Will Poland help defend Greenland against US Imperialism

That's been a given for a few years now. At least they're open.

Of course if trumpet starts messing around with Greenland etc, he'll be on his own with that one.

Did you know that China in a few years time will be able to turn off the water for a huge part of India. To do with a major river being dammed. They think a long way ahead and plan very carefully.

Yes however did you miss what I posted ?

Sounds like it is getting very close was my point.
That and they have a more powerful Navy in that area than the U.S. does to counter them.
So if Russia can take Ukraine and China can take Taiwan why can't Trump take Greenland ?

Noi, I saw it and don't disagree.
They can't, in the sense of "can't" for permission, and Putler hasn't 'taken' Ukraine despite getting.

Putler and Xi are both twats and their behaviour is unacceptable to the international community.


He's a twat too. Do you really want a president with the absent moral compass of Putler and Xi?

Oooh, the big bad boys down the street are shoving fireworks up cats arses? Why can't I?

I don't disagree even though Trump was elected by the people to do a job.
You can't play fair with your enemy if you want to win.
And that is why Trump is the best man for the job.
Like when they told Trump how corporations were cheating on their taxes Trump replied that he was very aware of it as he did it himself.
HA !
Who better to be in charge than a criminal to correct the problems of the Swamp criminals.
You think Trump is going to play fair with his enemies ?

Indeed however that job wasn't to take a friendly country's sovereign territory.

There is already a very large military base there and has been for decades. There's no reason to invade and every reason not to.

Like Paulina, you need to calm down. Trump's not going to invade Greenland or Canada or Panama.

I suspect that it's poker talk (meant for russian ears: you guys wanna get out of the 'rules based' order? what if the US decides the same thing?)

The most likely effect is the US gets more.... lucrative access to resource extraction in Greenland (which neither Denmark nor Greenland can do on its won) and increased military presence within the current political status quo. Greenland independence is not a viable option (scale, human capital etc). After some years of increased US presence it might slide into the US sphere as a territory or something but that's for the Greenlanders to decide (nb. many Danes would love getting rid of Greenland since the place is currently a money pit for them).

It amazes me that so many people still take Trump's rhetoric seriously when there is a very long track records showing a big disparity between what he says and what he does...

I know that already and don't especially need to calm down unless calming down means stopping laughing and stopping any empathy for the people over there who have to put up with that person of bad character who says things like that.

I'd be happier though if your country wasn't about to be governed for 4 years by a gobshite who talks about that.

Some guy in the pub or one of the daft rightwingnuts here can come out with crap like that as much as they like. Elected heads of state or government should watch their tongues more carefully and it is a serious sign of instability and rabble-rousing populism. That never ends well.

At least he and that Namibian Bond villain give us all something to laugh about.

You took the words right out of my mouth maf.

Who has Trump invaded.
Don't take Trump literally all the time jon.
Same when I am obviously being sarcastic with my posts.
You Europeans take them literally to control the narrative to your liking even if you know I didn't mean them literally.
Trump ain't gonna invade Greenland to make it a U.S. territory.
Now he might rightfully declare a National emergency at the Canal and Southern border however.

Who has he openly and recently "not ruled out" invading.

Anyway, he'd not get away with invading and nor is Greenland for sale.

What's the point of electing someone and then saying "ignore 90 percent of what he says" ?

Why not just elect a normal person instead ?

If his negotiation tactic is "ask for a horse if you want a cat" , well it maybe worked in 1990s wild east Poland but we grew out of that. He might make a few small gains but the ultimate result will be that American will be less trusted and lose the clear leadership it had for 80 years.

Get this, Europe's alliance with the US is not based on your military (which is far less successful in actual wards like Vietnam or Iraq) but rather in the fact that we see you as the biggest peaceful, free market, free speech, democracy and generally on the right side of arguments.

that is sadly my opinion too

btw I have just read it: 57 per cent of the inahabitants of Greenland want to join the US: thehill.com/policy/international/5081836-one-poll-finds-majority-of-greenland-respondents-support-joining-us/

The US tried that with Obama and Biden.... and the results were terrible. Trump was probably better than either of those losers (or W), so you put up with the nonsense to get the better results.

The best you had in decades.


I'm struggling to think of a war they've ever won on their own.

Is this crazy British backward talk for 'the worst'? He left everything worse off.... I don't know of any american who look back fondly at his time in office.

Clinton (for all his horndog habits) was actually a good president. Trump was sort of mediocre but the bar had been set very low by his predecessors.

He was good. Sad he couldn't have a third term. It would have kept the disaster that followedout of office.

Some people must have liked Obama - he was reelected with a pretty convincing majority in 2012

So no need to panic. The problem was solved peacefully.

Depending which country you are talking about? From the German point of view, it was perfectly fine.

On the other hand standard of living rapidly improves all over the globe

It has some internal issues and a few local powers are growing but in my estimation, the US is still alive and kicking.

Nah, China is overrated. Sure, they have a few strong points and mean business, but their culture will drag them back. I bet on the US.
We need to get rid of the LGBT nonsense and gender nonsense and other crazy nonsense and start being normal.

I am surprised that it's only 57 percent, not 99.

They would instantly be US citizens and qualify for special minority privileges, welfare, free trans surgeries...They could even shoplift without fear of being arrested.

If their DNA shows one speck of Kamala blackness, they could demand reparations... Plus 2 senators...Wow...


Now you are my best friend for life - even if you call me names later...

That doesn't make sense, since they certainly don't.


More than some, more than a few.


How do you propose that? The Nazis tried and also "got rid of" people with disabilities. I doubt you are suggesting that too.

20% of high school girls self-id as LGBTs. How did that happen?

Easy. It's a social contagion that can be undone just as quickly and easily as it came.

I would need an hour to convince them that this shlt is sick and destroys society.

Okay, I understand. Should Putin then be allowed to take Ukraine, China be granted permission to invade Taiwan, and the US given the OK to take over Panama and Greenland? I mean, as long as you're powerful why not take whatever you want? Rule of the jungle, that's so 19th century and totally uncivilized. What will stop Putin when the Yanks pull out of NATO? A little nuke on Warsaw and Poland is done, you know what I mean.

sigh, back to the nukes again ?

They don't work and we are not scared.

As is anywhere stupid enough to use a strategic nuclear weapon on another country's capital.


NATO has three nuclear powers and in any case, trumpcvnt and his advisers are not stupid enough to withdraw from NATO.

Agree to disagree

Makes no difference.
--

Talking about ideologies and crazy laws no people, people can well continue without them.
---

Again, meaningless.

It's hard to think of any western democracy that has 'crazy laws'.

I think you don't understand.
--

All of them have crazy laws.
Hate crimes, men can become women on a whim, LGBT sexualizes children against parents' will, and all kinds of sexual preferences outside the norm are privileged.
And so on. Foreign criminals crossing borders willy-nilly are not being deported. whoever speaks out against it is being prosecuted by the state.

Who is going to stop him - you?

Because the smart boys refuse to date them in fear they are going to cry rape.
Its not like the old days when all a guy had to do is ask a girl if she wanted to smoke a dooby.
