That’s why France 's De Gaulle wanted its own bomb in the first place: he was convinced the US would not risk mutual annihilation if the USSR really invaded western Europe. See also how shy the west has been shy with supplying Ukraine because Russia kept threatening to use a nuke in the area.

France nuke’s umbrella for Greenland would be but a PR op only. Neither Macron nor anyone after him would ever nuke the US over Greenland.

But so you know well that a party committing to change the voting system will have a change of heart after realizing the current system brought them to power. (I’m in Canada too ;) ).

This illustrates the issue of having only 2 political parties. You used to have left and right. Then the right extended all the way to batshit crazy nazi while losing touch with the centre-right, and it collapsed to keep only t̂he nazis. Meanwhile the “left” extended to centre then all the way to the economic right.

Now you have a nazi party and an everything else party, and people ask the last to “get their shit together”, as if socialists would sort out their differences with neo-liberals and conservatives over a quick diner and build a common ground plan.

That just can’t work.

The only good answer to that:

“No, that won’t happen. So I guess we’re in this for another year. Here’s the list of wapons that we will deliver to Ukraine, as well as spare parts and ammo that go with them. And here’s the list of new sanctions we’ll apply against Russia. See you next year, except if you have a change of heart”.

But that’s not going to happen…

It’s the second attempt for Greta. The first ship was sunk, probably by a drone. This time there is more press coverage though, so maybe this time they won’t risk killing anyone.

I clearly remember these concerns being reported when Musk got the antennas installed in the first place.

Now is the time to remind everyone involved about this very minor issue that was never addressed.
