The US has told Denmark to "calm down" after the top US diplomat in Copenhagen was summoned over claims that Americans had been conducting covert operations in Greenland.

Denmark's public broadcaster DR quoted sources as saying the aim was to infiltrate society and promote its secession from Denmark to the US, although it was unable to clarify who the men were working for.A White House official would not confirm an influence campaign was underway, but said: "We think the Danes need to calm down."

Denmark's foreign minister has summoned the top US diplomat in Copenhagen, following a report that American citizens have been conducting covert operations in Greenland.

Denmark's public broadcaster DR quoted sources as saying the aim was to infiltrate Greenland's society and promote its secession from Denmark to the US, although it was unable to clarify who the men were working for.

Danish intelligence warned Greenland was being targeted by "various kinds of influence campaigns".Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said "any attempt to interfere in the internal affairs of the Kingdom [of Denmark] will of course be unacceptable", and the US charge d'affaires had been summoned in that light.

Denmark's PET security and intelligence service said in its assessment that influence campaigns would aim to "create discord in the relationship between Denmark and Greenland".

This could be done by exploiting "existing or invented disagreements" either with "traditional, physical influence agents or via disinformation", it added. PET said it had strengthened its presence in Greenland and co-operation with its authorities.

DR's report on Wednesday gave details of a visit by one American to Greenland's capital Nuuk, saying he was seeking to compile a list of Greenlanders who backed US attempts to take over the island. The aim would be to try to recruit them for a secession movement, DR said.
The United States cannot be trusted, even with Trump gone this sort of thing will not be forgotten by it's so-called allies.

And we get to the end of the decade with Ocarina of Time taking an overwhelming win despite 1998 being a god tier year for gaming. But what about 1999? Personally I don't think 1999 is as strong as the past two years so I think we'll see a more even spread of results here.

Aoko turns up in Tsukihime and is the mentor to the main character, Shiki. Touko turns up in Kara no Kyoukai and again is the mentor to the main character, Shiki (not the same person) Confusingly, there are multiple characters named Shiki in the Nasuverse.

Fate/stay night doesn't have a remake but it did receive a remaster on Steam if that's what you're thinking of. Tsukihime did get a remake for the first half of the story, no idea when the second part is coming out.

For what it's worth, I also like The Last Jedi - it, alongside the Mandalorian Season 1, seem to be the only Disney Wars properties trying to do something new. It's not perfect by any means, you could cut out everything with Finn and the plot doesn't change but I enjoyed it so much more than the other two films.

Force Awakens was a boring, if serviceable retread of A New Hope, Rise of Skywalker was atrocious, and things like Boba Fett, Obi-Wan, Rogue One and Solo prove to me that the franchise is circling the drain of nostalgia pandering. It can't escape it - everything has to relate back to the original trilogy in some way.

I gave up on watching new Star Wars after Mandalorian Season 3 was a disappointment. Not watched Ahsoka (I literally couldn't care less about Filoni's orange waifu) or Andor (I loathed Rogue One).

Lavrovs remarks further indicate that the Kremlin has not softened on its maximalist positions on Ukraine: that it becomes a neutral rump state; drastically reduces its military; and abandons its NATO membership aspirations after Russia is finished with it.

Moscow wont agree with collective security guarantees negotiated without Russia Russia will accept if the security guarantees to Ukraine are provided on equal basis with the participation of countries like China, the United States, the United Kingdom and France, Lavrov said in a press conference, after meeting the Jordanian foreign minister.
Russia creates outrageous demands (to basically have Beijing and Moscow decide Ukrainian security policy), to which Ukraine will obviously deny. Trump will then say that Ukraine is the obstacle to peace and pull support. I can see this coming from a mile off.

https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/trump-interrupts-talks-with-european-leaders-call-putin-says-eu-diplomat-2025-08-18/

Trump went on Fox this morning to clarify why he did this:
He says his call with Putin yesterday didn't take place in front of European and Nato allies. "I thought that would be disrespectful to President Putin," he says
Personally, I'd say leaving a meeting of your closest allies to go and talk to a murderous dictator is more disrespectful.

As the old one reached 500, thought I'd make a new one.

Zelensky and European leaders met Trump at the White House today. At least it wasn't a big as disaster as last time but Trump says that there won't be a ceasefire as Putin doesn't want one. Trump is pressuring Ukraine into giving up land that they can't give up or he'll blame Ukraine for not wanting to end the war.

Russia has already thanked America for helping to bring an end to the war and declared the United Kingdom as the aggressor who has been controlling Ukraine. The UK has been living rent free in Putin's head since he read about the Crimean War.

  • Permanently give up the Donbass (including bits that Russia doesn't currently occupy) and Crimea and Putin will freeze the front line
  • Ukraine can never and will never join NATO or the EU
  • American troops will enter Ukraine to deter further aggression from Russia
