President Trump threatened to impose tariffs on countries that do not support U.S. control over Greenland, citing national security as the reason.

The Department of Homeland Security’s recent use of a white supremacist anthem in an ICE recruitment ad mirrors the ideology of the Proud Boys, a group tied to the January 6th Capitol riot. This is not the first instance where the actions of ICE, under Secretary Kristi Noem, have resembled the neo-fascist group’s tactics and goals as laid out by Gavin McInnes. McInnes, through his show, promoted violent rhetoric, targeting minorities and liberals, as a means of restoring a perceived loss of status for white men. Ultimately, the article reveals that the same justifications used by McInnes to build the Proud Boys, are being used by the current administration to justify acts of violence.

Amidst escalating tensions, Russia has accused the West of militarizing the Arctic, specifically criticizing the increased military presence in Greenland. Moscow officials expressed serious concern following the U.S. expressing interest in seizing the Danish territory and the subsequent arrival of European military personnel. Furthermore, Russia views these actions as a ploy to advance an anti-Russian and anti-Chinese agenda, with officials ridiculing Europe’s ability to defend Greenland and drawing parallels to the 2014 annexation of Crimea. Moscow maintains the Arctic should remain a region of peace and cooperation, suggesting the EU focus on internal issues rather than international affairs.

The US Health Secretary, RFK Jr., declared an end to the supposed “war on protein” as part of the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines, which now prioritizes protein at every meal. This move, despite the lack of evidence suggesting a restriction on protein consumption in the United States, aligns with a larger MAGA movement that centers on body image, fitness, and traditional masculinity. The emphasis on animal proteins and a return to saturated fats found in products such as full-fat milk, butter, and beef tallow is viewed by some as projecting an idealized masculine image by capitalizing on cultural perceptions of food and gender. This focus on fitness and masculinity is further emphasized by the inclusion of events like the UFC cage fight as part of the White House’s 250th-anniversary celebrations.

This incident occurred amidst a significant federal presence in the city related to immigration enforcement operations, leading to protests and two shootings by federal agents within a week. President Donald Trump has since threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act to quell ongoing protests.

The core problem plaguing societies and driving political instability is the extreme wealth concentrated in the hands of a tiny percentage of the global population.

The author concludes that addressing extreme wealth is crucial for creating a fairer and more sustainable future.
