@DiddlyDonger Very pretty. Does it live wild in Australia? Mine is probably the black bird. Its song is so calming and I love how it behaves around in the garden.

@Pabu22 I swear that some higher-ups are actively trying to ruin LEC. So many decisions are just straight up bad, even though European league has so much more potential.

Most foreign policy issues are difficult and complicated. Greenland isn’t one of them. Let’s have a look at seven points:
1. The U.S. needs Greenland for its own defense - Golden Dome, radars, basing.
▶️ The United States can do virtually anything it'd like in Greenland, security-wise, without taking possession of it. The 1951 Greenland Defense Agreement, which was renewed in 2004, allows the United States to build bases there, station troops, and more.
2. Greenland is about to fall into the hands of Russia and China, and the U.S. can’t let that happen.
▶️ The U.S. once had 10,000 U.S. troops in Greenland; now there are around 200. If there is an imminent threat of Chinese or Russian takeover (there isn’t), perhaps start by increasing that number?
3. Russian and Chinese ships are swarming Greenland and the Danes can’t fend them off.
▶️ If Russian and Chinese ships are really menacing the island, the U.S. Navy could sail around it right now en masse. It isn’t.
4. The U.S. needs to own Greenland because "you don't defend leases." Even if Denmark allows full access, there’s a difference between owning and renting.
▶️ This is the No One Washes a Rental Car theory of international relations. In reality, the United States is committed to defending many allies whose territory it does not own. Trump himself defended Israel just last year. The whole point of alliances is mutual defense of one another's territory. That doesn't require seizing it.
5. The Danes are bad allies, so they should hand over Greenland.
▶️ Denmark has been a model ally. Not so long ago, Danes fought for America’s defense rather than the other way around. Among 40-plus allies and partners in Afghanistan, Denmark lost the most soldiers as a percentage of its population. Our allies defended the U.S., which, by the way, none of them owns.
6. This is the new Manifest Destiny. We’re an expansionist, frontier people. Greenland should, one way or the other, join the ever-growing Republic.
▶️ The post-1945 order is predicated a prohibition against conquest. Countries don’t acquire the territory of another without their consent. Iraq doesn’t get Kuwait, Russia can’t have Ukraine, Canada won’t be the 51st state, and the U.S. doesn’t compel Greenland to join. We’ve seen a world before in which conquest abounds. It’s the law of the jungle.
7. This isn’t real, just some fun administration trolling of the ever-nervous Europeans.
▶️ It is at a minimum a major distraction from real issues the transatlantic allies should focus on: Russia, Ukraine, Iran, China. Prodding allies to distrust our word and intentions does not amount to good policy.
Most foreign policy issues are difficult and complicated. Greenland isn’t one of them. The sooner this manufactured crisis fades, the better.

As of 31 December 2025, MSF is still awaiting renewal of its registration to operate in Gaza and the West Bank under new Israeli requirements, including staff lists.
The Palestinian health system is decimated, essential infrastructure is destroyed, and people struggle to meet basic needs. People need more services, not less. If MSF and other INGOs lose access, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians would be cut off from essential care.
We currently support one in five hospital beds and the delivery of one in three births in Gaza. In 2025 alone, we provided nearly 800,000 outpatient consultations, treated over 100,000 trauma cases, performed 22,700 surgeries, assisted more than 10,000 births, and distributed nearly 700 million litres of water.

@HML_Compounder @roarbro @adamscochran How is this any different from what Ukraine wants? Ukraine wants to buy a lot of American made weapons, patriots, humans, ammunition, Bradley's etc. Any support to Ukraine goes directly to disarming a dangerous enemy in Russia.
English

@roarbro @adamscochran They’ve gotten tons of support, it all goes directly to our biz. They’ve also purchased tons directly, and given us an incredible wealth of intelligence, weapons testing, and military support free of charge.
The US is not in the business of charity. We get more than we put in.
English

Are you kidding me?
I’m all for the US funding defensive side for its allies, but Israel does not need 25 F-15s, let alone ones fully paid for by the Pentagon.
This is 1/3rd of the money we gave to Ukraine in the for of *OLD* equipment ready to decommission across 3 years of an ACTIVE invasion from our largest geopolitical adversary.
MAGA was screaming tooth and nail about it and saying we had to end “the Biden war spending”
I absolutely support Israel’s right to defend itself, and we should give them the tools to defend themselves - as we should our other allies like Ukraine.
But we should not be paying for a wealthy nation, to get strike capable fighters, until they can show an ability to be responsible when conducting strikes.
Netanyahu buys Trump one dumb plaque and Trump hands him $8B in fighter jets! 🙄
Good job with your “America First” MAGA! 🙄

@zarahsultana This is such an insane privileged thing to say. Countries under threat from imperialist neighbours can't just "prioritise peace". Of course it would be lovely to always be able to negotiate out of conflict, but at the end of the day you have to defend your freedom.
English

NATO isn’t about “peace” or “security”. It’s an imperialist war machine. Just look at Afghanistan and Libya.
Arms dealers profit while our NHS collapses, public services crumble and millions of children grow up in poverty.
We must withdraw from NATO immediately.
People don’t need forever wars. They need material improvements to their lives.
Wages, not weapons. Welfare, not warfare.
