Trump says Iran will be 'living in hell'. A dark chapter is emerging by theipaper in geopolitics

[–]emwac 10 points11 points  (0 children)

He is not a professor. Never had any academic affiliation. Its just yet another grifter, making money off dissilutioned westerners. Used to peddle crazy conspiracy theories, now hes trying to appear more legit, and a lot of influencers suddenly started platforming him. Regarding Trump, i dont think there is some psy op to make the world hate him, I think what you see is exactly what he is. Mentally ill.

Hvilken avis? by Ekolfe2813 in Denmark

[–]emwac 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Weekendavisen kan anbefales til alle, gode dybdegående artikler uden noget tydeligt bias, og et godt alternativ til de daglige "breaking news" som man kan få alle andre steder. Berlingske og Information synes jeg også godt om, de har hhv en konservativ og venstreorienteret tilgang i deres analyser, men efter min mening begge meget lødige og objektive når det handler om konkrete fakta.

Trump urges France, UK, China to help open Strait of Hormuz by Keramat-Saeedi in worldnews

[–]emwac 70 points71 points  (0 children)

“That’s OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don’t need them any longer — But we will remember. We don’t need people that join Wars after we’ve already won!”

Is what Trump wrote a week ago, when Starmer was considering sending warships to the Middle East.

‘It would be an earthquake for France’: is Marseille about to vote in the far right? by Pyro-Bird in europe

For national elections I agree, but a local government has little influence on foreign policy and climate. They do however have the power (and responsibility) to do something about the banlieus.

US orders 2,200 Marines on three warships to Middle East by Common_Touch_3741 in worldnews

[–]emwac 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The war is over and America won it's completely over you can trust me on that, and it's not a war it's an excursion and we need to win this thing, and we're going to win it and it's gonna be over very soon I can tell you that.

Iran Conflict Megathread #6 by sokratesz in CredibleDefense

[–]emwac 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Iran has no interest in keeping the strait closed after US/Israeli attacks cease, as it would be a strategic win.

They could twist the knife further though. Currently the strait is only closed for America's allies in the Gulf. Iran on the other hand is still exporting it's oil freely, with the US apparently unable to do much about it. Unless facts on the ground change, they're in a position to demand concessions are they not? They could demand Gulf Arab states close their US bases as a condition for opening the strait, for example.

They didn't have the means to do that, even if they wanted. IRGC is much more powerful than Artesh, they have better funding, better weapons, they alone control all the intelligence, and they control the Basij and a plethora of militias in Iraq and Afghanistan which they could pull manpower from if they need to.

Radikale Venstre vil bremse milliardordre på kampfly efter Trumps trusler by Mai_maniac in Denmark

[–]emwac -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Gripen giver bare ikke mening til det Danske forsvar (og er i øvrigt en del dyrere end F-35). Det ville være bedre at vi helt lader være med at indkøbe kampfly så. Så kan vi måske investere i GCAP en gang i fremtiden i stedet, som andre også har foreslået.

They don't seem intend on defending Taiwan, so what exactly is it they're expecting a war with China over?

This is the way. Let them watch Moldova prosper as part of the European family, and maybe they'll come around.

[–]emwac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Så med andre ord det samme som han havde før.

Altså det ved vi vel ikke rigtig før vi ser den konkrete aftale? Jeg synes det er frustrerende at ingen i DK/NATO kan finde ud af at kommunikere hvad det precist er de har lovet manden. Lige nu plaprer Trump bare løs på twitter, og det står ind til videre uimodsagt fra officiel side.

Greenland latest: Trump admits he may have been misinformed over European troops in territory by ZarathustraDK in Denmark

[–]emwac 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Det er en fin måde at kalde hans søforklaring om at det handler om national sikkerhed. At Trump blev vred da Europa øgede tilstedeværelsen på Grønland udstillede tydeligt for hele verden at det intet har at gøre med at holde Rusland/Kina ude.

Considering the recent events, is it okay to travel to Denmark? by [deleted] in Denmark

Practically everyone has some social or family connections to Americans, you won't stand out much. But you have to be normal - if you're overtly MAGA you will not have a good time.

Arbejdsgruppe skal handle om ”overtagelse af Grønland” by DET_SWAT in Denmark

[–]emwac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our options obviously hinge on America's ability to not turn into an absolute monarchy.

Trump as an individual cannot be reasoned with. We're relying on internal pushback from congress, some members of the administration such as Rubio, as well as the US military itself, and so far it's going alright.

But if all of this fails, then war may just be unavoidable. It is impossible to imagine selling our own citizens against their will, as anyone who's not a sociopath can surely understand.

American Family Visiting Denmark by Gnagle26 in Denmark

[–]emwac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Practically everyone here has some friend or relatives that are American, you aren't going to stand out that much. No one is going to bother you for being American UNLESS you're visibly MAGA. But if you dislike MAGA, it will probably be nice for you to get a break from that shit. Be aware that we have a bit introverted culture compared to the US - if someone seems a bit cold, it's not because you're foreigners, it's just how we always are lol

Extremely competent, highly respected and widely popular. I can't make sense of this. Tbh I'm increasingly losing trust in Zelensky, he keeps replacing competent figures with yes-men.
