Just your daily reminder that the President of the United States is a raving lunatic who, were it not for an accident of birth, would right now be sitting in the corner of a seedy bar somewhere mumbling toothlessly into a beer.
- He’s a raving lunatic with the most powerful army in the world at his disposal, who has threatened to annex multiple sovereign states - and no checks or balances.
  
  Good luck keeping that military fueled, fed and maintained for more than a couple of months when embargoes start to hit and your resource supplies stop flowing in from the countries he's pissing off.
- He'd have died a long time ago.
  
  All those special covid drugs kept him alive.

- Well yeah! A crisis like that is a good excuse to never hold elections again, Constitution be damned.
  
  It's also a good excuse to [redacted and illegal act of protest]
won't someone rid me of this turbulent russian asset?!
He’s trying to become Putin 2. Just invading everyone near by to add them to their federation. He’s like a dragon needing more gold.
Good thing that only Congress can declare war

- When was the last time the US entered a war declared by congress?
- You don't need to declare war to annex a country. tap head
Donald should not mess up with Denmark. They may not have the cards, but they have the eggs. Think of the eggs ...
Assume he would, what do y'all think will happen? Technically I guess all NATO countries should defend Greenland, which means war with the US, which means kick-starting WW3. On the other hand, if the US attacks NATO is there even an alliance left? I think there might very well be countries who, when faced with the option of cowardice or war with the US, will say "fuck it, NATO is void and we really don't want to be nuked over Greenland".
If at all possible, I'd really love it if we can postpone WW3 until after I'm dead.
- Nato allows to say "fuck it", because Nato article 5 only requires some support.
  But EU article 42 requires support by all means.
  However, because of the implication, nothing military will happen.
  Question remains: would such an act be enough motivation for Congress to impeach Trump?
Bullshit
if the greenlanders vote to join murica then so be it. if its the will of the people i accept that.
- That's not what Trump has in mind. And it's not what Greenlanders want. In fact, being American right now is not what anyone wants.
