"It gave cold comfort to a watching world that fears the future of the transatlantic alliance now lies in the hands of a modern Caligula."

Trump, the first truly mad emperor, since the Roman era.

1/🧵theguardian.com/us-news/2026/j…
Yes, we've had plenty of deranged despots, Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao, Napoleon etc (there's too many of them to count). But whilst all were mad in their own way, you'd to go back to Roman times, to find one as obviously florid as Trump. Trump is an old-fashioned lunatic.
2/
It says there is something seriously wrong with the US, that such an away with the fairies lunatic like Trump, is allowed to stay in office, whilst so openly telling the world, he's totally detached from reality.

There are scores of armchair, right wing experts who think the US could easily, militarily take over Greenland. See this video by a military strategist and former Finnish Army officer, who explains why it would be very foolish for the US to invade Greenland.

1/🧵
In short, Europe has vastly more troops and forces trained in Arctic warfare, than the US, and far more equipment adapted to the conditions in Greenland. The US has hardly any.

These right wing nutters, have no understanding of the conditions in Greenland.
2/
It would be relatively easy for the US to capture Nuuk, and a few strategic airfields, because of its huge military forces.

But what next?

The US would not control 99.9% of Greenland, and nor would they control 2/3s of its population.

'Trump sent a letter to Norway’s prime minister Jonas Gahr Støre telling him that “considering your country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace.”'

1/🧵theguardian.com/world/live/202…
Trump was never interested in peace, and the liar never stopped 8 wars, he just falsely claimed he did. All because of his demented racist hatred of Barack Obama, and he got something Trump will never have, a Nobel Peace Prize.
2/
Trump is America's very own Caligula or Nero for the modern age, a mad wannabe Emperor of a non-existent empire, making lunatic pronouncements, and he should be in a lunatic asylum for the criminally insane - for public protection.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee made a major error in awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to Maria Machado, and failed to properly vet her. Just after the awards, several journalists dug into her past, finding she consorted with fascists, and violence.

1/nobelpeaceprize.org/press/press-re…
This is the latest in a long line of inappropriate awards to political figure who then went on to promote violent military action and repression. They include Henry Kissinger, Barack Obama and Aung San Suu Kyi. That is not an exhaustive list of inappropriate awards.
2/
The Norwegian Nobel Committee needs to stop awarding Nobel Peace Prizes to mainstream politicians, unless there is exceptional evidence that they have renounced violence. Mainstream politicians always use false rhetoric and are compromised on morals and ethics.

Almost certainly, Donald Trump's attempt to take over Greenland, has got nothing whatsoever to do with security, and this is complete misdirection.

It is about an aim to create an American empire, to get control of all mineral and oil reserves in the area.
1/🧵
We can be quite certain of this, as opening up mineral and oil reserves is almost certainly what the oligarchs and big corporations that back Trump want. It is a clear strategy, and is almost certainly what lies behind his attempt to annexe Canada.
2/
It can clearly be seen, that this was Trump's main pre-occupation with Venezuela, oil, not regime change or a particular regime. He wants US control of Venezuela. We can't be certain, who or what lies behind this.

I want to demonstrate Donald Trump's highly abnormal pathology, with one issue, that is being treated as a bit of a joke. However, as he is deadly serious about it, we should take it seriously. His obsession with getting a Nobel Peace Prize.
1/🧵
The first, and most important aspect of this obsession, is that Trump can't claim he is doing this for America. This is purely about Trump's vanity and ego. There would be no material net gain for America, if it happened.
2/
The second, and most important point, is that Trump is objectively unfit to even be considered for a Nobel Peace Prize. Trump has been threatening to annexe, or militarily invade Canada, Greenland, Mexico and South American countries from day one of his second term.
