Trump, Greenland, and the Dangerous Return to Imperial Thinking

[Basman]

American territorial aggression normalizes it geopolitically. If the US gets to invade and take countries, why shouldn't Russia or China? It's a dangerous precedent which makes the world less safe overall.

I do feel in many ways the EU is surrounded by enemies and is left with no choice but to fight or diminish. Its a dangerous situation for some of the best-trained, technologically capable, and, quite frankly, experienced countries at fighting war on the planet. Influence is under attack in Africa, Russia is pressing from the east, and now in the far west America is ready to attack.

The EU countries need nuclear profileration and they need to rearm quicker than they are doing.

Stealing land is an old thing. The unique thing about what trump is doing is that he consider to steal from allies.

Funny way to say that the unique thing about what Trump is doing is stealing from white people.

People are chocked but this is not a surprise. Stealing and acquiring property goes way back. 

Yeah when Russia stole two continents by killing everyone on them and declaring it theirs. The North American and Australian continent. Oh wait that was Europeans. There are levels to savagery. You can't steal a meal and then compare that to the guy who stole a toothpick.

Europe should fund and help democrats back in to power. We should start also cutting Russian cabels. The worldwide left needs to come together and start fighting against Far right lunatics. We need to jail every far right party members. We must work together all around the world to bring down far right in every country

I know your intention is good, however I would refrain from attacking or jailing the far right politicians. It would only create a precendent for the far right to jail politicians on the left later on. Currently it looks like Trump wants to put Jerome Powell in jail, like the Trump admin can basically create any excuse and put you in jail. Hell, they can even unleash the ICE agents upon you.

The Democrats need to fix the existing US problems when they get back into power again, which is next to impossible at this point. I've really no idea what they can do but just to reset the US at this point, which comes with a lot of pain.
