Norway (population: 5.7m) beats US (342m) to top Winter Olympics medal table.

Let's predict what will happen next? A poll:

1. "Terrorist" attack in Oslo
2. Assassination of the prime minister of Norway
3. Assassination of the CEO of the most successful Norwegian company (like it happened to Enrico Mattei)
4. Export of democracy to Norway and installation of a puppet dictatorship
5. Tariffs of 10000% on Norwegian exports (to be cancelled rigorously the next Taco Tuesday)
6. Hijacking of Norwegian ships and expropriation of their oil

" #Trump defines power as simply #MightMakesRight. The average Canadian has not come to grips with the fact that our centuries old relationship with the United States has come to an end. This is a rupture, not a diversion."

Hey, did you know that #American special forces can swoop into #Scotland and exfiltrate people even after court said no?

Well, they can. And they did. And nobody is gonna do a damn thing about it. Welcome to the thunderdome, I guess.

Danish parliamentarian Rasmus Jarlov reacts to Stephen Miller’s #Greenland comments:
"I hope he’s kept away from young women, because that’s the mentality of a #rapist. You can’t defend yourself, so I’m going to take you. That’s basically what he’s saying."
#TrumpDoctrine = #MightMakesRight
#PutinAgrees #PutinsPuppet #politics

For what was once a quirky joke, the stealing of #Greenland has become a touchstone for the moral corruption of the #TrumpRegime. It's #MightMakesRight attitude and framing of being a bully as a moral imperative is a danger to us all.

“'President Trump was by a large measure the most culpable and most responsible person in this conspiracy. These crimes were committed for his benefit. The attack that happened at the Capitol, part of this case, does not happen without him.'

The bastards won. There is no other conclusion to be drawn."

"It is not too much to conclude that in its darkest, bat-ridden heart of hearts, the Republican party has come around to accepting the violence of January 6 as an unusually effective long-term political strategy. They’re proud of it, as proud as their president clearly is because, as Jack Smith testified before the House Judiciary Committee," (continued in /2)

Five Years Ago, Insurrectionists Tried to Take over the Government. In 2026, It’s Clear They Won.

In their darkest, bat-ridden heart of hearts, Republicans have accepted the violence of January 6 as an effective long-term political strategy.

"If Washington can seize a head of state without legal sanction, what stops others from doing the same? A dangerous new normal."

"Trump sounded more like a gangster than like a American president when he said: 'he planned to fix Venezuela’s oil industry, a proposition he said could yield a lot of money.' The job of a president of the United States is not to fix Venezuela’s oil industry":
