Okay, I’ve opened WordPress at the post page determined to write something. My last post was on New Year’s Day and that’s long gone. Well, to be accurate seventeen days gone, but with the speed of events taking place in the world today, New Year is ancient history.
I suppose if we ignore Ukraine, side-step Iran and place Gaza in the ‘For Later’, tray (with a goodly selection of other wartorn nations), then Greenland is probably the dire emergency of the moment. President Macron of France certainly seems to think so and has moved a number of French military personnel to the island to join up with members from other NATO countries already stationed there, or on their way.
In an interview given by M. Jean-Noël Barrot, French Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs, to RTL on January 14th, he was asked:
“Q. – On Greenland, a meeting is being held in Washington shortly which looks set to be tense. (…) Trump, in fact, is taking the Putin approach: “I want, I get”. He’s threatening to do to Greenland the same thing Putin did to Ukraine, isn’t he?
THE MINISTER – In any case, Greenland isn’t for sale, because the Prime Minister of Greenland said so very forcefully, very clearly and very calmly yesterday evening. Greenland doesn’t want to be owned or governed or incorporated by the United States. Greenland has chosen Denmark, chosen NATO and chosen the European Union.
Q. – Donald Trump’s response: I’ll take it one way or another.
THE MINISTER – If it’s about taking it other than by buying Greenland, it obviously seems extraordinary, because for a member of NATO – the security alliance that has brought together North America and Europe for nearly 80 years – to attack another NATO member wouldn’t make any sense, it would be contrary even to the United States’ interests. And I’m hearing more and more voices in the United States saying that. And so this blackmail obviously has to stop. “
The blackmail has to stop. Easy to say, less easy to achieve.
The American President is drunk on power. He’s also a bully and a narcissist. It’s not a great combination. He has surrounded himself with yes-men. It would not be surprising to wake up one morning and learn that a battalion of US marines has landed on the island and taken control, probably resulting in a few dead Greenlanders, as happened in Venezuela recently.
One can only surmise how a small contingent of French and other European soldiers would react in that situation? Would they make a stand? Would US troops fire on NATO allies? Or would the NATO troops just stand there and look foolish while the Americans took over the island?
Perhaps the one hope is that sufficient Republicans in Congress would be so appalled by the situation they would side with the Democrats in swiftly bringing the debacle to a close. Perhaps.
I’m not a betting man, but if I were I would give this one a miss.
Consider me cracked but I view the Fat Felon as a Russian agent. he no longer wishes to be part of NATO and is in collusion with Putin on Ukraine. Did you see a recent post about false information leaked to the US by Ukraine which was subsequently used by Putin, confirming Zelenskyy’s suspicions?
An old Twitter post has a leak by Congress that an old agreement (2019) by the Felon and Putin talked of Felon invading Venezuela first and then Putin would completely take over Ukraine on his way to conquering Europe. The carving up of the planet.
In the realm of all this corruption, utterly believable. And in the midst of all of this lurk the Epstein Files which has the names of all the billionaire pedophiles.

WWW ~ one thing I could never do is consider you cracked. It’s unlikely Trump is a de facto Russian agent but he certainly acts as one at times. He likes the ‘Old Pal’ idea with Putin and of a consequence opens his mouth too wide when communicating with the Russian assassin. Given the number of US top secret plans that have been happily displayed to family and friends on WhatsApp and similar apps, by supposedly high-ranking officials, I’d not be surprised if Putin is informed each time Trump uses the toilet.
Oh there can be no doubt that there are many household names waiting to be revealed in the Epstein files. Whether they ever will be, of course, is another question.
