      In years past he also attacked some child beauty pageants. Probably some girls only schools. And Epstein island.

    Technically, by threatening to attack Greenland he has threatened Denmark, and by threatening to attack NATO members he has threatened all NATO members.

    At what point does an economic threat become a military one? If that economic threat will do vast damage to a country’s wellbeing could it be determined a military threat? For example, taking billions of $ from a country is more damaging than losing a single battleship.

    If so, he’s threatened almost every country on the planet.

      Well, one of the ways the world waged war during WW2 was direct attacks on the industrial and economic infrastructure of the enemy. If you can achieve the same thing without even having to bomb them, I’d say that’s as much of a threat to the countries sovereignty as military action would be.

    Why aren’t Americans more upset about the complete lack of action on hostile take over of Greenland? It’s a completely lovely country to take over and promises were made. Seems like there would be more outrage about this just fading into oblivion while good money is being spent redecorating the dictator’s palace.

      The trump playbook is to create 3 new outrages a week, so we are in constant firefight mode.

      We are trying to release Epstein.

      We are trying to stop ICE from kidnapping our citizens.

      We are trying to stop fascism.

      A mix in there is voting protection, protecting American citizens born to immigrant parents, trans-rights, taxing churches, workers rights etc.

      No offense, but Greenland is on the bottom.

        I want Americans to turn off their televisions, read books, abolish their electoral college, demand real tangible platforms from political candidates and show up to polls to vote for them, get involved in local politics and demand ranked-choice voting.

        I’m just surprised they’ve let the whole Greenland thing go. It’s such a lazy brand of evilness.
