Concerns about U.S. action against Greenland have grown after the U.S. attack on Venezuela, which led to the capture of leader Nicolas Maduro.

KEY POINTS

Sen. Ruben Gallego, an Arizona Democrat, said he will introduce a resolution to block Donald Trump from invading Greenland, a self-governing Danish territory.

Concerns about U.S. action against Greenland have grown on the heels of the attack on Venezuela, which led to the capture of leader Nicolas Maduro.

“Everybody wants us to have a bigger presence in Greenland to combat the Russian/Chinese Arctic influence,” Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said.

    God damn. It’s worse than I thought. Plus with the Supreme Court declaring all actions taken as president to be legal, he can do anything he wants now, whether legal or not.

      This is why I keep telling people that Trump is not an anomaly and is not new. I think a lot of people on here must be too young to remember the Bush era.

      The line from the Star Wars prequels of, "So this is how liberty dies: with thunderous applause" captures how it felt and was clearly about Bush’s policies. If Trump is worse than Bush, it’s only because he’s standing on the shoulders of fascist giants. And tbh I still regard Bush as the more dangerous of the two because he was able to command such overwhelming support, there was zero opposition in government anywhere, at all. He could ride his bike with no handlebars.
