2) Trump says Greenland needs to be “in the hands of the UNITED STATES” because “NATO would not be an effective force or deterrent – Not even close!” (https://x.com/WhiteHouse/status/2011476193732645080?s=20). Which is also objectively bullshit given that the U.S. is in NATO… Unless he implies article 5 is now null and void.
4) And now Russia is saying that it is “seriously concerned” about the heightened NATO military presence in Greenland. Which is honestly fair: additional NATO deployment on their northern border is objectively a security concern for them.
The end result is this sad irony: Greenland is now a legitimate point of Russian-NATO tension where none existed before Trump started his threats of annexation.
By responding to a fictional Russian danger with actual NATO military buildup, NATO leaders have created the very security concern they claimed to be addressing.
It’s almost impressively incompetent. Or maybe deliberately manufactured, which is just as bad.
Greenland is shaping up to be another masterclass in self-fulfilling prophecy and stunningly incompetent Western foreign policy.
That's the sequence:
1) Trump says he wants to annex it because otherwise "Russia or China will take over Greenland", which is entirely bullshit (see… pic.twitter.com/TnzWD5xbdh
Kakorkoli to imenujete – “intelektualna neresnost” ali “intelektualna podhranjenost” – ima ta intelektualni deficit katastrofalno resne realne posledice. Ko v času krize, države vodijo nekompetentni politiki, iz tega sledi dizaster. To smo videli v času finančne krize in dolgega desetletja stagnacije kasneje. Toda če v času stoletne multikrize, ko se spojijo konkurenčni, tehnološki, podnebni, energetski in geopolitični krizni valovi, države vodijo absolutno nekompetentni politiki z intelektualnim deficitom, iz tega sledi ne samo geopolitični zaton, pač pa civilizacijski zaton Evrope.
Najhuje pa je, da imamo tako močno intelektualno podhranjene politike, da bodo s cenzuro in represijo “inteligentnim ljudem prepovedali razmišljati, da ne bi užalili imbecilov” (izjava se pripisuje Fjodorju Dostojevskemu).

One of the world’s most respected economists just said what millions are thinking — Europe is being run by intellectually unserious people driving the continent toward disaster.
Sachs didn’t mince words:
There is not a single major leader in the EU or Britain today with the stature, honesty, or strategic depth of past statesmen like Helmut Kohl, Helmut Schmidt, or Mitterrand.
Instead, Europe is now led by figures like:
Ursula von der Leyen
Kaja Kallas
Friedrich Merz
Emmanuel Macron
And Sachs’ verdict was brutal:
“Are you kidding?”
He said their thinking is incoherent, disconnected from reality, and dangerously reckless — especially when it comes to Russia.
While they talk endlessly about war, Sachs asked the obvious question:
If you are afraid of your neighbour… why don’t you pick up the phone and talk?
Instead, Europe has chosen:
Sanctions over diplomacy
Escalation over negotiation
Ideology over stability
Cutting off Russia.
Cutting off China.
Cutting off India.
Destroying its own energy, trade, and security.
Sachs warned that this isn’t leadership — it’s self-destruction.
Only a few governments, like Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic, are still acting with any realism.
The rest of Europe is sleepwalking into a wider war.
And the tragedy is this:
Europe once produced great statesmen.
Now it produces bureaucrats, ideologues, and slogan-repeaters — and the cost will be paid in blood, energy poverty, and geopolitical collapse.
This is what decline looks like.
🚨 JEFFREY SACHS JUST TORCHED EUROPE’S ELITE
One of the world’s most respected economists just said what millions are thinking — Europe is being run by intellectually unserious people driving the continent toward disaster.
James Hansen declared that the global temperature in 2025 would be the “acid” test of his interpretation of the unprecedented warming in 2023, expecting it to be ≳ 1.5 °C. His theory just failed the test, as the UK MetOffice shows.https://t.co/zke6IfoEdvpic.twitter.com/VDPKElDtbI
Po temperaturnem rekordu 2024, se je povprečna globalna temperatura leta 2025 (anomalija glede na povprečje 1991-2020) spet znižala. Roy Spencer (ex-NASA):
2025 was the 2nd warmest year (a distant 2nd behind 2024) in the 47-year satellite record
The Version 6.1 global average lower tropospheric temperature (LT) anomaly for December, 2025 was +0.30 deg. C departure from the 1991-2020 mean, down from the November, 2025 value of +0.43 deg. C. (In the following plot note that the 13-month centered-average trace [red curve] has now been updated after several months of not being updated).
The Version 6.1 global area-averaged linear temperature trend (January 1979 through December 2025) remains at +0.16 deg/ C/decade (+0.22 C/decade over land, +0.13 C/decade over oceans).
But seriously, even years after the „green energy transition“ and spending a fortune, Germany still generates five times more CO₂ per kWh of electricity than France. Not to mention the huge economic and geopolitical damage.
Spodaj so recepti iz “kuharske knjige”, kako se lotiti zamenjave režima v Iranu. Napisalo jo je 6 avtorjev iz kvazi think tanka Brookings, ki ga financirajo ameriške vladne agencije in ministrstva. Študijo je po varnostnem pregledu odobrila tudi CIA. Če najdete kakšne podobnosti z dogajanji v zadnjem desetletju in pol z recepti iz te knjige, to najbrž ni slučaj. Notri je ves arzenal ameriških akcij glede Irana. Zanimivo je tudi zadnje poglavje, kako javnost pripraviti na nujnost posredovanja v Iranu. Seveda to vključuje aktivacijo mainstream medijev. Kako ta akcija poteka, smo videli v zadnjih dveh tednih v vseh glavnih medijih.
I especially pointed out that the U.S. had delivered Starlink satellite terminals to organizers of the riots – 40,000 of them is a rumored number – but that the Iranian government had acquired the means to detect them and to shut down their traffic.
Just a day later Forbes reports that the government did indeed used its new tools:
The Iranian government did not bother to track down single terminals but used the new Russian and Chinese equipment to shut down all Starlink traffic in Iran. Packet loss rates of 90% have made the connections unusable.
Today pro-government marches are held in all major cities of Iran. They are much bigger than anything the opposition could ever assemble. The Iranian system has again demonstrated that it is astonishingly stable. Not one official has changed side.
The riots are, for now, over. The streets tonight will likely be quiet. During the next weeks the riot leaders and instigators will be tracked down and punished – harshly one hopes in sight of the casualties on the government side.
Praktično ne mine dan, da ne bi v medijskih ali političnih izjavah prebral kaj na temo zelenega prehoda in oskrbe z elektriko iz obnovljivih virov (OVE). To je uradna usmeritev Evropske Unije ter seveda tudi Slovenije in njej so podrejeni vsi energetski načrti in tudi razmišljanja. Namen takšne usmeritve naj bi bila skrb za okolje, za trajnostni razvoj, kar je nedvomno pohvalno. V tej skrbi in zavzetosti pa vsi pisci ter tudi ključni akterji našega energetskega prehoda pogosto zanemarjajo dejanske razmere in realne možnosti.
Preberemo lahko na primer informacijo, da pridobivajo Norvežani že vso elektriko iz obnovljivih virov, kar se potem razume kot usmeritev tudi za Slovenijo. Seveda ni dodan podatek, da zaradi naravnih danosti Norveška pridobi kar 87 % vse elektrike iz vode. S takšno možnostjo je Norveška druga država na svetu (prvi Paragvaj s 100 % hidro oskrbo), naslednja Kanada okoli 60 %. Takšna primerjava nima torej nobene realne podlage, a zagovorniki OVE jo pač navedejo. Ne bodo pa napisali, da je Nemčija v obnovljive vire (sonce, veter) vložila primerjalno s Slovenijo 18 milijard evrov, rezultat pa dvakrat višja cena elektrike ter 10-krat več CO2 izpustov kot Francija z visokim deležem jedrske energije.
Bi bila to pot za Slovenijo? Verjetno se hitro strinjamo, da ne – a snovalce našega energetskega načrta to ne ovira, da iščejo rešitve bolj na nemški način.
ELON JUST CALLED THE EU’S BLUFF – OPEN SOURCING X’S ALGORITHM IN 6 DAYS
@ElonMusk is making X’s entire recommendation algorithm public January 17th. Every line of code showing what posts you see and why. Then updating it every 4 weeks with developer notes.
This is a direct response to France classifying X as an “organized gang,” the same legal designation they use for drug cartels and mafia, so they could wiretap employee phones and demand algorithm access.
The EU wants control over what people see online. They fined X $140 million last month, launched probes into “algorithm abuse,” and demanded researchers get data access. France wants “experts” to analyze X’s code to “uncover the truth” about the platform.
Elon’s response: “You want the algorithm? Here’s the algorithm. Everyone gets it.”
This is 4D chess. EU regulators wanted private access to modify and control.
Instead they’re getting public disclosure they can’t manipulate. Every competing platform, every researcher, every government on Earth gets the same code at the same time.
You can’t secretly pressure someone to censor when the censorship mechanism is open source.
My prediction: EU loses its mind, threatens more fines.
Elon doesn’t care. Other platforms forced to follow or look like they’re hiding something.
If that’s not a classic Elon, what is?

Kdor verjame, da je mogoče spodnji dve krivulji (1) globalne porabe energije:
in (2) globalnih CO2 izpustov:
obrniti navzdol, bodisi živi v pravljici, ali pa mora človeštvo vrniti v obdobje pred letom 1800:
število prebivalcev zmanjšati iz 8 na 1 milijardo
zapreti vso industrijo
zaustaviti ves sodobni promet in iti nazaj na konjske vprege in jadrnice
iz žarnic iti nazaj na sveče,
itd.
Nič od tega ni mogoče (in pomenilo bi genocid in zmanjšanje blaginje na raven srednjega veka za preostale prebivalce).
Globalna poraba energije (in fosilnih goriv kot glavnega energenta – trenutno 77 %) bo absolutno še naprej naraščala (ker narašča število prebivalcev in ker raste poraba energije na prebivalca) in zaradi tega bodo globalni izpusti CO2 absolutno še naprej naraščali (ker se število prebivalcev in poraba energije povečuje v najmanj razvitih in demografsko najbolj aktivnih regijah). To je aritmetika.
S čim se torej slepijo “zeleni” apologeti oziroma zakaj manipulirajo javnost?! Ali pa ne gre samo za intelektualno podhranjenost, marveč nekateri v resnici imajo genocidne ideje (želijo zmanjšati globalno populacijo na 1 milijardo) in suicidalne ideje (želijo povratek gospodarstva nazaj v predindustrijsko dobo in s tem na tisto raven “blaginje”)?
