Taken at Gladstone Cove. It's unusual I report on real-life news that doesn't have anything to do with Second Life. But one of the reasons I didn't have much ready on Monday was I was pondering about the news in real life, notably the situation with Greenland and Denmark. For some reason, the American President has been pressuring Denmark to sell the huge icy island, and the Danes at first responded that since it's an autonomous territory they can't just hand it over, but as the demands have persisted and the pressure has been going up, they've expressed more confusion, irritation, then anger, "Why are you doing this? I thought we were friends?"
Denmark and America have been longtime friends and allies, since the end of WW2, and have been part of NATO since it's founding. Other NATO allies have come to Denmark's defense, and the situation continues to get worse.
It's been my goal to not tell people what to think, just present the facts as I see them and let the readers think for themselves. But I've grown up and lived with the idea of my country as the champion and leader of the free world. It is sad and disheartening to see our President acting on the world stage not like a champion, but a bully.
