All this... has nothing to do with drugs. We are currently in 1938-1939 stage of where Hitler was starting Anschluss.
History might not be repeating but it is rhyming and this orange pedophile piece of shit is taking pages right out of the Fuhrer's book.
We took the oil fields, which Hitler failed to do before starving his war machine of gasoline. We're letting things settle in Venezuela before we take Greenland. Greenland is strategic as the Arctic sea lanes open and prospecting and mining become easier. Good place to defend the continent from air and sea.
Next? Mexico? No idea. But it looks like the US is making the same mistake as the Nazis, biting off more than we can chew based on the giddy atmosphere after initial wins and zero resistance. Yes, they're that fucking dumb. It's like they read the start of WWII history and called it a day.
Dumber even, Trump didn't pull the US from economic disaster into short-term prosperity, quite the opposite. At least Hitler had the population in thrall because their economic situation improved. That's, uh, not working out ATM, and there's no future where it does.
And worse, the cult leader is clearly dying of frontotemporal dementia. (Not my armchair take, many doctors and psychiatrists have outlined the clear evidence.) They're moving fast before Trump can't be stood in front of a camera.
The US can grab Greenland, Mexico, and Canada. Militarily, it’s straightforward. The US is so extremely superior, nobody will be able to stop them.
The US is self sufficient in oil. It doesn’t even need Venezuelan oil.
This situation isn’t comparable to Nazi Germany at all. Germany is in Central Europe and has major land powers in France and Russia plus the UK to contend with. The USA sit safe and sound, protected by vast oceans on both sides.
If history reminds me, many Germans were on board with that plan. This is pretty much all billionaires and bot farms that support this fucker and a few stragglers that never passed grade 3. It's going to go very bad for them, but it's gonna hurt a lot for us first
Only this time you won't have a Soviet Union to stop him.
Ohhh, you’re really gonna miss the communists being around this time!
Good thing the senate stopped him from bombing a country he already bombed and not other countries.
Oh my god, where does Donald Trump think we get our food from? We import so much food from Mexico. I live in Texas, and probably 75% of the produce in our stores is imported from Mexico. Does the man expect us to eat nothing but corn and soybeans?!
He doesn't care if you eat or not.
Well that's a quick path to revolution
Any society is about 3 days of hungry bellies away from revolution.
The rest of the shit he's pulled must be the slowest path.
He’s been rich since birth. He has no concept of where anything comes from or what consequences are because he’s been insulated by way of money from worrying about any of that.
Sorry, that's actually for exporting and fuel. You get dust and straw.
Oh my god just put cobalt 60 in his filet o fish and put us out of our misery
How's FIFA's "peace prize" going? He's going to directly attack another host nation,and continues sword-rattling about Canada. This is so fucking pathetic.
A war against our biggest trading partner. One where many of their nationals, and decedents live legally within our country. One we share a large land boarder with. A country that has voluntarily held migrants that want to enter our country on their side of the boarder. A boarder known to be porous.
This can only go well.
The plan is to probably round up all US citizens of Mexican descent and put them into concentration camps for extermination.
The US did this to Japanese Americans in WWII except didn't kill them.
Want to get really cynical? The US is expelling and torturing their slave labor. Immigrants do not receive any federal benefits, yet contribute hugely to the economy. 13,000,000 is the number I've heard, and that only covers undocumented immigrants, but they're going for all of them. Does anyone expect expelling 3-4% of our cheap workforce works out?!
No matter how cold-blooded one's take, this is fucking stupid.
Depending on how this goes, the US might have their own Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Vietnam, Yemen, or (insert a major conflict that has just been a quagmire for anyone involved) right on their border.
Well, he gave up on the idea of attacking a NATO country real quick. I wonder how US Congress might respond to this.
Give it a day.
Edit: It didn't even take that long. He's back at it.
More like a week...after he's blatantly attacked a sovereign ally. The GOP congress is too busy sucking Trump's rotting cock to actually do anything. And American people in their districts aren't hurting enough to be bothered removing them from office.
A day after it matters maybe.
He's still promising to seize Greenland too:
Trump: ‘We are going to do something on Greenland whether they like it or not’
Epstein files
this must be what it feels like to be russian. stop it. stop using the military like that.
the US is literally the most warmonger country to ever exist 😂
?
From agent Orange in Vietnam to rapes in Fallujah, nobody has done more harm to the world in the last 7 decades or so than the Americans, what are you talking about? 😅🤣
I wanted to point out Israel, but that's just America by proxy.
the US government does something it has been doing for most of the country's existence: "what are we, a bunch of Russians??"
all those military bases throughout the world just happen to be there right!
USSR: United Soviet Socialist Republic
Waiting for mid term elections, so that Trump will leave. Sit and watch, do nothing.
The world needs to start dealing with the individual sates of the "Unites staets"
Depending on how things go in Minnesota the States might not be so United soon.
At least half of us would prefer to be part of Canada.
I'm now thinking that leaked audio of him saying "start a war or something, i don't give a shit..." might not be AI... The rest of the epstein files must be really really nasty...
Do you have a link about that?
Bye-bye World Cup.
Mexico should just start bombing Texas if this goes down. Why not?! When in Rome...
Mexico has no bombers.
Yet. Yet. Something tells me they could get their hands on some RPGs easily at the very least. Insurgency can be very effective with improvised weaponry.
