Greenland’s capital, Nuuk, today: a major protest against the sale/occupation of the island by the United States.

Several thousand people gathered in Nuuk (which has a total population of ~20,000), marching through the city center to the U.S. consulate. This means the rally involved no less than at least 10% of the capital’s population, making it one of the largest demonstrations in the island’s history.

@WarMonitor3: Trump is sick in the head trying to force Denmark 🇩🇰 to give up Greenland 🇬🇱

Greenland does not want to be part of America, it gets educational expenses, healthcare expenses, and tons of other benefits from Denmark, and doesn’t want to be bribed by Trump

RT @ariel_oseran: U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) says it eliminated in a Friday airstrike in northwest Syria a leader affiliated with Al-Qaeda, Bilal Hasan al-Jasim, who was directly connected with the ISIS gunman who killed and injured U.S. and Syrian personnel last month in Palmyra, Syria.

CENTCOM added that in the large-scale strikes it launched in Syria in response to the Dec. 13 attack, more than 100 ISIS infrastructure and weapons site targets were struck, adding that over 300 ISIS operatives were captured and over 20 were killed across Syria during the past year.

Cold winter is not the best time to swim across icy rivers in full combat gear.

Watching this, it’s hard not to wonder whether this Russian infantryman would have survived such a swim in an icy river on no man’s land even without the FPV drone.

RT @SlawomirDebski: “NATO is dead” is a catchy and familiar obituary - and a premature one.

The Alliance has already survived crises far deeper than today’s. It survived the Suez Crisis of 1956, when the United States used harsh political and financial pressure against its own British and French allies - threatening currency intervention, cutting financial support, and forcing London and Paris to withdraw. No shots were fired, but the shock to allied cohesion was profound. NATO endured.

It also survived France’s withdrawal from NATO’s integrated military command in 1966. Again, the Alliance adapted rather than collapsed.

Yes, we are facing a serious political crisis today. And yes- parts of the Trump administration’s policy are simply idiotic. Imposing tariffs on an ally for deploying a small number of troops on its own territory is a level of strategic absurdity that even Putin never quite reached. But incompetence is not the same as strategic death.

Russia, meanwhile, cannot exploit this turmoil. It has trapped itself in a senseless war against Ukraine that is draining its military, economic, and political strength. Whatever gift Western disarray might have offered, Moscow lacks the capacity to cash it in.

Most importantly, the United States cannot simply walk away from NATO. Congress will not allow it. Domestic checks, alliance commitments, and institutional inertia matter more than presidential theatrics.

NATO will die only if it fails to defend its own territory. For now, nothing threatens that core function. That is the paradox: the rhetoric is apocalyptic, the politics are ugly - but the Alliance still stands. For now.
