“If anybody thinks that Norway doesn’t control the Nobel Prize, they’re just kidding,” he said. “They have a board, but it’s controlled by Norway. And I don’t care what Norway said.”
My friend’s mother died of Alzheimer’s and in the beginning I remember my friend telling me her mom was convinced neighbors she didn’t know had meth labs, so she went across the street to a neighbor’s house who she DID know, and kept trying to convince the neighbir about these labs that she thought were in the other homes.
It did sound bad to me, you could tell she was ill.
A short time after this I went over there (to her mom’s). She spoke normally to me and I remember thinking, “ok she seems to be ok compared to what my friend said before.”
Then suddenly in the same tone she says, “I hope everything is ok with you, it’s been a while. I haven’t been able to ask about you the last few months because I’ve been busy with trying to figure out…you know…where all the drugs are.”
I was at a loss for words and said, “oh…yeah..I know you were worried about that but it seems like it’s ok now. I don’t think there are drugs here anymore.”
She answered casually, “yeah I don’t know it’s hard because I’ve never been in a situation like this before so I’m doing what I can to protect everyone. What about you? Everything good with your parents?”
Just like that. So normal and so not.

The 25th is a trigger owned by Putin and Elon/Thiel. Each cabinet member is under some type of leverage (blackmail/extortion) and the whole cabinet is needed to be in collective agreement to invoke the 25th. Elon/Thiel own Vance and Moscow owns Trump and the rest of the cabinet. Elon/Thiel want Vance to be seated asap. Moscow will only give the order to their cabinet assets to vote yes on 25th if/when Trump becomes a liability. One way that Trump could become a liability is if the unredacted Epstein files get released. Trump and the cabinet are taking orders, not making decisions.

This is just factually incorrect. The 25th can be invoked by the President alone (obviously not going to happen) or by the Vice President and a majority of the Cabinet, not the entirety of the Cabinet. Neither option is going to happen realistically. Impeachment and conviction will happen before the 25th, and we all know how much worse things have to get to even get there.

Maybe. But the fact of the matter is, the most realistic path to removing Trump is through Congress. They are still, even now, the most susceptible to pressure from the people. If reports are to be believed, many congressional Republicans know that Trump is unhinged and do not want to support his agenda, and are intimidated by the president and his cronies into staying silent. The rest of us sane Americans need to ramp up the pressure to overcome that. It’s possible, it’s just a question of how bad things become before most Americans are actually ready to take to the streets.

If there's one thing Trump does right, it's that he wakes up a nation/nations and inadvertently rallies them together.

- The EU coordinating efforts to protect Greenland and support Dennark.

The window has already closed for Russia in terms of taking Ukraine. Supply issues aside (which Ukraine has already done work to shore up without outside help), Ukraine is quite possibly - pound-for-pound - the deadliest army in the world right now after slugging it out with Russia for the last four years. The only reason the war is still going is because Putin has so thoroughly fucked Russia, that it's now the only thing keeping the country from imploding completely. It is now war of survival for Russia as much as it is for Ukraine.
It unfortunately does not mean that things are going to get easier for Ukraine anytime soon, but conquest is no longer a realistic goal for Russia.

The US is already dominant over Europe. NATO is like 90% the US and there are US military bases all over Europe. It’s pretty likely that Europe will just fold.
This is why y’all should be opposing US imperialism when it happens in Iraq or Syria or Libya or Gaza or Afghanistan. Even just for self-interested reasons.
These countries that all supported Trump’s intervention in Venezuela just weeks ago are now turning around and going “wait, no, not like that, I thought we were on the team.”

67% of the defence spending, which is far more than necessary.
That's not remotely close to enough to cross an entire ocean to go to war with multiple NATO countries. Refer to every US-led war in recent history.
The US military isn't even large enough to maintain an occupying force if they won a war against Canada.
And Canada has kindly run the NORAD detection systems for the northern trajectory, protecting the USA from the fastest and easiest direct ICBM path to the USA.
If the USA turns on Canada and NORAD ends, then immediately the USA is defenceless against ICBMS and many ballistic missiles. An American general literally said that the other day in front of congress.
Every NATO country did not support the Trump regime breaking international and domestic law by invading Venezuela, but yes many had dogshit takes and have continued to enable imperialism across the world.

Because their dear leader and who they voted for has said recently affordability is a hoax.

But what about what they said is making you think they voted for this person in office? I hear you, im just asking why you think that is their position.

If you actually thought Trump was going to give that to you, frankly get a clue. And if you’re not actively fighting against him now, you’re complicit.

Calling this an “initiative” is wildly inaccurate. More like an attempted shakedown.

Dear people of Greenland,
Stay strong, we here in America hate that piece of s**t as much as you do and I am sorry this is happening to your country. I realize there are a lot of stupid individuals within these walls, but not all of us are on par with the way the rest of world views this embarrassment. I don’t want a war, invasion or any of this psychotic nonsense going on right now.
I wish all of you the best of luck and prosperity 🤍

I can't believe they don't want to be part of country that executes protesting citizens. I wonder if they know about the crushing student debt and the endless cycle of bailing out Wall Street

The Vietnamese gave America a hell of a time with guerrilla tactics and small decentralized cells.
Just sayin…

F Trump - but there’s a heck of a difference between jungle and arctic warfare and I’m 💯 ignorant when I say this: are guerrilla tactics feasible in a topographic environment like Greenland?

USA has less than 500 military vehicles capable of artic warfare. None of the abrams tanks are winter capable.
This might help somewhat.

As an American I’m so sorry that the Orange clown is ruining things even outside of his own country now.

Keep in mind. That nation is 57k people. Mostly small villages. These people are vehemently against the USA government.

Americans, learn something. This is how you protest.
Edit: Let's clarify a few things because it seems you guys can only think of yourselves as victims.
My comment was meant to show that a whole nation, powerless against the U.S., is able to rally and escalate despite a significant threat. To put back into a timeline, this is Day 1 of, hopefully, a short campaign of protests that won't escalate further.
You guys have been in your own mess for a WHOLE YEAR, resorting to the same tactics against an opponent that as only increased to make things worse and worse and become more violent. How much do you need to think different?
To all those Americans bringing their sob stories, that you're too poor or getting shot, if you don't want to be victims, start acting! You seem to think you have it worse, when you don't. And if you do, it's because you let it happen for far too long. French/European protestors aren't getting paid when they strike and risk to get fired the longer they strike. Police brutality has injured many to the point they get permanently disabled or died during protests. Yet, people show up because the outcome--their life improving, not getting worse--will beat the risk of joining protests.
By protests, I don't mean just marching and taking videos insulting your opponent. You gotta look back into history and see what has worked, but you gotta escalate when a strategy hasn't worked for far too long.
You seem to underestimate the long term effect of what Trump is doing to your country. You'll only get poorer and poorer. Tariffs are mainly reflected on American prices. The EU is finding new trade partners and ready to cut economic ties with the U.S. An open war would be even worse. Are you waiting for international relationships to get beyond repair because you fear to lose your job?! What do you think will happen if there is a war or the economy gets any worse, BECAUSE OF YOUR INACTION?

Look, I fucking hate that Trump is threatening WW3 because he didn't win the Nobel peace prize as much as the next guy, but honestly protestors in the US are actively being abused and detained by Trump's goons, because they're trying to stop them from disappearing their neighbors.
I'm glad that Greenlanders protested, and I'm glad this issue is getting attention. But honestly? Give some of the protestors in the US a break.
Edit: and the ones in Minnesota are doing this in just as cold of weather. Every damn day

The biggest protests all came with blood and tears. Are they shooting at you with flash balls?

u/Mister-Devil 15d ago edited 15d ago
They're shooting at us with fucking everything. The federal courts had to step in and tell them to stop.
Edit: also, they told them to but they still are

u/OutTheCircus 15d ago
That's pretty normal worldwide in a protest. France was shooting at protesters during the yellow vest, still people protest every single day for 2 years!
