This is part of a major concern. The hijacking of Christianity by the current right and using it as a form of control and division. They really are using it as a crusade and a few years ago, I thought that was a joke.

He is a great writer, one of my favourites along with Gogol and indeed, Chekhov.

"Violence finds its only refuge in falsehood, falsehood its only support in violence... Any man who has once acclaimed violence as his method must inexorably choose falsehood as his principle."
— Alexander Solzhenitsyn
Jesus.
I can guess what federal prosecutors will see — nothing at all — but what I see is six armed men grabbing an unarmed man, wrestling him to the ground, beating him, and then shooting him multiple times AFTER he'd stopped resisting.
Has he apologised?

"The President is a writhing mass of impulses and political urges.... On Greenland, sage commentators talk of Arctic security, of critical minerals. It is all nonsense. Trump wants it because Trump wants it, and he sees no good reason why he should not have it."
And...
Maybe Greenland could invade us instead?

Effective immediately, any Country doing business with the Islamic Republic of Iran will pay a Tariff of 25% on any and all business being done with the United States of America. This Order is final and conclusive. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
The USA does trade with Iran.
"U.S. goods and services trade with Iran totaled an estimated $838.4 million in 2024, up 3.4 percent ($27.2 million) from 2023." (US gov trade)
Is he going to slap a tariff on himself?
Greenland PM Jens-Frederik Nielsen:
"If we have to choose between the US & Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark. We choose NATO. We choose the Kingdom of Denmark. We choose the EU."
"Greenland does not want to be owned by the US. Greenland does not want to be governed by the US" he later added.

What would Greenlanders want?
The latest available opinion poll: 85 % says "No" to the question "Do you want Greenland to exit the Danish Kingdom and instead become part of United States?"
The poll (www.veriangroup.com/da/news-and-...) also show that a small majority supports independence from DK
Possibly the start of civil unrest?
