German Chancellor Merz: It is quite obvious that the Americans have absolutely no coherent strategy whatsoever. There is a sense that a whole nation is being humiliated by the Iranian leadership, particularly the Revolutionary Guards.

There is no way for America to save face in Iran. Backing down will be humiliating. China is moving oil through the American “blockade” and there is nothing the US can do but bluster and posture. International embarrassment. Spectacular weakness and stupidity.

BREAKING: The U.S. bishops’ Committee on Doctrine just issued a formal statement defending Pope Leo XIV's teaching authority on just war doctrine — less than twelve hours after JD Vance told a Turning Point USA crowd the pope should “be careful” talking theology. This is a serious escalation.

And yet it’s even more dumb: Both hospital ships are in dry-dock in Alabama, so they won’t be arriving anytime soon. This is a weird distraction from the Danes medically evacuating a sick US sailor from a US Navy nuclear sub yesterday 9 miles from Nuuk. What was a sub doing nine miles from Nuuk?

So Governor of Louisiana Jeff Landry, who's state ranks dead last in health care for the past 4 years, is joining with Trump, who cut off ACA subsidies to millions, to send a medical ship to Greenland, a nation with universal health care, to "help their sick people". Are ya fucking kidding me?

Trump's delusional rantings for the day, sending a medical ship to Greenland to "take care of the many sick people," who apparently aren't included in their Universal Healthcare System.

Such is the outrage in Denmark over both Trump’s desire for Greenland and disparaging remarks about NATO that one of the country’s leading newspapers devoted their Saturday front and plenty of room inside to the bios of all 44 Danes slain during NATO missions in support of the US
