When we say America is no longer a reliable ally, it goes considerably deeper than Donald Trump himself. This kind of complacent, condescending shit is a *huge* part of it.
Sweden’s Prime Minister, in a new statement on Greenland:
“We will not let ourselves be blackmailed… Sweden is now having intensive discussions with other EU countries, Norway, and the United Kingdom for a coordinated response.”

Before I get into it, I’ll preface that these numbers look reasonable, especially for how immature DEFIANT’s detailed design definitely is.

J'aurais kiffé être à la réunion brainstorming chez les peintures Farrow & Ball quand ils ont choisi le nom de couleur "dead salmon"(!?) et qu'ils se sont dits que ça allait être vendeur

It'd go against decades of thinking on addressing the threat as far out as possible. It'd mean "we COULD tackle it way out there, but no, we'd purposely let it get REALLY CLOSE". French did this in Red Sea it seems.

Speaking as someone who just wrote a book on the Manhattan Project, I can assure you that refugee immigrants were the *entire* reason the US mastered the atom first. The most chilling part of writing my book was reading about them fleeing fascism … abroad. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/fleeing-on...
