RE: mastodon.scot/@LaChasseuse/115…
This video from Zac Polanski (Green Party of England & Wales) is powerful & should (hopefully) encourage people to see the GPEW (and the Scottish Greens) as the future....
watch this, watch Mark Carney at Davos, and know that the rupture means political power is there for the taking - no wonder Labour are slagging off the Greens, Polanski is saying what so many wanted Labour to say!
Quite a phenomenal campaign ad from the Greens down in England. Strong. I firmly believe that any political party not running this same message will fail.

UK’s influence contributed to Trump’s Greenland U-turn, Cooper suggests – UK politics live | Politics - EUROPE SAYS
The UK government borrowed less than expected in December, official figures show, after stronger receipts than a year earlier, Tom Knowles reports.EUROPE SAYS
"The President won’t rule out military action against #NATO allies because he didn’t get a peace prize.
👉 Because he didn’t get a *peace* prize. Peace. Prize.👈
... We are watching in real-time as the post-World War II international order that the #UnitedStates built and led for 80 years crumbles because one man’s ego couldn’t handle not getting an award."

Everyone Knows Our Mad King’s Greenland Obsession Is Insane. Why Won’t Congress Stop It?

"But here’s what’s actually happening: basically everyone in a position to do something about this is pretending everything is fine.
The normalization machine is working overtime.
... A decade ago, as a political rival, Ted Cruz once warned that we’d wake up one day to find a President Trump had nuked #Denmark. And yet now he’s actively supporting Trump’s lunacy."

"Second: He’s openly admitting his #Greenland obsession has nothing to do with national #security.
... #Trump, in his own words, saying the quiet part extremely loud: the real reason is that his feelings got hurt over a prize...
Third: “There are no written documents” is weapons-grade historical illiteracy.
...There are, in fact, extensive written documents, including treaties that the #UnitedStates itself has signed"

"I want to focus on a few layers of #insanity here, because they compound on each other in ways that should be making every American deeply uncomfortable.
First: #Trump is yelling at the wrong country about the wrong thing.
The #NobelPeacePrize is not awarded by the Norwegian government. It is awarded by an independent five-member committee chosen by Norway’s parliament...
Also, #Greenland is a territory of #Denmark. Denmark, notably, is not #Norway."

"Let me be absolutely clear about what you just read: The President of the #UnitedStates is explicitly stating that because he didn’t receive an award he wanted, he “no longer feel[s] an obligation to think purely of Peace” and is therefore justified in threatening to forcibly take territory from a #NATO ally.
This is the stated reasoning. From the President. In writing. To a foreign head of state."

Everyone Knows Our Mad King’s Greenland Obsession Is Insane. Why Won’t Congress Stop It?

...
Trump sent a text message to Norway’s Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre... And I genuinely need you to read this, because summarizing it doesn’t do justice to how absolutely deranged it is:
Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a ‘right of ownership’ anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT
