Trump also told the Times that he isn’t opposed to using nuclear force if he “needed it” to take over the Arctic island but that “it might upset NATO," since the island is a self-governing territory of NATO member country Denmark.
It just looks so big on a map. That is the reason Trump is on board. Other people in the administration and around it may have different reasons but Trump just wants this big island on the maps have a USA on it.
Donald: Why are GenZ’s having time off and can do what they want for their mental health? Why can’t I take care of my mental health by taking Greenland?
Translation: his handlers (Thiel, etc.) need it.
For what? There’s a reason it has the population of a small city.
Because they’re dumb and think it’ll be a good place for “network cities”.
Trump couldn’t find it on a map a year ago. The real reason is he can’t handle anyone saying no to him.
Somebody told him that he couldn’t do anything he wanted whenever he wanted to, and he took offence to that.
He already has an emotional support Venezuela why does he also need an emotional support Greenland too?
“National Security” is the new lebensraum
Hold Kæft
Luk Røven
Fuck Af
Finally saying out loud “feels before reals”.
Greenland, please come concur the USA
It’s psychologically important to me and many others that he fucking die.
Wanting to see Trump die violently is the moral baseline now. Anything else is fucking suspect.
The sheer weight off the shoulders upon receiving that news. . .I’m beginning to struggle to even imagine.
Yes by all means let’s prioritize what the child raping bubba blowing treasonous con man wants
I want Donald Trump’s neck in a guillotine. It’s psychologically important to me.
… too quick, too clean.
… too painless.
You say that, but I’m ready for all this to be over and behind us.
You’re gonna be ready for a long time then.
Thats not how any of this works, pretending away a problem and just magically snapping back to “normal”.
That doesn’t happen in situations like this, go read a history book.
“Normal” is gone, never to return, because “normal” was built on too many lies, lies whose contradictions led us to this current moment.
This country will literally never be the same, it will be fundamentally different for generations, this Trump era is going to be a … whole distinct defining subsection of our history, not unlike the way Nazism was/is for the history of modern Germany.
There is no pinch me and wake me up from the nightmare.
The nightmare is real, and it will take effort, conviction, and courage to try build something better.
I don’t mean “normal” for the U.S., I mean normal for the rest of the world. I legitimately don’t care how this transition ends up going for the U.S. I just want to be rid of them.
The U.S. was never a good country. The colonisers were religious extremists who left Europe because their views were too extremist for us, even way back then. It’s built on a foundation of genocide and murder, and it never grew past that. It’s never cared for its people. It was always an oligarchy, that was literally the entire point of the U.S. gaining independence from the British crown.
Trump being in charge isn’t really that different from before. He’s unhinged and less political, but he didn’t set all of this up. All of the systems that enable him were already in place and used by those before him. The U.S. was always a conniving and manipulative country, it’s never really had allies, just tools. It’s sad that it took this long for so many to realise, and even now our politicians are hedging their bets that things return to the old status-quo when really they should be severing all ties and leaving the U.S. to collapse in on itself.
Uh, well if the transition goes very poorly, uh, WW3 starts and maybe we all get nuked, so, you might wanna care about that.
And … given what you’re saying now… by ‘this whole thing over and behind us’ and you ‘just want to be rid of them’… you mean…
… just, ctrl+z on the entire history of the US?
You mean the US becomes ‘normal’ by some other other country or countries standard of ‘normal’?
My point remains, you have to get from point A to point B, somehow, whatever your definition of point B is.
No disagreement that US has sucked in a whole lotta extremely horrible ways, since before day 1… but… my point is that wishful thinking is pointless, its actually just virtue signalling.
You’re just saying that… the US should just magically go away or transform… somehow…?
Yep, US bad, we agree.
US bad, but what do about US bad?
I agree. People are understandably distraught and need to vent, even though that venting might not make the most rational sense.
In the end, I think any “capital-S” State power can have fingers pointed at all the ways it’s abused that power regardless of the consent of the governed.
There are still good things people of the US have done (even still doing, however ignored and against the odds), good people are everywhere, and to say “US always bad burn it all” feels like an emotional and lazy take that abdicates the responsibility to combat evil, and lets it run roughshod with a shrug.
We must hope fiercely that we can replace this flawed and exploited system with something better, or we have nothing to fight for. “Something that’s not this” is not good enough and won’t unite people to make a difference.
Depends on how sharp and how lightweight it is.
Let me just say this plainly:
Bring back drawing and quartering.
Clarance Thomas can undergo that treatment via his motorcoach fleet.
Ya know how iron maidens were probably not actually a real thing? Let’s test one out, just the once.
This is America! We hang horse thieves here.
*poor horse thieves
*black horse thieves
This is the 21st century, we solve our problems with gunpowder and lead.
I accept your terms.
Ideally the short drop.
Maybe the best solution is to build a Truman show like simulated world and contain the Trump problem in there.
Let’s make it really realistic. Perhaps we can sacrifice Rubio to be in there blowing him 24/7?

I was thinking that Paradox should create a modern grand strategy simulation specifically for him, and just have everyone tell him that it’s real. Could even have a fake Fox News going to report on the shit he does in the sim
A Paradox game for Trump? I think a map colouring book would be more on his level.
So Victoria 3? Sorry I’m just increasingly disappointed in that game especially since EUV does the Vicky 2 shtick so damned well.
Rope is cheap are there are gas stations literally everywhere
Just build a dome over america and let them do their thing.
A golden dome, if you will

White House correspondent Katie Rogers — whom Trump recently called “ugly, both inside and out” for writing a story about his age — chimed in to ask, “Psychologically important to you or to the United States?”
“Psychologically important for me," Trump answered. “Now, maybe another president would feel differently, but so far I’ve been right about everything.”
These were hard times for The Onion staff.
It must suck working at the onion. Real life keeps using all of your good satire ideas.
They might as well transition into the only reliable news organization in the country.
“we’re not going to have Russia or China as a neighbor.”
Alaska has some news for ya, buddy
*gives alaska to russia*
Is this real? Because “psychologically” is a word to difficult for his vocabulary.
I doubt he could even repeat it back to you.
