Off-Topic / 75 Years of Israel and the War - part 3 [462]

The ICC isn't what it once was, neither is the UN....probably the polish (and the german) govs take that into account!

News / Will Poland help defend Greenland against US Imperialism [333]

Those are quotes from your article that you didn't include:

I mentioned greenlandic possible stupidity though....

Not selling your assets AND wanting independence from your lone supporter, who secures your survival, is not a viable political opinion with any future!

They need to have a master who pays for them....and/or re-start selling their ressources to pay for themselves, there is no other way, hence my dismissal.

News / Will Poland help defend Greenland against US Imperialism [333]

The article points it out....since Greenland stopped extraction and selling of it's natural oil and gas reserves it nearly fully (to 95%) relies on support from Denmark to survive.

...This has kept Greenland's economy reliant on fishing, which accounts for over 95% of exports, and annual subsidies from Denmark, which cover roughly half of the public budget. In total, Denmark spends just under $1 billion each year on Greenland, or $17,500 for each of its 57,000 residents.....

But then that:

....In 2009, the island was granted broad self-governing autonomy, including the right to declare independence from Denmark through a referendum....

So yeah....either the Greenlanders are that stupid or they are that short sighted....they have to have a "master"....if they no longer want Denmark, they will have to chose someone else....they can't survive on their own like this.

....A majority of Greenland's inhabitants support independence, but they are divided over the timing and potential impact on living standards.

Greenlandic politicians have since 2019 repeatedly said they are interested in strengthening cooperation and trade with the United States.....


I really don't see an USian invasion as in "hostile territory"....that just won't be necessary!

PS:

....Decades ago, the U.S. under then-President Harry Truman sought to buy the island as a strategic asset during the Cold War for $100 million in gold, but Copenhagen declined to sell.....

Back then the Greenlanders themselves had no say innit, still being a full danish colony, that might be different this time....

Yeah, a head of superpower willing to attack a peaceful allied country, what a relief...

An interesting article about the backstory of that:

reuters.com/world/why-does-trump-want-greenland-could-he-get-it-2025-01-08/

The thing seems to be that the few thousand Greenlanders want to become independent from Danmark, but without all that danish support they will need someone else to pay for them...they might want to join the US peacefully!

....While Greenlanders want independence, they are well aware of their economic reliance on Denmark. One option could be to form a so-called "free association" with the United States that would replace Danish subsidies with U.S. support and protection in return for military rights, similar to the status of Pacific island nations Marshall Islands, Micronesia and Palau.....

.... When asked about Trump's renewed interest this week, Frederiksen said: "We need very close cooperation with the Americans."
She added: "On the other hand, I would like to encourage everyone to respect that the Greenlanders are a people, it is their country, and only Greenland can determine and define Greenland's future."....


I don't see US troops invading Greenland....but alone the strategic position and the undoubtful rich natural resources, some of them very rare, make Greenland a valuable morsel....I personally see Trump just having set a big heap to show the interest of the US....nothing more, nothing less.

Definitely! Did they?

Trump has become two-times-president in big parts not despite but, IMHO, because of his loud personality....so, better get used to it and no worked up, moral panic everytime he utters something....or that will be long four years, very long!

Not to mention that alot of things the talks make alot sense....and should he really be able to end the war in Ukraine, well. That would be "a big finger" to all the smart, polite talking, academic **** who can only dream of stuff like this!

Attacking Greenland would be evil.

He is a loudmouth....don't expect him to!

No, it's called turning a blind eye.

A blind eye to what?

Maybe you would have a point if the political elite starts punishing other opinions and threatening/jailing the opposition, if people start to flee the country....till then!

I would say he ist just....umm...."frech"?

And why not? He has everything achieved one human possible can, and more, in one life time. He bows to nobody!

Compared to our usual common "Sesselfurzer", that man is admirable....heh:)

....or maybe there was just no other possible candidate to find in the whole party? The early election is already in a few weeks....maybe they truly lack the alternatives? Who knows...

....Germans wonder, because he talks and sounds exactly like this....as if that would be a possibility.

On the other hand are most Germans puzzled why the SPD decided to run again with Scholz as main candidate, even as all polls just show abject distaste and dislike for him. He is truly not popular....so....who knows what the SPDians are thinking! *shrugs*

are we talking about a potential Merz candidacy??

....and talking big!

Frankly I can't (or won't) think about the machinations and backdoor-deals necessary to bring Scholz truly back as chancellor....he seems to believe in them, though!

I mean what is a man interested in politics with so much ambition AND money to do?

I've heard he can't follow Trump since he isn't a born USian....but....

Off-Topic / 75 Years of Israel and the War - part 3 [462]

There is one sided story here

What other side should there be? The side of the "poor" kidnapper? The torturer? The rapist?

What is here delusional? That I don't want to hear their story? Yes, then I am!

...Isolation and sleep deprivation, sexual violence and operations without anesthesia: a report from the Israeli Minister of Health to the UN Special Reporter describes the cruelty Hamas inflicted on its hostages - and worries about their lives afterwards....

welt.de/politik/ausland/article254988242/Bericht-an-UN-Das-Leid-der-Geiseln-der-Hamas-Jenseits-jeder-Vorstellungskraft.html?source=puerto-reco-2_ABC-V43.1.C_new_interest_model

...The report is based on the findings of doctors who treated more than 100 hostages who were either released or freed. They included men, women and children. Almost all of them were subjected to some form of physical, psychological and sexual violence. Typical methods of breaking the willpower of the abductees include solitary confinement, starvation, sleep deprivation, violence, threats and failure to treat injuries and chronic illnesses....

😡 Burn Gaza!

.....just saying that the new findings show that there never has been only one human race! There had been several more, they don't even know all of them yet!

(Especially fascinating that several of them lived at times together...aliens to each other actually! :)
