Russia-Ukraine War (continuing)

Thanks. I'll edit my post. Stupid AI making people lazy.

Check. For once, the EU and others have acted fairly swiftly and decisively.

Soldiers from European countries are already arriving in Greenland. The first to land there were soldiers from France, who arrived just about seven hours after the heads of diplomacy of Denmark and Greenland held unsuccessful negotiations with the United States in Washington.
Soldiers from Denmark and France were the first to arrive in Nuuk at night, and soldiers from other NATO countries are expected to follow them on Thursday, reports the German newspaper Bild.

"When the soldiers arrived at the Arctic Command Center of the Danish Armed Forces near Nuuk, we found out that soldiers from France were also on board," wrote Bild, which notes that, according to Greenlandic media, a second Danish Hercules plane also landed at the Danish base in Kangerlussuaq at almost the same time that night.

"The first French military elements are already on the way. Others will follow," Macron said on Wednesday on X.

Both aircraft flew to Greenland with identification and tracking systems disabled, the German newspaper pointed out. According to him, other small groups of soldiers from NATO countries are expected to follow soon.

The German Defense Ministry said it would deploy a "reconnaissance team" of 13 people to Nuuk, Greenland, at the invitation of Denmark.

"The first 13 soldiers of the German reconnaissance team should also arrive on Thursday. In addition, it appears that soldiers from the Netherlands, Canada, Sweden, Great Britain and Norway are on their way to Greenland," the newspaper noted… According to him, the action had been planned in secret for a long time, so there was no immediate reaction to the outcome of the negotiations in Washington.

I'm calling it NATO-lite.

Agreed but why move them in in 2s and 3s? Im seeing mocking headlines of "Norway deploys 2 soldiers to Greenland" and the like all over the place today, should have just said feck it and launched a full operation.

From My understanding they're quite high ranking so probably aimed at liasing with other NATO colleagues and deciding where to place assets if they need to ship them in. As seen in Venezuela, the US can take weeks to put the chess pieces in place. Plenty of time for the EU to get their gear in place once the logistics are decided.

If Trump knew Greenland was so tiny would he still want it. He keeps saying how huge it is. Turns out Russia is tiny too.😅

America is not a real country?

A school bus bringing children to a military registration office in Russia was prevented from doing so by being in a motor accident with a woman driving a toyota yaris. The woman didn't survive the crash.

Trump has just claimed Narendra Modi has promised India will not be buying oil from Russia. I wonder is that true.

Greenland 🇬🇱 is more further north, south, east and west than Iceland 🇮🇸

"Poland faced the worst attack on its energy infrastructure, the purpose of which was to cut off the electricity supply to citizens at the end of December. We are facing sabotage by Russia. Digital tanks are already here. We were close to being cut off the electricity supply," Minister Gawkowski stressed.

Hybrid my arse. Every fibre cable from Europe to Belarus or Orcistan should have been cut years ago.

18-year-old Adam Kadyrov lost control of the car that was driving at high speed in the motorcade, opposition Chechen media reported.

Oh dear,I feel like I should be concerned…or something.

Things are grim in Ukraine now even if the media are more interested in the Greenland soap opera:

The Mexicans should reclaim Texas and New Mexico. With winter now set in, it's targeting energy and oil infrastructure would seem to be the main battle frontlines.
