I hope NATO does get involved. Not the same way Trump hopes though...

Canada has three of top 5 longest sniper kills. Ukraine has the top spot. We just need to export a small chunk of metal at high velocity into a golf course.

[–] Embargo@lemm.ee 53 points 1 month ago (4 children)

I hope you're prepared to pay an extra 25% on that export.

[–] notabot@lemm.ee 15 points 1 month ago (2 children)

No, no, the importer pays the tax. You might want to send them a little extra if you want to help them out with that.

It'd definitely be a more worthy destination for my tax dollars than where they're currently going. I support this initiative.

I don't disagree, but... how?

A simple bang is all that's needed.

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 50 points 1 month ago (6 children)

I don't actually think that is all that's needed. Trump is a symptom. He didn't write Project 2025. He's not the one with these ideas.

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 23 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Taking away a valuable tool that he is would be a start, though.

Correct. Killing Hitler would not have stopped WW2, and killing Trump doesn't solve America's problems.

I would party for a week solid if that fucker caught a bullet, but it's not a solution in itself.

  1. Joining and organizing within your local community to create connections with others is incredibly powerful, will lay the groundwork for effective resistance.
  2. We can effect things drastically with a general strike. This can massively impact their income streams, and can bring a government to its knees if done on a large enough scale.
  3. Join the IWW and attempt to unionize your workplace, so that the general strike is even more effective.

If we put in the work, we can resist this and we can win. Join up with allies while we still can easily!

Seriously. Fucking do something.

[–] LuxSpark@lemmy.cafe 11 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Yes, but all the people who could and should have prevented this did nothing. What would you suggest a normal person do?

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

There are a lot of illegal things you can do, and a lot of things republican supporters openly do that involve violence. I’m not going to openly implicate myself but use your imagination.

[–] ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net 11 points 1 month ago (10 children)

There have been some successful non-violent revolutions in history, and there's a strong case to be made that not exhausting those options could be a huge mistake.

We still have, right now, completely un-used tools at our disposal, such as unionizing en masse and deploying a general strike, which is insanely powerful (capable of bringing a nation to its knees if done widely enough), while being far less dangerous and more appealing to the general populace than any other means.

No. You don't understand. Imagine 1930s Germany. Imagine what those German citizens must have been like. That's America, but possibly more stupider.

Dumbass doesn't even understand that NATO is a DEFENSIVE pact and that Denmark is a member. Not wanting to give you their territory doesn't count as an attack.

Also if he really cared about security he would have strengthened his ties with his allies instead of pushing them away. The US is far less secure now that it was 3 months ago.

Not wanting to give you their territory doesn't count as an attack.

Having been married to a narcissist for 11 years, yes, that's literally how they think. My ex would fly off the handle if I told her "no" to sex or whatever it was that she wanted. She'd throw out all kinds of excuses about how it was my fault somehow, and even during our divorce, when we were literally separated, she forced her way into my room (we still lived in the same house for a few weeks) just to "cuddle" and would throw a fit if I didn't give in. Remember, we were getting divorced. I had to put my foot down hard on that line. And yes, she would get violent.

Orange presidents with tiny dick syndrome calling a country's refusal to give up territory an "attack" is not much different, fundamentally.

NATO will do exactly nothing to help the bloated orange shit-weasel take over Greenland.

[–] NoSpotOfGround@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

That's not true, I'm sure NATO will answer NATO's call to help kick NATO's ass.

Trump added that the result was very good for the US and 'the person who did the best is a very good person as far as we’re concerned'

I've read the article and it's just gibberish. I can't even conclude how they came to this headline.

The mighty US of A needs NATO to invade an island with 56,000 inhabitants?

Is Wakanda located on that island or what?

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

Maybe he meant against us not supporting us?

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 38 points 1 month ago

Which side does he think NATO would support?

[–] Zier@fedia.io 35 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Greenland and Canada are NATO countries. You cannot attack or forcefully annex another NATO country. If he leaves NATO, he will be up against Canada & Europe. The US is one Twizzler away from having the entire world sanction & boycott it.

The more I look into Greenland situation the more I am thinking there's already a psychological campaign in play to get them to be part of the US. They're legitimately trying to get away for the Danish government and there's a strong US presence there already with military bases. I suspect the target is to get them to hand over the keys not only willingly but ask for it.

Given that he regards the Department of Justice as his personal litigators, it makes sense that he’d regard NATO as his enforcers.

[–] Ferroto@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago (3 children)

An attack on one is an attack on all. I always wondered what would happen if one NATO country attacked another.

He wants Greenland the same way as Putin wanted extra countries. How many countries did Russia invade between 2000 and 2020?

National security is just a pretext. Greenland already contributes to your national security you king. They’re a part of NATO. You already have force projection up there if required.

Denmark's PM should slap slap challenge this idiot to a duel at dawn. Her normal-sized hands would be to grip the pistol better and actually raise it to aim.
