    A few people I work with are huge Trump fans and with the news of taking over Greenland they are fully onboard with it and have been trying to find racial slurs for Greenland people. These people are mentally unstable and need to be removed from society.

      His entire regime is truly evil and rotten to its core.

      But hey, at least we don’t have a brown lady who laughs as our president.

    Trump will encounter a home-grown resistance in the US if he wages war on NATO. It will start a civil war. MMW

    So he’s choosing WW3. If the US attacks Greenland, that is attacking Denmark which is attacking the EU, he’d start a war between allies in NATO. Denmark would cite article 5, it would be war between NATO countries and the US.

      On paper yes, but the reality is that the rest of NATO will likely not react when faced with the prospect of having to fight America. Remember that There are 3-5 more countries with more nuclear weapons than the British and French. USA, Russia, China, and possibly India/Pakistan. … MAGA is playing footsies with Russia, NATO cant survive a war against Russia backed up by a hostile America. They’d call it a day and resign “leave europe alone or we’ll launch the nukes”. everyone outside of continental europe will be fucked, that means greenland, canada, mexico, etc.

      any “war” would be clandestine. Conventionally, NATO sans US would be able to handle Russia, but US and Russia both attacking NATO, NATO loses that scenario 10 out of 10. Right now, NATO is fucked if push comes to shove.

      While its been largely spent, Russia is in a war economy mode. they’ve already pulled the trigger and crossed the bridge on the whole “Sending hundreds of thousands to their deaths” step.

      America has a huge arsenal of ammunition , weapon systems, and logistics ready for war on short notice.

      NATO has neither of those things. They waited until Russia was already fully mobilized for war, and sat on their hands hoping Trump wasn’t going to be the sociopath that he is, They waited this long to finally start making preparations for the possibility of full scale war. In short, they are several steps behind and if the game starts for real, they are at an extreme disadvantage,

    Aka WW3 with America vs The World is not off the table.

    If that happens, only American citizens will be able to stop it.

        Probably.

        That said Trump is likely shooting his mouth off because it normalizes Putin’s actions in Ukraine. Or simply to weaken trust in the US and its alliances.

        I guess we’ll see in the long term.

          I still don’t buy the idea there is method to this madness

          Trump is a spoiled brat who has shown no sign of intelligence. He is running America like he ran all his business which all went to the shitter. The fact he is not in jail and pennyless is a testament as to how terminal American capitalism is at this point

          If Trump wanted to do half the ulterior motives people assign to him, he is going about the worst possible way. He could to a ton more damage by not running his mouth 3/4 of the time

          IMO this is just a naked grift. He is treating other countries like he did his contractors and business partners, extorsion plus “if you don’t like, sue me” thinking most would not see the point. He is too stupid to realise countries are not struggling small business owners not willing to see years of litigation through

          Finally, he may love Putin but I no longer buy the idea Putin has something to blackmail Trump with… What could be released to turn the maga idiots at this point?

            Good point about Putin and the kompromat, however to assume it’s Trump designing these plans is a bad move.

            Trump didn’t design Project 2025, but he’s followed much of it regardless. Trump is a salesman.

            Peter Thiel, Marc Andreesen, Sam Altman, lots of billionaires are invested in libertarian projects, cities, or fifedoms. Lots of them also fund, follow, or push the ideas of Curtis Yarvin about destroying democracy.

            So you’re right, it might not be Putin.

            That said Trump is a Narcissist, and narcissists do tend to care about how they’re perceived… Plus there are people like Victoria Spartz who are now in the Senate, but whom have ties to Russian interests.

            … it’s not always about the kompromat, it’s often just about how many ties around the individual (who have influence on their actions) also have interests in the direction pushed.

      Its not just America.

      There’s an entire transnational criminal syndicate thats posing as, or otherwise taken control of multiple state governments. And America isn’t the only Nuclear Arsenal they’re in control of.

    Any American forces attacking Greenland are committing war crimes. If they listen to trump and go ahead with an attack the American military leaders of any rank will be guilty of war crimes. Let’s see how many generals and admirals are willing to quit sucking trump’s asshole and abide by the law.
