I find it spooky how most American television continues to pretend everything is normal. Two shows that I know of have acknowledged the atrocities ICE is committing. Abbott Elementary has made some indirect references to Trump. But mostly in tv land, Trump doesn't exist and all the crap he's doing isn't happening. Sometimes I'm amused by the idea that maybe the characters in my shows are just that oblivious.
And if Poland would've unilaterally attacked Russia somewhere last year, Trump would've immediately sent out the fleet and start the bombing on Moscow because that's what NATO does? Yeah, didn't think so.
In the same way it's a mutual agreement until Trump would've dumped the Strait of Hormuz problem on whoever came to help and then retreat quickly while giving a rambling speech that boiled down to "so long suckers!"
Last week, Trump called NATO a “paper tiger”and said he was “absolutely” considering to withdraw from the 32-member alliance, arguing that European members have relied on U.S. security guarantees while offering inadequate support when Washington needed them most.
“Defensive alliance refuses to join ridiculous war of aggression, news at 11.”
“Trump can’t attack the alliance forever without making it hollow,” said Michael Feller, chief strategist at Geopolitical Strategy, as Iran was “testing unity” by offering Spain and Turkey waivers to get their oil via the Strait of Hormuz.
Russia is widely believed to have interfered in both elections that got the guy into office. The fracturing of NATO sure is great for them. Incredible ROI. China is a pretty good friend of theirs too. Where will Europe be if China reaches for Taiwan and Donny has pissed in everyone’s beer? Even if it’s always TACO time and he never grabs Greenland, he’s an unreliable partner in anything.
He’s not necessarily directed by anyone to cause all the havoc, such as pawing at Greenland again now. He’s enough of a loose cannon to cause trouble by himself, especially as Iran threatens to embarrass him as weak in front of his most ardent supporters and he needs a new distraction from both that and the Epstein files.
Where can I find some biased “fake news media” where they actually talk about realistic interpretations of the facts on the ground?
He might invade Greenland, he might invade Cuba, he might invade Canada, he might invade Mexico. At this point, we may as well adopt the mindset of the Yemenis:

It's Greenland this week, is it? What I don't understand is how normal Americans aren't actually dying of embarrassment.
newthrowaway20@lemmy.world · 24 pts · 137d
Most Americans still don't pay attention.
PhoenixDog@lemmy.world · 34 pts · 137d
Most Americans are too stupid to understand anyway.

Not sure why you were downvoted, the evidence is there.

Probably an American confusing which direction the arrows go.

Most Americans disprove of Trump's performance. Rather historically so.

Yep, privileged enough that politics doesn't affect them

We're too busy dying of preventable illnesses due to lack of free healthcare to die of embarrassment.
phutatorius@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 136d
Trump is not a preventable illness, but there are many possible cures.

We're dying of other things.

So Greenland just has to threaten to bomb the Panama canal with drones and Trump will chicken out.

NATO is a specifically a defensive alliance, unless Trump says otherwise. Or at least, that's what I've read on Facebook and Twitter.

The US admin obviously knows this. It's just gaslighting/bullying/distraction, as it is with almost everything they say.

Wanna place a bet on polymarket that he tries to overtake Greenland in the next days to try and distract from the embarrassment of Iran?
PhoenixDog@lemmy.world · 25 pts · 137d
The embarrassment of Iran, which was to distract from the embarrassment of the Epstein Files?
Jankatarch@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 137d
That & he enjoys murdering people from non-white-european countries in his free times.

He might invade Greenland, he might invade Cuba, he might invade Canada, he might invade Mexico. At this point, we may as well adopt the mindset of the Yemenis:
"We don't care, we don't care. Make it a major world war! My heart longs for Mausers and assault rifles.
They're going to do what they're going to do. Will they open up more fronts? Well that went great for Germany, so I'm sure it'll go great for them.
