I think that was Kyle Shittenhouse

I will do no such thing.

When they invade Africa: “Just because they evolved from proto human hominoids here, doesn’t mean they own the land.”

I do not have the full background of the original but I guess I should link the source.

Except Trump obviously brings the numbers. Unless there are literally no more elections ever again, how would they get votes?

Well he’s strategically planning for a war. It’s only slightly mired by the fact that he’s a brainless moron.

He probably thinks you can just pump oil out of the ground and directly into a vehicles fuel tank. Look at that aircraft that Saudi Arabia is giving him, he’s so goddamn pleased with it even though it’s a piece of junk because he thinks that the thing is the goal, in and of itself. He has no idea that processes need to happened to make that end goal.

I’d love to watch him play any kind of game that involves strategy and planning because I’m reasonably confident he’d suck at it.

He did not un-rename it, he got a DBA. It’s still officially the Department of Defense until Congress changes the name by resolution.

Trump won the popular vote by more than 2 million votes. Their numbers are right.

They’ve pretty much got their numbers right.

Non voting is voting, in this regard.

If there’s this many allies, where are they when voting time comes? Twice, he was elected.

“the voting population”

1 out of 2 American adults who give enough of a fuck to vote are Trump supporters.

It’s been training its whole life for this administration!

They did pick up a lot of the Teen Cosmo staff.

He literally just kidnapped the head of state of another country using military force.

Well yes (although I’d argue how much of that was him vs Rubio), but doing so was preceded by a large naval buildup that we don’t see with Greenland. Not to mention that those naval assets are still there extorting Venezuela and another naval deployment of that size would leave INDOPACOM under resourced for maintaining the Island Chain containment on China.

Basically, it’s not actually a serious threat at this point.

An attack on Denmark would most likely mean the end of NATO and have a massive impact on the already damaged relationship with Europe. The EU would be forced to respond in one way or another. Even a megalomaniac like this bastard can’t be stupid enough to accept that.

This is either a distraction or an attempt to put pressure on Denmark in order to gain leverage in negotiations.

Of course, it is still absolutely true that the US under this absurd Nazi regime poses a considerable threat to world peace. The regime devalues international law with its ruthless acts, leaving only the law of the strongest to apply, which is of course an enormous step backwards for civilization - even though the UN, also largely due to the US, has never really taken it seriously.

Yes, I consider that a given: it’s the classic autocratic strategy.

Yes, that’s clear, but not against the EU. That would cost the US dearly. There are various other countries he could abuse for this purpose. I assume that Venezuela served as preparation for an invasion of Cuba (Maduro was the most important oil supplier for Cuba). I simply cannot understand why anyone would believe that a military conflict with the EU is even remotely realistic. It would isolate the US and cost the already weak US economy billions. A war against any South American country would not, even though it would have the same bogus effect on the US population.

Moreover, Trump would be fulfilling a “US-dream” that has been propagated for ages if he attacked and maybe defeated Cuba. Why do you think he would strike against the last vassal states he has left (in fact that is what the EU is - I can confirm unfortunately because I’m from the EU, specifically from Germany where we have a head of state that is in fact a US lobbyist)? That would be absolutely insane.

An attack on Cuba in violation of international law would of course be equally reprehensible, but it would probably even been met with approval among US citizens, while it should be clear to any reasonably educated US citizen that a conflict with the EU would be completely contrary to the most basic US interests.

I cannot for the life of me understand how it is possible that these empty threats are taken even halfway seriously.

I am by no means referring solely to the Epstein Files. What I mean is that, with this inhuman individual at the helm, the US is now being run like a veritable mafia state, very similar to nations like Russia, for example - organized crime in the truest sense of the word. This is a change from the usual plutocracy in that it is now more unscrupulous than ever: corruption is more obvious than ever and the profits of the elites are higher than ever, which can be easily seen in the exorbitant increase in the wealth of the top one percent. Likewise, the actions against the country’s own population are obviously more illegal than ever. To distract from how hollow the US system actually is, foreign policy is being used to make a big splash, which also provides opportunities for further self-enrichment - such as the abduction of Maduro, which is completely contrary to international law and from which the president and his influential supporters are likely to benefit personally.

The reasoning behind this seems quite simple to me, as it is a classic autocratic strategy: continuous distraction from events in one’s own country is needed. I mean, when you murder your own people as ruthlessly as this regime does, it doesn’t go down well - especially when it’s not just marginalized groups that have never had any significant influence in the US. However, in order to enable a state like Russia, which is currently pretty evident in the US I’d say, it is necessary to also eliminate resistance among intellectuals and other native American groups, i.e., among US citizens, which I thinks is likely to happen soon. This requires all the more distraction - and autocrats traditionally find this excuse in foreign policy.

In short: I think it is likely that the elites in the US, who have ruled the country for decades, have now decided to drop the pretense and switch from a sham democracy to the Russian model.

I consider Drump’s latest foreign policy initiatives to be preparation for this, although in my opinion the Greenland narrative is not a genuine intention, as it would be very costly for the elites, but merely a way of swearing that it does not matter who you take action against in foreign policy. It also serves to show US citizens how powerless they really are: I may be wrong, but I don’t think the majority of US citizens have any interest in starting a conflict with Europe, their long-standing ally. Nevertheless, they cannot and will not do anything about it, but are at the mercy of the regime, as evidenced by the fact that many US citizens take the chatter of their completely out-of-control head of state seriously.

What makes you think that? What would he or the US gain from it?
