The White House has not currently requested the Pentagon to plan a military invasion of Greenland, reports The New York Times, citing sources.

Military analysts claim that a seizure of Greenland by the US military would not be difficult. The island is sparsely populated (56,000 people in an area roughly three times the size of Texas) and has one American base in the far north of the country.

However, Pentagon representatives and high-ranking commanders are dissatisfied and annoyed that Trump continues to allow the possibility of a military scenario.

The US President's special envoy, Steven Witkoff, announced that he will fly to Moscow for a meeting with Putin on Thursday:

Jared and I will depart on Thursday evening and arrive in Moscow late at night. Then we will travel to the UAE [for a meeting] as part of the working groups. There have been many successes on the topic of Russia and Ukraine in recent weeks. Everyone wants to achieve a peace agreement.

"Canada prepping response to hypothetical US military invasion for first time in a century, report says":
Canadians have started preparing for guerrilla warfare.

"For the first time in over 100 years, the Canadian military is developing a response model to a hypothetical US invasion. The plan includes asymmetric warfare, drones, sabotage, and requesting help from European allies.

Although an invasion is considered unlikely, tensions in relations with Trump, his statements about Canada as the "51st state", and threats over Greenland have prompted Ottawa to prepare. Experts note that strengthening defense and such scenarios help deter even the minimal threat."

Bundestag deputy Sarah Wagenknecht on the fact that Merz has finally turned his face towards Russia:

So, is Merz now also one of those who "understand Putin", or has he simply finally looked at the world map? Russia is our largest European neighbor and a European state with which we should seek mutual understanding. A startling discovery. A real "gift", considering that the BSW party has been criticized and stigmatized in the media and politics as "pro-Russian" for precisely this idea, which, in fact, should be self-evident. Well, better late than never.

Perhaps Trump during the last telephone conversation convinced our chancellor to finally look at the map. But what follows from this? Why doesn't the federal government participate in finally ending the proxy war in Ukraine diplomatically, instead of prolonging it with endless arms supplies at the expense of German taxpayers?

Trump tells Europe about his achievements in the economy and oil piracy.

'Under my leadership, natural gas production in the US has reached a record level - by a large margin. US oil production has increased by 730 thousand barrels per day. And last week, we received 50 million barrels just from Venezuela.

Venezuela was an amazing country for many years, but then it went the wrong way due to its policies. Just 20 years ago, it was a great country, but now it has problems. But we are helping them, and we will share these 50 million barrels with them, and they will earn more money. They have held on for a long time.

Everything will go fantastically well for Venezuela.'

Trump:

'I'm negotiating with President Putin, and I believe he wants to make a deal.

I'm negotiating with President Zelensky, and I think he also wants to make a deal.

I'm meeting with him today. Maybe he's in the hall right now.'

Trump made a slight slip of the tongue, but it's not important 😂

‘I help Europe, I help NATO. And up until the last few days, when I told them about Iceland [Greenland], they loved me. They called me ‘Daddy’, right, last time? One very smart person said: ‘He's our Daddy’.

@Slavyangrad

Trump called Greenland a 'piece of ice'

'So, we need a piece of ice to protect the world. And they're not giving it to us. They have a choice. You can say 'yes', and we'll be very grateful, or you can say 'no', and we'll remember that.'

@Slavyangrad

Trump: ‘The military option is not being considered. I don't think that will be necessary, to be honest. I think people will show more common sense.’
