NATO infighting? You love to see it, folks.
The latest incident of America’s satrapies becoming increasingly unhappy about their mandated kowtowing involves, of all places, Greenland. As I’m sure most people here are aware, Greenland is an autonomous territory of Denmark with a degree of geopolitical and economic importance - the former due to its proximity to Russia, and the latter due to the proven and potential reserves of minerals that could be mined there. It’s also been an odd fascination of Trump during his reign, now culminating in outright demands.
Trump has called for negotiations with Denmark to purchase Greenland, justifying this by stating that it would be safer from Russia and China under America’s protection. Apparently, Norway’s decision to not give him the Nobel Peace Prize further inflamed him (not that the Norweigan government decides who receives the prizes). He has also said that countries that do not allow him to make the decision - which not only includes Denmark, but also other European countries - will suffer increased tariffs by June, and that he has not ruled out a military solution.
This threat has led to much internal bickering inside the West, with European leaders stating they will not give in to Trump’s demands, and even sending small numbers of troops to Greenland. The most bizarre part of this whole affair is that the US already basically has total military access and control over Greenland anyway, and has since the 1950s, when they signed an agreement with Denmark. There are already several US military facilities on Greenland, and B-52 bombers have famously flown in the vicinity of the island (and crashed into it with nuclear bombs in tow, in fact). Therefore, this whole event - in line with his all-performance, little-results presidency so far - seems to be largely about the theatrics of forcing the Europeans to continue to submit to his whims. I would not be surprised if they ultimately do sign a very imbalanced deal, though - the current European leadership is bound too tightly to the US to put up even half-hearted resistance.
This is all simultaneously occurring alongside the Canadian Prime Minister’s visit to China in which longstanding sore spots in their bilateral relationship are being addressed, with China reducing tariffs on Canadian canola oilseeds, and Canada reducing tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, as well as currency swaps between their central banks, among many other things. It seems no accident that Canada’s reconsideration of their relationship with China is occurring as Trump has made remarks about turning Canada into the next US state, as well as the demand for the renegotiation of the USMCA.

Russia-Ukraine Conflict
Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists
Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict
Sources:
Defense Politics Asia’s youtube channel and their map. Their youtube channel has substantially diminished in quality but the map is still useful.
Moon of Alabama, which tends to have interesting analysis. Avoid the comment section.
Understanding War and the Saker: reactionary sources that have occasional insights on the war.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict. While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are relatively brainworm-free and good if you don’t want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. He also co-hosts The Duran, which is more explicitly conservative, racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-communist, etc when guests are invited on, but is just about tolerable when it’s just the two of them if you want a little more analysis.
Simplicius, who publishes on Substack. Like others, his political analysis should be soundly ignored, but his knowledge of weaponry and military strategy is generally quite good.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent and very good journalist reporting in the warzone on the separatists’ side.
Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.

With regards to the ICE/DHS/CBP Minneapolis shooting/killing of Alex Pretti. Senior individuals involved in those agencies are moaning to Fox News, about the DHS and Trump administration posting and spreading blatant fake news about the incident, making up stuff about Pretti being a terrorist. So cracks are starting to show even among Trump’s enforcers here.
However that’s not why this is interesting. The following, if you know anything about guns and the history of the SIG P320 (the gun Pretti had in his possession before being disarmed, and then shot and killed while being unarmed), is quite interesting if coming from ICE/DHS/CBP:
These sources all believe this is going to end up being what they call a “bad shoot”, a “shitty” situation that happened in seconds where agents likely heard “gun!”, then the disarmed firearm may have had an accidental discharge that spooked the agents, and they shot. The agents do not have the luxury of multiple slow motion angles - and had to make split second decisions.
The SIG P320 is the gun that’s infamous for shooting by itself without the trigger being pulled, uncommanded/accidental/negligent discharge. So if the above is accurate, either ICE/DHS/CBP is going to use the tarnished reputation of the SIG P320 as an excuse for their agents killing Pretti, or the SIG P320 actually fired by itself while Pretti was being disarmed. If the SIG P320 actually did “fire by itself” during the disarmament, I don’t even know what to say… Surely that would completely ruin whatever reputation SIG has left.
US military buildup against Iran update:
Poor weather and a cold front across large parts of the continental US have slowed down the military buildup, with multiple C-17 Globemaster III transport aircraft being unable to get to Fort Hood to pick up what is likely components of US Army air defence systems due to poor weather. Those that did manage to get to Fort Hood earlier have mostly ended up at Ali Al Salem Air Base, Kuwait, where the equipment they transported will likely be distributed across the Middle East by expeditionary forces. The movement of tactical fighter aircraft from the continental US to the Middle East has also been postponed (likely due to poor weather), with 4x KC-46 Pegasus mid air refueling aircraft with GOLD callsigns (instead of the usual REACH/RCH) pre positioned at Homestead Air Reserve Base, Florida, ready to drag tactical fighter aircraft across the Atlantic ocean with them, 12-16x tactical fighters (F-15/F-16/F-35/F-22, unknown what type yet) will likely make the trip soon, once the weather improves at their home bases.
On movements that did occur, an EA-37B Compass Call standoff electronic warfare aircraft flew from the continental USA to Ramstein Air Base, Germany. The EA-37B is the replacement for the EC-130H Compass Call and performs the same mission. The EC-130H has been previously used in US airstikes on Iran and Venezuela last year and this year. It’s not known at this time if the EA-37B will continue further to the Middle East, or if an EC-130H will be sent instead at a later date. A C-5M Super Galaxy heavy strategic airlift transport aircraft made an appearance at Prince Sultan Air Base, Saudi Arabia. The C-5 originated from Dover Air Force Base in the USA, and is doing what appears to be round trips between Scotland and Saudi Arabia. Unlikely to be related to air defence deployments.
Even the lines are getting turned into datacenters (ft.com: ‘Saudi Arabia to scale back Neom megaproject’)

For the end of the week, here is one of the best anti-US-Greenland-occupation posts of the week;
In an exclusive interview for #AlMayadeen, Masha’Allah Shams al-Wa’izin, the head of the Iranian Journalists’ Association and member of the Government Media Council, discussed unconfirmed reports suggesting that the #UnitedStates may consider limited strikes on Iranian sites.
He emphasized that, according to these reports, #Iran would view even a limited strike as a comprehensive conflict, raising the cost of confrontation and signaling its readiness to respond firmly.
Shams al-Wa’izin also described the US military buildup as part of psychological warfare, still highlighting the serious implications of any potential action.
hey newsheads, why is ICE fuckin around in ME now and not idk CA or OR?
Another angle of the recent ICE execution in Minneapolis shows one of the agents clapping. You don’t see the victim or what they’re shooting at but still NSFW.
I don’t think this was seen from the other two publicly available recordings as they were taken from vertical vantage points relative to the scene, whereas this video was shot from a horizontal POV just a few metres down the street.
We already know that ICE agents are fully on board ideologically with the fascist state’s subjugation and terrorizing of the masses, but I think this event will completely dispel the notion for the vast majority of Americans that these people are “just following orders” or that they were forced to do it because they’re poor or some military vet with ‘PTSD’ who could only find honest work with the American Gestapo (cough Graham Platner cough).
Make no mistake, these people enjoy doing this, they are your class enemy, and don’t let any lib tell you otherwise.
In a statement by the new Abu Obeida (
), Hamas announces the following:“We have dealt with the file of captives and bodies with complete transparency, and we have fulfilled everything required of us based on the ceasefire agreement. We handed over all the living and the bodies we had as quickly as possible without any delay, despite the lack of commitment from the occupation and the dozens of violations and massacres it committed.
We are very keen to close this file completely and are not interested in procrastinating, in consideration of the interest of our people. We have worked under complex and almost impossible conditions to extract and hand over all the bodies of the enemy prisoners with the knowledge of the mediators, whom we call upon to fulfill their responsibilities and compel the occupation to implement what was agreed upon.
Regarding the body of the soldier “Ran Gvili”; we confirm that we have informed the mediators of all the details and information we have regarding the location of the captive’s body. What confirms the truth of what we say is that the enemy is now searching in one of the locations based on information provided by Al-Qassam Brigades to the mediators.”
