Enough of a joke that Denmark is increasing the size of their military deployment to Greenland.
to be fair hitler was a joke. a horrible horrible joke but man its crazy the way the pathetic somehow gain this level of power.
“For purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World,” Mr. Trump wrote on social media, “the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity.”
Go fuck yourself trump. Even your supporters must know you don't give a shit about freedom, never have. This is just you being a mob boss wannabe doing a shakedown
It wasn't a joke the first time, it's just that after everyone laughed at him he got humiliated and pivoted to "Haha I was just kidding you guys! So funny right?" and tried to play it off.
Go fuck yourselves america.
We sure are trying our best to
I did this morning, but I suppose I can again tonight.
Nah for real, fuck us.
Still absolutely a joke, even if he's not joking. Even if it happens, it's a huge joke, just like him.
But who is motivating him to do so? The orange shit stain never used a single braincell off his own few since his overlord Pootin filmed him dousing minors with piss (pretty sure the Moscow piss videos include CP as pissing is a negligible kink that wouldn't make him so compliant).
Who really needs strategic access to Greenland and the Panama canal? Is china using their junior proxy ruzzia for handling the childish emperor?
But who is motivating him to do so
There's a mixed bag of old school neocons, bloodthirsty groypers, and profit seeking capitalists who would all love an "easy" land grab in a relatively underdeveloped region. In the same way Israelis marching into Gaza, slaughtering the residents, and sending in waves of geeked up settlers to lay claim to the turf is popular in the Middle East, you could easily find a surplus of poor, angry, desperate young men in the States to free-boot in Latin America or some desolate northern wasteland.
Would be a hellish waste of human lives and resources, but when has that ever stopped us before?
Who really needs strategic access to Greenland and the Panama canal?
Greenland has a ton of untapped mineral wealth looked under the ice sheets. Panama's strategic significance to international shipping is only behind the Suez Canal and Singapore. I'm sure Chinese shipping magnets and mining companies would love to have claims on them both. But this is more about the DC reinforcing its control of the Atlantic than Beijing making a stretch claim on the other side of the world.
china using their junior proxy ruzzia
The Soviet-Sino split isn't even cold in the ground and Model UN brainiacs think Moscow is already fully beholden to Beijing.
I'm imagining going back 20 years and asking "Why is Iran so keen on getting us out of Afghanistan? What villainy could they be planning with their dipshit lackeys in Pakistan?"
It's about controlling trade, that's it.
Always has been.
oh, it's still a joke.
