There. Resident WHO political commentators and gurus can knock yourselves out in here and conduct your endless bickering. All other threads will be locked.

I enjoyed Trump's take on why the Danes don't own Greenland:

‘Just because some Danes landed in Greenland on a ship some 500 years ago, it doesn’t mean it’s theirs.’


and they say Americans dont get irony.................

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

 

It would not surprise me to find out that Trump considers the Moon belongs to the USA on the basis that USA citizens were the first, and only, humans to set foot there.

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? 

What he's said, unless you think numerous new outlets are just talking it up. Now, if it really came to there being a credible imminent threat of an alternative of China / Russia taking Greenland by force he might have a point but there's little evidence to suggest it unless he is somehow ITK on something.

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

...and he wants the Nobel Peace prize.

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. 

Call me old fashioned but I’d rather have a competent sane President rather than an ‘entertaining’ one
By entertaining obviously we mean a mental childish RAPEY paedo one
The man is certifiable 

It's more that grating robotic voice of his. Proper makes your teeth itch.

Million times better than that robotic bore of a Dalek PM we currently have.

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.

Yeah, posh private schools are a notorious breeding ground for lefties.

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.
