@EmmanuelMacron General George S. Patton famously said "I would rather have a German division in front of me than a French one behind me." …use your imagination now on what Macron is saying or can do :)

Emmanuel Macron@EmmanuelMacron·
It is time to open a path towards de-escalation in order to restore stability in the Middle East. France calls for the immediate implementation of a moratorium on strikes targeting civilian infrastructure, whether related to water or to energy. Freedom and security of navigation must be restored. As the region enters a period of religious celebrations and renewal, tempers must cool and hostilities must cease, in order to give a real chance to the prospect of a negotiated and sustainable solution.

You’re living in la-la land. If the U.S. had chosen a military option, it would be over before it started. No Danish or European force could stand against U.S. military power. Washington is asking for cooperation, not confrontation. Given how Spain, the UK and others are behaving lately, it only reinforces why the U.S. is prioritizing its strategic interests and where there is base there should be immune with sovereignty . Time to be realistic and pragmatic not Euro snob in denial . You stand no Chance against China or Russia with out USA mighty ..for that matter you can include Canada also and all of you . Smarten up !

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

@dansemperepico I share your frustration :) I wish I didn’t have to drive my BMW. The $99/month FSD is the best personal driver.

I hate driving my BMW since I got my Tesla. It's just such a good hassle-free daily driver car. I get angry that when I park my BMW I have to put it in park, put the handbrake on, turn the engine off, open the door, close the door, and lock the car all myself. Plus I have a ginormous key to carry around. With Tesla I can just unbuckle my seatbelt and open the door and it does everything else automatically as I walk away (yes even shutting the door by itself). I sat at BMW for 1.5 hours today while they changed my windscreen wipers, meanwhile Tesla is coming to do mobile service at my house this week to change one of the trunk motors. Pretty sure Tesla has ruined all other cars for me unless I get something really special like a porsche/lambo/ferrari/aston one day.

The tech stack is still poor compared to Tesla's, and self-driving is way behind. Ambient lighting and everything else is great, but you still need to drive it. Unless they “lease” FSD from Tesla, it's very hard to compete with the Model 3 and Y on value and price. My take anyway, as I've had an S-Class for over 25 years.

THE TRUTH Which you already know : Without Uncle Sam's mighty warships dominating the Mediterranean and Red Sea, Europe’s entire economy would COLLAPSE overnight! Denmark’s precious Maersk super-ships? Screwed! Half the EU’s trade through Suez? Dead in the water! All thanks to… wait for it… AMERICAN NAVAL POWER keeping the sea lanes open 24/7! Yes, NATO’s just a “defensive” club no Article 5 panic button yet. But guess what? The U.S. doesn’t NEED Denmark’s tiny fleet to protect ITS interests. Washington can single-handedly keep global trade alive while Copenhagen enjoys the ride for FREE! Here’s the jaw-dropping hypocrisy they don’t want you to hear: Europe happily cashes the peace dividend while lecturing America about “detachment.” You benefit from the very security umbrella Uncle Sam pays for with blood and treasure then pretend you’re above it all?! Debate? Sure! But this fairy-tale fantasy that Europe has “no stake” while American taxpayer and muscle guards your prosperity? That’s not analysis that’s DELUSION! Allies can bicker… but denying cold, hard strategic reality? Especially from someone who should know better? Come on! Washington learned the hard way this time : never bet your security on foreign politicians who suddenly get cold feet. Hence helloooo Greenland drama! So take a breath, … CHILL… and finally admit why America does what it does. Because without us? Your whole system implodes. Period. End of story! 🚨🇺🇸

The US American right wing is now blaming Europe for not helping them attack Iran. To be honest, Europe does not yet have very clear opinions about this. The USA launched a war without warning, without a public debate, and without consulting Europe, so we are only now starting to form opinions about it. Right now, I think most people feel like this: NATO is a defensive alliance. We have no obligation to join U.S. attacks on other countries. We would only do so if they involved us and presented compelling reasons, clear objectives, and a solid plan. And all of that is missing. There is no question that the Iranian regime is evil and deserves to be overthrown after it killed 30,000 demonstrators. But the goal does not seem to be regime change, and the threat of nuclear weapons is not convincing. We all remember the USA lying about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and cannot be expected to trust a similar claim at face value again. We need better reasons and stronger evidence before entering a war without a plan that is likely to result in chaos. I am open to arguments, but I think this is how most Europeans feel right now.

Dea Minisiter - Paying more for Ukraine is finally the right move.But claiming Europe now “owns” the war and therefore the negotiations ignores who sustained the defense effort from day one. Leadership comes from consistency, not late Euro French style creative accounting…you know that all EU does not even have the goodies to deliver ..get real please and no theatrics and posturing

Powiem jasno. To Europa płaci teraz za tę wojnę. Kupujemy amerykańską broń, aby dostarczyć ją Ukrainie. Dodatkowy pakiet pomocowy USA wyczerpał się w zeszłym roku.

Ilhan Omar is a case study in abuse of American generosity. Given refuge, safety, and power she repaid it with fraud , contempt, division, and nonstop attacks on the nation that saved her life and elevated her to Congress. She doesn’t represent American values, unity, or loyalty to the Constitution. She represents grievance politics, identity capture, and ideological hostility from inside the house. If laws were broken, investigate. If ethics were violated, prosecute. If standards still matter, remove her. America is not a platform to hate the country that made you. Enough.

🚨 HOLY CRAP. It's been exposed that Ilhan Omar's husband's investment firm — which skyrocketed their net worth to $30M — has "NO CLIENTS" and ZERO records of them managing money IT'S FRAUD. x.com/i/status/20172… "They say they do work in 80 nations operating in. There's no SEC registrations for them as investment advisers. What is going on here?!" 🤯 "This increasingly looks sketchy, both the winery and his investment firm. The winery may not exist and the firm may be just a really a name only!" “It’s amazing how people can go into Congress and then become these entrepreneurial investing geniuses, where they come in, she had under $1,000 of net worth, and her husband didn't have much, and suddenly now they're multimillionaires. Is there a money laundering operation here?! Something is not right!" Deport her. NOW.

This is childish politics, not strategy. The F-35 is why Denmark still has air superiority at all. No European jet comes close not in sensors, survivability, software, or integration. You bought it because reality forced you to. Perhaps USA should stop selling it to the ungrateful allies . You can’t boycott security and still demand protection. Alliances aren’t Netflix subscriptions and as MP you should know better Denmark cannot defend Greenland. Never could. The U.S. put billions there to secure the Arctic for the entire West while you complain from safety… 80 years of your peace, prosperity, and sovereignty were underwritten by U.S. taxpayers. Less whining. More capability. More gratitude.

Ordered a Tesla Model Y yesterday entirely via the app. Picked it up all done via the Tesla App with quick check in at Tesla dealer , and it drove me home autonomously in snowy NJ roads with zero intervention. No dealership. No haggling. No wasted hours. No salesmen. Why would anyone spend half a day in old car dealers getting nickel-and-dimed to buy a car that still needs to be driven? Bravo @elonmusk and the Tesla team. This is how the future actually arrives. Full autonomy is here ⚡️❄️🚗@Tesla

Carney keeps posturing like Canada is America’s equal. It’s not. Not even close. The U.S. could wake up tomorrow and import only oil, gas, minerals, and power no lumber, no canola, no agriculture, no meat, no poultry, no fish, no dairy and slap 100% tariffs on every finished Canadian product. Canada would be reduced to a hole in the ground with a flag. Factories shut. Capital flees. Canadian Dollar collapses. Jobs vanish. All manufacturing moves south. Period. That’s not a threat. That’s arithmetic. And if Ottawa wants to escalate . The U.S. can walk away from NORAD and Five Eyes, leaving Canadian security exposed while still using Canadian airspace when it suits U.S. defense needs. When 75% of your exports go to one customer, you don’t mouth off at the checkout counter. You say thank you and move along. Statecraft isn’t vibes. It’s leverage. And the leverage sits in Washington. FAFO. 🇺🇸

Dr Mo . Will a weaker dollar can quietly reduce U.S. debt if managed correctly? With Most U.S. debt is fixed-rate and dollar-denominated. Inflation + growth mean old debt gets repaid with cheaper dollars. That’s not collapse,? Is that correct ?. Will most Foreign holders eat part of the loss. Debt/GDP improves. USA Exports get a lift.? Did China used this playbook for 30 years. Can the U.S. can beat them at their own game with transparency, rule of law, and credibility ? Will this chaos kills the trade or lose confidence and yields explode.? Do you think that the goal is not just a weak dollar it’s a predictable one. Stealth perhaps better than panicking now?

That’s not collapse, it’s math. It’s a win Foreign holders eat part of the loss. Debt/GDP improves. USA Exports get a huge lift. China used this playbook for 30 years.

Mother of all deals” is theater. India is 3% of global GDP not a market that moves Europe’s needle, and still operates as a non-market economy. Its recent growth was fueled by cheap Russian oil, evading sanctions while the U.S. absorbed the cost. U.S. tariffs and pressure pushed India toward Europe and Brussels rushed in out of desperation. Let’s be clear who you’re dealing with: Russia is India’s loyal strategic ally, not Europe’s. And everyone in Europe knows the model: outsourcing, labor arbitrage, and constant IP disputes in pharma and tech. Headlines aren’t strategy. Population isn’t leverage. Europe tried this logic with China 20 years ago and paid dearly. This is EU optics, not power. India simply played Europe’s weakness perfectly.

You may already know this ..quick.. Reality check: The U.S. is 25–26% of world GDP. India is only 3.4% of world GDP. USA anchors global finance, trade, security, and demand. India is still scaling while buying Russian oil and outsourcing Western jobs and Indian’s line up to migrate into USA at any cost . Calling EU–India a “mother of all deals” isn’t strategy it’s only a cope.
