BERLIN, Jan 14 (Reuters) - Germany will send 13 soldiers to Greenland on Thursday as part of a reconnaissance mission with other European nations, the German government and defence ministry said on Wednesday, following demands by President Donald Trump for Washington to have control of the island. The mission, which comes at the request of Denmark, will take place from Thursday to Saturday, aiming to explore possible military contributions to bolster the security of the region, a defence ministry statement said. This could, for example, include maritime surveillance, it added. Trump has repeatedly said in recent weeks that Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark that is strategically located and rich in minerals, is vital to U.S. security, and that the United States must own it to prevent Russia or China from occupying it.

One had a badge hanging around his neck and she could make out “HS” on it and may have said “Homeland” on it, leading her to believe it was a Homeland Security badge. “They did not identify themselves,” she said Monday. “They just starting asking questions and showed me a picture and asked if I knew who this person was.” She didn’t and told them so. “They said, ‘This is for your safety. We need to find this person,’” according to Lugert-Thom, who said she doesn’t know why they came to her home. ::: “They specifically asked me if I knew where the Hmong families lived on my street and in the neighborhood.” Lugert-Thom responded, “I don’t know anything about that” and she said they then asked, “Well, what about the Asian families?” She also told them she didn’t know, so they would leave. She said she posted about it on Facebook because “I was a bit shaken and a bit shocked of what I was asked to do.”

In particular, I like the part where you build your deck from a set of themed sub-decks before the start, and then it’s up to you to find the synergies between those themes. Not sure if there’s an existing term for that mechanic. I think it may count as a form of a deckbuilder, but editing the deck’s contents isn’t part of the main game loop. Maybe a deck drafter?
