Invading Greenland - suicide.

Do you honestly think you are changing anyone’s mind? As awful as he is, he’s still a better president than she would have been.
@Mik said in Invading Greenland - suicide.:

No, he's not. But it's irrelevant.

In my reality the alternative would have been named Nikki Haley. None of this constant uncertainty and chaos in trade, foreign or domestic policy would be happening.
No one can say she didn’t warn the world of what this maniacal demogogue would unleash if put back in office

Let's be honest, the fucking meteor would be doing a better job at this point.

Paul Krugman quote from Substack:
· A tariff to promote territorial expansion is clearly illegal, under any sane interpretation of U.S. trade law. This is on the Supreme Court, which is obviously dithering while the world burns
· Trump thinks, or at least wants to believe, that tariffs are a Veg-O-Matic policy that can accomplish all goals. They slice! They dice! They eliminate budget deficits! They reindustrialize! They intimidate foreigners!

SCOTUS really needs to pull it's finger out. What worries me is where said finger might be currently inserted.

Read and reflect. Rosenberg gets it. The Kremlin has nothing but derision and mockery directed at Trump and his minions:
In an astonishing article, the Russian government paper is full of praise for Trump and critical of European leaders who oppose a US annexation of Greenland.
"Europe does not need the American greatness that Trump is promoting. Brussels is counting on 'drowning' the US president in the midterm congressional elections, on preventing him from concluding the greatest deal of his life."
"Greatest deal"? The reporter explains what he means. I have to keep reminding myself I am reading the Russian government newspaper, not a pro-Trump publication in America.
"With Greenland, the US becomes the second largest country in the world after Russia, surpassing Canada in area. For Americans, that's on par with such planetary events as the abolition of slavery by Abraham Lincoln in 1862 or the territorial conquests of the Napoleonic Wars.
"If, thanks to Trump, Greenland becomes part of America…for sure the American people will not forget such an achievement."
Then a message, presumably dictated word for word from the tyrant Putin himself:
”It is dangerous for the American president to back down over Greenland. This would weaken the position of the Republican Party in the midterm elections and likely result in a Democrat majority on Capitol Hill with the ensuing consequences for Trump. Whereas a rapid annexation of Greenland before the elections can change this political trend."
