President Trump’s bellicose demands about Greenland and participation in his “board of peace” are deepening worries about the fate of the trans-Atlantic alliance.
President Trump on Tuesday escalated tensions with the United States’ longest allies, meeting diplomatic overtures with mocking online posts and threats of economic levies and territorial expansion, just hours before he was set to meet with European counterparts in the Swiss Alps.
Mr. Trump warned that he would impose a new round of tariffs against European nations unless they acquiesced to his demands that the United States take over Greenland. He invited President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia, who European leaders have sought to isolate to counter his invasion of Ukraine, to join his new “board of peace” to reconstruct Gaza. He shared a post on social media that claimed China and Russia were simply “boogeymen” and that the United Nations and NATO were “the real threat.”
The president even posted the private text messages of European leaders trying to strike conciliatory notes, and shared a computer-generated image of himself planting a flag on Greenland. “GREENLAND, US TERRITORY, EST. 2026,” read a wooden placard in the image.
And when asked how far he was willing to go to acquire Greenland, Mr. Trump told reporters at the White House: “You’ll find out.”
He shared a post on social media that claimed China and Russia were simply “boogeymen” and that the United Nations and NATO were “the real threat.”
It’s Trump secretly a hexbear poster?
the files must be pretty severe if he has do something as drastic, also taking orders from vladmir.
Every time I see “Board of Peace” I picture it written in marker on a cardboard fort with several letters spelled backwards- right next to a “no girls allowed” sign.
Can’t somebody just… nudge him down some stairs or something?
Watch out. Lemmy policy means you can’t say mean violent things about orange pedophiles. At least not while he’s still busy evading justice and committing more crimes and murdering us citizens and Venezuelan fishermen.
Whose policy?
The fine print in the footer of the website and a bunch of mods with an overdeveloped moral compass, who don’t seem to understand that in war time, you kill your enemy, you don’t negotiate.
I think their point is that it might be against Lemmy.world’s policies, but not Lemmy as a whole due to its federation.
This motherfucker could be shoving your mom into an oven and you’d be like “but what about the Epstein files?!?!”
We are literally days from an actual war between the US and Europe dumbass.
My mother is dead, and I don’t wish to be spoken to like that. You can downvote or walk away.
Then stop saying stupid shit.
Without swearing, using intelligible conversation, can you explore why you’re so upset and feel the need to attack people who only wish to voluntarily hold the worlds most famous pedophile to account?
I think you got it backwards, the Epstein files distract from him actually dismantling the world order.
What? Nobody is distracted by anything Epstein files right now, I can assure you.
There is no world order being dismantled don’t be dramatic. Just the USA. That’s why Putin invested in active measures in the 80s and 90s. The world order is constantly reordering itself, it’s not set in stone. And the USA’s position as top dog is over.
I was talking about making sure a guy who raped children, dodged the draft, cheated in 3 presidential elections and fucked pornstars when his wife was pregnant faces some form of accountability.
Michael Scott would make a better President than the orange fascist buffoon.
Absolutely agree
American storm troopers are going to be marching through Copanhagen and all in going to see on my social media will be “Small hands Cheeto sucks Putin dick”
Or ‘This is just a distraction from the Epstein files!’
