O/T:- Trump Presidency 2.0 [hic sunt dracones]

[Old_pie]

Greenland: So what's the play here? My guess, Russia starts a build up towards Greenland; Trump builds up troops and "rescues" Greenland persuading them to become the 51st state; Russia and Trump agree to share the spoils as a peace deal. Denmark pulls its hair out whilst the rest of Europe waves their arms in indignation.

The narrative coming out of the White House beats anything coming out of the Kremlin hands down. How can we make MEGA happen? (Make America Go Away?)

Wouldn't that still be MAGA?

Trump seems focused on MADA - Make America Despised Again.

Just had MEGAlomaniac in my head as I was typing.

Is there any insanity in the trump family line.

Is there any insanity in the trump family line.

Wrong question. Should be "is there ANY sanity in the trump family line"!

I seem to recall posting about this fear a few weeks back

Nato Secretary-General Mark Rutte’s warning about a potential Russian attack in Europe by 2030 further underscores the need for heightened vigilance.

"Today’s threats facing Europe are more complex than ever, and they are all interconnected," said Preparedness and Crisis Management Commissioner Hadja Lahbib, while introducing a new EU strategy designed to enhance disaster preparedness and response.

While the commission is keen not to be seen as alarmist, Ms Lahbib said it is important “to make sure people have essential supplies for at least 72 hours in a crisis”.

She listed food, water, flashlights, ID papers, medicine and shortwave radios as items to stock.

I'm surprised that large brown paper bags weren't also listed as I seem to recall that from the Cuba crisis. Otherwise I have the rest at hand including my short wave radio, last used on short wave to get the footy results when I was in the tropics ~1980/81 (Chelsea crackle crackle Notts crackle 2- I had to wait for the later results to fill the gaps).

USA used to be the BFG now under the new author Trump the USA has become the B unfriendly G.

Ah yes, if Putin isn?t stopped then he?ll take over all of Europe and have to pay everyone?s pensions. I bet he?s rubbing his hands together at the prospect.

Jeeze I knew Trump would sell Ukraine down the river, even I didnt expect the threats to Greenland. Vance is an utter fckin moron.

Still, the Dems are worse.

[Jampie]

That?s exactly what it means; that a people with similar political ambitions can create their own independent government or state.

You think that states can only become independent if the state from which they are seeking independence agrees?

No, it absolutely does not mean that.

Self determination is fulfilled by democratic elections.

And YES, you can't just carve a state out of another one because you feel like it. It's called the UNITED NATIONS not MAD REBELS CLUB

So much darkly worrying stuff happening over there. This, for example...

I was just joking with a friend last night that Trump would shut down the USGS soon because detecting earthquakes is too woke...

It seems less funny after reading that. I really dislike this weird fusion of Orwell and Idiocracy they have going on there

More MSN bull****,you lefty wishy washies should be growing a backbone not putting on your pink dresses and lipstick,your future families will not thank you for being cowards that get triggered with shouty words
The future is Trump, always has been since the cross-dressing clowns got some kind of recognition.

Could there BE a better display of pure courage and masculinity than calling a bunch of people cowards from the safety of your keyboard while also signalling that you're terrified of men in dresses?

Donbas had elections. But even if they didn?t, by your definition George Washington was a terrorist.

Washington predated the UN by several hundred years. If he pulled the same thing today, in say New England and tried to split off from the USA, yes he would absolutely be branded a terrorist and a traitor as he was at the time by the British, and the UN would not recognise his breakaway state.
