I would also advise you a bit more to avoid whitewashing certain topics. And, please don't take it too harshly. I know you are volunteers working hard to get us some relevant news and I love you for that.
1. When you talk about territorial tensions in the world, you mention China. Not even in the context of South China Sea or other disputes, but Taiwan. Taiwan and China both have been claiming each other's territories since Americans gave control over Taiwan to Chinese fascists. There are plenty of claims like this around the world (e.g. India and Pakistan) and nothing new happened within the topic. So, not sure why you focused on this one.
At the same time, Israel is annexing parts of Syria, West Bank and Gaza, bombing Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen and Iran, committing genocide and you don't mention the country at all.
Turkiye as well occupies bigger and bigger parts of Syria. It would also be interesting to investigate the topic of Turkish settlers in Syria...
The US also threatens to annex Canada, Panama and occupy Northern Mexico.
2. I understand that you mention Russia and the US in the context of competition in the Artic and Greenland, but... China? Have some fact-checking on China, otherwise you sound very sinophobic and people will not trust you on other topics.
Good you got funding from the Danish government, but it doesn't mean you must share Mette's sinophobia and indifference to genocide.
3. When you discuss Greenland, especially Greenlandic-Danish relations, the key word is "colonialism". The crimes committed by Denmark on Greenlandic population deeply resonate on Greenlandic population. That's why many, if not most Greenlanders despise Danish language, culture and people...
Colonialism is also a reason, why police officers on Greenland are largely Danes on short-term contracts, paid a lot of money. Money, which is later billed to Greenland, with an attached complaint that Denmark is "helping" Greenland with money.
Understanding of Danish colonialism is also the key to understanding why so many of us, your readers, experience so much racism and different nuanced form of oppression that are often difficult to grasp, but always cause a very real pain.
Very interesting newsletter again. Thank you!
