I don’t want Greenland, I just want you to stop bombing kids and work on our Healthcare. Why on the fuck are you even looking at Greenland???
Best I can do is a Central American shooting war.
Goddamn we suck so hard right now.
Don’t even have to ask if we are the baddies
Yeah, I think that’s one of the scariest things. Previous presidents have done a lot of terrible things, but there’s always been a basic rhetoric of morality- at oeast a pretence that official policy us “the right thing”.
The US’s latest bunch of clown have openly hateful and dishonest language, without any sense of shame. I don’t even think we’ve seen the beginning of the level of cruelty a country can achieve when it suddenly abandons any rule of law or accountability.
“but there’s always been a basic rhetoric of morality- at oeast a pretence that official policy us “the right thing””
That’s what they taught me in school. It’s absolutely bullshit. This country was built on genocide to perpetrate slavery. It’s a warmongering nation that destroys other countries to ensure its own economic dominance on the world stage.
I can’t believe so many people voted for this deranged game show host.
All of a sudden the conservative rhetoric is that indigenous Greenlanders are mistreated by the Danes and that’s unfair; they need America’s help.
That’s such transparently stupid bullshit. If they believed that they’d start by helping indigenous Americans. It sickens me that so many people are idiotic enough to either believe this or just not care.
It’s sickening and fucking enraging. It puts my mind for a spin.
I wonder how much of Regressive rhetoric and propaganda comes straight out of the heritage foundation. Where is the epicenter of the cancer?
These fascists need to dangle 🥰
When the hell will the military arrest this stinky Orange Turd as an enemy to the state?
They’re on board with him. Invasions create job security for them. The military won’t care until they’re told to fire on Americans, and even then a large part won’t care, as long as they’re firing on the “wrong” kind of people.
There is no way this lunacy ends in a civil arrest.
While Hedgeseth runs the Pentagon? Never.
If he actually orders an invasion of Greenland I’d put the odds at around 12%. My guess is around 60% the military will refuse to carry out the order (it would be after all in violation of the War Powers Resolution unless congress approves), then 80% chance Trump will back down. Of course that’s if he gives the order, my guess of that is around 30%, reducing the odds of a greenland-related coup to around 4%. In reality the most likely path is that once the military explains to Trump that they want congressional approval, he’ll lose interest and go on to scaring us some other way.
Complicity tends to be the norm until things get really bad.
a strange part of me wants to see this go as badly as possible because that’s how much I hate Donald Trump and all of the Americans who voted for him and the ones who didn’t vote. but that’s me being an angry psychopath right? I shouldn’t feel this way or want these things. they’re really bad
I have full confidence that the US Military could take Greenland, I don’t have confidence that the US could deal with the international fallout that would come from it.
That depends. Has Russia started a land war across the entire Eastern front at the same time?
Then it might be a bit tough for Europe to do anything about Greenland. It’s almost like the whole ‘we need to take Canada’ rhetoric is pre-emptive, knowing Canada would be the most dangerous remaining opponent to such a plan, should Europe be busy… for some reason. Take Canada and Greenland at roughly the same time. Tie them down while Europe is busy. The US ends up owning Greenland. And, if things fall out wrong, Canada, too - though it might not be a primary goal.
From that point, Russia and the US divide Europe between them.
Is this an insane plan? Yep. Would it work? Doubtful. Is it the potential thinking of the fascist dickheads in charge, despite that? I suspect so.
Does Russia have enough male population left to fight a big war? They’ve killed off a good chunk of them in Ukraine already.
yes
I’m in a similar boat. I hate that these people have turned me into someone who has such disdain and hatred for individuals. I hate that they’ve made me into someone who wakes up everyday with a deep-seated desire to read about their deaths.
I fucking hate it. I don’t want to be that person.
I’ve developed misanthropic tendencies over the last couple of years.
I find this lyric sums it up pretty well

I would like to believe not that the worst happens to the USA, because of the damage that could do globally. But, I do hope that if Trump tried to take Greenland unprovoked that the citizens would not stand for it.
A hope that is quickly dwindling…
there’s nothing that makes me think that anyone would stop him. The entire path of the country would simply shift indefinitely, as per the principles of democracy
It’s all fun and games unless you’re in the pointy end of the stick
I wonder if Americans will wake up and start to push back when they and their families start dying for this stuff. Taking over other countries means death and not just to those who are being taken over.
It took soldiers freezing and dying in Stalingrad to realize Hitler didn’t care about them.
Push back how?
You lack imagination.
By playing a wholllllle lot of Minecraft ;)
Nice try, Donvict. You and your coward yes-men have their incompetence signal exposed and the distractions aren’t working anymore. Please resign! We need Republican Senators to grow a spine, be pro-USA, not tolerate incompetent national security, and impeach this loser.
Im out of the loop on this. Why does the US want greenland?
Whole lotta minerals that will get a lot easier to exploite as the planet warms.
Mining minerals to turn into phones so I can read about how bad of an ecological impact it is to mine minerals to turn into phones.
Same reason he just cut Australia out of an illegal deep sea mining contract and why he’ll cut the western saharans out of their homeland and take the minerals from Morocco.
Cause he’s starting a super edgelord team of billionaires who’s trying to stack the deck for the next 200 years.
his bois require more minerals
Can this fucker ever say anything that actually means what he says. I swear to fuck, every fucking thing out of this asses mouth is something that can be taken however he wants it. I understand WHY he does it that way but fuck am I tired of it. Its been barely two months. Holy fuck.
It seems you still have a lot of fucks to give. I’m tired of it too. Some days I’m all out of fucks.
So what he’s telling us is that he’s wanting to fight a war on two fronts: one from within and one from without. I see. Very well then. He’s made his bed.
Really now? Including World War 3?
Come on UK. We need a Bond. James Luigi Bond to right this ship.
Nah bone spurs!
