Trump also told the Times that he isn’t opposed to using nuclear force if he “needed it” to take over the Arctic island but that “it might upset NATO," since the island is a self-governing territory of NATO member country Denmark.

Seeing him hang from the neck is psychologically important to me, but I guess we can't always get what we want.

Honestly, as long as we leave him up, I'm willing to settle for any body part.

*He is the rapist.

Correct.

I think the thing people didn't put together in 2016 his "grab them by the pussy" comment was about children in his beauty pageants.

[–] cheers_queers@lemmy.zip 14 points 2 months ago (3 children)

understandable. i hear someone use the word pussy and my mind doesnt go right to little girls

Ummm... what? Did the media just sane wash this headline? Trump is ok with nuking his way into owning Greenland and we're just all ok with that?

[–] OneWomanCreamTeam@sh.itjust.works 26 points 2 months ago

That's still pretty batshit for a statement that's been sane-washed.

[–] merdaverse@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 months ago

The U.S. president told the paper in an article published on Jan. 8 that just "one thing" stands in the way of him and world dominance. "My own morality. My own mind," he said. "It’s the only thing that can stop me.”

Well, that's very reassuring

What's important for him psychologically, and the whole damn world, is that he takes his meds.

Honestly with all the mess he's been up to now, the Epstein files seem very unlikely to have any effect on him

[–] kingofras@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Maybe not on him, but there’s a bigger picture.

"it might upset NATO"

Dude, it would 100% be the end of NATO

Would not be the first time that the USA dropped nuclear bombs on Greenland

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968_Thule_Air_Base_B-52_crash

Although last time they covered it up and caused many workers to die later on due to nuclear exposure

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 40 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Uhhh....the coverup worked. I'm 42, and this is the first I've ever heard that we nuked Greenland. I feel like that SHOULD be common knowledge, but I'm willing to bet if I ask 100 random people, 0 will think I'm telling the truth if I told them we've nuked Greenland before.

[–] pillowtags@lemmy.dbzer0.com 34 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I mean, it’s not accurate to say we nuked them, as no nuclear detonation occurred. We did contaminate the area with radiation and likely harmed the Danish workers assisting in the cleanup.

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

The cleanup was performed by people who didn't know that these were nuclear weapons though.

Also:

Although they did not work at Camp Hunziker, the Danes worked at the Tank Farm where the contaminated ice was collected, in the port from which the contaminated debris was shipped, and also serviced the vehicles used in the clean-up.

The report also confirmed that the United States stockpiled nuclear weapons in Greenland until 1965, contradicting assurances by Danish foreign minister Niels Helveg Petersen that the weapons were in Greenland's airspace, but never on the ground

If it doesn't scare the shit out of you that this narcissistic psychopath just casually mentions that he would like to drop nukes, then it should

We've been on the brink of nuclear annihilation multiple times but always escaped fate because there were calm cool smart heads that intervened. Those heads are gone, it's now all removed narcissists.

This asshole is just casually blabbing about burning down the entire world, and there ain't shit we can do to stop or even change this.

I emailed my senators and my rep to tell them to do fucking SOMETHING about this sabre rattling. Write up some fucking legislation saying that the US cannot invade NATO nations, at the fucking minimum.

Will they listen? Take three guesses, first two don't count.

Honestly a little impressed he's able to use the word 'psychologically'. That's a lot of syllables.

[–] Kennystillalive@feddit.org 20 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

They should tell him, it's not green and there are not many kids to moleat over there.

I understand he is trying to destroy America, but this would make it nearly instant.

Why won't France and the UK state they'd nuke him back if he tried? They're NATO countries too and need to stand by in solidarity with an ally being attacked. Letting the orange Hitler do as he pleases will only embolden him to go after them later.

My psychiatrist gave me a prescription for an emotional support Greenland, legally you aren’t even allowed to ask me about it other than if it’s an emotional support Greenland, which it is.
