        Like everyone’s bigoted elder who tones it down just a notch until their Great Leader is in charge again and they feel like they get carte blanche.

      He has rallied the Christofascists around him with four years to reorganize, has escaped all punishment for his first insurrection, has the support of Putin once again, has the world’s richest Nazi on side and funding him, and is emboldened.

    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.

    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.”

      So far Trump is all talk, of course he hasn’t yet been sworn in, but until the invasions he threatens about become real he is not worse than Putin.

      Here’s hoping he’s all bark and no bite.

    I say we let him have it. No, seriously! Just like we should let Musk have his Mars mission.

    Give 'em a little certificate. “Look, you now own the thing! Good job!”

            Sure is! I haven’t seen it in ages either LOL. I probably haven’t seen it in more than a decade (or two?!) by this point. I wonder how it holds up? It’s definitely one of the classic “so bad it’s a masterpiece” kinda movies hahaha.

      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.

        In one fell swoop the US would be dismembering itself from its most important geopolitical allies and secondary trade partners. There is absolutely no win here for the US unless NATO balks at US intimidation and decides to let Greenland go without a military response, which would open the door for more US bullying for lunch money. NATO must resist with force. Greenland is not worth the consequences, no matter how many minerals or shipping routes control there are in it. I suspect Trump will try the intimidation to the last moment possible, but i have big doubts that he will actually invade or be allowed to invade and intimidation never worked well against Europeans.
