"Vort eneste våben i kampen er sandhed, oprigtighed og mod; en stærk virkelighedssans og opslutning bag vor komplekse civilisations grundlæggende værdier. Hvis vi ikke genvinder vor moralske og intellektuelle dømmekraft, kan ingen økonomisk eller militær hjælp redde os." Arthur Koestler (1/2)

Touring the Zoo of Risk in Times of Trump - new Insight by me published by the Rabdan Security & Defense Institute. Is 47 a Black Swan, a Gray Rhino, a White Elephant, or a Black Jellyfish? Or perhaps one of the new species: a Bright Peacock, the Lion King or a Caged Tiger? rsdi.ae/en/publicati...

Betyder oprettelsen af Bornholms Regiment, at sansestien på Almegårds Kaserne skal opgraderes? Kan den rumme så mange nye brugere? Er der kapacitet til al den mindfulness? Hvem ved noget?!! @veterandrusianer.dk

Who will explain to Trump that there are no “champagne businesses” in the US? 🥂🍾 Some sparkling wine producers, yes, but… 😑 #terroir

Watching Trump and Vance mock and bully Zelensky in the Oval Office clearly marks the end of an era. How did it come to this? 😔

Anybody can tell me what all the new tariffs will mean to the cost of a GMC McKinley? Asking for a friend.

If you're not at the table, you're probably on the menu

Witnessing the shift from a transatlantic to a transactional 🇺🇸

A short guide on how to identify good allies: - They go to war with you and fight on your side - They take casualties and still remain dedicated - They do not attempt to take over your territory - They refrain from undermining your authority - They will not interfere with your domestic affairs

Dansk forskning i #beredskab og #samfundssikkerhed halter langt bagefter. Nyt call om #hybridtrusler fra NordForsk kan ikke søges af danske forskere som projektledere, fordi Danmark i modsætning til de øvrige nordiske og baltiske lande ikke bidrager til finansieringen. 😑 videnskab.dk/kultur-samfu...

Sagan was a prophet.

Bracing for what the first 100/11 Scaramuccis of Trump’s second term will bring

Am I the only one to see a design connection between the Maria, Königin des Friedens cathedral in Cologne and the Zumwalt-class destroyer? 😳 #flotflyder @veterandrusianer.dk

Denmark is a full EU member, while #Greenland as a an autonomous territory within the Kingdom became one of the union’s Overseas Countries and Territories (OCT) after withdrawing from the EC in 1985, but the EU Commission confirms that 42(7) still applies. www.politico.eu/article/eu-d...

"Das Prinzip der Unverletzlichkeit von Grenzen gilt für jedes Land – egal ob es im Osten von uns liegt oder im Westen. Egal, ob es ein kleines Land ist oder ein sehr großes. Grenzen dürfen nicht mit Gewalt verschoben werden." 🇩🇪🇺🇸🇩🇰🇬🇱 @olafscholtz.bsky.social

My main contributions on the first day of 2025: Almost completing “Mafia: Definitive Edition” (PC) and reading up on the Nazi plans for a Breitspurhbahn linking the capitals of the Greater Germanic Reich. Happy New Year! 🥳

Selv statsministeren er begyndt at preppe, “hjemmeberedskab” kom i Top Tre, da Årets Ord 2024 skulle kåres, og vi har fået et ministerium for #samfundssikkerhed og #beredskab med @torstenschack.bsky.social i spidsen. Hermed erklærer jeg Mission 2024 for næsten fuldført! Godt nytår derude! 🥂🥳

Council of Europe recently adopted new guidelines for both public and private sectors for responding to terrorist attacks. Worth revisiting while still processing the tragedy in #Magdeburg. www.coe.int/en/web/count...

I wrote the scenario for the Danish national crisis management exercise in 2017. It was a about an angry guy who drove a car into a crowd. I really hoped it was outdated. 😢
