If you were to go to Dubai for a lecture, please do not do as Sting does here:

Ein unbedachtes Wort, und schon ist es passiert. Statt im Boden zu versinken, lässt sich ein peinliches Fettnäpfchen mit etwas Geschick überspielen. Souveränität und eine Prise Humor helfen dabei, die Situation schnell wieder zu entspannen.#alltagstipps #kommunikation #peinlich #fauxpas #selbstbewusstsein #socialskills #gutzuwissen

So the #USAnians sent a "special envoy" to Greenland.

This is a #diplomatic faux pas to start with - #Greenland is an autonomous division of the #Danish kingdom, and so all diplomatic actions should (at least to start) be done by approaching Denmark, through the USA ambassador to Denmark. Bypassing that is Not Done. Extremely rude. Like, "drop your trousers and shit on the floor in front of the queen" #rude.

So that's bad enough.

But the *reason* for the envoy is to try to convince Greenland to #separate from #Denmark, and join the #USA. i.e. it's just another extension of the "We'll take Greenland" #bullshit the #insane #orange mental-defect-in-diapers was pushing a while back. This is, from a diplomatic standpoint, unspeakably rude. Unimaginably so. Simply unfathomable, except for the fact that the USA *elected* that #fascist #asshole to behave this way.

So the normal diplomatic response would be for the Danish PM to summon the USA #ambassador, and ask him for an explanation, and the ambassador would be expected to provide an #apology to some degree.

But given Trump's penchant for appointing his kind of c*cksuckers as ambassadors, and zero respect for any kind of #behavioural standards, the appropriate response here would be for the Danish PM to summon the USA ambassador, and then #stab him in the #face.

Please please please, if you're putting together conference slides, skip using ai generated images. It looks low effort to have characters with too many hands in your talk. If it's too much effort to find human art, then just skip art all together.

Lutte contre la corruption en Ukraine : Zelensky remet la loi à l’endroit, mais peine à sortir de l’ornière

La série de manifestations et les agacements internationaux sur l’indépendance des organes anticorruption que le Parlement, sous pression, a finalement rétablie, risque de laisser des séquelles et fragiliser un peu plus le Président.

Peinlicher #Fauxpas bei #Apple: Ein offizieller Social-Media-Account postete versehentlich ein #Werbevideo für das #Samsung #Galaxy #ZFlip7. Dem Konkurrenten aus Korea dürfte das gefallen haben. https://winfuture.de/news,152604.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia
