Stephen Miller is on Tapper's show right now saying Venezuela

needs our permission to do commerce, and we are in charge there because our military is stationed outside the country. He also said no one is going to fight the US Military for Greenland and it should be part of the US. Tapper is doing is best imitation of a potted plant.

And also pretty confident Trump doesn't give even a tiny shit about any of the sort of blowback that may occur.

I'd bet Trump's plan is to tell Denmark to GTFO, otherwise we will force you out if necessary, and Denmark will do the former, and NATO at large won't do much of anything.

As such, I'd give about 50-50 odds that Greenland will be a US territory by the end of 2026.

Because when you're famous, they let you do it.

I can't imagine that Chump would risk starting a world war just to grab Greenland ... and THEN GIVE IT AWAY! He'd be an absolute fool to do it and I can't believe our military or our Congress would allow him to do it.

Chump would be impeached and thrown out of Washington, maybe even out of the country if he did that.

have we said, in the last 45+ years: "They Can't/Won't do that????????? AND especially in the last ten years????????

In my mind, all bets are off on anything/everything...........

Even as far back as 1980 I was screaming They Can,t do that.............(For instance: The Supreme Court taking over the election)

And everyone was just walking down the Jungle Path, swatting at mosquitoes, totally oblivious to the herd of charging elephants...
pun intended........

He said they were stationed outside the country. I am going to fix my OP to be more accurate However, he was very strongly implying that it was through the threat of military force that the US now controls Venezuela.

there would be more Republicans opposing these things. Of course Stephen Miller could never get enough support to be President. It shows how much the Republicans are a Trump Cult.

Securing Venezuela sets up Cuba as Cuba as the countries are economically and ideologically intertwined. Venezuela provides oil and other natural resources to Cuba in return for expertise.

Greenland has natural resources and the Northern Passage.

Trump et al have already mentioned Colombia, Panama and Mexico as potential targets.

If some dominoes fall, Canada should be worried.

Reduce the population in the USA and make the remaining population largely white.

Other western hemisphere nations down to the top of South America would be plantation nations in thrall to the white priviledged of North American.

Other authoritarian-led nations (Russia, China, Israel with Putin, Xi and Netanyahu) would be allowed full implementation of their ambitions. Taiwan and Ukraine would be toast and Greater Israel in flower.
