Correct. They Are Growing.

And it must be understood that "climate change" has become a graft long time ago. 

Per Arctic, as Tony promises. The first tell tale sign of this scam is ... Russia. Russians are really good with Arctic, better than anyone else, and Russians build nuclear ice-breakers like there is no tomorrow. Leningrad and Chukotka are next to be floated. 

The two RITM-200 nuclear reactors have been installed on the nuclear-powered icebreaker Leningrad, which is under construction at the Baltic Shipyard. Each of the reactors weighs more than 147 tonnes, is 7.3 metres tall and 3.3 metres in diameter. Specialist lifting equipment was used to move them to their designated locations. They are pressurised water reactors with the steam generators built into the core reactor vessel, which USC Baltic Shipyard says means that "unlike traditional designs with external steam generators, reduces the risk of coolant leaks, reduces the size and weight of the reactor, and simplifies installation and dismantling". The reactors have a service life of 40 years, with seven years between refuelling. They have a thermal capacity of 175 MW, which converts to 30 MW at the propellers, and are designed to withstand 45-degree rolls (sideways tilting while at sea). The keel-laying ceremony for the Leningrad took place in January 2024 and work on the hull and installation of equipment is continuing.

Russians, obviously, do not expect Arctic ice to disappear. You can also be surprised with this data. 

Arctic ice still doesn't want to break record--it ties with tenth or eight or whatever lowest but for some reason it refuses to accommodate this scumbag. Remember? Losers in Reuters gave it this spin:

A 2009 comment by former U.S. vice president Al Gore that the North Pole would be ice-free by summer 2013 has gone viral in tandem with COP26 climate talks in Glasgow. The quote has been used to claim he made bogus predictions. While he did say something similar, the claim misrepresents his statement, which was attributed to researchers. Gore has also since cited other predictions of Arctic ice melting at a later date.

Sure, sure. And who were those "researchers"? Like Al Gore, likely a bunch of illiterate creeps with "degrees" in journalism and political pseudo "science"--no skills, just political agenda from cesspool of the US Ivy League degree mills.  But here we are, in 2026 and Russians who own Arctic in industrial and scientific sense do not buy this bullshit and continue building most powerful ice-breakers in history.

There are NO penguins in Arctic)) Greenland is in ARCTIC. 

Penguins live in ANtarctica and adjacent lands, that is Southern Hemisphere. I sense Ivy League edikeishn. 

Man, What A Show, What A Show))

Politico's EU version is trying to find "responses" to a likely US "acquiring" of Greenland. I want to stress WHY the US really needs Greenland, apart from obvious military utility, it is all about Arctic and its immensely rich continental shelf. 

Once Greenland is acquired, US assets in Arctic almost double. Hence this intent, however unlikely, of the US buying ice-breakers in Finland and then trying to transfer the technology to the US. Well, Politico agonizes))

BRUSSELS — If European governments didn't realize before that Donald Trump’s threats to seize Greenland were serious, they do now. Policymakers are no longer ignoring the U.S. president's ramped-up rhetoric — and are desperately searching for a plan to stop him. “We must be ready for a direct confrontation with Trump,” said an EU diplomat briefed on ongoing discussions. “He is in an aggressive mode, and we need to be geared up.”

Here comes this critical issue--gear up with what? As much as I am critical of the US military, but Europe is a military midget)) Yet, they still consider:

Option 4: Boots on the ground. ... Legally speaking, it’s possible Denmark would be forced to respond militarily. Under a 1952 standing order, troops should “immediately take up the fight without waiting for, or seeking orders” in “the event of an attack on Danish territory.” European countries should weigh the possibility of deploying troops to Greenland — if Denmark requests it — to increase the potential cost of U.S. military action, an EU diplomat said, echoing suggestions that Berlin and Paris could send forces to deter any incursion. While those forces are unlikely to be able to withstand a U.S. invasion, they would act as a deterrent. “You could have a tripwire effect where you have some groups of people who are physically in the way, like a Tiananmen Square-type situation, which would potentially force the [U.S.] military to use violence” or to back down, said Crosbie. But that strategy comes at a high cost, he said. “This is completely unexplored territory, but it is quite possible that people's lives will be lost in the attempt to reject the American claim over Greenland.”

Berlin and Paris!? Berlin and Paris?!!! Troops?! LOL! US Marines will walk over those "troops")) Once Bismarck was asked what he would do if British send troops, he responded he would send police to arrest them. Remarkably, this applies to French and Germans themselves today. It is getting curiouser and curiouser.(c) And pop-cornier and pop-cornier--this one belongs to me))

To Those Who Still Cannot Grasp ...

 ... what happened in Venezuela with Maduro. This is Monroe Doctrine 2.0. Here is the demonstration.

It is by Katie Miller.

Denmark on Sunday made its displeasure known after the wife of one of President Trump's most influential aides posted a social media picture of Greenland painted in the colors of the United States flag.Katie Miller — wife of Mr. Trump's deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller — put the contentiously altered image of the Danish autonomous territory on her X feed late Saturday, hours after the U.S. military operation against Venezuela. Her post had a single word above it: "SOON." Denmark's ambassador to the U.S., Jesper Moeller Soerensen, reacted on Sunday with his own post saying "we expect full respect for the territorial integrity" of Denmark, above a link to Katie Miller's image.

This is your brave new world of which I write now for more than 11 years. The flurry of statements followed kidnapping (yes, the US cannot fight ground war, period) of Maduro and ... none of those matter, especially originating from Latin America. What always mattered, matters and will matter is power. Larch correctly pointed out that in effect this whole Maduro affair is a testimony to US military weakness post-Vietnam with extreme sensitivity to own losses. So, bribing officials and military of third world hellholes and special forces operations aka "regime change" is the extent of it. 

Meanwhile, Denmark should worry since Greenland becomes the next target, a very easy one. But it has to be understood that in case of Iran the only "war" the US can conduct there, again, are some special forces on the ground and hurling stand-off weapons at whatever the target they will deem valuable. US is incapable of conducting the combined arms operations of scale. Plus, in Latin America there are too many people in high places who are eager to offer their services to their North American overlords. That's multipolar world. 

Now get a load of this. Geraniums with Igla. 

That's pretty nasty, you know. For opposing side, especially helos and low flying combat aircraft. After all, Igla's speed is almost M=2 and once enemy's aircraft is within 6 kilometer range it becomes a target. 

Something Tells Me ...

 ... Denmark will part with Greenland. 

President Trump reportedly held a “fiery” call with Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen over the president’s insistence that U.S. control of Greenland is necessary for American national security.  A 45 minute call between Trump and Frederiksen last week spiraled into confrontation, senior European officials told The Financial Times. Trump, at that time the president-elect, was reportedly aggressive and threatened tariff’s against the NATO ally. National Security Council spokesperson Brian Hughes did not comment on the tone of the call, but said that Trump is focused on Greenland as part of the larger competition between China and Russia.  “President Trump has been clear that the safety and security of Greenland is important to the United States as China and Russia make significant investments throughout the Arctic region,” Hughes said in a statement.

This is typical Trump who has very little understanding of Arctic and what it takes to compete there on purely technological level--the US is not even in the same league with Russia there--but the US needs to back decomposing USD with something tangible, and Greenland and its resources (and continental shelf) could come as a mortgage. Meanwhile, new textbook on WW II was published in the US. 

You see, Russian helpers observe in awe how they helped the US to win WW II. 

Something Is Rotten in the State Of Denmark (c)

LOL)) Well, geopolitical reality is a bit more complicated than American politics. But then again, what will Europe do if the US decides to take Greenland? I have the answer--nothing. It is, of course, difficult finding oneself in the position of being an object, but Europe was a geopolitical prostitute since the end of WW II. It is just that it cannot admit it to itself, while sensing own impotence. 

Sorry, Europe--you wanted it, and I cannot say that it is totally undeserved. Far from it. The only thing Europe, which is being driven into the ground by its "elites" and huge portions of population, can hope for is that DJT will have his attention focused on Panama rather than on Greenland and even at that only because the US doesn't have icebreaker fleet required for operations in the Far North. But I see, Ze's mode of communications using profanity is now being well received in European Parliament--another useless and pompous org created to cover up unfolding totalitarianism over most of Europe. 

No! Or Rather, Hell No!

I am on record for more than 10 years--never again the foot of Russian soldier will be set on European soil. 

В парламенте Дании обсуждается возможность обращения за помощью к России в случае агрессивных действий со стороны США по отношению к Гренландии. Депутат от Социалистической народной партии Карстен Хенге выразил уверенность в необходимости таких мер.

«В ситуации крайней эскалации и напряженности нам нужно пойти на крайние меры и обратиться за помощью к России для решения этой проблемы. Я уверен, что наша просьба будет услышана, потому что Россия не позволит Гренландии стать частью США. Для России это так же невыгодно, как и для нас», — передает его слова MK.RU.

Однако Хенге не уточнил, каким образом Россия могла бы защитить Гренландию от американского влияния. Через два часа после публикации своего заявления он удалил пост в социальных сетях.

Translation: The Danish parliament is discussing the possibility of asking Russia for help in the event of aggressive actions by the United States towards Greenland. MP from the Socialist People's Party Karsten Henge expressed confidence in the need for such measures. "In a situation of extreme escalation and tension, we need to take extreme measures and ask Russia for help to solve this problem. I am sure that our request will be heard, because Russia will not allow Greenland to become part of the United States. It is as disadvantageous for Russia as it is for us," MK.RU reports him as saying. However, Henge did not specify how Russia could protect Greenland from American influence. Two hours after publishing his statement, he deleted the post on social networks.

On your own, everything--on your own.
