Totally, man.

Thank you for sharing your opinion.

there is no downside in the EU doing the right thing

I feel like that’s a really easy thing to say if one ignores that Europe has lived through two world wars and many of the people who fought them are still alive.

You’re right.

I should give the international banker who is currently doing his best to run his country into the ground more credit because he stepped up to the podium and said nice things.

This would be rousing to me if Carney weren’t an international banker who’s a-okay with runaway capitalism taking over his country in the same way it’s decimated the US.

I’m so jealous of countries that possess the capacity to react in a reasonable way to gun violence.

The only difference is that Trump does not hide behind cynical “diplomatic” statements.

100%

Well, 98%. There are a handful of good things those evil bastards did.

There was USAID, and the US helped its enemies rebuild their countries after WWII, and the US was (generally) a good ally via NATO. But did we cozy up to every two-bit dictator willing to let our corporations plunder their country? You betcha we did.

And the ones who wouldn’t we just murdered and did it anyway, often letting the death squads our country funded devastate and pillage along with us.

The limpest of limp dick energy.

Oh no. What an awful accident!

Solidarity, baby. Dig it.

I mean on Iran, not Greenland, with regard to China and Russia. Basically I just want to see these countries’ allies act.

I wish all wars were so wholesome.

Undoubtedly.

The US Government’s posturing, diplomatic and otherwise, for rights in the the Arctic and northern territories has been happening at least since the Obama administration. It’s a recognition that climate change is going to make it feasible to mine and drill in these places that were previously inaccessible.

I love seeing all the movement from Europe regarding Greenland.

I hope we’ll see similar movements from China and Russia on Iran, because as much as Donald’s demented brain might think he’s all-powerful, his underlings can probably make the connection that a 2AM kidnapping is a fair bit different than the prospect of fighting an insurgency and destroying our European alliances.

Stand up to our dumbass president, please.

The Vietnamese beat us with a few guns, tunnels, and booby traps.

And we napalmed the whole-ass jungle.

Sure, the US can bomb the shit out of Greenland, but that’s not the same as ‘winning’, and this is especially true if we alienate all of our allies in the process.

You wrote ‘Rathsack’.

I read it as ‘Wrath-Sack’.

There is no realistic way to defend Greenland with actual arms against America.

Spoken like someone who hasn’t studied any US military history more recent than the 1940’s.

Christ, the man looks like a younger, buffer, Dolph Lundgren. I want to see him and Hegseth fight hand-to-hand now.

And it’s not like the US cares about losing a few grunts for millions of dollars.

Exactly the point. Likely the people that take that fire are people who come from an exceedingly poor class and have no value in our ruling parties’ eyes anyway. (Not saying I agree.)

Not that I’m aware of, but it’s only a matter of time with how wide this story is going.

I don’t have much in the way of hope, myself.
