In Socialist Grifter Millionaire Paradise of Davos, Gavin Newsom Calls Upon World Leaders to Oppose the United States
Before getting to that: The EU is very bothered about Trump's drive to take Greenland.
Trump has threatened punishing tariffs against the EU for opposing his takeover of Greenland.The European Union's top official did not hold back in her warnings about President Donald Trump's threat to impose fresh tariffs on countries opposing his push for the U.S. to acquire Greenland, a semiautonomous Danish territory. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called Trump's threats "a mistake" and questioned U.S. trustworthiness, saying that the EU-U.S. trade deal from July had to "mean something." "Arctic security can only be achieved together. This is why the proposed additional tariffs are a mistake, especially between long-standing allies. The EU and U.S. have agreed to a trade deal last July. And in politics as in business -- a deal is a deal. And when friends shake hands, it must mean something," Von der Leyen said.This woman routinely attempts to impose European anti-speech controls on US citizens by shellacking Elon Musk with fines. We're not friends.
...
All you do is coerce the US.
French President Emmanuel Macron also addressed the issue at Davos, saying the tariffs could force the EU to use its anti-coercion mechanism against the U.S. "for the very first time," The Associated Press reported.
The outlet noted that he argued that allied countries should be focused on bringing peace to Ukraine and ending the nearly four-year war with Russia.Then stop buying Russian oil.
Trump announced on Saturday that starting on Feb. 1, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the U.K., the Netherlands and Finland would face a 10% tariff on all goods imported to the U.S. The rate will then increase to 25% on June 1. The president added that "this tariff will be due and payable until such time as a deal is reached for the complete and total purchase of Greenland." ... Some European nations recently tried to flex their muscles with a brief troop deployment to Greenland. France, Germany, Sweden and Norway participated in a two-day exercise to bolster the Danish territory's defenses amid Trump's threats. Germany deployed a reconnaissance team of 13 personnel, France sent 15 mountain specialists and Sweden, Norway and Britain sent three, two and one officers, respectively, according to Reuters.
I continue not understanding Trump's fascination with Greenland. But when I hear our ungrateful EU enemies shrieking, my opposition to Trump's takeover decreases. About that Russian oil the Europeans keep buying while pretending to support the Ukraine:
Scott Bessent wants to know why Europeans claim they're supporting Ukraine while they're arming Russia by buying Russian oil.
Barron TrumpTrump blasted the "foolish fortune-tellers" forever prophesizing climate doom. Commerce Secretary Harold Luthwick blasts the WEF: "Globalism has failed." He assails the organization for endlessly pushing companies to "off-shore" and "far-shore" all of a country's jobs to foreign nations.
@BarronTNews_ 4h 🚨 HOLY CRAP! Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent just went straight at Europe to their faces in Davos. "Let's be clear. Europe is STILL buying Russian oil. Still. Four years later." "They are literally financing the war against themselves."
Howard Lutnick just walked into DAVOS and TORCHED the globalists.

Many are pointing out that the leftwing tech communists used to propagandize endlessly about "climate change." But their new grift, AI, requires huge amounts of power. So to keep making piles of money, they've all decided, simultaneously, to stop agitating about climate change and start talking up increasing energy production.

@DataRepublican AI requires massive amounts of energy. The elites find AI useful. Ergo, the elites abandoned renewables and climate change justice overnight.

On the EU tariffs,
I am really disappointed that Trump did not match their VAT.
VAT is an *export subsidy* as well as an import tariff. This is straight up mercantilism and Trump should be addressing that for starters.
If trade was fair between EU and USA, the only thing we would ever import from them would be artisanal cheeses and wine. Maybe some luxury goods made by Chinese in Italy.

Golden Dome and to prevent it from being used as a weapon against the US.
I also think it is to divorce ourselves from Euroland as they were struggling to get us into a shooting war with Russia over Ukraine.
Euroland does the same twostep that China does--Panda face and War face except via Nato and EU faces. So Trump is busy nuking all these multilateral international treaties and organizations that act against US interest (often being stabbed in the back by the EU as much as our adversaries like China or Russia).
Bringing things back to bilateralism means that the results are much more reciprocal than US takes it in the shorts every time.

I love the meme of Trump pretending to be a mullah to go to Greenland. The only thing I understand is a need for protection (I guess Iron Dome like Israel?) and keeping Russia and chy na's paws away from our continent. As well as the rare minerals.
After reading of the eugenics that Denmark did to the Inuits, I don't see why they'd be loyal to them. It was Margaret Sanger stuff, but decades later, in what was done to our Native Americans.
One lady said she could not have children because at some point someone inserted an IUD into her uterus. At another point she had pain (I guess from the IUD) and had her fallopian tubes removed.
They also live in apartments with black mold that are not well insulated and freezing cold. The very few jobs there (fishing) don't pay squat.
I think I'd want America at this point!

"Oh, that's silly, Denmark is an ally. China will never take that land. China will not have influence. Why would anyone think China could make inroads on a strategic piece of land that is historically USA dominated?"
My response: Are you a f-ing idiot?
- UK handing Chagos to Mauritius -- Diego Garcia. We are about to lose access to that.
- Panama Canal -- We built it! but a year ago China controlled both ports so if there was a war, we would be denied access.
- Philippines!! -- They were a colony. They were allies. Then they invited in China and started handing them chunks of territory.
Nothing is settled until the entire world understands that USA is serious and will bomb their asses if we think they are about to turn on us. We have avoided that stance for too long.

China has a habit of ignoring boundaries, international laws and sovereignty. They plan on exploiting the Arctic in any way they can for petroleum, rare minerals, fishing etc. They feel they are entitled.
Greenland offers shipping routes and a base opportunity for these goals. Trump is correct to take contrary measures. Even if they are expensive.

Same as the welfare class that hates the police but can't quit getting a welfare check.
They used and abused the US and refused to revise (even had their flying monkeys in DC and interest groups) the old Cold War understanding. Constant backstabbing in diplomacy, constant reneging on NATO spending, stealing, regulating, and fining US companies to try to prop up their home industries, and tariffing and regulating the hell out of US imports while running trade surpluses for decades.
Frankly I don't care if they go commie or Muzzie but their value as allies to the US is approaching nil.
Lower than nil when they tried to get us to fight directly with Russia or provoke Russia by stealing all the frozen wealth to repay their banks and refill their treasuries.

Kosovo has an ancient coal power plant from the Yugoslavia days in desperate need of upgrade/replace. The US was all ready to help them build a modern coal facility, as the country has limitless lignite and would therefore have energy independence, but the EU partners said "no" and crushed the plan.
How the tables have turned. Remember: international law and norms are just cover for powerful nations to coerce weak ones. Powerful nations will do whatever they need to, international law be damned.

Oh, crossing the threads. You confused me.
The neoconfederates don't really bring much to the table, it's mostly agitprop and I will note that the weekend proved Trump correct in slow-walking the Insurrection Act.
The rebels think they have some momentum and TACO and all that, but attacking people at worship pisses off the normies. Timing is everything.

Main computers I run Linux, even the Windows 11 machine build is a dual boot Linux, Windows.
I have a few antique Windoze machines that run specific programs that I don't want to buy again at inflated prices (mathematics and stats).
Tax programs though don't run well on Linux through WINE. So the Mac would just be for taxes only. I hated safari and the various crap that Crapple does from having a Mac at work for years but Microsoft has taken the lead in a focus for my hatred.
For fun, I got a very old BX2 Pentium machine running this summer using Debian Trixie 32 bit. Runs slow but it did boot and run.

With whom? From what I hear, there isn't any actual legal paperwork for the Danes to show legal ownership in the first place, nor is there much of a legal doctrine for them to use.
An obvious step to take is to establish Greenland as independent from Denmark first, anyway. It is literally Greenland's right at this point, according to Danish law.

The Globe and Mail (via a rando twitter link)
military planners are modelling a U.S. invasion from the south, expecting American forces to overcome Canada’s strategic positions on land and at sea within a week and possibly as quickly as two days.
Canada does not have the number of military personnel or the sophisticated equipment needed to fend off a conventional American attack, they said. So, the military envisions unconventional warfare in which small groups of irregular military or armed civilians would resort to ambushes, sabotage, drone warfare or hit-and-run tactics.
The aim of such tactics would be to impose mass casualties on U.S. occupying forces, the official said.

The Telegraph article continues with Canadian employment of drone warfare against US forces, comparing such antics with the mess in Ukraine. Good luck with that. We'd retaliate by closing every single Tim Hortons in the Great White North.

At this point the happenings began to escalate. Eager to make an epic display of retardation demonstrate resolve and independence in the face of these sudden American ambitions on Danish territory, a variety of European countries announced they would send soldiers to Greenland in a display of “military solidarity” with Denmark. Germany sent a grand total of 13 or 15 soldiers (reports vary) to defend the icy island against the Americans. They departed on a matte grey A400M Atlas military transport with plenty of press on hand for photographs.

For how many decades have the European NATO member states failed to spend the agreed upon amount for defense?
Posted by: I used to have a different nic at January 20, 2026 07:04 PM (ExV1e)
Probably all of them in all the years since the fall of the USSR. At least. And what they do spend is likely waste and corruption.

Greenland was called "Greenland" by the Viking because when they first discovered it during the Medieval Warm Period, the climate there wasn't so bad, and they could grow crops.
Later, things got cold again for a while, and they bailed out because it got too cold.
Trump figures: Either the Global Warming predictions will come true, or they won't.
If they come true, then by snagging Greenland he just acquired a huge amount of prime real estate back when it was undervalued.
If they don't com true, then the climate catastrophe cult will collapse and the US wins the long-term war anyway.
It's a win-win scenario, by betting on both sides.

I think Kavanaugh will give the 5th vote with Roberts having to reluctantly join the opinion so as to give it to the justice he thinks will give him a narrow opinion. Hawaii's new law was literally making it impossible to carry at all except at home and that was what it was designed for.

In fact a ruined relationship with them, a breakup of NATO, and a drawdown of our military there would all be highly desirable, leaving aside Greenland.

Russia doesn't want more of Ukraine than it already has. They're not interested in adding a restive, non-Russian population that they'd have to deal with. The killing would have ben over long ago if the EU (and Biden) had been willing to allow the Russian provinces to leave peacefully.

Here's my take from watching Trump. He has masterfully prepped the battlefield. He puts out the most outrageous demands and gets the response he wanted.
Now, he'll come back and offer a 100 year lease. The Euros can save a little face while we now can invest knowing regardless of what government may come, we have what we want from Greenland. We can invest in infrastructure for mining, etc. and finalize the missing piece of the Golden Dome.
Also, the current residents can remain subject of the Danish crown which has done so much for them. I assume they're all on the dole, so we won't have that expense. They said they wanted to remain subjects, so go and may God forgive your souls.

The US could invade and conquer the core of Canada entirely with a few states' National Guard units.
The "insurgency" would be based on urban areas by effete gun-fearing people who we could easily cow into submission merely by appointing all the Muslims and Sikhs to be our enforcers, a job they would relish.

Mint is a nice take on Debian. Ubuntu has been pushing the boundaries lately to take on Arch installs with up to the date kernels, etc. If someone wants Ubuntu, go with the LTS versions and wait about six months until installing the latest LTS version after it becomes available. I've used Linux since about 2008-9 for my main internet computers and even using open office and now libre office suite for most needs.
Debian is becoming a much more viable option as well for the DIY sort.
Arch is a good OS but does require some user maintenance to fix issues from being at the cutting edge of kernels. BSD Unix is also seeing a revival lately but not for beginners.
I am a bit irritated for the RAM shortage as I was intending to build a new system to run OS in containers which would let me get rid of some hardware. Prefer at least 64 gig of ram to do that.

To make it a movie thread, I'd refer you to "The Devil's Brigade" a sixties movie about a Canadian and American regiment merging, training and then going off to fight the Nazis. Starring Cliff Robertson and William Holden, who was so chronically drunk at the time they had trouble filming it.
