Greenland is a goner, I'm afraid.
Even worse, with mounting aggression from East and West, and our own right-wing parties handing our enemies the continent on a silver platter, Greenland's fall is going to usher in a century of humiliation for Europe.

Sure. Which country's leader would not bomb, invade and threaten other countries all around the world to distract from their scandal du jour.

That looks like something from Codex Seraphinianus.

It's the only way I could get through Piketty's "Capital in the Twenty-First Century," which is both verbose and repetitive.

I've read his treatise and I liked it a lot, but it appears to be full of wishful thinking. "Disenshittification?" Oh my sweet summer child, enshittification not only keeps getting worse, it seems to be accelerating. Also thinking the world would somehow, magically, unite against Trumpism, that there are cracks starting to form in the American digital hegemony... I don't share this optimism at all.

Surely you cannot compare Argentina to a bloc with almost 10 times the population and 31 times the GDP.
To further illustrate, approximately:

  • Population-wise, the EU is to Argentina as Argentina is to Panama.
  • GDP-wise, the EU is to Argentina as Argentina is to Nicaragua.

Nice picture. Thank you, Sunshine.
To further drive the point home, it could have the US and China kicking around and crushing the little countries in the top half.

Hide the pain, lion.

A lot of things are possible with a knife and a lighter.
