Thanks for an interesting post. ๐
700 years of Nordic history teaches one lesson: whoever controlled the water controlled the wealth - the รresund, the Baltic, now the Arctic.
The last 120 years are historically unique. Five genuinely equal, genuinely independent, genuinely cooperative nations - never before in 700 years of Nordic history. Easy to take for granted...
The Nordic five barely register in the global power conversation - but they sit on the most strategically important geography on earth right now. It's one of the most underreported strategic stories of our time.
Norway has Svalbard. Denmark controls Greenland. Finland and Sweden have Arctic territories. Iceland sits at the junction of the Atlantic and Arctic. Together they represent a complete toolkit for the green transition - financing, wind technology, green steel, geothermal, Arctic expertise. None has it alone. Together they're irreplaceable.
The Nordic five are the only Arctic powers simultaneously capable of responsible governance, technological leadership, climate response, and genuine multilateral cooperation. Russia is militarizing the Arctic. China is buying influence. Trump is trying to acquire Greenland.
Five small countries cooperating can punch far above their weight. The current cooperation isn't naive idealism. It's hard-won wisdom from people who know exactly what the alternative looks like. The Arctic is the most important place on earth right now - which makes its defenders, the Nordic five - the most important places too.
The fact that a property developer from New York is trying to "buy" one of them rather than cooperate with it tells you everything about how catastrophically current global leadership is misreading the moment. ๐
To #MAGA, the Mount Rushmore video isn't embarrassing. It's aspirational. They don't see a man with a malignant narcissism disorder inserting himself among the founders. They see their leader being finally recognized at the level he deserves.
โ๏ธThe grandiosity isn't a red flag to them. It's the point. That's the cult of personality dynamic.
Does it discredit America globally?
Catastrophically - and the data confirms it.
Trump polls worse than Putin in 82% of countries. Tourism collapsed. De-dollarization accelerating.
American democracy has been replaced by personality cult. The contrast isn't subtle. It's the entire story of what's happening to American democracy - in one AI-generated video.
Malignant narcissism is a severe, destructive form of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) characterized by grandiosity, a total lack of empathy, antisocial behavior, and sadism.
In the 1950s and 60's, screwworm was devastating in Texas, costing billions ( adjusted for inflation) annually. In 1935, 180K livestock were lost to the fly. 50% of deer fawns died, and the fly decimated deer populations. We have to get on top of this urgently.
The Trump administration has been telling you they had screwworm under control for months. Now, it's here.
What happened? Trump and DOGE slashed funding for screwworm monitoring programs.
And the entire GOP let them. Thank them for today's new hell they unleashed on you.
@ProjectLincoln Biden in Dec 2024: allocated $165M in emergency funding to fight screwworm.
Trump/DOGE in 2025: cut the USDA workforce and monitoring programs.
The screwworm coming back is going to devastate the cattle industry and raise meat prices.
It was preventable.๐
Propaganda - and deliberately misleading.
What's actually happening:
CA sends mail-in ballots to all registered voters.
Those ballots are valid as long as they're postmarked by Election Day and arrive within seven days after.
Each ballot must have its signature verified before counting. This is California state law - not fraud.
โ๏ธ 14 states plus DC currently allow mail ballots postmarked by Election Day to be counted after Election Day
โ๏ธ Every mature democracy in the world prioritizes counting all legitimate votes accurately over counting them fast. Speed is not a democratic value. Accuracy and inclusion are.
MAGA 101: Calling it cheating without evidence is the same playbook as 2020, 2022, and 2024. It never produces evidence. It always produces outrage. That's the point.
@to_discussion@Fair_and_Biased@Eva_eva_P God made the body perfectly - but the mind wrong?๐ง Those are your two claims. They cancel each other out. You can't defend God's creation while calling God's creation a 'cognitive distortion'.
These children are sacred and deserve dignity and protection - from people like you.
