1 day agoI think most of the western analysts think that this would be a possible compromise. Allowing Russia to hold Crimea and donbass, at least defacto, and Ukraine joins nato to prevent further incursion by Russia.

Literally everyone who didn’t vote for Trump was saying this lol
The fact that Trump might be considering security guarantees is honestly kinda promising, though. Letting Ukraine into nato would be the single best broken clock moment this decade. I don’t think russia will be in a position to accept that within 100 days, but we can hope.
yeah, imagine how much more efficient the western economies would be if they didn’t have this crippling dependency on a trillion dollars of gasoline a year and trillions of dollars worth of cars.
Saudi Arabia and Russia would go broke overnight. Entire government debts would be written off.
I don’t think Norway’s wealth or energy supply has anything to do with it.
Aren’t US taxes on gas cars lower than Norwegian taxes on electric cars? US gasoline is insanely cheap.
Norwegian evs have to pay 25% sales tax over $50k and they’re also taxed based on weight.

Come to think of it, the US is in the same economic situation as Norway, as an extremely wealthy oil exporter. Any western country jealous of Norway could match it if they just had the political will.

Trump: “[Putin has said] we have to get that war over with. That’s a bloody mess.”
Putin has 1000% the ability to end the war today. Stop appeasing a war criminal you fucking moron.
he did actually, Instagram comments said it was a 757
Russia kept Ukraine out of the EU without any soldiers, and civilians were being murdered in the Donbass in 2014 without any formal invasion.
The history of Russia’s attempts to influence and annex Ukraine started decades before the current invasion.
Nope, the podcast thing was just a cover story, trump was tweeting the whole time that “his agents” were in greenland
I don’t think it’s as simple as the sentiment of the general population.
Most Donbass residents didn’t want to be part of Russia, and now those who resisted are lying in mass graves.
fascist imperialistic tendencies
I think a lot of Europeans are concerned that Trump will take a page out of Putin’s book and use coercive tactics to annex Greenland.
The narrative they’re making now is that Greenlanders want to be part of the US and that Denmark is lying about greenland’s wishes. Money for votes is one tactic, and other options are possible too, like influencing the upcoming election, manipulating the news cycles, border skirmishes with DK/EU/NATO, and little green men. All tactics that Putin knows well, and are likely spreading to the US as its domestic oligarchy and ties to Russia grows.
Yeah, I’ve never talked to any greenlanders, either, but It was strange when my American friends were talking about “Greenland announcing their independence” when it hadn’t been reported in DN or Omni at all.
All the English articles about the new years’ speech seemed very imperialistic and all of the recent events cited were covered in a very different tone in Swedish and Danish news. Once you read the actual new year’s speech I think you get a much better understanding of the Greenlandic position separate from all the imperialistic ambitions of Trump and whatever pro-Trump AP/Reuters journalist wrote the article.
Greenlanders are saying in the news now that Americans are misunderstanding the new year’s speech but now apparently Trump’s dynasty is calling it fake news and insisting that Greenlanders want to give them their natural resources. https://www.rawstory.com/donald-trump-jr-leaves-greenland/
Anyways, it would be an interesting place to visit sometime!
So the president of the greenlandic parliament made a focus of his new year’s speech to talk about increased autonomy from historical danish colonialism and continuing the past 8 years of work on a new constitution. These topics are pretty important for his reelection campaign this year. However, apparently AP or Reuters picked up on the story and now there’s 100s of imperialistic articles online talking about “Greenland makes sudden shift towards independence after Trump discussions” and “Nuuk is closer to New York than Copenhagen”.
Now Trump Jr went to Greenland and Trump is threatening to use military force to take Greenland, and all the Greenlandic politicians are freaking out that the Americans are about to take away their sovereignty.

Holding westerners hostage. The more they support Ukraine, the more terrorism westerners face. If they stop supporting Ukraine, the implication is that Russian terrorism would stop.
