This admin doesn't give a shit. They are testing the world. Respond with force now, or more countries fall. The American I knew and loved is dead. If the world unites and invades, you will have millions on your side in the states.
And millions will be pissed and counter attack or at least try to maintain their position (looking at you southern states.)
It’s unfortunate but an invasion is more likely to start Civil War 2 Electric Boogaloo.
The better option would be boosting the military force in Greenland & Canada (geography and annexation desires.) to basically show that yes invading other countries is not acceptable.
Is it bad that I'm partly hoping the US pokes the Canada polar bear and they go full Geneva checklist on the administration? Wouldn't be the first time they've burned the white house
But late for that. The Ballroom is bound to demolish more than the West Wing given Trump’s obsession of size
We're heading to balkanization one way or the other. The US cannot survive in its current state. States can't decide to fight or flight, it's fight or die
Was it ever alive?
This is an actual shit post. Come on man
California would literally pick up arms and start fighting against the US in a situation like this.
I find it unfathomable that an invasion would be attempted. IMO Trump has put himself at the center of a potential Who Shot Mr Burns situation.
I forsee the largest proliferation of nuclear weapons since the cold war.
I think that's accurate.
Cool, cool, cool. Hey, any particular reason you're putting out this statement? Or, just, y'know, because whatever?
Not pointed enough
I agree. Words won't be enough. I think they should send a multinational trigger force to defend Greenland now, but theyre hoping a deal can still be made, it would seem.
They don’t sound like they care about Greenland much.
I'm not sure about that. I think theyre trying very hard to not trigger king baby.
If they were interested in defending Greenland they would base support troops there so any American action would require direct engagement with EU military personnel.
I agree. But that would also trigger Trump into action, so they may be hoping diplomacy will still hold out, futile as that may be. Hopefully they're building a joint task force in the meantime.
There are a bunch of non-US units on the US base already.
And they don't remove the US units from Denmark, why?
The US military would see that coming before they even left European ports.
Yeah, that is the entire fucking point of doing it.
Trump's probably willing to make A Deal. Something like, "Give me your minerals or I will find a pretext to invade, and take them anyway".
Or something like that.
Miller's gonna spank himself into a coma at the thought.
They already could have negotiated a win win deal. This is as much about projecting strength as it is anything else. Trump's (and Miller's) power is diminishing. He's in lame duck territory and he's basically bored of the affordability crisis. The Epstein files are part of it, but more than anything it's about how he's losing his grip on power. He's trying to spark a flame that's run out of fuel by rubbing two sticks of dynamite together, and it was probably Putin's idea.
The Turd Reich will do as Shitler commands until they are stopped.
The question is, will there be any action if Trump invades
Spoiler alert, no.
The General Public is going to have find ways to get back at the US. Strikes at ports to prevent goods leaving for the US or US made goods coming in, boycotts, etc.
Hmm I didn’t see a commitment to respond with force. Just a statement of what is “right,” as if Trump gives one shit about that. Fail.
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. 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 another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple 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.
