The US are already free to have bases on Greenland.

In fact the US has closed dozens of bases on Greenland since the 40s.


How is this click bait and rage bait? I think the article is quite reasonably telling the events leading up to and the response from Denmark.

The president says Greenland needs to be a part of the US, and he wont rule out using military force.

The wife of one of his cabinet members tweets a picture where Greenland belongs to the US and captions it "SOON".

How is Denmark supposed the respond when the president is actively threatening them?

You have been acclimated to having a president who says crazy things. This is not normal.

I think almost nobody sees it actually happening, but just the fact that he is saying these things is insane.


Exactly, it is the whole 'normalization of deviance' thing all over again.

It can happen in multiple ways, doesn't need to be an invasion.

I also think there is no way this is actually going to happen, but its obviously big news in itself that Trump and people in his circles are not willing to rule it out and are actively hinting at it.

Its kind of ridiculous that we’re all just supposed to make our own interpretations when the president is just talking shit again or being serious.


For all we know this was always discussed in certain circles. Trump could just be the first one to talk about it publicly.

It's not discussing wanting Greenland that is wrong, its threatening an ally about it through media instead of going about it in a diplomatic and friendly way. The motives also don't seem rational at all, but more about boosting Trumps ego and legacy. Trump obviously have an imperialism itch he is trying to scratch.

This is incredibly damaging for the USs reputation and alliance with the rest of the western world. A lot of European leaders are now one after one posting on X that Greenland belongs to Denmark.

Not excluding taking Greenland using military force would never have happened without Trump as president.


What? The whole Promoting European Greatness section is obviously an attack on the EU. They want to break it up.

It states the goal is to help Europe operate as a "group of aligned sovereign nations" rather than a unified political or economic entity.

It explicitly calls for "cultivating resistance to Europe’s current trajectory within European nations."

It claims that the EU and other "transnational bodies" are responsible for a "stark prospect of civilizational erasure."

It attacks the EU’s regulatory framework, calling it "economic suicide" and "stifling regulation". Suggesting that the U.S. will prioritize trade and technology sharing with "aligned countries" that reject these EU standards, creating economic incentives for member states to break away from EU-wide rules.

It emphasizes building up "the healthy nations of central, eastern, and southern Europe"—specifically those that "want to restore their former greatness"


How is it stupid for Europe to accept assistance from China if the US starts a war with Europe?

Locking in to a China solution rather than standing alone. Just changes one master for another

The US doesn't stand alone either?

It's impossible to stand alone and still have access to all top tech in todays world. US will obviously rely much more on china without EU trade.

EU is currently dependent on US for software/cloud.

US is dependent on EU in advanced machinery, precision tooling and high end manufacturing equipment.

The US imports massive amounts of chemicals, drugs and vaccines from the EU.

Both regions would look to china for replacements probably.

A major downside and risk for Europe is that they would have to get the share LNG from the US from elsewhere, as it's not self sufficient energy wise, but this would most likely not come from China.


Well its not just her, its also the president. Maybe read the article next time.

You realize that gas imports to Europe from Russia is down 80+% since pre invasion?

Russia is obviously having quite a hard time from sanctions caused by their actions.


I might have experienced one of these deadly bugs, although I got way to high measurements, not too low.

I bought one of these monitors for fun, because I wanted to see how my blood sugar reacts to different foods. The freestyle libre 3 plus.

After wearing it for some time I woke up one morning to sky high blood sugar, talking 13+mmol/l. My manual measures showed around 4.9mmol/l.

The device was essentially not functioning anymore. I sent the company an email, filed out a report, returned the device and received a new one in the mail.


There is another post here stating a German article saying 'false highs' which is a whole lot more dangerous than false lows. This can cause people to overcorrect and go low. This said, the same CGM should have warned about the low.

As always if your expected blood sugar isn't matching up with measured sugar levels do a finger stick as recommended by the manufacturer. There are a lot of potential device to human interface issues that can happen.


Yeah doesn't make sense, if anything its the opposite.

Burn in is probably a valid concern though.


Yep SameSite lax, and just make sure you never perform any actions using Get requests, which you shouldn’t anyway.


Unsubscribe often need to be GET, or at least start as GET


list-unsubscribe header sends a POST. Probably makes more sense to just use a token from an email anyway.


The way the list-unsubscribe header works, it essentially must use a token when one click unsubscribe (i.e when the List-Unsubscribe-Post: List-Unsubscribe=One-Click header is also passed) is used, and since GMail has required one click unsubscribe for nearly 2 years now, my guess is all bulk mail senders support this. Relevant section from the one click unsubscribe RFC:

> The URI in the List-Unsubscribe header MUST contain enough information to identify the mail recipient and the list from which the recipient is to be removed, so that the unsubscription process can complete automatically. Since there is no provision for extra POST arguments, any information about the message or recipient is encoded in the URI. In particular, one-click has no way to ask the user what address or from what list the user wishes to unsubscribe.

> The POST request MUST NOT include cookies, HTTP authorization, or any other context information. The unsubscribe operation is logically unrelated to any previous web activity, and context information could inappropriately link the unsubscribe to previous activity.

> The URI SHOULD include an opaque identifier or another hard-to-forge component in addition to, or instead of, the plaintext names of the list and the subscriber. The server handling the unsubscription SHOULD verify that the opaque or hard-to-forge component is valid. This will deter attacks in which a malicious party sends spam with List-Unsubscribe links for a victim list, with the intention of causing list unsubscriptions from the victim list as a side effect of users reporting the spam, or where the attacker does POSTs directly to the mail sender's unsubscription server.

> The mail sender needs to provide the infrastructure to handle POST requests to the specified URI in the List-Unsubscribe header, and to handle the unsubscribe requests that its mail will provoke.


I was thinking more about the unsubscribe footer links still very common in emails.


I don’t think CSRF has anything to do with those?


The endpoints serving those links can't be protected as well. Unless they serve a form that posts, which may not be legal if it requires extra clicks
