    Because we live in a world governed by strength, by power.

    Oh ok then so why did they get so buttered about 9/11? It was only another group of people exercising their power and their strength.

    Not saying that terrorists should be accepted but simply that the provided justification makes no goddamn sense. But then again it is a White House official statement so why would it.

      The problem with sense is that it is not an a priori natural constant, but created on the fly. Stephen Miller’s justification for taking Greenland is more an acknowledgment and announcement that they left the set of values that the countries of hate world (officially) agreed upon with the founding of the UN. It does make sense in the context of his set of values, and I hope he’ll end up experiencing the consequences of his believes when the roles are reversed. Without the world having to go to war to reign the US in.

        They will most likely apply the actual military AI they have, that’s when AM will utterly fuck us all, and not in a good way.

          I’m not sure how much military AI figures into this. Arctic conditions are famously unforgiving of electronics.

          Batteries tend to die, and components tend to freeze. The US military hasn’t really built their infrastructure to deal with extremely cold weather, they were confident that the next major conflict would occur in a nice warm desert in the middle East or maybe China at a stretch.

      “Buttered”? What’s that mean?

      “9/11”? That false flag operation to trigger the excusing of the PNAC plan to invade 7 countries in 5 years keeping the people terrorised into an unquestioning totalitarian group think as the first phase of weapons of mass distraction to consolidate power even further? That 9/11?

      “another group”?! Same group.
