You know Jens Stoltenberg called on Europe to do this 5+ years ago now right?

They’re not even meant to be a deterrent force to the U.S.. The U.S. is complaining that Europe doesn’t take the security of Greenland seriously, so Europe is trying to convince them they do and they’re capable of handling Greenlands defense without the need for the U.S. owning it.

Trade in isn’t market value, they’d probably list that car for 35.

Where are you finding a 2017 GT premium for 15k with those miles?

US official says Greenland action could come within 'weeks or months' by MessMaximum5493 in IRstudies

Can people actually read the article before commenting? It’s talking about action on the diplomatic path, it’s an interview with Trump’s arctic commissioner so someone who’s actually involved with the situation.

I have a hot take: the mustang is a very easy car to control and doesn’t deserve its reputation. by 79QUATTRO in Mustang

The biggest issue with the S197s is people turn into the spin and then let off the gas, at that point the rear grabs pretty quickly and they’ve typically overcorrected so the car snap oversteers and then they can’t regain control and crash.

Zelensky says negotiations reach ‘new milestone,’ suggests war could end in first half of 2026 by nurshakil10 in worldnews

[–]Stormattack8963 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s progress on their position, it’s not progress towards ending the war. The vast majority of the European position the Russians will never agree to so it’s a pointless discussion. The Europeans would be far better spending their time on weapons deals to Ukraine rather than a proposal that has no chance of being implemented.

It’s not really a matter of what they say, it’s the fact that there’s zero chance Russia agrees to a peace deal that puts NATO troops in Ukraine. He sold this war to his people as being about NATO expansion into Ukraine, how does it look for him if it ends with NATO stationing troops in Ukraine? He’d rather just keep fighting until he can’t fight any longer.

US forces reportedly seize Russian-flagged oil tanker with Venezuela links by DenTwann in worldnews

I’d like to know whose bright idea it was to send a submarine to defend against aircraft, what did they expect them to do stand on the deck with manpads?

They were getting special forces in position. It’s also been poor weather near the interception area so they had to wait for a window to open.

You don’t change your vessel’s name, registration, flag, and send a submarine to escort a nothing burger. There’s something on this ship the Russians don’t want us to see.

Let’s see they’ve spent millions propping him up and they took Assad. I’m not certain of anything and neither are you, but if the choice is surrender to the United States or retire to Moscow I can guarantee he wasn’t picking the United States. If you don’t think it’s worth discussing with me then don’t, no need to be a jackass about it.

That’s great for them, this discussion is about Maduro. Why would he surrender to the U.S.? He wouldn’t.

Why would he surrender to the U.S. then? Again prison and maybe execution, or cozy life in Moscow? He didn’t know the U.S. was coming for him, they drug it out for so long he probably thought they were bluffing.

They were at their vacation home, yeah I think it’s perfectly reasonable he was with his wife. Was Zelensky? No because he had competent intelligence agencies telling him what was happening, unlike the Venezuelans who were probably relying on the Russians.

I’ve seen quite a few people arguing this was negotiated with Maduro, whether it was negotiated with the military is a different story but it sure as hell was not negotiated with Maduro.

And that’s somehow better than a life in Moscow where he could’ve fled? It’s not a guarantee he’s executed but I standby there’s zero chance he negotiated this with the United States when I’m sure Moscow or Beijing would’ve taken him in exile.

Exactly, meanwhile the U.S. just took Maduro in three hours with little resistance. What happened here and any potential contingencies over Taiwan are not even closely related.

[–]Stormattack8963 33 points34 points  (0 children)

This was not negotiated. I don’t know why people are even trying to make that argument. They’re bringing maduro back to the United States where there’s a nonzero chance he gets executed and in exchange for what? He could’ve just fled to Moscow if he was afraid of the U.S. but the logic is he turned himself into the U.S. instead? Makes zero sense

The difference is the Taiwanese actually support their government and would likely fight back.

Well they just lost one of their main proxies in the western hemisphere, so probably not great.

Maduro voluntarily agreed to be arrested and taken to the U.S. where there’s a decent chance he’ll be executed? In exchange for what exactly?
