BREAKING: Trump says Greenland should be controlled by the United States, not by Denmark, before warning Europe: We could remove all our soldiers out of Europe. They better be careful.
Trump is a threat to the free world.

Trump on Greenland: "That's what hurt my relationship with NATO...it's an important part for the United States. It's surrounded by China ships & Russian ships. Greenland should be controlled by the United States, not by Denmark. We could remove all our soldiers out of Europe. They better be careful"

Sure, let him have his red card reversal

(10,266 posts)without any real roadblocks and he knows it. Ten YEARS of that criminal breaking everything for his own enrichment and who stops him??
Enough is enough!! All the NATO nations other than the US should withdraw from NATO and band together in a "Antifascist Alliance", adopt a copy of the NATO Charter and ignore whatever that war criminal does.
Putin wants Greenland in THE WORST way........under all that ice are massive oil reserves and critical metal reserves to be mined.
Putin has his sights on a north west passage for shipping from the northern Atlantic to the northern pacific.
Putin needs/wants Canada, Iceland, even Alaska to be at least under his indirect control, and can pressure Trump to help him...
Trump is Putin's puppet, and Putin can pressure him to help him make it possible......

(24,651 posts)All he can do is control media reactions.
Europe doesnt fear him, they (along with Canada) hold all the cards.
With Russia in its weakest position since the end of the Cold War, Trump can flap his gums all he wants, and it means nothing to the security of Europe.
By the time Russia rebuilds/rearms, if it ever does, Europe will have transitioned to a self sufficient defense model. That, along with trade independence, will be Trumps lasting global legacy.

(23,558 posts)If TSF invades Greenland, that would be tantamount to a declaration of war against Denmark. And it would trigger NATO's Article 5, and all of western Europe, as well as Canada, will defend Denmark.
World War III.
Peachy.

He just wants to steal their natural resources without having to give a cut to Denmark--no doubt through a private company led by Eric and Don, Jr.

(78,384 posts)picked Trump.
To shits like Thiel and Musk voting data is something that needs to be manipulated to get
their desired outcome. To Thiel and Palantir it was just a batch file job.
Musk I had an app that let me see the results early. That wasnt an app that was a HACK.
He was into the voting data.
maxsolomon
(39,517 posts)Unfortunately, I don't.
Until I see hard evidence to the contrary, I blame the American Voter collectively for their shitty choice.
Botany
(78,384 posts)of every hanging chad, every anomaly, every glitch, every rejected ballot, every person purged
from the voter rolls, every voter I.D. law, every closed precinct, every voter who was caged,
every swing state coming in for Trump just above the margin that would have triggered a recount,
last minute surge of votes to the Republicans, the millions of undervotes* for Clinton, for Harris,
for the democrats running for Senate in 22 & 24 in Ohio, States that elected democratic governors
or senators but voted for Trump in the presidential election, every signature match problem that caused
a mail in or an early ballot to be rejected, and on and on that statistically are in the 1 in a billion of just
being a random chance.
Yes, you are 100% right that pieces of shit like Trump will always have @ least a 30% base who
will vote Republican because they are afraid of the colored people taking over.
I wish you well.

I hope saner people are still in the State Dept. and are cautioning Denmark that he's just a blustering blowhard and that the majority of us can't wait until his fat ass is out of the White House and back in MaraLardo, waiting for all the charges to be filed against him.

(2,099 posts)...if [Redacted] removed US troops from Europe, most of Europe would say something along the lines of, "Well...bye!"
European nations are already beginning to build their own advanced weaponry because they no longer trust the US. And it's good timing for them to cut ties, frankly. Putin has squandered Russia's power, so it just doesn't pose a credible military threat to Europe.
