we live in age of great moral panics about things that don’t matter at all and zero moral outrage over some of the most egregious societal sins we’ve ever seen

@davidfrum Trump was never going to attack Greenland and you'd have to be a retard-level genius to believe that to be true

If you wonder why Europeans flinch from helping US in Gulf - in January, NATO allies were seriously preparing for a US sneak attack on Greenland, planning to blow up runways to prevent a Trump re-enactment of Putin's failed strike on Kyiv.
Orla Joelsen@OJoelsen

Denmark prepared for a possible U.S. attack: Flew blood supplies to Greenland and planned to blow up runways Key sources in Denmark and Europe are now revealing for the first time what happened during the most critical days, when Donald Trump threatened to take Greenland “the hard way.” When Danish soldiers were rapidly deployed to Greenland in January this year, they brought explosives with them. The plan was to destroy runways in Nuuk and Kangerlussuaq to prevent American military aircraft from landing troops on the island, should the U.S. president ultimately decide to seize Greenland by force. They also transported blood supplies from Danish blood banks so wounded personnel could be treated in case of combat. This is reported by DR, which over the past year has spoken with central sources in the Danish government, top military officers, and high-ranking officials and intelligence sources in Denmark, France, and Germany. All sources have played—and continue to play—key roles in the international crisis triggered by the United States’ demand for control over Greenland. Together, the sources describe an unprecedented year marked by sleepless nights. None of them had concrete intelligence of specific American attack plans against Greenland. Still, many feared in January that the historically important ally, the United States, could attack at any moment. At the same time, Denmark reached out to its European allies, leading to closer cooperation. “With the Greenland crisis, Europe realized once and for all that we must be able to handle our own security,” said a French senior official involved in the intense period. A rapid-response force consisting of Danish, French, German, Norwegian, and Swedish soldiers was first deployed to Nuuk and Kangerlussuaq. Shortly after, a main force followed, including: -Soldiers from the Danish Dragoon Regiment in Holstebro -Elite troops from the Jaeger Corps -French alpine troops trained for cold and mountainous warfare At the same time, Danish fighter jets and a French naval vessel were sent to the North Atlantic. According to several sources, the goal of having multinational troops on the ground was to ensure that any U.S. attempt to take Greenland would require a large-scale hostile action—thereby deterring such an attempt. “We have not been in such a situation since April 1940,” said a Danish defense source, referring to the days before Denmark’s occupation during World War II. Unlike in 1940, when Denmark chose not to resist militarily, the government and defense leadership this time decided—after extensive confidential discussions—to take the opposite approach: If the U.S. attempted an attack, Danish forces would be armed and ready to fight. Danish F-35 fighter jets deployed north were also fully armed. All this despite the understanding that Denmark could not realistically withstand a U.S. military attack. “The cost for the U.S. had to be raised. The U.S. would have to carry out a hostile act to take Greenland,” said a senior Danish defense source. Source: DR

The United Kingdom has demanded that 4chan pay a £520,000 fine for failure to comply with UK age verification laws. However, since 4chan is based in the USA, the UK has no jurisdiction to fine Americans in America. “As has been explained to your agency, ad nauseam, the United Kingdom lost the American Revolutionary War. We are not in the mood to discuss the matter further, and have not been in the mood for 250 years.” The letter to the UK’s Ofcom ended by suggesting that “maybe, you could just stop sending Americans stupid letters and acknowledge the sovereignty of the United States.” 4chan’s attorney, @prestonjbyrne also included a picture of a giant hamster dressed as Godzilla.

New York Gov Kathy Hochul is begging wealthy people who have moved to Florida and Texas to come back to New York and pay taxes. 🤣 "I need people who are high net worth to support the generous social programs that we want to have in our state. Now, there are some patriotic millionaires who stepped up. OK, cut me the checks if you want to be supportive, but maybe the first step should be go down to Palm Beach and see who you can bring back home." "I have to look at the fact that we are in competition with other states who have less of a tax burden on their corporations and their individuals. And I would say remote work changed everything." "There were people who could only work in an office in Manhattan and work in New York state. And they were captives to our state, they were going to stay. We saw that that's not the case. Wall Street businesses looking at Texas, they're not going there because they have a nicer governor. They're going there because of the tax rate."

So basically NATO is we defend you for free and you tell us to eat shit every time we need help? Oh right you sent some troops that never left the wire to Iraq so all debts are paid forever, past and future. Fuck this noise.
Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz@bundeskanzler

Wir werden uns nicht daran beteiligen, in der Straße von Hormus mit militärischen Mitteln eine freie Schifffahrt zu gewährleisten. Der Krieg im Nahen Osten ist nicht Angelegenheit der NATO. Deshalb wird sich Deutschland auch nicht militärisch einbringen.

Maybe it’s because I’m American but I can’t understand these European countries. Yall have terror attacks and threats almost all of which come from Iran and when the US steps up to handle it the strait gets clogged and you don’t want to step in and help secure your national stability? Explain it to me. it’s just wild to see yall look at global stability and shipping as a spectator sport.

The IRGC before bombs drop: "It is my great honor to die for Allah in battle against the Great Satan! We will bathe in the blood of the infidels and free Palestine from the river to the sea!" After: "HOLY FUCK! THIS IS A VIOLATION OF INTERNATIONAL LAW! OH GOD, MAKE IT STOP!"

WaPo just casually admits there's 200,000 "migrants" who stole trucking jobs from Americans, one of our most dependable and best paying working class careers. Most can't even read our road signs and have killed too many innocent Americans just to save a few bucks. Long overdue.
The Washington Post@washingtonpost

Some 200,000 immigrant truck drivers will begin to lose their commercial driver’s licenses as they expire under a new Trump administration rule that takes effect Monday. wapo.st/40ALq6V

@ArnulfoCarden17 @Grummz You shouldn't get punished for how many people you follow. The whole point of the original site was to curate who you followed. It was always asymmetric

@Grummz That's because Twitter 2.0 is factoring in both followers and following. If you have a million followers, but don't follow anyone beyond 200 people, you're going to get throttled. I've seen it in real-time as people like Amuse post in a thread, 1 hour later he's gone 15 likes.

It's really ridiculous on X that I see accounts with 1.5M followers, who I follow for their unique thoughts, barely crack 15k views on their posts. X used to promote interesting thinkers. Now it won't even show those posts to their own followers.

The Department of War is populated by literally tens of thousands of mid-grade officers whose singular job in life is to write and continuously update a plethora of operations orders that cover every imaginable contingency involving the US military, down to the tiniest detail. If you can imagine it, there is an OPORD for it. Never tell me a US military mission lacked adequate planning. It's a lie.
