Vice President JD Vance traveled to Greenland to promote President Donald Trump’s claim that America has to have the Danish territory—and that Greenlanders would be more secure under U.S. protection.President Trump “has repeatedly suggested the U.S. should take over Greenland ‘one way or the another...
What in the fuck even is this Greenland thing? There is obviously no way that any one would have ever taken it seriously so why even put it out there?
Is this reaction fog of war they are injecting into the media narrative to obscure the fact they are running disappearance/ concentration camps?
It’s between a potential trade route for the US and Russia as well as an increasingly important route for military vessels and eventually high amounts of trade as populations move further north due to global warming, which they obviously believe in when they plan their own future actions.
Hmm. You think this might be an extension of Russian foreign policy?
So instead of “What does Trump gain from this?” we should be asking “What does Putin gain from this?”.
That is one of those things I’ve never really been able to fully wire in. Why is Trump seemingly so perpetually willing to enact (and somehow aware of) Putin’s will? Its totally out of character for him. Trump is incredibly predictable. Maybe one of the most predictable people there is. Whatever serves Trump, most directly and completely, whatever elevates him above all others; this is the thing he will do.
And yet he always defers to Putin. I’ve never fully understood this. I know we can all speculate, blah blah, peepee tapes, blah blah we all hate Trump sure.
But it still doesn’t match. He’s a guy who doesn’t keep promises. He doesn’t pay his debts. He’ll lie, cheat, steal, anything, to set the situation up to serve himself. Why is he keeping this one? Why is his loyalty/ sycophantry to Putin beyond reproach?
‘There is obviously no way that any one would have ever taken it setiously’ is exactly how we came into the shitstorm that is the trump administration. Twice. The public needs to hold politicians to their word, no matter how absurd. If they can’t be serious when addressing their base, how serious can we expect them to be when dealing with allies and adversaries?
‘Bro, your wife is so hot I dream of sleeping with her all the time’
‘Hitler wasn’t so bad, he was acting in the interest of the country’
When does it end? Both those statements deserve a swift punch in the face.
No one is rejecting the seriousness of whats going on. If you dont get that, then spend more time developing context for the comments you are responding to.
