Trump says the U.S. will take control of Greenland 'one way or the other'

Listen I don't believe Greenland has ever worn a suit.

It's not war when Trump does it. It's liberation.

That same liberation under a Democrat would have them begging the Hague to arrest the sitting president.

Somebody's feeding him grandiose ideas about global warming and northern sea routes. Probably some flattering lies about splitting said routes between them and dominating world trade too, once Canada and the EU are out of the way.

It has room to move people into as climate change makes living in the equatorial regions difficult.

It has a bunch of minerals the USA could use.

It houses a NATO base that if it were in Russia's hands would make it easier for Russia to eventually project force westward.

There are reasons for America to want Greenland. They all happen to be evil which Im fairly positive is a side benefit for the current administration.

Or, he recognises that arctic and subarctic territories are going to be worth much more in the future because of global warming. Trump is a major scatterbrain but in general it looks like he’s acting impulsively based on pieces of trivia, some of them being correct. Not that I agree with proposed solution to the issue but not everything he does is entirely dumb and those are very rarely inconsistent with his own interests.

Putin wants it. That's why this is happening.

The assumption should never be that Trump wants a thing but that Putin wants it.

He is dumb enough for that to be utterly believable.

Damn you web mercator projection! If only Robinson projection was the default on google/apple/whatever trump uses -map.

Gaslight Obstruct (Mercator) Project

It's just going to be a bathroom in March of Legos. Or somewhere near where he buried evidence an ex-wife.

He's not clever enough for the air hole...

I feel like if they make good on their threat of exiting NATO we'll soon see the US invade an "ally"

So far nazis have ruined the toothbrush moustache, the swastika, the Gadsen Flag, Pepe (no big loss there), the OK symbol, and are on their way to ruining the US flag since anymore I nearly only ever seen it flown next to a Trump flag.

Now they are going to ruin the raised fist too.

It's the Black Power fist.
Except he's white.
Wonder what we could call it?

He wants to be like Hitler so bad, but knows that Americans will not stand for it so he does the close fist instead. In 100 years we will see that the way we see the nazi salute.

I think in his mind he‘s just pulling the handle for the steam whistle of his imaginary choo choo train.

Let's take that hot air argument off the table.

Escalating into nuclear conflict is a total loss scenario. The first one pressing a button would trigger a chain reaction that would render the planet an irradiated rock. Nobody gains anything.

Nuclear armament is the last hidding place for fragile egos and we would be very fortunate if after this insanity streak there was a complete nuclear global disarmament.

If you think it's insane it's basically still how we took the Kingdom of Hawaii.

Maybe he's counting on it

Prepare for a lot of fake Canadians.

Easy test, make fun of the usa in front of them. Any Canadian worth their salt will join in (more so now a days), but most americans can not seem to do so without mentioning weird colours and parties.

These Yanks will be putting Canada flag patches on their luggage again.

We need to develop a purity test to weed out the fake Canadians trying to come to our countries and steal our sanity. Somebody give me a shibboleth - something Americans can't pronounce properly but Canadians can.

Canurope first!

Make America Great......... Britain Again!

Russia already own the US that why all of this happen now

He's gonna gitchya, gitchya, gitchya, gitchya...

Like the entire USA doesn’t have a way to remove this guy on a technicality at least?

If the entire US wanted him gone, he wouldn't have taken off to begin with. The problem is that big swaths of the country are absolutely Q-pilled on this guy. They genuinely believe his schtick (thanks, in no small part, to a fully compliant corporate media and a complicit religious movement).

Past that, there's a mushy middle that feels utterly powerless. I'm sitting here on my couch in Houston. I don't have any way to get rid of my shitty mayor, much less my fascist President. The issue isn't finding a technicality. The issue is that bureaucrats in the US aren't seriously interested in doing a coup. Comey/Mueller aren't coming to save anyone. Hell, much of the police state is in the bag for this guy in one way or another. We've got enough Pam Bondis and Tulsi Gabbards and Ken Paxtons and Pete Hegseths and Michael Flynns bouncing around the branches of government that nominally provide national security to buffer out the opposition.

It comes down to the fundamental problem of the American system of governance. We weren't that far off the mark from outright fascism under Reagan or Truman. Trump's crassness and ignominity are not, themselves, sufficient to get him removed from office. He'll get away with trying to seize control of Greenland for the same reason Bush Jr got away with invading Iraq and LBJ got away with invading Vietnam and McKinley got away with invading the Philippines. Because this is who we are as a country. We're a big military that steals shit from the periphery to enrich the elites in our imperial core.

We're an Imperial Power full of violent, invasion-loving thugs, rapists, and looters. We're doing what we've always done.

Engaged in rebellion? 14th amendment

He'll just wear a bigger diaper then. A huuuge diaper, absolutely tremendous. The biggest in the world.

For 28 billion you could offer it to half the population.

For a few million you could offer it to the correct people/algorithms and convince a majority of the people that it's the other side who's being paid off, and they're coming for the minority (read majority) next.

It happened in the States.
