History repeats itself.
I’m the guy usually defending diplomatic talk. It’s nothing like how we talk and interpret one another’s words.
OTOH, I’m screaming at world leaders to grow a pair.
“Fuck around and find out you you little trust fund bitch. Please, fuck around.”
High time the world stands up and says, “Nah. Fuck off America. We’ll take what comes.”
Signed, an American.
Is be fine with Europe, Canada and Mexico invading.
ELI5 how is Trump any better than Putin? Both seem to be following the same playbook of intimidation and unlawful invasions, showing utter disrespect to international law.
That’s exactly what Putin wants. He wants the US to behave as he does so that he can say, “see? The US is no better than me.”
There’s no such thing as international law. It’s free for all. If you have an army, you can also get what you want.
He is not and the US isn’t any better than Russia in that regard. All caused by people with bruised egos playing with people’s lives.
I think the US will be fighting the rest of the world and itself at the same time.
That’s kinda what they’re all about.
there’s a meme of some astronauts with guns that perfectly summarizes this
I think that meme melded with the spiderman meme…
Gotta love having a president that has to be warned by allies NOT to invade other countries. This is SO great!
Oh and since not everyone gets it…/s.
Distraction
I wonder how the US Congress will vote on this act of war.
… Warn America
If the USA attacks another NATO country, article 5 requires that the rest of NATO all pile on. None of those countries could individually do much, but you’d be loosing hundreds of thousands of soldiers and trillions of dollars to possibly take an icy rock with a population of 56000. It’s fucking stupid.
…besides the fact that two of those other NATO members have nuclear weapons, which severely complicates matters.
No-one is getting nuked over Greenland. That’d be retarded even by trump’s standards.
Depends on how the war goes. Nobody uses nuclear weapons as a first response but they’re always there as a reminder that if my country goes down, so does yours.
Besides, intercontinental force projection becomes a lot more complicated when your opponent has the ability, theoretical or not, to sink entire carrier groups at once.
I think it’d be more likely that Trump would get immediately kicked out of office if he actually managed to start a war with the EU. There’s a limit to how stupid the GOP is willing to be for him.
Counterproductive policies that can be used to pocket some more money? Sure, why not. But a war that threatens to fuck the economy, dramatically curtail international trade, and probably hand global hegemony over to China? Too risky for too small a reward.
Lol. Time of carrier groups is over my friend. 100 cheap naval drones will make short work of that.
Which is why Trump will also be working hard to undermine NATO in any way he can.
Oh his just swinging his mushroom dick to feel like he matters, because the other adderall sniffer is taking the spotlight.
US will make a stupid move, Russia will make a stupid move, China will make a stupid move.
