CM Thiede<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.green/@christineburns" class="u-url mention">@<span>christineburns</span></a></span> go ahead and call me crazy, take my observations as a wee <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/cavepainter" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>cavepainter</span></a> chicken little type, but aside from this being a mess, it plays into the global rearrangement Trump wants to combat China&#39;s Belt &amp; Road Initiative <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/BRI" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BRI</span></a> with.</p><p>It became evident with <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/AUKUS" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AUKUS</span></a>. Anyone recall who was leading the charge on that? I&#39;ll let you look it up. Know where they are now? Yep, look it up. Anyway, it&#39;s coming down to West vs East now.</p><p>Again, crazy cave painter assessment here:</p><p>Enough have seen/heard squawk now about Panama, Canada and Greenland, right? Add AUKUS to that equation and what do you get? EU, on its own to hold back the armies that want to stretch their boundary to the ocean. Brexit meant the UK got its moat back between it and that action. Now, they&#39;re a safety jump away from Greenland (&quot;Denmark, just sell already,&quot; says Trump) if necessary.</p><p>But, as LeVar Burton would say, &quot;Don&#39;t take my word for it.&quot;</p><p><a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/01/08/trump-military-greenland-panama-canal/77515413007/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">usatoday.com/story/news/politi</span><span class="invisible">cs/2025/01/08/trump-military-greenland-panama-canal/77515413007/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/ReadingRainbow" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ReadingRainbow</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/LeVarBurton" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LeVarBurton</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/GeoPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GeoPol</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/FolkifiedPoprageousness" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FolkifiedPoprageousness</span></a></p>

I boost and share all sorts of things and may use visual aids to drive home a point or two. I want to grow as a human and hope you do too.</p><p>Life long learner, so many interests, so little time. A good chunk of it I seem to spend editing my posts for spelling and grammatical errors. Nice that one can do that! Fighting auto crap, that wants to auto on when it feels like it, sucks!</p><p>My big, fat, increasingly arthritic fingers can&#39;t keep pace with my thoughts, or should I say, they&#39;re losing the battle against the &quot;intelligent&quot; devices trying to do the talking for me.</p><p>It&#39;s as if they&#39;re actually fighting against me to create coherent sentences. So maddening at times, I get severely close to throwing them at walls!</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/JanesAddiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>JanesAddiction</span></a> says it better and <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PerryFarrell" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PerryFarrell</span></a> has one of those voices you can&#39;t help but pay attention to.
