President Donald Trump has said the U.S. will revisit its stance on Greenland in the coming weeks.
Asked if he expected to take action on the territory, Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday: “Let’s talk about Venezuela, Russia, Ukraine. We’ll worry about Greenland in about two months. Let’s talk about Greenland in 20 days.”
He added: “We need Greenland from a national security situation. It’s so strategic.”
I’m concerned he thinks he’s able to take Greenland as easy as he was able to kidnap Maduro.
I’m concerned that anybody could think such spearheaded attacks could bring anything but chaos. I agree on Greenland, kidnapping a high value target with a flashy operation has nothing to do with conquest. Successful US dominance was based on diplomacy, imo Trump overrates military supremacy once deprived of diplomatic credibility.
I have thought for a long time that the chaos is the point. They’re not trying to do something strategically smart. They are trying to diminish the credibility of the US. They are corruptly manipulating US markets with big crazy moves as a means of transferring wealth to their friends while also trying to weaken the US.
They started small to see what they could get away with and have been progressively getting more wild with the moves they make.
He’s destroying the US Dollar basically, passing it’s “power” to its own crypto-currencies. Yes, he’ll destroy the United States long term viability in the process, but hey…
Don’t know if true but also completely plausible.
What about the last 9 years has suggested to you that he wants anything but chaos?
it’s not without limits though
For one, Trump’s not thinking. You are ascribing thought and intentions to a man you and I would long ago have sent to the home were he our grandfather.
His handlers put these ideas in his head and soon enough they’ll hand him invasion papers to sign. “Here are the orders you asked us to draw up.” That easy.
Speaking of easy, taking Greenland will be all too easy. Europe didn’t respond appropriately to the Russian threat in its own backyard; they’re hardly going to cross the Pond to oust the strongest military on Earth. Fuck me, the EU is still mumbling about further Russian sanctions, after years of this conflict.
Stories like this are for preparing US citizens, and the world at large, for the coming reality.
Won’t it? Not like europe could stop it or we have to choose to go to war with them ig economically and …physically? depends on usa, but they will rather give it up than start a war I bet
He CAN take it far easier than Maduro. But the consequences would be far greater and it would be much harder to hold it.
