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?
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.
Thinking about why the US is so keen on Greenland: It’s only relevant for them if they intend to make enemies out of the EU, because they already have all the access they need. But only as long as they are allied with Europe.
It’s clear where this is headed. Russia is not the only reason why Europe is rearming.
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
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.
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
Hanlon’s Razor doesn’t apply to fascists.
They are going to cut the map up ww2 style, US gets the americas with green land and China and Russia split the rest. Russia takes Europe, and China gets the pacific. All the rest will dissapear. They may find a middle east partner for that region, and then exploit Africa.
The plan is easy:
- USA take Canada, greenland and everything up to Panama for Security Reason.
- Russia take back some part of Europe because they are talking Russian.
- China take South Korea with North Korea and Taiwan because it’s China anyway…
Easy plan for megalo-dictators

why the US is so keen on Greenland
Testing the invasion waters with something most EUs will not want to risk their lives over, and then he doesn’t need to justify what he has on his airbase there.
That is also why he wants an ICBM defense mesh, because realistically that’s the only chance Europe has to cripple us in a fight.
Hardly. There are many ways to “cripple” the US without need to resort to a simple-minded military slugfest.
They could act to support Trump’s next reelection bid, for example. That’d be more devastating to American power than a nuke.
Oof, truth bombs.
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.
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.
While Hedgeseth runs the Pentagon? Never.
Complicity tends to be the norm until things get really bad.
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 ;)
These fascists need to dangle 🥰
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
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.
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 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
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 used to see beauty in people But now I see muscle and bones”

It’s all fun and games unless you’re in the pointy end of the stick
Really now? Including World War 3?
Please, Europe, just take this as a declaration war and attack the US now to nip this in the bud.
The sooner this child is stopped, the sooner the world can improve.
Kind of the whole point of nuclear dissuasion is that we are not, in fact, going to ever do that. And ignoring the existence of nukes (lol), attacking the US on their hometurf is such a monumentally stupid idea people still wonder what went through the Japanese High Command’s mind 80 years ago.
Stop asking Europe for help, because you’re not getting it. You’ve alienated your allies and broken your democracy beyond repair. Either use that 2nd amendment of yours to the fullest extent of its spirit or STFU with the “pwease stop him we’re scawed :(((” rhetoric. We have way more reasons to be scared because we don’t live next door to white cishet male Americans to shield us from his madness. Stop with the victim blaming. Either you stop this child or he starts a war with your assent.
If Trump was only an America problem, I would say the same thing you are saying.
I’m fine if the world attacks the US just enough so that Trump recedes to only the US.
What I am saying is that if Trump is making threats to the world, the world should take it seriously and deal with it now instead of letting him push boundaries without repercussions. His threats are going to just get bigger and hurt more people than when the threats are smaller.
The world needs to be on guard and protect itself.
The worst part is that he is completely unhinged and I can easily imagine launching some nuclear nukes towards Europe.
And americans will cheer him on with their fat fists in the air.
This is definitely a ‘spare the rod, should the child’ situation. We need a spanking!
You don’t mean this, do you? The EU attacking the military on which their individual armies depend, the greatest military of the largest economy on earth, would be incomprehensibly stupid. It’s utter fantasy, anyway. A dystopian fantasy that would involve more Europeans dying than Americans, that is if it wouldn’t devolve into nuclear war.
EDIT: not sure why I’m being downvoted for commenting on a fantasy of violence. I don’t think „please start World War III” is fun banter, sorry.
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.
