Living under Trump 2

[Renegade7]

Denmark is a founding member of NATO so an attack on Greenland is declaring war on the rest of NATO.

It would be the end of NATO as we know it because they wouldn't want that smoke.

I'm not advocating this, but I can't think of many things more unstoppable then an expansionist US.

OK, even if you can dismiss NATO as legacy, the EU is real and probably won’t take kindly to one of their members being attacked. Germany and France have already told Trump to STFU.

The irony of course in Trump’s new interest in Greenland and Canada is that because of climate change areas up near the Arctic Circle with rich oil and gas deposited are now more accessible to Chinese and Russian ice breakers. Of course climate change as we all known is fake but let’s not the availability of new oil & gas deposits get in the wrong hands.

Yep, that and the amount of rare earth metal estimated under Greenlands ice.

In the context of people hoping Greenland gets independence and joins NATO before China tries to get it themselves, it's only crazy because some crazy dude is suggesting it.

It's a horrible idea to not only violate NATO but attack members. There's really no way France or Germany could stop us, they gonna threaten us with nukes?

These are hypotheticals I don't want to give energy to....it's such a stupid idea but still plausible.

Hot take....I think some countries like Russia want global warming so their territory and resources become more accessible.

Damn ICE is fucking everywhere.

Folks think it's a joke taking over these territories by force, but who's gonna stop him if he's serious???

No one.

Who can?

No one.

Think of how hard it is to hold China accountable and ignore the size of their economy and impact on supply chains. We could potentially become that on steroids.

I just want this to all be a distraction for his cabinet positions he's about to make acting to avoid getting blocked by the senate.

No one could stop it, but if they're patient, all they have to do is dig in and wage an asymmetric war. Our history is that we eventually get tired of the slow drip of combat losses, injuries, and the exorbitant price tag and ultimately lose interest, Our super high tech military has the advantage of being more or less unstoppable, but that comes at a cost. It's not sustainable over the intermediate to longer term. That will be even more true if his other policies drive the country into another recession, or cause inflation to come roaring back.
That said, Greenland may not have enough people willing to die, suitable terrain, cover and concealment, etc. to be able to pull something like that off.

Trump got no penalty for his NY court case , but his conviction stands

[Chew]

He just can't be a decent human being. Ever.

I'm not sure I've ever hated someone as much as i hate this piece of shit.

Vance is considering skipping the inauguration to attend Buckeyes - Fighting Irish championship game.

Vance can take the oath from anywhere. Will Trump be ok with that?

Said it before I'll say it again, taking 2 years to investigate someone and then appoint a special counsel instead of just doing it right away cost Joe Biden the presidency and allowed Trump to escape justice

Theme song for next 4 years.
