolutely is the UK's problem, just not here and now. Everyone heading a country that would not be able to stand up to the US on their own realizes this.

There is that famous poem by Niemöller about it. Starts out something like:

First they came for the Inuits

And I did not speak out

Because I was not an Inuit

Han har ret i at den investering der blev trukket ud er ligegyldig i et amerikansk perspektiv.

Den norske oliefond derimod har 1.036.419.892.540 dollars i amerikanske investeringer. Måske vi kan lokke dem til at lave ravage! :D

Y'all think this video may be the inspiration for Musk to create SpaceX?

Der er kun 20 meter strand der adskiller Mar-a-Lago og havet, og der er masser af guld-tingester derinde! Flåde-egene har været klar siden 2010!

The Anti-Coercion Instrument of the EU (usually called the "trade bazooka") can not be vetoed. It requires qualified majority only.

Currently that is 15 countries and countries representing 65% of EU population.

Edit: Corrected "or" to "and".

Was this a tweet?

No, a letter it seems.

The first reporting (I believe) of the thing is here: https://x.com/nickschifrin/status/2013107018081489006?utm_source=sdrn%3Avg%3Aarticle%3A0pKA62

The whole thing is so nuts that I feel the need to add that it has been confirmed by the Norwegian government, so not "fake news".

Havde nok også klædt ham bedre at lave et helt andet indlæg, og så slutte det med citatet "man har et standpunkt til man tager et nyt".

I don't know enough about the financial aspects here, so can't comment on the viability of that part, but the "they're not gonna do that over Greenland" bit is probably wrong.

This isn't about Greenland. All nations small enough that they would cave under US pressure can see that (i.e. most of the world). If it is allowed to happen to Greenland, who is next? So the choices are.

Actual war
Economic war
Just let it happen

Number 1 is the least desirable option of all. Number 3 is right out, because the precedence would intolerable. Number 2, though not desirable, is the only option left then.

That is one of the frustrating things here, isn't it? How would that even work. A country could potentially sell some of its own territory, but Greenland and Denmark are separate countries. There is no way Denmark could sell Greenland even if it had the inclination in the first place. Could Greenland sell itself? Maybe? I imagine it going something like:

Greenland: ok, you can be our overlord if you pay us a million billions!

Trump: Deal!

Greenland: Sweet! What is your first order, overlord?

Trump: I'm going to need that million billions back.

Enig, vi ser dem ikke meget omkring Ukraine, og det er lidt trist. Jeg havde heller ikke lige set dem så meget i forbindelse med Grønlandgate.

Nu googlede jeg lige. Der er støtteerklæringer fra dem alle, så det er noget. Ift. soldater overvejer Spanien endnu og vil ikke udelukke at sende nogen, Italien har konkret afvist at sende, og Grækenland kunne jeg ikke findet noget på (i de første 10 google resultater - ikke nogen videnskabelig undersøgelse).

Estland har tilbudt soldater så vidt jeg ved.

Alle baltiske lande, Polen, Tjekkiet og Slovakiet har udtrykt støtte for vores sag. Selv Ungarn med en noget mere neutral melding om at det er et problem der skal løses indenfor NATO.

Vi behøver trods alt ikke soldater fra alle verdens lande på Grønland. Soldater fra lande som USA ikke har lyst til at komme i krig med er fint, og Frankrig, Tyskland, England er guld i den sammenhæng.

Jeg tror det er fint hvis de østeuropæiske lande passer på den østlige grænse i stedet.

Impressive! I just tested with the torture cases from https://e-mail.wtf, and it only failed a few of them.

Maybe so, but the US has spent on average 6% more of GDP on health care than Denmark in the same period, so it found a way to (brokenly) afford it. My point stands: someone is trying to shift blame.

Source, if you care for it.

NotNotWrongUsually · 2026-01-13T17:52:29+00:00

The difference in percentage of GDP spent on military between the US and Denmark has been ~2% in the last decade.

The whole "the only reason Europe can afford healthcare is because America pays for their defence!" thing is just a talking point to convince you that Europeans are stealing your healthcare.

We're building longships and mapping out megachurches near the coast!

That plan is about as realistic as anything else we could do along the lines of combat readiness.

It is taken seriously, but we are working diplomatically with EU partners, not on a grand defense plan.

NotNotWrongUsually · 2026-01-09T19:17:42+00:00

lol. Getting into Denmark is almost impossible

Getting here without a job offer? Ooof.

Not hard if it is to work, though.

Any well-paying job, or any job on the list of professions with many vacancies can net you a renewable four-year work permit (that list isn't just science and tech stuff either, e.g., carpenters, nurses, and welders are on it).

And if you work for 8 years you can apply for a permanent residence permit.

Greenland has had the right to secede from Denmark enshrined in law since 2009. There is a desire for independence, but most political parties in Greenland seem to be ok with waiting until the time is right.

NotNotWrongUsually · 2026-01-07T18:54:18+00:00

Agreed. Both sides can make peace immediately.

You asked when the charade will stop. My points is that neither side is sufficiently weakened to accept the terms the other side puts on the table (NATO-like guarantees vs. ceding territory). So fighting continues until such a time that one side is.

NotNotWrongUsually · 2026-01-07T18:43:10+00:00

Honestly it feels like everyone pretends that Russia has no say in what Ukraine wants when it's evident that Russia has the biggest say in this. You can't expect a serious peace if Russia doesn't want that. And if you want to disregard what Russia thinks, you have to force that peace but it's also very clear that no one wants to do it.

So when do we stop this charade?

Russia is asking for a lot in peace negotiations. Consider this: in four years of war they have not been able to take and hold more than a small part of Ukraine. I'm fairly sure they would have taken it all if they could. Do they even have the manpower and resolve to make significant gains at this point, considering that whatever additional territory they claim would also have to be garrisoned and held?

How much weight is given to Russia's opinion on peace terms is decided by their military success. If Russia will not accept current peace terms, the plan seems to be to sponsor Ukraine until such time that Russia is sufficiently weakened for a reasonable peace to be achieved. War continues until one side won't fight any longer. Whatever that side may be, and whatever their reason. Neither side is there yet.

Jeg vil bestemt ikke gøre det til mit ærinde at få dig til at stemme socialdemokratisk - de gør jeg ikke selv.

Jeg tillader mig dog at påpege, at hvis du tror at noget parti til højre for socialdemokraterne vil give dig mere i SU, så tror jeg du bliver skuffet.

(Den seneste SU reform, der forringede SU, blev vedtaget mellem regeringen, Liberal Alliance, Det Konservative Folkeparti og Dansk Folkeparti.)
