What I’d like to know is, why does Trump feel so insecure unless he takes one of Denmark’s islands? What is he afraid of?

And if it’s not him, and someone else is feeding him this garbage… why?

I mean, there’s plenty of time to forcibly take Greenland AFTER the world begins to fall apart. So why now?

The EU’s anti-coercion instrument is the bloc’s most powerful retaliatory tool. While it has never been used, the ACI was designed primarily as a deterrent, and if needed, to respond to deliberate coercive actions from third countries that use trade measures as a means to pressure the policy choices of the EU or its members.

Those measures could include tariffs, new taxes on tech companies or targeted curbs on investments in the EU. They could also involve limiting access to certain parts of the EU market or restricting firms from bidding for public contracts in Europe.

Herr come the sanctions.

Also, fn hate Bloomberg's paywall bullshit http://archive.today/mNIv7

If Macron's party wants to help him with that, they should listen to what Cory Doctorow said at 39C3 about the best way to retaliate against the tariffs: legalizing the reverse-engineering of US tech.
