President Donald Trump said the U.S. will "go as far as we have to go" to get control of Greenland, ahead of a planned visit to the Arctic island by the vice president.
I think it’s really dangerous to keep dismissing the Greenland talk as a distraction. We have learned the lesson dozens of times before not to dismiss anything he says because it’s just “crazy talk.”
Taking control of Greenland and Canada would give a US-Russian alliance complete control over the Arctic circle, which has been a tactical goal of Putin’s for decades.
The day could come very soon when the US will take military action against Europe on behalf of Russian interests, and the rest of the world should take it seriously and prepare.
Every time an American claims something is just a distraction I get more annoyed. Threats of invading sovereign nations is not just a distraction. It’s pretty fucking alarming as a citizen of one of those nations and the dismissal of it is offensive
It’s pretty alarming as a citizen of the US as well. But our conservatives are upset over the signal leak and indifferent to the invasion of Greenland, so if we let trump distract is with the signal leak you lose.
Some of us are taking steps to resist, including but not limited to protests. It is clearly not anywhere close to enough people, but the discontent and resistance is growing. Sadly, most people are shockingly apathetic about such things, yet act like sportsball is the most important thing in the world.
The trade war will destroy him, not because it hurts regular Americans, but because it hurts the rich and pisses them off and nobody messes with their meal ticket.
The trade war appears to be about market manipulation. And sewing distrust of America. By repeatedly flip flopping they can buy and sell and make a killing in the markets. His wealthy allies are in on it and won’t care at all.
This is what he was elected to do and it won’t hurt him at all with the people who matter.
He’s 100% serious and also using it as a distraction. Both things are true. For some reason everyone cares about the signal leak and only about half of us care about invading Greenland, or rendering immigrants to a slave prison.
Signal is a weakness and Greenland is an attempt at distraction. He fully intends to invade, but distraction is why he’s talking about it right now.
Believe me, I see the danger. I harbor no illusions that they wouldn’t go that far or that it’s just a distraction. Nothing is just a distraction, everything they say is an admission. I guess my point was Americans need to keep their eyes on this Signal thing because of how it could blow up but Trump knows how to distract so this week it’s Greenland, and next time it will be Canada again. When they have the power and the courts are nutted, then it won’t be a distraction but an action.
If they push this signal thing it just might crack. Then maybe set them back a few months or a year. Then we can have the midterms and maybe just maybe get a handle on some of this shit.
I have had 4 double shots of espresso since lunch so I am rambling lol good luck homie everyone is going to need it.
I remember talking to this dude before Russia invaded Ukraine. He said Russia brought all the troops to the border for a military training exercise. I asked him where he learned that. He told me Russian state media… It’s amazing how gullible people are. Like truly so innocent and trusting.

It’s all crazy talk until the flights of American troops and equipment start landing for an occupation force.
Scary times ahead for all, and Americans will struggle the most.
Well, except for the innocent people who will be invaded…
I keep trying to encourage Americans to put in the effort to stop Trump and his sycophants/minions from escalating this trade war into a shooting war.
So far they either ask me for a detailed plan to save their country from itself or say its pointless to even try…

You don’t understand.
People, everyday Americans don’t matter at all.

It’s about dividing the West so the oligarchs, all the oligarchs everywhere, can take control.
Stupid oligarchs, China knows no such rules.
That’s what I intended with sewing distrust. It certainly looks like market manipulation to me as well though.
