Fun fact the medieval Norse colony of Greenland predates the migration of the Inuit to the region. This has no bearing on anything because all of those people died, left, or assimilated with the Inuit.

But regardless the Danes have probably the third strongest claim to the land. The US has fuck all claim to the territory and I hope to see my beloved Republic freed from these profligates in DC.

Native Americans: first time?

This is missing the rest of it where he says "we were probably there too" (paraphrasing, I don't remember what was actually said) implying that either the US or white people were there 500 years ago. It is really ridiculous.

"And by the way, I'm a fan of Denmark, too, I have to tell you. ... But, you know, the fact that they had a boat land there 500 years ago doesn't mean that they own the land. I'm sure we had lots of boats go there also," he said.

Say it again but about the mayflower

He is simply and clearly steering towards WW3.

He needs oil to power the army, Venezuela provides him with the resources. He has just increased the military budget by 50% to 1.5 trillion dollars. You don't need 1.5 trillion dollars for defence. He renamed the department of defense to department of War. It's always right in front of your nose with this guy, but everyone refuses to believe someone can be such a retard.

This is not a "Trump problem".

He's the scapegoat, he's the public stumbling goofy sun-downing mook.

If Trump dies tomorrow, the machine will keep running.

It's always been the Department of War, regardless of the name.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

Except Trump obviously brings the numbers. Unless there are literally no more elections ever again, how would they get votes?

[–] Yeller_king@reddthat.com 2 points 19 hours ago

But...we don't even really need oil!

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

The Venezuelan oil is sour garbage that we don't have the industrial resources to process in a meaningful way. There might be shit tons of it, but as it stands we can't do very much with it.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 17 hours ago

Well he's strategically planning for a war. It's only slightly mired by the fact that he's a brainless moron.

He probably thinks you can just pump oil out of the ground and directly into a vehicles fuel tank. Look at that aircraft that Saudi Arabia is giving him, he's so goddamn pleased with it even though it's a piece of junk because he thinks that the thing is the goal, in and of itself. He has no idea that processes need to happened to make that end goal.

I'd love to watch him play any kind of game that involves strategy and planning because I'm reasonably confident he'd suck at it.

this is entirely consistent with their worldview that owning something by force makes it right

[–] Echolynx@lemmy.zip 3 points 20 hours ago

"Might makes right"

[–] PugJesus@piefed.social 101 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Holy fucking shit.

This timeline just keeps getting dumber.

This is the fucking savior of half of the voting population of the United States.

I honestly can't tell if satire is dead or satire is now so easy nobody can make a living from it.

Only last week I made a joke about Musk locking CSAM generation behind Grok Premium, and yesterday he did exactly that...

[–] jared@mander.xyz 25 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Or will become the only honest news source.

[–] ClownStatue@piefed.social 10 points 1 day ago

It’s been training its whole life for this administration!

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

They did pick up a lot of the Teen Cosmo staff.

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago

Also doesn't take away from the fact that Trump is a pedophile.

[–] ShittDickk@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago

He doesn't think Americans own America either, he thinks he does.

[–] DandomRude@lemmy.world 32 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Who can still take this ridiculous saber rattling by the orange rapist seriously when it is completely obvious that he is only trying to distract attention from his crimes? It's really getting old.

[–] PugJesus@piefed.social 48 points 1 day ago (16 children)

He literally just kidnapped the head of state of another country using military force.

"An attempt to distract from his crimes" and "A serious threat to international peace" are not mutually exclusive.

If you solve domestic political problems with foreign policy, then you have arrived in the middle of authoritarianism.

[–] DandomRude@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes, I consider that a given: it's the classic autocratic strategy.

He wants a war before midterms as a reason to prevent them.

Sorry but this is not correct. He is not only trying to distract from the Epstein files. It will take years to not only build but actually prosecute a criminal case against him and he’s a billionaire. Please stop making it sound so simple when it’s so much more dangerous than that

He wants to do big and dramatic things and truly live as the most powerful person on earth and you should take everything he says seriously until proven otherwise.

His administration is filled with proactively violent enablers and ideologues who are not only responsible for wanting Greenland in the first place but will happily carry out his deranged orders if he thinks listening to them will make him a great historical figure

This is satire, right? Right?

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 17 hours ago

Yeah the US should have sent a boat then. Frankly it's poor planning on their part just assuming they can get away with not existing for 300 years.

[–] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 6 points 1 day ago

This is what you voted for USAians. And there isn't a damn thing you can do about it. Literally nothing. They'll kill you in your cars with "absolute immunity" if you even think about it.

Hoo rah.... indeed.

[–] fort_burp@feddit.nl 5 points 1 day ago

Cool do Israel next

[–] Gonzako@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

If there's a war I'd volunteer myself for would be a non-US Nato VS the US. I wanna leave the world a better place that I found it and I find that ever more unlikely

[–] BigBenis@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago

The irony is palpable and the fact that it goes entirely over his head is pathetic.

[–] xxce2AAb@feddit.dk 9 points 1 day ago

"But what is time really? 500 years, 50 years - I can't even remember any of my last presidency, but I'm told it was tremendous."

[–] OwlPaste@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago
