@bolshierowbot.bsky.social, @klausdodds.bsky.social,

As the Arctic warms up, the race to control the region is growing ever hotter Competition between the US, Russia and China is shutting out regional statkeholders and ignoring the interests of Indigenous people.

An embroidery hoop rests on a pale neutral work surface. In the hoop is a Shetland navigation chart screen-printed faintly onto undyed calico fabric then painted a bit and sewn a lot mostly with running stitch in shades of blue and white over the sea and back stitch in brown on the coastline of Shetland which is fiddly and wiggly.

In the pre Christmas corset madness it looks like I forgot to post pics of this when I finished it. #Shetland navigation chart #screenprinting on calico fabric then painted a bit and sewn a lot. The coastline of Shetland was particularly tiresome, but worth it in the end!

The U.S. controls whether Venezuelan barrels can legally reach major buyers and also where sale proceeds are held and how they are disbursed. Qatar is going to be a clearing house.

And thank you.

The World This Weekend - The Arctic: a fight for the top of the world - BBC Sounds Denmark and the US to meet this week to discuss Greenland. What's driving President Trump?

V good: Jonny Dymond with #US’ first Ambassador at large for #Arctic Affairs Michael Sfraga, with a plan for investment in #Greenland *not* takeover; @klausdodds.bsky.social Prof of Geopolitics, on Arctic interests+actions of US, Russia+China; Daniel Yergin on politics+trade+Denmark’s Louise Elholm.

Trump is playing geopolitical Monopoly with Greenland While the term du jour is geopolitics, perhaps the most plausible reason for why Trump is gunning for Greenland is ego-politics.

Why Greenland is indispensable to global climate science With no Antarctica-style treaty to protect Greenland, a US takeover could mean scientists lose access.

A little reminder, in light of talk about ‘security’, Greenland holds acces to both the scientific knowledge and resources that can help guide us all away from climate disaster.….

At a time when ALL nations should be collaborating in order to secure a safe & sustainable future, do we REALLY want a world shaped by bullying superpowers willing to add ’geopolitical fuel’ to a warming Arctic? Great piece from @klausdodds.bsky.social

I will keep you posted. Today Greenland, tomorrow…….

Something I reported on last year was how geopolitical aggression (and funding cuts) harms vital science efforts.

“It makes science diplomacy virtually impossible,” @klausdodds.bsky.social told me.

How is 🇬🇧 challenging 🇷🇺 aggression in the Wider North?

Making America hemispheric again – Trump's quest for Greenland Why does President Trump want Greenland? Klaus Dodds argues his ambitions are for nothing short of western hemispheric dominance.

Why does Trump want #Greenland?

@klausdodds.bsky.social writes that while Trump has emphasised US national security, his ambitions are for nothing short of western hemispheric dominance @lseeuroppblog.bsky.social.

Donald Trump's attempts to acquire Greenland are blunt force geopolitics in action.

His ambition is for nothing short of western hemispheric dominance.
