1. There are always Republicans who support his shit

Supporters said Mr. Trump was onto something. “This idea isn’t as crazy as the headline makes it seem,” Representative Mike Gallagher, Republican of Wisconsin, said last week, calling it “a smart geopolitical move.”

“The United States has a compelling strategic interest in Greenland,” he continued, “and this should absolutely be on the table.”

2. Can somebody tell Rethugs we already have a large island they seem unable to care for?

It's called Puerto Rico.

3. I thought you were going to say the US part of North/Central America (it is technically an island)

4. Roman Empire for real, ffs (as we would have to literally TAKE Greenland at gunpoint with a cash

payment tossed at Denmark to make it appear to be quasi-legit)

5. Sort of like how we took the Am Southwest...

Manifest Destiny, y'know.

6. the really fucked up thing is that IF Rump gets re-elected (that's the big nightmare in itself) and

IF the Rethugz keep the Senate, he might cut a deal with Putin, to let Russia do a smash n grab on the Baltics or the Ukraine or Georgia, in return for Rump gangstering Greenland AND maybe even Russia giving the US and Israel a free run at Iran.

Who would stop either from doing any of it? Only each other. The EU has no standing army really, Denmark is a nation of less than 6 million. The US IS basically NATO, and the UK might stand down if Putin-arse-lick BoJo is still the PM.

I can SO see much of that happening.

Trump LITERALLY just called himself the Chosen One, ordained by Gawd, and the King of the Jews (more or less.) He is fucking BONKERS.

We are rocketing into a Bizarro World of Death.
