A reminder that as the US continues to threaten countries around the world, fedposting is to be very much avoided (even with qualifiers like “in Minecraft”) and comments containing it will be removed.

NATO infighting? You love to see it, folks.

The latest incident of America’s satrapies becoming increasingly unhappy about their mandated kowtowing involves, of all places, Greenland. As I’m sure most people here are aware, Greenland is an autonomous territory of Denmark with a degree of geopolitical and economic importance - the former due to its proximity to Russia, and the latter due to the proven and potential reserves of minerals that could be mined there. It’s also been an odd fascination of Trump during his reign, now culminating in outright demands.

Trump has called for negotiations with Denmark to purchase Greenland, justifying this by stating that it would be safer from Russia and China under America’s protection. Apparently, Norway’s decision to not give him the Nobel Peace Prize further inflamed him (not that the Norweigan government decides who receives the prizes). He has also said that countries that do not allow him to make the decision - which not only includes Denmark, but also other European countries - will suffer increased tariffs by June, and that he has not ruled out a military solution.

This threat has led to much internal bickering inside the West, with European leaders stating they will not give in to Trump’s demands, and even sending small numbers of troops to Greenland. The most bizarre part of this whole affair is that the US already basically has total military access and control over Greenland anyway, and has since the 1950s, when they signed an agreement with Denmark. There are already several US military facilities on Greenland, and B-52 bombers have famously flown in the vicinity of the island (and crashed into it with nuclear bombs in tow, in fact). Therefore, this whole event - in line with his all-performance, little-results presidency so far - seems to be largely about the theatrics of forcing the Europeans to continue to submit to his whims. I would not be surprised if they ultimately do sign a very imbalanced deal, though - the current European leadership is bound too tightly to the US to put up even half-hearted resistance.

This is all simultaneously occurring alongside the Canadian Prime Minister’s visit to China in which longstanding sore spots in their bilateral relationship are being addressed, with China reducing tariffs on Canadian canola oilseeds, and Canada reducing tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, as well as currency swaps between their central banks, among many other things. It seems no accident that Canada’s reconsideration of their relationship with China is occurring as Trump has made remarks about turning Canada into the next US state, as well as the demand for the renegotiation of the USMCA.

The Zionist Entity's Genocide of Palestine

    Morocco is considering Pakistani offers for JF-17 fighter jets, drones, training aircraft and weapons systems

    The first gain from the new Rabat-Islamabad cooperation: Morocco is among the countries contacted by Pakistan regarding potential military equipment acquisitions. According to the London-based Reuters news agency, citing sources involved in the trade discussions, Rabat is considering proposals for JF-17 fighter jets developed jointly with China, training aircraft, drones, and various weapons systems.

    Pakistani authorities have not provided any specific details on the content of the discussions. However, the Minister of Defense Production, Muhammad Raza Hayat Harraj, confirmed to Reuters the existence of talks with several countries, while emphasizing their confidential nature and the fragile nature of the diplomatic balance. He indicated that “deliberations are taking place, but they could fail under international pressure,” describing the negotiations as “carefully guarded secrets .” He added that “numerous requests have been received, concerning equipment for the air force, munitions, and specialized training.”

    Towards the establishment of a permanent framework between Rabat and Islamabad for military cooperation

    The rapprochement between Morocco and Pakistan is not limited to the study of industrial proposals. Islamabad and Rabat plan to establish a lasting institutional framework to organize their defense relations and structure their military cooperation. During an official visit to Morocco from January 12 to 14, Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif met with Abdeltif Loudiyi, Deputy Minister in charge of National Defense Administration. As we previously reported, the two countries signed a memorandum of understanding to govern their military relations. The Pakistani minister explained that “the agreement provides for the establishment of an institutional framework for permanent defense ties,” adding that “the memorandum will open new avenues for cooperation in various defense and security sectors, including military training, the exchange of expertise, capacity building, and other joint actions.” Mr. Asif also announced that broader discussions between delegations would be held to deepen cooperation in areas deemed priorities by both capitals. Morocco and Pakistan have long enjoyed close diplomatic, military, and economic relations, strengthened by high-level visits and numerous bilateral agreements. In April 2025, the ground forces of both countries conducted the third edition of their joint military exercise. In November 2024, Major General Mohammed Gadih, Inspector of the Moroccan Air Force, met with the Chief of Staff of the Pakistani Air Force, Air Marshal Zaheer Ahmed Baber Sidhu, to explore opportunities for cooperation in the aerospace sector.

    Operational recognition of Pakistani equipment and the financial argument put forward to Rabat

    Pakistan’s arms industry now boasts the coveted “battle-proven” designation, earned during a major air engagement with India last May. Pakistani squadrons deployed JF-17 fighters alongside newer Chinese J-10 aircraft. According to analysts interviewed by Reuters, this operational experience has increased the credibility of Pakistani equipment among states seeking alternative suppliers after the disruptions caused by the war in Ukraine and conflicts in the Middle East. Reuters specifies that “countries are looking for new supply chains after the disruptions caused by the war in Ukraine and conflicts in the Middle East” and that “Pakistani weapons appear as a viable option after their involvement in a large-scale air battle against India.” In addition to Morocco, other countries mentioned include Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Ethiopia, Nigeria, and authorities in eastern Libya led by Khalifa Haftar. According to the same sources, Islamabad has initiated discussions with thirteen states, six to eight of which are at an advanced stage. Pakistani authorities also emphasize a financial argument, pointing out that while some American or European platforms offer superior technological performance, their cost far exceeds that of Pakistani equipment. According to his statements reported by Reuters, “Western options, while sometimes more technologically advanced, cost more than three times the price” of a JF-17, which costs between thirty and forty million dollars. He emphasized the interest shown in aircraft equipment, munitions, and training systems. Reuters also reports that its journalists consulted six sources involved in trade negotiations, three former air force officers, and a dozen analysts, who believe that attention to Pakistani equipment has increased significantly. Several of them nevertheless caution that “discussions do not necessarily lead to the signing of contracts” and that Pakistan will have to contend with diplomatic and industrial constraints in fulfilling any potential orders.
