    Everything under Trump seems to trace back to Putin. I think they are doing this to give false legitimacy to Putin’s invasion into Ukraine. They will say “See? America is doing it so we can too”.

      plausible, even if just as a sideshow diversion. it’s one of the only ways to explain the flaming shit-train of bonkers greenland/mexico/canada/panama rhetoric

        It’s a flea circus. If you are watching/listening to something insane happening then you aren’t watching then steal an election in North Carolina or fast track a bunch of crazy deportation laws or Russian jets flying back and forth between NY, DC and wherever the fuck else.

        If you are drowning in propaganda you eventually lose sight of the real issues.

      Nope.

      The desire for Greenland is rational, but evil.

      Climate change is going to open up a lot of trade routes year round as a lot of the ice melts.

      Greenland is very strategically placed for controlling those trade routes. It’s basically the same reason Trump wants the Panama canel.

      Edit: Trump is bad. It is stupid that I have to say this, but if you want to fight someone you have to understand why they do things and you can’t just assume stupidity as that reason.

      We literally have a statement for this ‘Don’t underestimate your opponents’
