“Declaring war to promote pirate copies is what it is”
That’s how I interpreted it too

China has imprisoned Gui Minhai, they were not so happy when the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to a Chinese, they were not particularly happy when Taiwan opened an office in Lithuania, etc. The admiration for China that is spreading actually makes me a little worried. I agree that the USA are not our best friends right now, but to list them as our enemies while China is not?
 
Right now, the USA is good at pointing out Europe’s faults and shortcomings, it hurts but I don’t think it will divide us, I also don’t think it’s the intention even though Trump claims that the EU was formed so that Europe could take advantage of the USA. Demanding that we allocate 5% of GDP to defense is also not something that will divide Europe. However, if Trump’s plan is to push certain countries into the arms of the communist dictatorship of China and this will lead to division within Europe because other countries believe that democracy and freedom are more important, well, then he will probably succeed.
 
A lot of what Trump and Co say about the USA is what they themselves are working on domestically, which makes me suspect that some statements about Europe are more directed at the domestic audience than at Europe. See, for example, immigration and deportations.

There you go!

And just like that, it was already 2023.

China is hardly threatening Greenland militarily, however, there is a risk of falling into a debt trap and of surveillance being built up under the guise of civilian activities.

The market is large, most air forces in South America still operate with propeller planes. The UK halted the sale of Gripen to Argentina as they are still bitter over the Falkland Islands.

They could also increase NATO’s presence there. Quite simple actually. But it costs a bit, of course.

We might as well start by stopping their takeover of Greenland. However, don’t they need to have Greenland before they can leave NATO?

Trumps bombastic statement probably appeals to his core supporters while the rest of the world wonders if such behavior shouldn’t earn him a one-way ticket to a residential care home.
A normal behavior would be to invite Mette to the White House and make it clear to her in private that the Chinese should stay away from Greenland.

To ‘win,’ Russia must seize more Ukrainian territory than it currently occupies. To seize more territory, it must be able to advance in ways that enable breakthroughs that drive Ukrainian forces back. To accomplish that, Russia must have fast moving, mechanized mobile units.

And therein lies Russia’s problem: that mechanized mobility no longer exists. It has been squandered in multiple, heedless assaults across a variety of sectors in response to Kremlin demands for ‘victories’ by unachievable deadlines. The implication is that without those tanks, fighting vehicles, trucks and mobile artillery, Russia has been unable to advance in any meaningful, strategic manner for months, if not a year. And it shows no sign of being able to do so anytime soon

Russians on donkeys, motorcycles, and golf carts are hardly a spearhead in a blitzkrieg. It is possible that they can break through somewhere, but they must also be able to hold the flanks.
