Carney wants a new world order - but only for the West
After failing to stand up for Gaza or Venezuela, the Canadian prime minister took umbrage when US imperialism hit homeMiddle East Eye
Germany has rejected joining a U.S.-led “peace board” proposed by President Trump to oversee the Gaza ceasefire and post-war arrangements.
The initiative, circulated to about 60 countries, would position Trump as founding president with broad authority over membership and decision-making.
Berlin said the plan goes beyond expectations, undermines multilateralism and bypasses established institutions like the United Nations.

"Trump’s 'Board of Peace' is the nail in Gaza’s coffin".
Trump's 'peace' is in the Orwellian sense of equalling "the final eradication of Palestinian life in Gaza."
And the board is about a new world order where billionaires will decide the fate of weak nations.
“I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace", says Trump. Orwell’s moment is truly upon us: “War is peace.”

"NBC: 'Trump calls for ‘immediate negotiations’ on Greenland, but rules out using force' ...
Every story that treats 'I won’t use force' as the news, rather than 'I reminded everyone that I could use unstoppable force,' contributes to a distorted picture of reality. Readers who rely on mainstream coverage encounter a version of Trump that has been sanded down, made palatable, rendered comprehensible within frameworks that don’t apply to him."
"He said he wouldn’t do it. For now.
You won’t find this in any diplomacy textbook. It’s the language of a protection racket.
So how did reporters cover it?
NPR (original headline): 'Trump says
I won’t use force" to obtain Greenland in Davos speech'
ABC News: 'Trump rules out using military force to acquire Greenland in Davos speech'”

Now Everyone's Saying 'Oh, Good'
Trump told the media exactly how they'd cover his Greenland threats. They did it anyway.Parker Molloy (The Present Age)
"The system worked, in part, because countries believed the U.S. would honor its commitments. ...
The reality is that when the architect of the postwar order becomes its violator, the entire system collapses. If the U.S. can threaten NATO allies with impunity, why should China hold back from attacking Taiwan? Why should Russia stop at Ukraine?"
"America, for all its missteps, had been the guarantor of a rules-based order in which smaller nations could trust that their sovereignty would be respected. American dominance was by no means faultless, but it was consciously unlike the empires of old, with a firm policy against pursuing territorial conquest."

Trump’s Attempted Greenland Grab Has Turned America Into a Predatory Power
His bid might have been thwarted for now, but America will be regarded as a global threat going forwardBerny Belvedere (The UnPopulist)
"Trump wants to invade a NATO ally so we can have military bases we already have, to combat a threat that does not exist. To make matters worse, Trump is now citing his failure to win the Nobel Peace Prize as a reason for his aggression toward Greenland.
A military takeover of Greenland would blow up NATO, isolate the U.S., and dramatically strengthen Russia and China—and for what?
It’s pure idiocy."

Putin offered to give $1 billion to #Trump’s Board of Peace from the $5 billion Russian frozen assets in the U.S, at a Russia’s #Security Council meeting.
The rest of the funds will be put to Ukraine’s post-war reconstruction.

I nevertheless have a question: are they the same people in front of both speakers? Trump is able to place fans only for this purpose.

The last time this city even saw a coordinated labor action general strike-ish was obviously in 1934 at the teamster strike. So it's a big deal ...

"a liar who frequently screwed over business partners, a convicted criminal who thinks it’s unfair if laws apply to him, and a rapist who likes taking things without consent.
None of that was remotely hidden when Americans decided to elect him a second time."
"Some call Trump’s threats against an ally 'insane' or 'mad king' behavior—and it is by traditional American values—but it fits an aspiring autocrat who called Russia’s invasion of Ukraine 'savvy' and 'genius,' an anti-democracy narcissist who sees wealth and glory for himself as a paramount national interest," (continued in /14)

With Greenland Threats, Trump is Destroying the Western Alliance

"All I can say is that this is a letter [by Trump to the Norwegian PM] whose every sentence could never have been written by any predecessor, and which provides overpowering evidence for invoking the Twenty-Fifth."

But for Trump's Treasury Secretary, it's unfair to quote Trump's words
"Trump himself has told us what’s going on: he’s throwing a temper tantrum over not receiving a Nobel Peace Prize — not how he put it, but that was the gist of his text to Norway’s prime minister. And there’s no reason to disbelieve him, even though Scott Bessent says that quoting Trump’s own words is a 'complete canard.'”
~ Paul Krugman
"They’ve lost such prestige. Got all—that’s why I have such respect for Maria doing what she did. She said, ‘I don’t deserve the Nobel Prize, he does.’ When she got it, they named—they said, ‘Wow that’s amazing, I thought President Trump would get it.’”
Things Trump said as he rambled and slurred yesterday:
“I should’ve gotten the Nobel Prize for each war, but I don’t say that. I saved millions and millions of people. And don’t let anyone tell you that Norway doesn’t control the shots, ok? It’s in Norway. Norway controls the shots. They’ll say, ‘We have nothing to do with it.’ It’s a joke."

Things Trump said as he rambled and slurred yesterday:
“‘To me, a town looks better when you have military people [on the streets].’
That was but one of the many, many 5-alarm fire-worthy statements the former leader of the free world slurred before a packed scrum of reporters at a White House press briefing yesterday afternoon, mere hours after he terminated the Western world order.”

"But this one you're looking at all the steel—vicious steel, tiny windows, bars all over the place. Nobody was getting out. It's called the mental institution. That was an insane asylum.”
The point of that weave seems to have been that Democrats either created inhumane mental institutions or had a hand in ending them and placing mentally ill people on the streets — something it's well known Reagan did.
But I said to my mother, ‘Mom,’ she would be there, always there for me. She said, ‘Son, you could be a professional baseball player.’ I said, ‘Thanks, mom.’ I said, ‘Why are those bars on the windows?'"
It wasn't normal, you know? You're used to looking at, like, a window."
Things Trump said as he rambled and slurred yesterday:
“I grew up in Queens, we had a place called Creedmoor [Psychiatric Center]. Creedmoor. Did anybody know that? Creedmoor. It was a big … I said, ‘Mom, why are those bars on the building?’ I used to play little league baseball there at a place called Cunningham Park. I was quite the baseball player, you wouldn't believe."

“It’s right now a little bit in progress,” #Trump told reporters. “But pretty far along. It gets us everything we needed to get.” Trump, however, would not say if the deal involved the #UnitedStates obtaining ownership of #Greenland.

A CNN reporter asked #Trump if the deal he was pursuing with European leaders still involved the #US owning #Greenland. Trump hesitated, looking up as he thought of what to say, before answering: “It’s a long-term deal. It’s the ultimate long-term deal.” Asked how long that was, he replied: “Infinite. There is no time limit. It’s a deal that’s forever.”
Trump said the framework of a deal relating to Greenland would be put out “pretty soon.”
