The crazy thing is, the US already has a border with Russia, albeit via the Diomede islands.

Trump has all but said he can have Greenland the easy way or the hard way. What do you suppose he meant? 
What makes you think they hard way is war?

Put a 100% tariff on all imports , close the US embassy & air bases in the UK 
Seize all US owned assets including Trumps golf courses and build council houses on them
And if China tells kweer to do that I'm sure he will.

I'll bet he doesn't film himself with Ukrainian rent boys on a Huawei device anymore.
What is it you that every thread you have to mention cocks/rent boys/nonce etc etc

What signal is the US sending to Russia by “wanting Greenland”  What signal does that send to China who want to do the same with Taiwan? Can hardly blame them for invading if the US escalate this. 

He’s done some good things but on this Trump has badly overstepped the mark.

Along with the whole thing being a very handy distraction from the Epstein files which was clearly getting very close to outing him. Note since he started going on about Greenland again along with all this Venezuela stuff that's at least for now exited the news cycle.

Poor old Donald appears to be losing his marbles, he wrote a letter to the Norwegian PM:

“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America."

Has there ever been a democratically elected leader with such thin skin? Or such an odd realtionship with the truth.

Much of Trumps stuff i don't have any big issues with but the Greenland stuff is fucking insane, he is acting like a fascist dictator, never mind the Greenlanders not wanting to be taken over and his threats to Europe about it, he's gone way too far with this and needs to back down, what's next he will claim he needs Canada to be annexed as well?

He has also made comments about the midterm elections should be canceled, not good for America etc etc, maybe just off the cuff comments at this stage but if he does make good on that threat he needs to be replaced and the Reps need to start respecting democracy and the will of the people by allowing them to vote and respect the result, good or bad for them.

Trump & Putin …. Birds of a feather. Don’t trust either

Trump is shooting himself in the foot with this Greenland business. The bond market will react the way it did in April, which means higher borrowing costs for the US.

Longer term he’s doing some serious damage to important strategic relationships.

All over an area where the people want nothing to do with him or the US.
