If you want to torture yourself it's a 1 hour podcast with Matty Yglesias and the third guest works at something called the American Immigration Council. Despite that name - he's another total turd worried about birth tourism.

Back in the day, I used to do a policy podcast at Vox with Matthew Yglesias, who is now the author of the excellent Substack newsletter Slow Boring, and Dara Lind, who’s now a senior fellow at the American Immigration Council.

Denmark boosts Arctic defence spending by $2.1 billion, responding to US pressure | Reuters

COPENHAGEN, Jan 27 (Reuters) - Denmark said on Monday it would spend 14.6 billion Danish crowns ($2.05 billion) boosting its military presence in the Arctic, following renewed, opens new tab interest by U.S. President Donald Trump in controlling Greenland, a semi-autonomous Danish territory.

This month, Trump said Greenland is vital to U.S. security and Denmark must give up control of the strategically important Arctic island. Following more than a decade of drastic cuts in defence spending, last year Denmark allocated 190 billion Danish crowns ($26 billion) for its military over a 10-year span, part of which has now been allocated to the Arctic.

Denmark, while responsible for Greenland's security and defence, has limited military capabilities on the vast island, widely regarded as a security black hole. At present, Denmark's capacities include four ageing inspection vessels, a Challenger surveillance plane and 12 dog sled patrols, all tasked with monitoring an area four times the size of France.

The deal includes funding three new Arctic navy vessels doubling the number of planned long-range surveillance drones to four, as well as satellite surveillance, Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen said at a press conference. The political parties agreed to set aside more money for the Arctic in a deal that will be presented in the first half of the year.

The U.S. military has a permanent presence at the Pituffik Space Base in northwestern Greenland, a strategic location for its ballistic missile early-warning system, as the shortest route from Europe to North America runs via the island.

A good watch about when the slide into authoritarianism crosses the Rubicon and how we should respond.
