Trump Dictatorship and All Things Politics

All this talk of the U.S. acquiring so much new territory! So exciting. Hardly feels like there are any lessons from history that pertain to this at all.
If Greenland want to be part of the United States then we should be open to it.

For those who don't know, Denmark hasn't been good to the people of Greenland. At one point, the Danish government ordered a campaign of involuntary birth control on the women and girls of Greenland without their knowledge or consent.


There is also an agreement that Greenland can become independent from Denmark if they vote to do so. The leader of Greenland is pushing to make that happen.

 
It sure is reassuring when I hear the way this POS and his terrible worthless warmongering daughter talk about Trump. They are literally some of the worst people alive. Pretty ironic this ****ing idiot talking about lies and violence. What a ****.

It is not surprising. Biden has been amazing for business. Of course the warmongers wanted 4 more years and were even willing to campaign with Kamala.


The J6 Committee was nothing but an illegitimate marketing campaign for the American defense industry.

The top 10 lies of Liz Cheney and the January 6th Committee:​

  • 1. January 6th Was An ‘Insurrection’
  • 2. Democracy Almost Died
  • 3. Trump Incited The ‘Insurrection’
  • 4. Trump Was Enthusiastic About The Violence
  • 5. Trump Tried To Hijack Limousine To Riot At The Capitol Himself
  • 6. Trump Dismissed Need For National Guard
  • 7. Demonstrations Were Mostly Violent
  • 8. Capitol Police Officer Was Killed In Riot
  • 9. Loudermilk Gave Rioters ‘Reconnaissance Tours’
  • 10. The Jan. 6 Committee Was Legitimate

Someone tell me why this matters? Seriously I've googled all over and found very little that doesn't just scream "business interests". Or "because I want it".

This is the way of nationalism.

Besides, Russia broke the seal on major military powers taking land by force since the end of WWII. So using might to grow your nation is back on the table baby!

Oh and did you hear, Trump is going to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of 'Merica **** Yeah! Well I think it's actually Gulf of America, but I know how I'll be saying it from now on.

Seriously though, that's terrifying. All of the founding fathers are spinning in their graves.
 
trump says he won't rule out using our military to take Greenland and the Panama canal.
Warmonger!
So he said he will end the wars that we don't have any troops involvement in and instead will get us into new wars using our military! Yay for warmongers!

Also heard today that there was a record number of new enrollments in the Affordable Care Act and there is a record number of Americans with healthcare. The majority of the new enrollments came from southern red states in rural areas.

You think the guys who used military force to take the 13 colonies from the English and made the Louisiana Purchase from a European country would be spinning in their graves over the 2024 President's possible use of military force and purchasing a chunk of land in North America from a European country? Uh, okay.

Your Google-fu is weak.

Both are key to the US Military.

The United States built the Panama Canal to have the ability to quickly get our military assets from the Atlantic to the Pacific. It used to be America as was famously noted when John McCain ran for President after having been born in the part of Panama that was America. Later, we handed that area back to Panama and they have mismanaged it to the point that the canal is being threated with collapse. The public pronouncements of US interest in clawing it back is a warning to Panama to do what is necessary to keep it functional or we will.

As for Greenland, it is the great circle path between Russia's ICBMs and America. That is why we have US Pituffik Space Base located there.


Russia has been rather aggressive recently, including the use of their new Oreshnik ballistic missile in Ukraine. That seems to be motivating the US to be more proactive in building out defensive measures by establishing more permanent control over the land where such measures need to be based.

Many people still don't have the stomach to follow politics these days after the disappointment of the last election and the return of the Trump three-ring circus to Washington. It's depressing and nerve-wracking, even if you just hear snippets in passing or read a few paragraphs of a news story about billionaires at Mar-a-Lago or strange D-list celebrity political figures being lifted into positions of great responsibility. There's only so much you can take.

But I do wish that everyone could bring themselves to watch at least some of the president-elect's press conference on Tuesday. Yes, much of it was the standard lunacy about showerheads and whales and windmills. He always plays his greatest hits. But he's got some new material that I think people should be aware of.

His recent comments about Mexico, Canada, Panama and Greenland show that this strategy has matured beyond just extorting money from other countries at the end of some very big guns, both military and economic, and has now become a full-fledged policy of territorial expansion.

In that typically crazy press conference on Tuesday, he made the startling announcement that he plans to rename the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. His loyal hatchet woman, Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, promptly announced legislation to do just that so that the government could get to work changing all the maps. The fact that the Gulf of Mexico has been called that since before there was a United States of America makes no difference. Trump wants it and he's going to make it so.

And when asked in the press conference if Trump actually planned to seize the Greenland, and the Panama Canal as well, Trump said it was necessary for national security, the same rationale Vladimir Putin used to invade Ukraine which Trump called "savvy" and "genius" at the time. It is quite clear that Trump is serious about this. When asked directly, he would not rule out using the military to accomplish his goal.

He is also quite serious about using U.S. troops to stage military operations in Mexico, ostensibly against the drug cartels. And for all of his "joking" about Canada being the 51st state as a way to emasculate Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, he conceded that he only planned to use economic force to bend Canada to his will, which was very restrained of him.

With Trump saying that the U.S. needs Greenland and the Panama Canal for national security reasons it's pretty clear that they are laying the groundwork for military action. (Nobody is going to "sell" either of them.) I doubt that there will be any serious actions, economic or otherwise against Canada because America does lots of business with them. But Trump is stirring up a tremendous amount of resentment for no good reason. And we have every reason to believe that he's serious about some kind of military action in Mexico. (And don't be surprised if he proposes a Venezuelan invasion. He wanted to do it in his last term.)

Nobody voted for any of this. It wasn't even a "vibe" in last November's election.

Trump appears to have taken some inspiration from Vladimir Putin's Ukraine invasion which he thought from the beginning made perfect sense. His Defense Secretary nominee, Pete Hegseth, put it in terms Trump probably liked very much. He called it "Putin's give me my **** back war":
 
They do realize that no one in the world has to accept this right? The US making a decree isn't binding on anyone else anywhere. Such stupid **** already.
It’s pretty childish. And MAGA has that side to it at times, esp. Greene and some others. Seems very insecure, too. Like somehow this enhances our inherent greatness. Guess it beats the marines storming the beaches of Greeneland.

Gulf of Mexico has existed longer than the USA has lol
 
This makes me curious when and how did humanity agree upon the names of non national geographic things like the Atlantic Ocean?
 
Orange clown circus is getting more and more crazier and he has not even been inaugurated. I mean it is funny for now but when does it get real and your orange Hitler/Putin wanabe will start threatening his allies with military force? Like when it will be time to invoke 25th amendment to remove him for being mentally unstable/unfit to lead?( I mean he is unfit and unstable as it is now but I guess he needs to do something completely reckless?)
