"Just 6% of Greenlanders want to join the United States. There are more people who think we faked the moon landing (~10%).

85% of Greenlanders are opposed.

Meanwhile, less than 30% of Americans want Greenland to join the U.S.

I've rarely seen anything so unpopular."

~ Harry Enten quoted by Greg Dworkin

"Reuters reported that Russia is offering to give a nuclear power plant to Musk for his mission to colonize Mars. Kirill Dmitriev, head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund: 'Russia can offer a small-sized nuclear power plant for a mission to Mars and other advanced technological capabilities.'"

"Putin cannot contain his delight with American imperialism over Greenland. In generating artificial crises in relations with both Denmark and Canada, America’s two closest allies these last eighty years, the Trump people cut America loose from security gains and create a chaos in which Russia benefits."

"At some point, we need to get the message. Steve Witkoff, Trump’s special envoy and pal, did his best to say it loud and clear this week when he dismissed Starmer’s plan for an international 'reassurance' force to support a ceasefire in Ukraine as 'a posture and a pose', calling it the 'simplistic' result of the PM and others thinking 'we have all got to be like Winston Churchill'."

It's all interconnected. Of course it is:

"As JD Vance touched down in Greenland, the Trump administration received an unlikely endorsement for the US’s first potential territorial expansion since 1947: Vladimir Putin. …

It does not take a Kremlinologist to understand why Putin has come out in support of Trump’s annexation plan."

"The Russian president is the impediment to US proposals for a ceasefire. But Europe knows that this administration is unlikely to act accordingly. ...Mr Trump has little grasp of detail, his “deal-making” prowess is self-declared, and he has long been drawn to Mr Putin."

“Many times when Putin and Trump are interacting, Putin’s actually making fun of him. It’s just completely lost in the translation. I can give lots of episodes of this. Or he’s goading him and urging him onto something because he’s trying to see how he will react."

As Evan Hurst notes, it's clear from multiple instances that

"Vladimir Putin mocks Trump to his face, he mocks him behind his back, and he mocks him on live TV in front of audiences of Russians."

Though Fox News and Trump epigones want to pretend that Putin didn't keep Trump waiting for their recent phone call — a humiliation tactic — there's video footage of Putin laughing about this to an audience who laugh back.

"Trump thinks about Canada in much the same way Vladimir Putin thinks about Ukraine. He identifies with his fellow imperialist. ... the way Trump talks about annexing Canada bears a disconcerting resemblance to the way Putin talks about annexing Ukraine."

Reminds me of the story of the man crossing a bridge in Washington, DC.

Suddenly, he spots Donald Trump drowning in the Tidal Basin, then notices Elon Musk drowning in the Potomac. Both are far gone - there's time to rescue only one....

The man faces a difficult choice - should he have pizza or a burger for his supper.
