Trump says US will 'go as far as we have to' to get control of Greenland
-
He's planning to withdraw from NATO. Otherwise it makes no sense. USA already has more or less free access to build any military base they want there

Which makes it extra stupid that Trump is demanding that he own Greenland for security reasons. The Americans can already expand their base there whenever they want.

and Americans will struggle the most.
I keep trying to encourage Americans to put in the effort to stop Trump and his sycophants/minions from escalating this trade war into a shooting war.
So far they either ask me for a detailed plan to save their country from itself or say its pointless to even try...
Some of us are taking steps to resist, including but not limited to protests. It is clearly not anywhere close to enough people, but the discontent and resistance is growing. Sadly, most people are shockingly apathetic about such things, yet act like sportsball is the most important thing in the world.

I think it’s really dangerous to keep dismissing the Greenland talk as a distraction. We have learned the lesson dozens of times before not to dismiss anything he says because it’s just “crazy talk.”
Taking control of Greenland and Canada would give a US-Russian alliance complete control over the Arctic circle, which has been a tactical goal of Putin’s for decades.
The day could come very soon when the US will take military action against Europe on behalf of Russian interests, and the rest of the world should take it seriously and prepare.
Every time an American claims something is just a distraction I get more annoyed. Threats of invading sovereign nations is not just a distraction. It’s pretty fucking alarming as a citizen of one of those nations and the dismissal of it is offensive

Danish news today talked about Trump and his people maybe not being aware of this. They are sure that the US consulate on Greenland has informed them but they are not confident that the administration even knows this.
I think that they are either being naive, kind or sarcastic

Believe me, I see the danger. I harbor no illusions that they wouldn't go that far or that it's just a distraction. Nothing is just a distraction, everything they say is an admission. I guess my point was Americans need to keep their eyes on this Signal thing because of how it could blow up but Trump knows how to distract so this week it's Greenland, and next time it will be Canada again. When they have the power and the courts are nutted, then it won't be a distraction but an action.
If they push this signal thing it just might crack. Then maybe set them back a few months or a year. Then we can have the midterms and maybe just maybe get a handle on some of this shit.
I have had 4 double shots of espresso since lunch so I am rambling lol good luck homie everyone is going to need it.

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.
-
Really now? Including World War 3?
-
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.
-
Instead of building a wall, they should build a dome around their country
May I please leave before they seal themselves in? Please?
I warned this for years and no one listened. I voted and lost. May I leave?

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.

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.
-
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.
Push back how?

When the hell will the military arrest this stinky Orange Turd as an enemy to the state?

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.

Trump and the Trump administration are behaving like assholes all over the world.
USA has never been so universally unpopular.Flight passangers from Canada to USA are down 70%.
Tesla sales in Europe are down 50%.The boycotts have begun, and numbers like these may be common for 2025.
Trump will cost many jobs in USA, and increased inflation, and it seems an economic downturn too.Ok but you missed the part that the libs are mad.
