Here in The Curragh with the Defence Forces where Minister for Defence has announced again that the NDP money will go to radar and counter drone tech. Spotted these legends training in “good infantry weather”. Will have a report shortly. TheJournal.ie

Niall O’Connor TheJournal.ie €19m for anti drone caoability - is a pittance. €12m for a Sky Ranger turret alone - then you have to stick it on a vehicle. We need layered defence - soft kill not enough as Ukraine has shown.

Quinzil du Plessis @ToyotaSA GAZOO Racing Global I'd love to do it but it's pretty wild

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth have tried to silence me for speaking out. Today, I’m fighting back because this isn’t just about me. This is about the rights of all retired veterans and all Americans, and I’m not going to let this Administration take those away.

À la demande du Danemark, j’ai décidé que la France participera aux exercices conjoints organisés par le Danemark au Groenland, l’Opération Endurance Arctique. De premiers éléments militaires français sont d'ores et déjà en chemin. D'autres suivront.

The White House has threatened our Ally everyday this week. Greenland and Denmark are our Allies. We should take their comments seriously. Any attack on our Ally will be catastrophic and disastrous… Congress will not tolerate it. And, it will be bipartisan.

The White House Is this the official X account for the White House? If so—fixed for you.

Congress is supposed to hold the executive in check, but Trump acts like a wanna-be authoritarian and gets away with it because Washington Republicans chose to roll over to protect their jobs. It’s time to put them out of a job, and that’s what 2026 is all about.

Mark Warner Trump alienated our NATO allies for years with insults, extortion, and admiration for dictators. Now they're sending troops to Greenland without us—because they no longer trust America under his leadership. This is the isolation and weakness he delivered. Catastrophic.

Troops from European countries are arriving in Greenland to defend the territory from us. Let that sink in. And now Trump is setting tariffs on our allies, making you pay more to try to get territory we don’t need. The damage this President is doing to our reputation and our

Thank you, Canada 🇨🇦🇬🇱🇩🇰

We can build walls or we can be more ambitious — and build something better, stronger, and more just.

As great powers abandon rules and values for their own interests, middle powers like Canada have a choice: compete with each other for favour or act together with impact.

We will never forget the sacrifices of those who served in Afghanistan.

For some reason, Trump said his tariffs would bring costs down for Americans. But the data shows what you already know: Americans are bearing 96% of the tariff burden. That's $200 billion coming straight out of our pockets because of him.
