UK, Germany, France Push New Plan To Appease Trump On Greenland
President Trump's Friday's remarks to reporters Friday made clear he is willing to take control of Greenland - even if it's the "hard way" - and this sent the Europeans scrambling over the weekend to come up with plans or strategies for quickly de-escalating inter-NATO tensions.
"I'm not talking about money for Greenland yet. I might talk about that. But right now we are going to do something on Greenland, whether they like it or not," the President had said, adding: "I would like to make a deal. You know, the easy way. But if we don't do it the easy way, we're going to do it the hard way."
In the wake of this, NATO member Denmark responded firmly in the face of the US threat to its colony. Such a scenario as a US military move on Greenland would be the collapse of NATO, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has made clear. Among the remarks from last week, Frederiksen said, "If the Uni...

Russia On Paris Ukraine Summit: Western 'Peacekeeping' Troops Would Be "Legitimate Combat Targets"
Authored by Dave DeCamp via AntiWar.com,
The Russian Foreign Ministry on Thursday repeated its long-standing objection to troops from NATO countries deploying to Ukrainian territory as part of a potential future peace deal, as Ukraine and its Western backers continue to push the idea.
"The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs warns that the deployment of military units, military facilities, warehouses, and other infrastructure of Western countries on Ukrainian territory will be classified as foreign intervention, posing a direct threat to the security of not only Russia but also other European countries," Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.

France′s economic miracle never came — here′s what went wrong (CNBC)
|
|
|
Look at the way the French work, and you'll start to see why “Macronomics” fell short. When Emmanuel Macron took office in 2017, he promised a French economic renaissance. His supply-side strategy aimed to slash taxes and curb public spending to spur investment and drive down unemployment. Eight years on, however, public debt has skyrocketed while GDP growth remains sluggish. So, what happened? And is France destined to economic decline?...

Der 47-Milliarden-Pseudo-Notfall – Ursula von der Leyens gefährliches Versprechen (Die Welt)
|
|
|
Europa und Südamerika wollen die größte Freihandelszone der Welt formen. Doch mehrere einflussreiche Staaten drohen das Projekt zu torpedieren. Von der Leyen möchte sie mit einem riskanten und kostspieligen Manöver umstimmen. Alles hängt jetzt an Italien... --- Aber hinter den Kulissen herrscht Aufregung. Deutschland und Spanien befürworten den Deal, der fast alle Zölle zwischen den Europäern und Südamerikanern abschaffen würde. Bauern aus Argentinien könnten dann zum Beispiel günstiger als bisher Rindfleisch nach Europa bringen. Und hiesige Unternehmen hätten es einfacher, in der Region Fahrzeuge und Maschinen zu verkaufen. Viele in Brüssel sprechen von „cows for cars“, wenn sie den Kern von Mercosur beschreiben: „Kühe gegen Autos.“ --- Doch Frankreich und Polen halten nichts davon. Die mächtigen Bauernlobbys dort fürchten eine Flut billiger südamerikanischer Agrarprodukte.. --- Von der Leyen will Meloni nun mit einem heiklen Versprechen überzeugen: Sie sagt Europas Bauern Hilfen in Höhe von 45 Mrd Euro zu..
