“If I don’t steal your home, someone else will steal it”
(For those OOTL, look up Yaacov Fauci)
These mfs are so full of shit.
Is this the right community? Honestly, we don’t need American news spammed everywhere on the fediverse
Doesn’t America already have Russia as a neighbour?
Greenland is 2000km away. Russia’s 50km away across the Bering Straight.
Nonsense, the US is all the way to the left and Russia is all the way to the right, they’re at the opposite ends.
/s but probably how trump thinks about it
Ah. If a boat landed there last year, it would be all ok then? What kind of a shit argument is that? Time has nothing to do with it.
If all this were a Hollywood movie, some American hero would have already killed Trump.
… you know, the fact that they had a boat land there 500 years ago doesn’t mean that they own the land
All right Indigenous Americans, you heard him. Kick the fucker out…
Sadly he’s saying something far more sinister. He’s basically saying that it doesn’t matter if you’ve lived somewhere for 500 years, someone else can come and say “This is mine now, fuck off”. Basically he’s stating that Russia has claim to whatever land they’ve conquered from Ukraine or that Israel has claim to all the lands they’re taking from Palestine.
Its not that deep.
He’s just saying he can take things he wants if no one will stop him, and he’s trying to rationalise that.
I agree, he’s absolutely making the statement only from the perspective of his own interests. But just because he himself doesn’t think beyond his own interest it doesn’t mean it’s not setting (if actually followed through) a precedent where taking land by force is acceptable.
You could say that about everything that Trump does.
He has normalised the making of unilateral decisions. He has normalised vindictive policies. He has normalised armed forces in cities.
Let’s say you and me are neighbors. If I don’t listen to my wife, kids, extended family and set up stupid rules in my house, does that affect you? No. If I set up a stupid rule where guests can’t flush the toilet does that affect you? Not really unless you come and visit. If I decide to walk around in my house with a loaded gun, does that affect you? No.
But if I come to you house, punch you in the face and tell you “Your wife now runs the house and I will be checking that she is the one running the house” does that affect you? Absolutely. That’s a simplified version of what happened in Venezuela. If kick your door in, shove a gun in your face and tell you “This house is now mine. Either deal with it or fuck off” does that affect you? Absolutely. That’s a simplified version of what Trump would in Greenland.
What you’ve described are domestic issues that don’t violate the sovereignty of another country. What I’ve described as a bad precedent is an international issue where there actions directly violate the sovereignty of another country. They’re two different things.
Not really.
Plenty of other countries adopting Trump’s populist policies.
And it’s their prerogative if they choose to do so. That’s not the same as Trump pushing his policies onto other countries.
And it’s not other countries. It’s right-wing parties who are using Trump for inspiration, it doesn’t automatically mean those parties are in power. In a parliamentary system, if they have any power then in most cases they’re in a coalition with center-right parties who will act as a stop-gap to their most extremist ideas. Even if they wanted to do like Trump does they have a much harder time doing that.
Bro you think diaper Donnie is having this level of rhetoric?
Stop scaring yourself.
Here for this comment, exactly
Don’t we already have Russia as a neighbour?
And its even closer than greenland.
yes. he is that fucking stupid.
What are you talking about? Everyone knows Alaska is on the bottom right of the map.
notsureif.png you’re deliberately confusing left and right to sound even more stupid.
No, just weird positional dyslexia
Ah, would have worked the other day too 🙂
… you know, the fact that they had a boat land there 500 years ago doesn’t mean that they own the land.
Yeah buddy, glad we agree that you don’t own the land and that you need to get the fuck out
I love how a post from fox news is the meme.
Where meme?
Edit: Here’s a quick image for posts like this, enjoy.
He’s such a fucking cunt. Tired of this motherfucker…
You can just put US military bases all over Greenland if you are afraid Russia or China will take it!
Aren’t you in NATO to prevent things like Russia taking shit over?
