This is a distraction. What else happened today that they don't want the news focusing on??
It's all distraction. He just wants his name in the news. Le Pen dying is hogging headlines, President Musk is making waves in Europe, you've got Trudeau's resignation, a Ukranian ace shooting down cruise missiles, and none of it has Trump's name on it.
Edit: Oh, the one Trump story is that Jack Smith may release his findings. So maybe that's it.
Damn. Had me going for a second. I forgot that Le Pen is a family of French nazis. Not an individual
I should be more specific. Jean-Marie Le Pen died.
It's probably easier if we start by listing all the things that aren't happening today.
Yeah 100%
This gets trump assassinated by a three letter organisation
What's not making it past the editor's desk today?
This gets trump assassinated by a three letter organisation
Merely the act of reading this gave me a freedom boner
The appointment of fascists to the FBI and conspiracy theorists to government health jobs.
That brought back bad memories. I remember in his first term everything he said or did was a "distraction" according to reddit.
America's idea of national security is the same thing as American Hegemony.
Under these rules, No one is allowed to pose a threat. even their own allies. that's why the Fascist factions of America are currentley focused on taking Europe and Canada apart, they want subservient puppet states, not Powerful partners and allies. The EU needs to prepare for a future where it is no longer allied to America, this is the multipolar world that Putin talked about ,(although in Putin's plan, Russia is in control of most of Eurasia, Nuking China too if need be, according to lunatics like Dugin/Ilyn)
So that being said, Europe basically has two futures, Federalize and Militarize, preparing to treat both America and Russia as Advesaries if need be, or do nothing, and get picked apart by the Fascists, Mafia goons, and megalomaniac tech bros who are trying to infiltrate every level of government by poisoning the elections with filth. Russia is still the enemy of the free world, But part of America is rearing to join them.
Canada on the other hand, Is looking more and more every day like a future of conflict with an Imperialist America is going to be a reality. Its not a fight we can win, but we will fight regardless. Everybody dies eventually. I'd rather die fighting american fascists and traitor "canadians" than live on my knees. If was was going to die in a conflict, I would have preferred it be against russian fascists rather than my own friends and neighbors of both my own country and the americans. but its all the same. you fight fascists because you must. If they are truly stupid enough to keep pushing this to the end result, they'll live to severely regret it.
None of this nonsense is really American foreign policy though. It's insane rants of our leader.
I refuse to believe that invading Greenland, Panama, or any of our current allies would be at all acceptable to the rest of the nation. Things can change maybe, but I don't really see how that would happen right now.
Except maybe Mexico. I could honestly see a path forward for that one. Which would no doubt be dumb as fuck.
I told my landlord today that even tho I've never held a PAL (possession and acquisition licence), I'm getting one as soon as I have some money.
I'll stand on the border somewhere, whether aiming south or north is no matter.
Get the restricted, it's usually just an extra couple hours after the regular PAL training class if you talk to your instructor and pay an extra $50. And go with friends, it's actually kind of a fun course. I went with my wife and friend just to sit in as I was grandfathered in for the PAL and FAC before that.

I refuse to rule out saying MAGA is a terrorist organization.
They said it themselves.
I thought we were mostly in agreement on this, tbh
New us territory - Greenland
51st state - Canada
52nd state - Mexico
53rd state - Panama
54th state - UK
55th state - ???
Put it in your bets folks.
Lol at the prospect of Trump giving Canada and Mexico full statehood with voting rights. He can't even handle letting existing states have voting rights.
Canada, Mexico, Panama
Haiti, Jamaica, Peru! Republic Dominican, Cuba, Caribbean, Greenland, El Salvador too!

The orange asshole is willing to start WW3 over Greenland and the Panama Canal.
Awesome. :/
Ww3 already started 3 years ago when russia started shooting at Ukraine.
People just don't believe ww3 is anything other than nukes falling. So global conflict with clear lines drawn * withoutb atomic booms . Many people thibk is just bauiness as usual
*(until America decides to switch sides that is).
Then according to that logic all of the Cold War was WW3 because at this point it's still just a couple of proxy wars going on. No great/super powers are in direct conflict with each other.
Call me when China and Russia decide to team up and attack Boston.

It's just the second cold war. You'll know WW3 started when NATO invokes Article 5. Until then, it's all just proxies.
In the first cold war there were proxy wars in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, etc. Now it's Ukraine and Israel/Syria/Lebanon.

He never rules out anything. It's how he stays in the headlines and looks "thoughtful". It masks the fact that he has no fucking clue what he will do.
Aren’t we all used to this by now? Ask him stupid questions and you’re going to get stupid answers.
Ask any question.
This shit is so stupid. Please don't feed the trolls.
I see Trump feels like he needs to take over Elon's headlines.
While I understand this is just a distraction ….
I am somewhat curious how it would play out. As the upcoming Commander-in-Chief, Trump will be in command of all military. He can say “go”. However any officer with any ethical backbone should reply “no”. So, will he get enough sycophants in enough places instead of competent leaders, that he could actually pull shenanigans like this?
Legally, only Congress has the right to make war.
Not that the law has really stopped him so far.
If you call it something else you can do whatever you want. It's an old Bush trick.
It’s an old Nixon trick. Actually an old Truman trick, using the US military in un-declared wars started with the Korean conflict, but Nixon and Kissinger really amped things up with their secret war in Cambodia.
Special Operation Green Initiative
Edit: I really fucking hope I’m wrong or the military tells him to go fuck himself if he orders that.

Great way to dismantle NATO, I guess.
Also, this has nothing to do with security like was the message some days ago. The US has almost free access to Greenland as it is. This if a mineral grab.
Exactly. The warming arctic means that countries bordering that part of the world are becoming much more available and much more valuable. So... Russia, Canada, Norway, Denmark (via Greenland), and the US (via Alaska) now have lands that need to be exploited or defended. Apparently the US has decided that Alaska isn't enough.

Fucking Putin jr over here
I wonder how fast will they stop with their bullshit if the whole world starts considering them a threat to their security and give them the North Korea treatment
China is a threat to almost every other country's security and that has not earned them the North Korea treatment. Wealthy, powerful countries get away with it.
China manufactures almost everything we use on a daily basis. The US on the other hand...
Won’t happen. This is to distract you from his appointments aimed at revenge and grifting.
If you are gonna use military force for anything, invade all the small tax haven countries.
The Panamanians are investigating the Orange Shit Stain for tax evasion. WTF, I would welcome the Danes and Greenlanders to take over the Blue States.
Intelligence agencies should keep an eye on me if he is serious... I might for the first time visit that shit hole country...
