The EU moves to devour another former country!>Iceland has "nothing to lose" by negotiating with the European Union over membership, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said on Monday, as the country prepares for a referendum on restarting talks to join the bloc.>Icelanders will vote on 29 August, more than a decade after negotiations were suspended. The referendum comes as US President Donald Trump continues to insist to take control of the vast Arctic territory from Denmark.>Icelandic Foreign Minister Thorgerdur Katrin Gunnarsdottir said the EU's support for Greenland during US President Donald Trump's push to take control of the territory had shown Iceland the value of joining the bloc.>Gunnarsdottir said NATO member Iceland, which has no standing army, sees joining the European Union as a way to strengthen its security against potential threats from Russia.The beast opens its jaws to consume another victim, will Icelanders throw a spear into the beast's throat or will they walk in like sheep into a slaughterhouse?
>NATO member Iceland, which has no standing armyRemind me of the purpose of NATO?
since when does denmark own iceland
Reminder to our Icelandic friends: the referendum is only there so you don't sue your government to an international court or revolt. You might have a chance if 95% of the population votes "piss off" or if you organize a total strike for weeks or something similar.You VILL get shoehorned in.You VILL get blackmailed into taking tens of thousands of migrants.You VILL live in a cashless society with digital euros and get debanked for wrongthink.You VILL forfeit any industry you might have had to "save the climate".You VILL have all your politics tailored by bureaucrats in Brussels who want you dead. You VILL get 24/7 surveillance in your cars.You VILL get all your messages read by god-empress Ursula.You VILL scan your passport and face to use the internet.You VILL own nothing.Und you VILL be happy.

>>539339636Now that's a trustworthy face. That's a guy that doesn't have 5 dead hookers stored in a freezer, for sure.
>>539339073Iveland speed running into browning their country. Won't take long with their population either. Couple of years max. Don't do it lads.
I sometimes have the impression that Russia is working with either the US or EU, and all of this is being done to fast-track some imperial dreams of whoever is in charge at the top.
>>539339119>Remind me of the purpose of NATO?Ensuring that every place in the world has diversity, tolerance, gay pride parades, and a constant fear of Russia and China for easier control.Classic evil empire stuff. Except NATO is made for liberal gays, Russia offers an alternative for retarded conservatives, and China offers one for edgy wannabe commies.>>539340255Smart man. Look how synchronized they all are in introducing the digital gulag, and just 10 years ago they pretended to be horrified by the systems in China that they are all replicating now. Really makes you think.>>539340225>Don't do it lads.This. It's one of those news articles that made me genuinely sad.
>>539340552>Smart man. Look how synchronized they all are in introducing the digital gulag, and just 10 years ago they pretended to be horrified by the systems in China that they are all replicating now. Really makes you think.Yeah. They call this "Digitalization" or "Digitization" in many countries, I've noticed.When Denmark had the EU presidency in 2025 they made the remaining 27 EU countries sign a treaty which showed that every country now has an equivalent to Denmark's "Ministry of Digitalization", either called "Ministry of" or "Department of" and then words like "Online Safety" or "Digital Accountability", or "Digital Governance" and so on.These departments have been quietly raised since around 2018, and lurked until this moment.This is some UN shit. I think I saw somewhere that the Rockefellers have money in the whole Blackrock thing, and we already spent years complaining about the "public-private" endorsements from World Economic Forum back then. What I can't square is, is who has the whip in the "Public-private" partnerships. Is this Governments with the power to say "No more free market economy. Work with us, and we'll work with you" or is it the private companies who are going "We can better show governments how to run society. Let us work with you, and make the rules for you."I think it's neither. But it hardly makes sense. How can you compel so many private business owners into a political agenda otherwise? I don't even think Flock Safety is "Surveillance-capitalism". All of this seems like CIA-type of shit to me.
>>539339073Don’t do it Iceland, protect your sovereignty, language, and culture by building and maintaining a standing army. Leaving your future in the hands of others is always the preamble to disappointment. Take Greenland for example, if we wanted that land, we’d take it, no problem. Denmark has no ability to protect that iced over shithole or to grow it economically.
>>539340815It's the CEO of Pfizer/Meta/Google/Palantir/whatever walking up to von der Leyen and saying "Here's a couple million euros, all you have to do is implement tyranny using our products so we make billions back".Remember when she made deals over SMS with Pfizer and then suddenly all messages disappeared and news stopped reporting it all over the EU?
>>539341295>building and maintaining a standing army.The entire population of Iceland is 500k people, which is half the population of our capital city. That might be a problem.
>>539341930You’re going to have to prioritize specialization and technology even more so then. The Vietnamese did that well against a superior military (technology-wise) with their tunnels, traps, and knowledge of the land. Ukraine is doing that to Russia with their drone technology. Just have to understand your enemy and how to find the chink in their armor.
>>539342188They're literally an island in the middle of nowhere. If anyone even cared to invade them, getting troops there would be an absolute nightmare. Thousands of kilometers of sea on every side, that's also the reason nobody ever invades the USA. Only Canada and Mexico could, theoretically.
>>539342390I believe the country that can dominate low earth orbit satellites, will have the most success in upcoming conflicts. Especially if there are nuclear capable payloads just waiting for a button to be pushed to be launched from orbit to anywhere on Earth. No invading army, no trench warfare, no drone evasion, just hellfire raining down from beyond the clouds.
>>539342723The real winner will be the country selling those weapons to everyone else.
