UKRAINE 43 by @gmtgames
The calculus is simple. If the Germans can hold Kharkov for a couple more turns, they will win. Soviets desperately need that railroad hub…
@PastorJoelT Would you say this is a buy? Thinking of pulling the trigger on it. I did receive Traces of Victory @VUCASimulations last week. Looking to get that to the board shortly.
@PastorJoelT It’s a good think Hitler was running the war. If he left it to his generals, they’d all be talking German today in Europe, and yes probably in north america as well.
August, 1943 was a disaster for the 4th Panzerarmee. SS Viking division restored the front at Kharkov briefly. But going into September, someone’s gotta have a hard talk with the little man with the mustache (get him to drop the stand or die orders at Kharkov).
Traces of War (Vuca): Soviets win an unlikely victory on the last die roll of the last, scoring exactly 65 VPs! The key to victory was having the STAVKA activation drawn last. This enabled the South Front a third activation, in which 6 German inf dive were KIA. Great game!
Imperial Elegy: The Road to the Great War 1850-1920 https://t.co/MnV4sMKTLb I'd like to see VUCA do same game system but from 1640-1730,basically timeframes of Peter the Great & Louis XIV.That would be awesome. Love to see cards dealing w/Louis XIV,Peter the Great,Milton,Voltaire
🚨 CONFIRMED: Norway’s Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre has acknowledged Trump’s letter is real.
The letter reportedly ties Norway’s Nobel Peace Prize decision to Greenland, questions Denmark’s “right of ownership,” and declares the world isn’t secure unless the U.S. has “Complete and Total Control of Greenland.”
PBS’s Nick Schifrin reported the text was obtained from multiple officials and circulated by NSC staff to European ambassadors.
It reads like a meme.
It’s not.
@OJoelsen As I stated to @MarkJCarney how you deal with Trump is: he brings a knife, you bring a gun, he puts one of yours in the hospital, you put one of his in the morgue. That is how you deal with bullies! @Canada and @EU_Commission and @NATO are with you. @StateDept@WhiteHouse
Premier of Greenland 🇬🇱 statement this morning;
This morning, I am both saddened and grateful 🇬🇱
Saddened, because during a press conference last night, the President of the United States once again expressed a desire to take over Greenland. With such statements, our country is reduced to a question of security and power. That is not how we see ourselves, and it is not how Greenland can or should be spoken about.
We are a people with a long history, a strong culture, and a vibrant democracy. We are a country with responsibility for our own territory and for our own future. Our territorial integrity and our right to self-determination are firmly anchored in international law and cannot simply be ignored.
That is also why I am grateful.
Thank you to everyone here at home for the clear support and unity that has been shown. The calmness and dignity with which you have met this situation send a strong signal of a people who stand firm in their values and in their responsibility.
I would also like to thank heads of government and partners around the world who have clearly and unequivocally expressed their respect for Greenland, for our democratic institutions, and for the fundamental principles of international law. That support confirms that we here at home do not stand alone.
Once again: Greenland is our country. Decisions are made here. And I will at all times fight for our freedom and our right to decide for ourselves and to shape our own future.
For now, I hope that the peace of Christmas can settle over us all.
Merry Christmas 🇬🇱💙🇬🇱
