Greenland

I was thinking of English history, but I assume it’s common.

Either way, rebellions against “ministers” can still end with the King’s head rolling on the ground.

good luck

America needs it.

That's just it though, guys like Tillis are bending over backwards to try to put the blame on Stephen Miller, and absolve Trump of his responsibility, so I don't think there's anything he can do that they can't write off as "bad advice" from his cabinet, and absolve themselves of any responsibility to act.

We've taken two of Russia/China's proxies off the table and are starving both of them for energy, but it's just about the Nobel Prize snubbing. lol

I addressed this part with "to make up a lie as to why we need to invade"

My statement wasn't a lie. It's pretty well accepted that taking Venezuela off the board has damaged Russia and China immensely--thus weakening Russia in Ukraine and China's eye toward Taiwan. Similarly with the unrest in Iran.

In the face of that, you want everyone to believe your assumption that that was an accident and it was merely Trump being petty.

My point was those guys can be the focus of criticism for the peasants (of course it’s not your god appointed King), but when the King inevitably sides with his ministers (because, of course, the ministers are the symptom, not the cause), the hands are forced.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s incredibly cowardly, and I’m certainly not predicting any public rebuke.

I can’t imagine actually believing China has been damaged immensely by removing Maduro.

Seems pretty simple at this point, either Trump believes a reset is on the way (or will be caused), and/or he believes the new world order would be better serve the U.S., so:

> See previous map posted, Israel will be protected by all groups -> new world order
> Europe really has no cards to play
> Europe can pretend longer but if the current financial system continues, they have no long term cards really against Russia or the U.S.
> If they don't play ball, sanctions can not only be put into place on Europe but further lifted on Russia

As mentioned many years ago, Europe has options -> just no good ones, and they will probably get worse

 

[LSU-SIU]

They usually at least try to make up a lie as to why we need to invade like drugs, terrorist, yellow cake, etc. This is just because our dear leader got his feelings hurt over a medal and then confused Greenland with Norway

Exactly, we make up reason X or Y, but in this case now they are the target and they have a problem. I'm not saying I agree with the plan but as far as Europe... (I'm glad I got to live and visit there)

Economic and Energy Implications

Venezuela’s vast oil reserves are central to China’s energy security strategy, with roughly 80% of Venezuelan exports previously going to China, though current volumes are diminished due to the country’s economic decline. The U.S. intervention risks diverting Venezuelan oil away from China, potentially weakening its energy supply and complicating repayment of loans extended to Caracas.

Except the initially reasoning for going after Venezuela was fentanyl. Remember all those short range boats that were going to make the trip to the US mainland?

Are you now claiming they were planning on stealing the oil and making Rubio the grand ruler all along?

 

[DinkinFlicka]

9 second mark.....Denmark promised $200 million for the security of Greenland but only spent 1% of that amount......cannot take the Danes at their word....Denmark cannot afford to develop or defend Greenland....have not developed roads to connect towns...

Denmark hates Greenland.

What's it like being a robot running an OS from 2002?

I do believe that that was a reason, but I also believe that it was one among many within their geopolitical aspirations.

Listen, Trump is petty and often sounds like an idiot. It's no reason to sound petty and idiotic in response. You can see the effects of it and call him petty and idiotic without making outlandish claims that the geopolitical effects were all a Mr. Mcgoo accident and he was just in it because of being Nobel-snubbed.

It doesn't sound like it will be like that everywhere, but in that case, more or less - its a U.S. vessel going forward for now.

 

[EasternVol]

Macron's talk at the WEF Forum today. Not too bad especially for Macron. I wonder who gets to tell Trump that a lot of it's about him.

And Von der Leyen's. The Greenland part starts about 18:00.

 

[Delmar]

There's plenty that can be used to resist Trump and it wouldn't need to be a military. This Greenland stuff is complete nonsense from a guy who's clearly losing it

You think the Greenland stuff is embarrassing then you should see this press conference that he’s doing right now in “celebration” of the first anniversary of his second regime. It really is a pitiful exhibition. Everything that is making us the laughingstock of the free world is on display. How anybody can believe one word out of his mouth is beyond me.

Russia and China are not going to invade it -- at least for the foreseeable future. The U.S. is changing the world order and they will not allow a foothold of Russia/China in the map area (Greenland). The orange man has them chasing their own tail. They have no cards, at least by themselves.

Proof that Europe couldn't get themselves out of a cardboard box.

 

[BreatheUT]

No, I am not an expert, but I can read. Your boy is pathetically embarrassing this country again. Let me guess: You still proudly support him.

If you would've stopped after the second comma I would've given you 10 likes.

 

[EasternVol]

There is no reason to be optimistic when Republicans make excuses for Trump and blame "bad advice", rather than holding Trump accountable for his actions.

That's probably to suggest a way out to Trump, and to get out of the way of his next tantrum.

Who are we starving for energy?

I'd say China and Russia's ability to wage war has been decreased. You're probably correct that "starving" would be an overstatement.

Or it's relieved them of a drain on their resources.

I quit watching him during COVID. He's clearly not of sound mind anymore

I just keep wondering how much it's going to cost to remove all the gaudy gold from the white house.

Look at the Venezuelan share of PRC's imports. They can make that up elsewhere with no problem.
