Do we live in a world where Western democracies dominate and shape the narrative or do we live in a multipolar world defined by spheres of influence is the question here. The Chinese and Russians want the latter, Europe and until recently the USA wanted the former.

The consequence of choosing the latter is condemning vast swathes of the planet to life in servitude to oppressive dictatorships.

Brics consist of,
Brazil, Russia, India, China, S Africa , mainly and many more intrested.

An alternative to, My way or the highway, a la, I want Greenland, the hard way or the easy way.

you would think at this point the right admit MAYBE just MAYBE there is something wrong with a guy threatening war over not winning a PEACE prize.

Or perhaps the committee who can award the prize to someone who just took office and hadn't done anything for peace (Barack Hussain Obama) could have repeated this to prevent millions of deaths. Their hatred of Trump and America has brought this retribution upon themselves and the world.

BRICS is a very divided forum including China v India, Iran v Saudia Arabia for instance. But Trump is doing the USA no favors by undermining America's most crucial alliance with Europe. Meanwhile Putin and Xi Jinping are overjoyed at the tension between the only two blocs that can actually hold their ambitions in check.

For a fish to be approved as kosher it must have both scales and fins.

Ambition is the fins, driving force, scales protect with integrity, combined they are good, very good.

I say no more but leave it up to you to work it out.

You are forgetting that Trumps stated aim is to break up and destroy Europe as a block. He sees this as crucial to Putin's national security, sorry I mean the USAs national security.

I want to stress the importance of this.

This was not a post on Truthsocial or X. This was not at a rally to please his crowd.
This is an official communication not from a lower ranked official (!), but from the head of the state (the president) to the head of another government ( the Prime Minister) on official paper, with the seal and the stamp of the American government.
This has been forwarded by the full administration and has been sent to other diplomatic agencies of other countries too.
In a context where every word matters, your president is sending messages riddled with lies, falsehoods and childishness to another country and is threatening it with war.
Let that sink in. And show me now any reaction from elected members of the Republican Party.
Show me any action that Congress has taken to limit the damage.

Now, I have good news and bad news for you. The good news is that the United States isn't a banana republic. The bad news; it is now a breeding ground for fruit flies.

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

I think that the fact he adresses it to the president of Norway, while the Nobel peace prize is rewarded in sweden, is just the cherry on top.

Actually the peace prize is awarded in Oslo. I think it was because Norway and Sweden was in a union when Nobel's will was written.

The American people voted for this in overwhelming numbers. It's what is best for America.

President Trump is a genius and knows full well about the Kingdom of Norway and Sweden.

Vance and crew see his delustions first hand....every day. They and their Republican cowards in Congress, know exactly what they are enabling.

Anne Applebaum writes:

"....Donald Trump now genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him. Also, he really is maniacally, unhealthily obsessive about the Nobel Prize. The Norwegian Nobel Committee, not the Norwegian government and certainly not the Danish government, determines the winner of that prize. Yet Trump now not only blames Norway for failing to give it to him, but is using it as a justification for an invasion of Greenland."

Trump’s Letter to Norway Should Be the Last Straw

Will Republicans in Congress ever step in?

www.theatlantic.com

Yes, the letter should be "the last straw" with our Congress...

Today, the leaders of the Senate and House could call for legislation that expecitley prohibits the POTUS from:

1) Using U.S. Military forces to attack Greenland, or any other territory under NATO protection.
2) Using tariffs to penalize EU countries who do not support the POTUS objective.

....but they wont.
