The comparisons to warmongering and historical figures known for their aggression are stark and deeply unsettling.
The outrage extends beyond mere political disagreement.… Continue reading

Europe Backs Greenland After Trump Resumes Takeover Threats
It seems Europe is stepping up to bat, offering its support to Greenland after the resurgence of talk about a potential US takeover, stirred by none other than Donald Trump.
