A strategic move indeed. #Denmark’s €1.9B Accelerationsfond investment in Finnish Patria APVs (via the EU/Nordic CAVS program) signals deeper European defense autonomy — a quiet “Elbows Up” against dual pressures: using Nordic-made armor to secure interests, whether countering #Russia aggression… or *managing* #Greenland’s geopolitical spotlight. #MAGA

Indeed it does!

"The American imperialism directed towards Denmark and Canada is not just morally wrong. It is strategically disastrous. The US has nothing to gain from it, and much to lose."

Trump, like Putin has no interests in protecting democracy. Democracy is just an illusion to make people behave.

Trump, like Putin is mainly looking for resources, power and territorial expansion.

They compete, but play the same game, and see the same threats.

Trump wants to get rid of #NATO, because he prefers to let Europe draw Putins attention.

But to leave NATO he needs #Greenland, to protect USA.

@Snowshadow A part of me is grieving. I am watching my government stab allies in the back who previously bled together with #America 🇺🇸, defending shared values against tyrants & criminal governments.

Now, the future for all is uncertain. It is embarrassing too. ☹️

My President is openly talking about conquering #Canada 🇨🇦 & #Greenland 🇬🇱, as if we need more space (we don’t!). Why would we need to conquer allied nations‽ It is cheaper & easier to work with them. It’s insanity!
