"If I don’t steal your home, someone else will steal it"
(For those OOTL, look up Yaacov Fauci)
These mfs are so full of shit.
"The fact that they had a boat land there 500 years ago doesn't mean they own the land"
Do I even need to point out the hypocrisy of a US American saying that?
Hey, our boat landed here 419 years ago. That's totally different, see.
I mean, Danish boats also landed in the future US territories at that time too so I guess it's time for the US to be under Danish rule. Finally, some civility will arrive.
He's barely an American. He's the grandson of an immigrant, son of an anchor baby and an immigrant, and an anchor baby himself.
Oh, and his grandfather also had "bone spurs," and fled to the US from Germany to avoid WWI. He started a brothel in Alaska, and got run out of town by the local population just after WWI ended. Then his criminal pimp of a grandfather went back to Germany, was arrested and kicked out of the country, and went back to NYC where he naturally fell in with the mob.
"Not going to have Russia or China as a neighbor"? I guess hes going to have to give Alaska to Canada or something if he wants to achieve that.
I'm all for that
But we are Russia’s neighbor……. Alaska is right next door.
He probably thinks that Alaska is on the far left and Russian is on the far right because he doesn't understand globes.
I am sick of this disgusting human being.
Who needs Russia for a neighbour when you have Russia in your President
Russia is a neighbor to Alaska.
Yeah, Sarah Palin can see it from there and everything.
Greenland is not neighboring the US, it's neighboring Canada.
China or Russia can't take over Greenland as they don't have the power projection to do so, Greenland has a literal US base on it and Greenland is part of Denmark who is a member of NATO.
Also a boat landed in the US 500 years ago too so that means the US doesn't own the land either. Time to give it back to the Natives.
Also, you know what DOES neighbor the US? Fucking Russia.
You can't just, like, own land, dude.
Please, don't remind him. He's not looking at us right now.
china is more interested in just natural resources that they can extract more eaisly, greenland is just too far away for them.
Greenland is part of NATO. Russia attacking NATO is (was) equivalent of starting was with US and 31 other countries.
US attacking Greenland will destroy NATO.
The US attacking Greenland has got to be treason, right?
The North Atlantic Treaty is a full on treaty ratified by congress, not just some rinkydink international “agreement” like the Paris climate accords. A ratified treaty supersedes all other state and federal law second only to the constitution.
Article 5
The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all and…
Now I’m no constitutional scholar, but I’m pretty sure that “all” means “ALL”. Wouldn’t an attack against Greenland be equivalent is the eyes of the law (whatever that’s worth nowadays) to an attack against the US, even if perpetuated by USians?
Any of this is only true if anyone has the will and ability to do something about it
"Pro-Peace Ticket" BTW.
If he doesn't want Russia as neighbor, he probably shouldn't invade a country that has Russia as neighbor.
Maybe we need to give up Alaska... I hear you can see Russia from your backyard!
and to top it off... if we don't do it someone else will...
Umm... isn't that the whole point of these treaties... Literally the whole concept is superpowers behave with other developed nations because... all other nations are supposed to draw the line after one nation starts making signs of attacking. It's literally what the lesson learned in the world wars was... was to band together, we did a really bad job for Russia/Ukrain, but I really hope the world actually takes some firm action if trump seriously moves forward.
He doesn't see those as having any value. Treaty enforcement won't hurt him personally, so there's nothing stopping him.
If the treaties are even enforced in the first place.
That child rapist is a dumb insufferable cunt. Why has no one taken him out...
I have no idea on why you guys would vote him in once, let alone twice.
I didn't forget what a total cunt he was in his first term. And I judged the us population harshly for it. This second term is unforgivable. Just unforgivable. Generations of people will judge you on this, for either voting for him or enabling him by not voting at all. The majority of you are to blame for this.
American elections aren't democratic, they're kayfabe contests that are highly controlled and manipulated.
Can someone please just kill this man already?
Or at least say "Hey...dumbshit...Russia is ALREADY your neighbour. It's called Alaska fuckhead."
So word for word what Putler said about Ukraine.
Same exact logic the USSR used against Poland. Imperialism is always the same everywhere, sadly.
He rapes children
„If we don‘t do it, someone else will!“ or „To stop evil we must be even worse!“
Right out if the mass destruction/AI hype playbook. Villains love to use that excuse.
yep. You were on a boat aswel 500 years ago, except you killed all the natives and took their land. idiot
They know they have limited time and are running out of opportunities to do all their fascist nonsense so they're cramming it all in as fast as possible.
This is all great, it's a sign that the whole debacle is crumbling. I have no idea what's going to happen with Greenland, but whatever the outcome it won't impact the US any worse than what we're already experiencing.
But we have a day of great celebration ahead of us, and most bets place that day as happening sometime this year.
Yes, exactly. It's still an incredibly dangerous time for all of us, but they're going whole hog now because this is their last chance, and those in this shitstain of an administration know that if they don't consolidate power now, somehow, they never will.
I don't follow many political analysts, but I do follow Heather Cox Richardson because I admire her rigorous historical scholarship and style of presentation, and she agrees with you. She puts the rough timeframe as "between now and May," as in, if they don't succeed by May, they won't succeed. It will just crumble, as you say.
For myself, they did themselves no favor with the Minneapolis murder, because I've got the women I know who have watched the videos telling me that the asshole who shot her is the typical embodiment of pretty much every abuser they've ever personally had to deal with, and they all see some part of themselves in her. If that's the case, and it seems so from the nationwide protests that have sprung up everywhere with next to no notice, then they have most certainly pissed off the wrong crowd and narrowed their window of opportunity even further.
I certainly hope so.
Heather Cox Richardson is a fantastic political/historical analyst who I listen to on the regular, but this particular prediction seems pretty widespread right now among everyone paying attention.
I think things accelerated when Zohran Mamdani and many other leftist/progressive local political leaders swept the country. It was a confirmation of what the administration feared was coming, a mid-term wipe-out. That alongside the very real possibility that Trump could literally die at any moment, and they don't have remotely the political capital secured behind JD Vance to keep the flame of kayfabe alive, it's making them move recklessly and plow through rules and regulations to a degree that will cost them a lot later. After Trump is gone, they're all going to blame him for all the laws they broke and all the terrors they inflicted, but it won't stick if they go too far and they already have gone too far, so it's panic-mode.
The conservative base is, at best, tepid or ambivalent about Vance, at worst they hate his pasty ass. He certainly doesn't hold anyone's attention, he represents everything that Trump defied, he talks like a politician and doesn't ooze with the hate and contempt that makes Trump weirdly human to a lot of people. They try so hard it's hilarious, like that "I hate turkey" fiasco that fell to crickets and tumbleweeds. I think they thought they would have made more progress in securing a new right-wing leader by now, but events like Charlie Kirk and other high-profile divisions in the party have only eroded things worse for them.
Without that kind of raw political capital that Trump had, in terms of a fervorous, nationalist, dumb-as-fuck band of millions of armed nutcases who will support literally anything their leader says, the current administration and on through house and the judicial branch are royally fucked.
He saved Nato? He's the single biggest threat to Nato, lol.
What is this blathering dickhead talking about?
ALL he has ever done is shit all over NATO and threaten to pull out.
His aides need to put one of his Depends over his mouth with how much fetid shit is just pouring out.
Russia is going to invade a NATO nation with an active American military base on it? Seems like that angle is already covered....
Stop saying this is about American security interests in Greenland, you already have that covered, with help from NATO. Conquering Greenland would weaken the defense situation by alternating all the NATO allies.
Trump wants more land, and depending on the projection of the projection of the map he is looking at, he may think he's conquering something the size of North America.
Oh, and it conveniently completes surrounding Canada with USA, seems like maybe Canada really should just submit to the USA...
Warming may make that a very attractive hub for ships...
Oh and of course some untapped resources in the ground ..
regardless of the choices our government makes on that front, ill personally be dying a canadian citizen. and everyone i know personally whos able bodied feels the same way.
we are already gathering the things we may need for a prolonged invasion, for safety purposes ill leave it at that.
but long story short, the united states will never financially recover from this.
Russia and China have zero chance of taking over Greenland in the way he plans what he means it is possible China at the very least may get some access to resources.
Right, if I don't attack our allies China and Russia will... wtf
It was really a lot better when they made an attempt to stop him being himself.
