Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Contents of said letter from daily beast: https://archive.is/YFBK3#selection-773.0-779.748

“Dear Jonas,” the president wrote to Norway’s prime minister, Jonas Gahr Støre. “Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a ‘right of ownership’ anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT.”

What's up with some people expecting everyone but Americans to fix America's shit?

Everything on your list is an American export besides Greenland.

[–] Doorbook@lemmy.world -1 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

It's not about fixing. We are looking at patterns of challenging international laws and order for the last 4 years, yet people pretend that threating to annex Greenland is the red line. Where in fact the red line should not exist when the leader is a criminal.

To be fair, in Europe everyone has realized the US is no longer a trustworthy ally, and steps are being taken away from depending on our old ally. But in this proces, officials won't speak their mind, because in some respects we are still vulnerable due to these dependencies. But that shouldn't obscure the fact that no one consider the US as an ally anymore, and that's not just after Greenland.

What is eroupe? Do you mean Europe?

Bullet points dont mean shit if you cant spell.

The best part is that since it's never capitalized either, it seems like they copied it so they wouldn't have to remember how to do it right thereafter, thereby locking in the error.

[–] Doorbook@lemmy.world 0 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I used the phone suggestions for some reason it suggests eroupe. I guess I misspelled it to many times.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

It sounds so French :)

Damn your age is showing. I haven't seen a grammar Nazi for at least 10 years now. Glad you are still around.

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 1 points 14 hours ago

Grammar Nazi? I was looking for clarification because of the horrible spelling. No corrections needed, just observing stupidity.
