In 1954, the United States overthrew the democratically elected, socialist government of Jacobo Árbenz in Guatemala🇬🇹. Árbenz had instituted land reforms that nationalised unused land, heavily impacting the American-owned United Fruit Company.

In 1964, the United States backed a military coup that ousted democratic social-democrat President João Goulart in Brazil🇧🇷 in 1964. Goulart had proposed progressive tax and land reforms, which Washington feared would lead to a “second Cuba”.

In 1965, the US and UK actively supported the anti-communist military faction in Indonesia🇮🇩 as they marginalised the socialist President Sukarno. The transition was accompanied by the mass slaughter of 1 million members of the Indonesian Communist Party, utilising intelligence lists provided by US officials.

Before Guyana🇬🇾 gained independence in 1966, the CIA and British intelligence covertly funded disruptive general strikes and destabilised the democratically elected, Marxist-oriented Premier Cheddi Jagan, successfully forcing him out of power before independence.

In 1971, the US supported the military coup in Bolivia🇧🇴 to overthrow General Juan José Torres, a leftist leader who had nationalised American mining properties and established a “People's Assembly”.

In Chile🇨🇱, Marxist President Salvador Allende was democratically elected. So, the Unites States actively worked to destabilise the Chilean economy. “Make the economy scream”, they said, before backing a 1973 violent military coup led by Augusto Pinochet, during which President Allende was killed.

In 1983, the US launched a full-scale military invasion called Operation Urgent Fury in Grenada🇬🇩 in 1983 to depose the military council and halt Cuban influence on the island.

There’s the 1953 coup in Iran🇮🇷. The 66-year long embargo on Cuba🇨🇺. The Cold War on the Soviet Union & the Eastern Bloc. The 76-year long sanctions on North Korea🇰🇵. The 1975 - 1994 embargo on Communist Vietnam🇻🇳. The funding of Contra rebel groups in Nicaragua🇳🇮 in 1985 - 1990. The sanctions on the Chávista government in Venezuela🇻🇪, culminating in the abduction of President Nicolas Maduro.

Så skete det - som mange i Nato og ikke mindst i Kongeriget - havde håbet ikke ville ske.
Trump får spørgsmålet om Grønland og fastslår, at Grønland bør være kontrolleret af USA og ikke af Danmark, som han udtrykker det. Det mest problematiske set med kongerigets øjne er dog, at Trump siger, at netop spørgsmålet om Grønland er det, der har skadet hans forhold til Nato. Og at han har hjulpet Europa med Ukraine - men de vil så ikke hjælpe ham med Grønland. Op til topmødet er det også kommet frem via flere medier, at Trump og hans folk stadig mener, at en amerikansk overtagelse af Grønland vil være det bedste både for USA og Nato. Denne kamp er langt fra ovre.  @tv2newsdk kl 16 og frem

Torstein Træen has claimed Uno-X Mobility’s first yellow jersey in the Tour de France! 💛

Jonas Abrahamsen delivered Uno-X Mobility’s first stage victory in the Tour de France.

Both were 21 when they became part of the very first Uno-X team in November 2016. 💛

@aanaakit @Frihetsfabrikk1 @PuncheurCycling It's true

[Frihetsfabrikk1 @Frihetsfabrikk1]

@aanaakit @PuncheurCycling Tour de France🇫🇷 is currently ongoing, today Træen (norwegian cyclist on norwegian team Uno-X) just secured the yellow jersey…🙄 6 different norwegian stage winners, Thor Hushovd with 10 victories.. u are delusional..

[Fredrik for peace 🇳🇴 @FredrikHirsch]

@PuncheurCycling And today a Norwegian has the Yellow jersey in Tour de France!

Talk about comebacks…

In May 2022 Torstein Træen found out he had testicular cancer from a routine doping control.

Then he won his battle with cancer, fought back and signed with a WorldTour team.

And today he got the most famous jersey in the biggest race in the world. Absolutely insane. #TDF2026

Torpenhow Hill, England

When the Saxons arrived and asked the locals what that hill was called, the Welsh replied, “Pen,” which simply means hill in Welsh.

The Saxons, apparently not spotting they’d already been given the full answer, added their own word for hill: tor. So it became Torpen - literally Hill Hill.

A few centuries later, the Norse turned up and repeated the exercise, adding haugr, their word for hill. Now it was effectively Torpenhaugr - Hill Hill Hill.

Then the English arrived, looked at the whole thing, shrugged, and added “Hill” on the end for good measure.

Thus we ended up with Torpenhow Hill:
Hill Hill Hill Hill.

It’s comforting to know that for over a thousand years, successive generations have been independently deciding that the previous lot hadn’t made it quite clear enough that it was, in fact, a hill.

Language is magnificent.
Humans… less so.🤷🏻‍♂️🤣

The question for Argentines is simple: when your president dances for another flag, whose interests is he really defending?

[Irlanda Maya @irlandamaya]

Cuando los hinchas de Noruega se sientan en el suelo y empiezan a remar al mismo ritmo, no están repitiendo una ceremonia antigua.

Están convirtiendo una imagen histórica en un símbolo de fuerza y unión.

La celebración se conoce como “Viking Row”, o “remo vikingo”. Nació en tiempos recientes, impulsada por hinchas noruegos, pero conecta con una parte profunda de la identidad del país: el mar.

Noruega es una tierra de fiordos, costas extensas y navegación. Durante la era vikinga, los barcos largos escandinavos no fueron solo embarcaciones de guerra. También sirvieron para explorar, comerciar, migrar y conectar territorios lejanos.

Aquellos barcos dependían de una idea simple y poderosa: nadie avanzaba solo. Para que la nave se moviera, la tripulación debía remar con fuerza, ritmo y coordinación.

Por eso la celebración funciona tan bien en un estadio.

Miles de personas, sentadas como si estuvieran dentro de una gran nave, mueven los brazos al mismo tiempo y convierten la tribuna en un barco imaginario. No celebran únicamente un gol. Representan a un país pequeño que avanza unido, como una tripulación.

Pero sí toma una imagen histórica muy noruega y la transforma en algo moderno: una forma de decir que, cuando todos reman juntos, hasta un sueño imposible puede empezar a moverse.
