Shoot this fucker in the face already

Which of the many other scandals is he trying to distract from with this?

Exactly. When a charlatan shows you what's in one hand, always watch what the other hand is doing.

[-] kmartburrito@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Raping - either women, children, or our country. He's done all three.

You are a presidential term too late. In this term he doesn't have to distract anybody, because he knows he can do whatever he wants without any repercussions. He doesn't do distractions anymore.

Good job, Trump! I can now check off "Lebensraum" from my "Are Republican's actually Nazis?" Checklist. Almost full now, then I guess we all lose.

Russia wants access to the arctic and both Canada and Greenland are in the way of that. Trump "makes Canada the 51st state" and uses military force to capture Greenland and Russia gets access.

I think Russia wants access to the Atlantic more than the Arctic. Greenland and Nova Scotia are listening posts for Russian vessels exiting the Arctic into the Atlantic.

If the US invades Greenland, the free world should coordinate to

  1. Fire a warning nuke (France)
  2. Have a mass sell off of US government bonds in order to get the US to default on its debt.
  3. Remove all US military bases from its borders (i.e. from Europe etc.)
  4. Migrate it's entire infrastructure away from US tech
  5. Provide material and financial support to opponents of the Trump regime in the US.

How does NATO article 5 hold under countries within a kingdom? Like, do they need individual membership or would an attack on ie. Greenland also mean an attack on Denmark. If not, could Denmark trigger article 5 anyway?

[-] Monkyhands@feddit.dk 4 points 1 year ago

Greenland is semi-autonomous, but currently still definitely part of Denmark. Article 5 would apply to an invasion here, if Denmark should choose to invoke it.

Better question is are American ready for WW3 if this guy acts on this nonsense?

  • A third will assist Trump in the conquest and occupation.
  • A third will assist America's enemies in overthrowing Trump.
  • A third will try their very best to hold their hands over their ears and yell "LALALALALA".

I’d amend “enemies” to “former allies”, but yeah

Americans will swarm and kill these assholes faster than you'd expect.

[-] yata@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Unsure who you are referring to.

I like how he said he does not want war, yet he is gonna use military force! Stick with the opposite George, stick with the opposite!

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary.

Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage.

  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
