Here's what The Counteroffensive is reading today:

2M #Russian and #Ukrainian #troops killed, wounded or missing.

This comes with other CSIS reporting which estimates that #Russia has suffered “more losses than any major power” since #WWII.

…Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch said the sacrifice of #British & #NATO #troops deserved respect & she pushed for #Starmer to ask for an apology from #Trump .

"It's complete nonsense," Badenoch said. "I spoke to parents of young men who have lost their lives. It is a disgrace to denigrate their memory like that.

"There is too much careless talk from President Trump. He clearly doesn't know the history of what happened. We mustn't have these sorts of throwaway remarks."

Far from staying away from the front line, #Britain & #Canada placed #troops in the most dangerous provinces of all - the #Taliban heartlands of #Helmand & #Kandahar.

In Helmand, the scene of the heaviest fighting, British troops were joined by Danish & Estonian soldiers. All suffered casualties in the heat of battle.

Most of the 457 #British #troops who died serving in #Afghanistan over a period of nearly 20 years were killed in Helmand.

Hundreds more suffered injuries & lost limbs - including Cpl Andy Reid who lost both his legs & his right arm after stepping on an improvised explosive device (IED) in Afghanistan.

"Not a day goes by when we're not in some kind of pain, physically or mentally reflecting on that conflict," he told BBC.

#Trump was "wrong" to diminish the role of #NATO & British #troops in #Afghanistan, Downing Street has said, after the US president claimed #allies stayed away from the front line.

Trump claimed that NATO sent "some troops" but "stayed a little back, a little off the front lines", sparking outrage from #veterans & their families.

The mother of severely injured soldier Ben Parkinson deemed it the "ultimate insult".

The #defense ministry points to the welcoming of German #troops as proof of #Europe ’s support for its #military buildup. “The fear of a weak and indecisive Germany is bigger than the fear of a strong #Germany,” Pistorius said. archive.is/mzzHv#selection-157

🚨"For the 1st time in US history, the archbishop responsible for Catholic pastoral care of US service members said military officers may be morally obligated to disobey a sitting president’s orders.

Archbishop T Broglio said a Trump-ordered invasion🚨of Greenland would violate Catholic teaching & that Catholic troops could refuse to comply."

#Trump thanks you for your attention to these matters

A stunning #military intervention in #Venezuela. Telling the NY Giants which coach to hire. Threats against #Iran, #Denmark, #Greenland & #Colombia. Posing with someone else’s #NobelPeacePrize. Dangling the potential of deploying #US #troops in #Minneapolis. Flipping off a critic. Announcing an aggressive round of #tariffs. Threatening political enemies.

For Trump, this blizzard was just the first half of January.

#Macron has taken a harder line than most #EU leaders in his response to Trump's #Greenland threat, pushing the bloc to activate its most potent #trade tools against the #US & sending French #troops to Greenland in support of #Denmark.

#Trump has also taken offense at France's reluctance to join a proposed “Board of Peace”, a new organization that he would lead. Paris has voiced concern over its impact on the role of the #UnitedNations.

UK ‘must prepare to kick #US #troops out of country’, Zack Polanski says

The #UK Government must urgently make a plan on how to remove US #military bases from #British soil in the wake of Donald #Trump’s threats over #Greenland, Zack #Polanski has said.

The leader of the #GreenParty of England and Wales, Polanski also called for the UK Government to:

Scrap a £240 million deal with US firm #Palantir

Is that the American plan too? If not, then what is it? This would not be the #occupation of Iraq, which was difficult enough. #US #troops would need to force Greenlanders, citizens of a #treaty #ally, to become American against their will.

For the past year, American #allies around the world have tried very hard to find a theory that explains #Trump’s behavior. #Isolationism, neo-#imperialism, & #patrimonialism are all words that have been thrown around.

Sunday’s statement, as well as some European countries sending #troops to #Greenland for a Danish #military training exercise, appeared to be a step away from that strategy.

The unusually strong joint statement from #Denmark, #Norway, #Sweden, #France, #Germany, the #UK, the #Netherlands & #Finland said troops sent to Greenland for operation “Arctic Endurance” pose “no threat to anyone.”

@drrjv it is also an #IllegalOrder and will get #US #troops sentenced (at least if they get caught by #German troops or enter #Germany) for the #CrimeOfAggression

Much like the Sarollah units, which are deployed by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards as an internal security force.
