Rules (2024-08-30)

  1. This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
  2. No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
  3. Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
  4. No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
  5. Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
  6. If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
  7. Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
  8. Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
  9. No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
  10. Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.

(This list may get expanded as necessary.)

Posts that link to the following sources will be removed

Unless they're the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any "thinktank" type organization, and non-Lemmy social media (incl. Substack). Don't link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com

(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)

Ban lengths, etc.

We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.

If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.

If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the primary mod account @EuroMod@feddit.org

Denmark singles out US as a threat – a new geopolitical reality (www.risknet.xyz)

As per Firefox translation Swedish to English (original article in Swedish, based on Danish newspaper reports that are behind a paywall). Article at risknet.xyz contains links to sources.

In a historic change, the United States is identified for the first time as a security threat in Danish intelligence service DDIS's annual threat picture report. The report, published in early December, highlights that the United States, along with other major powers such as Russia and China, is using its economic and technological power to influence smaller states – even its allies.

The report marks a clear departure from previous Danish security policy analyses, where the U.S. has been regarded as a guarantor of Denmark and Europe's security throughout the post-war period. Now the United States is instead highlighted as an actor whose actions partially undermine the rules-based international order.

[…]

β€œIt hurts deep into the soul to read the report. It’s a worldview that’s put on end,” [Kristian Mouritzen] says.

USA: We will take Danish territory. Denmark: USA is a threat.

Seems legit.

It is unfortunate. USA did a lot of great things to humanity. And a lot of shit. I hope that they will succeed to learn from it and restore / create their internal peace (both individual and societal). I really want USA be a friendly ally and a trustworthy partner in making world a better place. And in the meantime let's strengthen Europe, cut many dependencies and rise as the new peaceful and trustworthy global superpower - that's the European destiny πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί

All of humanity should acknowledge America is a threat to humanity.

People and nations should be planning how to defend themselves. We know American citizens won't give up their privileges and will basically turn a blind eye to their government. Here in America we just soak up the entertainment drama and use it as escapism even though it's really happening.
