Trump says anything less than having Greenland in the United States’ hands is ‘unacceptable’

And then not have the capacity to refine the minerals so they have to send the stuff to China for processing

Are we already forgetting that trump invaded Venezuela for oil, then the oil companies said "excuse me but we can't profitably exploit their notoriously shitty oil"?

Part of being a literal Nazi is that the o.g. Nazis got themselves stuck in an increasing number of military quagmires not because they had to but because they refused to do consider the obvious peaceful solutions for their problems. The war machine had to be fed even at the cost of their own self-destruction.

Except this time they have a nuclear arsenal capable of wiping all civilization and somehow people aren't freaking out nearly enough about that.

• Venezuela: oil, because renewables are becoming more expensive due to all of the raw materials going into AI-related tech and the US needs a backup plan if shit hits the fan and their bets don’t pan out
• Greenland: rare Earth metals, because they are the strategic bottleneck amongst said materials, and China stopped exploring them recently and I guess Australia and Canada are harder targets?
• Can you guess why China is circling Taiwan so hard nowadays? Because they want TMSC in order to overcome their current chip production limits (nm/transistor count)
• But why is that important? Because of Moore’s Law. We’ve hit the practical physical limits of transistor size vs molecular complexity with current manufacturing methods. We (humanity) are stagnating now, and can’t climb up The Kardashev scale no more.
• But we can’t stop because our resources and time are limited. Our planet is on a clock right now. So their apparent solution is: secure/stockpile rare Earth metals, sufficient energy reserves, and production means to train AGI, because apparently someone at some point put the idea that AGI would be the solution to the manufacturing problem.
• But this is all being exasperated by AI training since the start: resources invested, materials wasted, energy spent, planet heated/polluted. Now it’s a recursive problem and a self-fulfilling prophecy
• And everyone is betting they can solve it first, the will be the ones that’ll win the AGI race, and save us because they’re the good guys and know what they’re doing. Our wise leaders will sacrifice anything to save their citizens, even their own public image (see how noble Trump/Putin/whatever are being?) to save the planet. The end will justify the means surely, and people will forgive them once they realise what was going on all this time. Poor them.
• Nobody is even stopping to ask: “but what if we (countries) worked together instead of against each other?” because of people like Trump being in power.

There you go. My current working theory.

P.S: wonder where the existing rare Earth metals went? Ask the planned obsolescence/anti-repair people and the Phoebus Cartel.

they’ve been trained to think colonialism is always bad

There isn't a single colonial project that was/is benevolent. So yes, colonialism is always bad. Also fuck off with the "acquisition" euphemism. What the USA is proposing is simply stealing somebody else's land.

Looking at history, colonialism has always been bad for the indigenous people.

Similary looking at history, what Trump does has always been wrong.

Also fuck you, if you think you know better whats good for Greenland than people who live in there.

Greenland is the suicide capital of the world

You wanna pump those numbers up by subjecting them to US health care?

Are you actually arguing that the US should take Greenland? What in the actual fuck?

Trump may not always be wrong but it's certainly in the high majority of things he does. Currently I can't think of anything he has done that is actually positive.

List some instances where colonialism was good

Or trump did something that was good

Very true, the same washing by media has enabled him so much, along with his collaborators

They also seem to think "fuck at least 2/3 of America".

Unfortunately it’s not a position only MAGA takes. Horse shoe theory is real. There are extreme lefties who hate NATO and EU so much that they rather see the west fall completely apart and fall into chaos, since they think they will come on top when we crawl from underneath the rubble.

Have you talked to a Republican or MAGA?

They cheer on destroying relations with Europe.

They have been convinced that the entire world is somehow abusing the poor widdle usa.

they hate our freedoms.

Maybe. MAGA is fracturing right now. Withholding the Epstien files really was too much for some of them, and Marjorie Taylor Greene's defection gave a lot of them permission to question and criticize him. Invading an ally for no reason might actually break through to good chunk of the average red hats.

Can I interest you in an academic novel that comprehensively confirms your opinion? theauthoritarians.org

Well, I hate to throw cold water on that comfort, but I'm not sure the numbers matter. Trump is increasingly unresponsive to polling, even within his base, and it seems like the Pentagon really is planning an invasion. It would fracture his own MAGA movement, completely destroy NATO, make America a global pariah, and potentially start WWIII, but it seems he is seriously considering it.

LOL, no. As I already said in this thread:

Approval isn't changing Trump's actions, and he's actively talking about canceling the midterms (though using his ICE for voter suppression is more likely). The only hope is that enough neocons tell him that they'll support impeachment if he fucks up NATO.

He used the general maga as a baseline and then said the approval for this is under 10%, not even popular among the people who are rude or die with Trump

Yep I want him to have the way of pain and great suffering. Not the easy way out.

I wouldn't even give him that. Solid reinforced concrete lit for one hour a day. No contact with anyone in any way. Let him stew

It should be clear by now no one will hold him accountable for anything he's done

Not large enough.

This guy still has 40% approval. It's hard to even fathom

Not an either / or situation.

About him

This is not a toddler, this is a guy bigger than you and with lots of guns and friends. Talking is our only option, especially because it means we can also go against the narrative that Denmark cannot defend Greenland.

Which is true in isolation, but that's why we're in NATO and the joint arctic command and have the 1951 deal with the US that you guys can scale up military presence in Greenland at will. Yet it hadn't happened in 20 years, only reductions.

Personally I think we should have gone more into how Biden refused to increase the defense of the arctic region within the agreement, give the trumpists a way to call him names and solve the issue within the agreements we have.

Still, Lars Løkke has been doing the rounds on Fox News and elsewhere to give our perspective, which could influence public opinion and help change the false narratives being spread in the US. From our perspective we had everything to gain from a meeting and very little to lose.

Kurt Schuschnigg, Austrian Chancellor, went to talk with Hitler in 1938, and under his pressure added Austrian Nazis to his government, for example on the Interior Minister post.

France officially complained about the re-militarization of the Rhineland in 1936, and later about the Anschluss of Austria in 1938.

Poland talked to Hitler and rejected their demands to hand over Danzig in 1937.

So I guess yes, on specific points at specific times. But I'm not sure if that's the kind of thing you meant?

Yes?

Someone needs to show Trump different maps.

Well, he's an unoriginal echo of everything he sees. Ofc he'd copy Hitler

Cuba was a stones throw away, and didn't have the military capabilities of Denmark.

Absolutely, those who have oppressed us and kept us in chains must be punished. All their ill gotten wealth must be confiscated and they must be forced to live the rest of their life on the lowest salary they gave.

Not making any political statement on what will or will not happen. Was just funning on the title and saying I hope age take him sooner or later due to being a nasty human being.
