1. If you're underestimating Trump, you'll lose the election โ
2. Says you and what ๐ข๐ณ๐ฎ๐บ?
3. There's no need for the US to conquer anything: Just rely on the fact that nobody will launch an attack against US-military nerds for fear of being maimed.
4. March 8 2029 Trump will still be president.

It scares me so much if people are like "haha, that's never gonna happen" about Trump's plans. E.g., Blinken "The idea expressed about Greenland is [...] obviously one thatโs not going to happen."
People didn't believe what Hitler was up to until it was too late โ although he had said it clearly.

I hope so, too. Speaking of which: How are the preparations in the US for defending yourself against Trump staying in office until 2035?

We have to find an answer to this other than just throwing up. Trump is a real and concrete existential threat. We need to figure out what to do about him.

We need to make ourselves ready to spill American blood. There's just no other way stopping Trump.

No, who would you buy it from? Trump-45's idea was just imbecile.
This time, he's wisened up, and he's just going to take it. US military is already here โ who's going to stop him? The EU? ๐

We need to scrap the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, so countries can defend themselves against the US. Without a serious bloodbath, Trump will be in office until 2035...

Even without US leaving NATO there's the EU treaty's mutual defense article 42(7). But would we really attack the US? They're already on Greenland...
I sure hope!

Unfortunately, it's not that easy. Denmark would request NATO assistance, but decision at NATO are taken unanimously, and US would, of course, object.
There's also EU mutual defense clause, but knowing the heroism (sarcasm) of my EU compatriots โ Greenland is gone already.

... in the last free & fair election in the US in the foreseeable future. Or does anybody still think that Trump will leave his legacy at the risk of the outcome of free and fair elections? Remember January 6? It only failed because Pence wasn't "loyal" โ a mistake Trump won't make again.

Take the Magat seriously. There's no greater danger anywhere, than underestimating your adversary.

Without effective deterrence, Trump will take Greenland by executive order. Who is going to stop him? Military, law enforcement โ his cronies are in control everywhere.
Greenland needs nukes, or it will be state numero (ah who's counting).

I don't get why US Democrats are still so naive... You missed a coup and resurrection by the width of a hair in January 2021, but still you're like "Haha, Trump is saying stuff that he won't do anyway, haha."
Seriously: Trump is setting things up to be your president until 2035.
08.03.2025 20:27 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0
Yeah... problem is, Trump is too smart (yes, weird sentence) to go to (even trade-) war with too many countries at the same time...

In Europe, I think we're by far not taking it seriously enough. Europe's Big Strength is wishful thinking, I'm afraid. Like Starmer always insisting that the US is a reliable ally โ We need to wake the fuck up!

There is no reason not to take the Canada and Greenland stuff seriously. It is having real effects and Trump's whole political career has been boundary pushing and mainstreaming the previously unthinkable.

Yeah... That would be, like, telling a vice president not to certify the election result, if the "others" have won. That's also one of those thoughts where there's no reason to take it seriously.

I hope you're not American. If you are, there'll probably loads of things that will happen that we all thought (and hoped) could never possibly happen.
