@patriot_pines @tuanwrg@BMeiselas If you’re “going to buy it” then it shouldn’t be a problem for your government to plainly and publicly state, “we’re not going to take it by military force.”
@RoRigi63@reportingLibya@RodKahx lol. “Many Americans.” The idea of acquiring Greenland is less popular than your President. And given all his numbers are underwater, that’s saying something.
@patriot_pines @tuanwrg@BMeiselas Are you hearing yourselves? “When we get another country, we can get what we want.” So, the US is different from Russia (an aggressor nation), how exactly?
@Stephen32979327@trisagoras@RodKahx He literally said “we don’t want to be the world’s policeman anymore.” Well, he’s sure doing a lot of policing. “Law enforcement” strike in Venezuela. Threatening strikes in Iran. Saying only the US can ensure “World Peace” through control of Greenland.
@blametrudeau@dgardner Diversifying trade is a universally good idea that is long overdue, completely aside from Trump. Even the Conservatives’ God-King Stephen Harper thinks so. And HE certainly had no issues forging economic relationships with China.
@patriot_pines @BMeiselas All I can say is that if you don’t want your sons to die in any wars, then don’t go around rattling your sabres trying to start one.
@patriot_pines @BMeiselas There is no logical conversation that can be had about the idea of a secretive push to create some pre-planned “New World Order.” Because the very premise is inherently illogical.
@patriot_pines @BMeiselas I’m not afraid of dying either. And I’m not European. I’m Canadian. You know, the other country that has had its sovereignty threatened by your President.
@RoRigi63@reportingLibya@RodKahx There is nothing different about today that makes NATO less effective or obsolete other than blatant American greed and avarice. Stephen Miller even said tonight that American control of Greenland isn’t about national security but about Arctic competition.
@patriot_pines @BMeiselas The founding fathers of America weren’t uniformly Christian. Most of them were Deists.
And right now, the only government in the world that looks like the kind of apocalyptic, world-destroying government that fundamentalist Christians fear, is yours.
@patriot_pines @BMeiselas There is no global “New World Order” conspiracy. And every single person who voted for Trump because they swallowed an alt-right boogeyman story is an idiot.
@RoRigi63@reportingLibya@RodKahx They already did. When you asked them. The only country to trigger Article 5.
They’ve already proven themselves. Now why should THEY believe that YOU will ever come to their aid if needed?
@DonatoBardi @bruceanderson No he is. Completely wrong. Denmark doesn’t defend Greenland. NATO defends Greenland. And, as important as the US is to NATO, they still only contribute 16% of funding. So no, Denmark is NOT asking the US to defend Greenland at 100% US cost.
