Greenland is a REAL deal. When the U.S. president is moving publicly and with real intent - against NATO. That is not 'puffery' and/or 'distraction'. That's real world demolition and disorder - served up large.

And when history shines back its mirror on this period ... The big mystery will always remain - what on earth were all these people nattering on about .. ? When this narcissistic megalomaniac was dismantling world order in real time .. ?

If anything represents shiny trinkets and baubles here - it is the fixation with Epstein.
