Trump is raising tariffs on 8 NATO allies because they rightly support Denmark's sovereignty in Greenland.
Destroying our closest alliances to take Greenland — which Denmark lets us use freely already — is insane. Congress must say NO.
In my exchanges with various Americans on social media, it's become clear that the problem isn't that Americans can't find Greenland on a map. They can; Greenland's hard to miss, especially on a Mercator projection. The problem is that too many Americans can't find Denmark on a map. They have no idea what it is and have no real understanding both of the value of allies in general and of Denmark in particular. They don't believe me when I tell them that European allies are worth having, that they do have militaries, that they do enhance our security, and that, in general, they are good for our well-being as Americans.
So, for example, when I say the Danes fought in Afghanistan, they dismiss this because of the assumption that Denmark's contribution was of no consequence, nor, to be frank, was that of any NATO ally. They simply are unaware of anyone else doing anything.
When I tell them that having an ally in control of the Straits of Denmark is a huge advantage, they shrug their shoulders. The Straits of what? Why does being able to bottle up the Baltic Sea matter? It's so remote it might as well be Middle Earth.
When I tell them that Denmark has committed to defending Latvia and keeps an armored battalion there, they have no clue why that might do America any good. They just see (because Trump pointed it out) that Denmark has left Greenland undefended. The fact that Denmark in effect has chosen to defend Greenland by putting troops forward (Latvia) does not compute. And of course they have no idea that since 1941 the US and Denmark have had an understanding about Greenland's defense, which has encouraged Danes to focus east, not west.
And so, when I say that Trump is in danger of killing NATO, they really don't understand why any American should care, since, as far as they are concerned, only the United States does anything, and the rest of NATO is there as window dressing. You (hopefully) and I know that's not at all true, but too many Americans view things in this way.

The war in the Black Sea absolutely exposes Russian weaknesses and serves a lesson how to defeat a superior opponent, using technology and smart strategies.
The Russian offensive operations in the Black Sea have completely reversed. In stage one they launched a blockade against Odesa, Ukraine. The sinking of the Russian flagship, Moskva, abruptly ended this operation. Russians were forced to break off their blockade and withdraw to the occupied peninsula of Crimea.
In the second stage Russians tried to hold the line, while firing long-range missiles into Ukraine. The Russian-occupied harbour of Sevastopol, Russian-occupied Ukraine, was the lynchpin of this operation. When Ukrainian long-range missile destroyed the Russian headquarters along the submarine Rostov-on-Don in August 2024 and other warships in this sector, this operation fell apart. Again, Russians were forced to further retreat.
The third and current stage started with the withdrawal of the Russian Black Sea fleet back to Russia, making Novorossiysk the new headquarters. The operations from there has been similar to those conducted from Sevastopol. The greater distance to the combat zones in Ukraine should have made things easier, but the last weeks proved otherwise. New drones have penetrated Russian defenses and struck Novorossiysk multiple times, including Russian air defense assets
The strike today against the Russian submarine "Varshavyanka" marks the beginning of the end of Russia's last naval holdout in this region. Russians will never ever feel safe anywhere in the Black Sea. Together with raids against Russian shadow fleet tankers, this will further complicate Russian abilities to wage war against Ukraine, as well as any other states in the Black Sea region. I wouldn't be surprised when Moscow will soon "offer" a naval truce.
For the Asia-Pacific region this development will be of great importance.
@barriere_dr Merci pour ce debunk salutaire. Pour le gourou marseillais retraité trop tard pour lui apprendre à faire de la science correcte avec auto-critique et analyses des biais.
@GeWoessner Les entrepreneurs français expatriés en 🇨🇭 ont tous une histoire semblable à celle de Gilles Huguenin. Aucuns ne regrettent d’être arrivés dans un pays libéral.
L'entrepreneur Éric Larchevêque (@EricLarch), qui fait partie des «500 personnalités les plus riches de France», est visé par la taxe Zucman. Selon lui, «l'idée de cette taxe existe justement parce que les entrepreneurs ne se payent pas assez, découragés par la fiscalité française, la plus importante d'Europe».
Aujourd’hui encore, on m’a balancé : « Tu nettoies des fesses ».
Ce n’est ni la première fois, ni la dernière… mais cette fois, j’ai décidé de répondre.
Oui, je nettoie des fesses.
Mais je fais bien plus que ça : je coupe des ongles, je lave des corps, je nourris, j’habille, je réconforte, j’écoute, j’accompagne des êtres humains qui, pour certains, n’ont plus la force de faire tout cela eux-mêmes.
Je rends possible ce que d’autres préfèrent ne pas voir.
Ces gestes sont des actes de soin, de respect et de dignité.
Et les réduire à une simple phrase méprisante, c’est insulter tout ce qu’il y a de profondément humain dans ce métier.
Parce que, soyons clairs :
Je ne pourrais pas faire un travail où il faut manipuler ou mentir pour exister.
Et pourtant, ce sont souvent ces métiers-là qu’on glorifie, pendant que le nôtre est regardé de haut.
La réalité, c’est que ceux qui rabaissent ce que nous faisons n’ont, pour l’instant, jamais eu besoin d’aide pour aller aux toilettes ou se laver.
Mais ce jour viendra peut-être. Et quand il viendra, il y aura, malgré tout, quelqu’un comme moi pour les aider avec respect et bienveillance.
Notre travail est invisible, mais essentiel.
Il demande du cœur, de la force, du courage.
Il mérite le respect. Le vrai.
Alors la prochaine fois que vous parlez de « nettoyer des fesses », faites-le avec reconnaissance. Parce qu’un jour, peut-être… ce sera les vôtres.
Actually, Kevin, I'm an infectious diseases doctor. I treat infections.
So if we stopped all vaccines, there would be an explosion of infections and I would be busier than ever
