Donald Trump said Friday his administration will take action on Greenland “whether they like it or not,” further escalating his rhetoric as he pushes to acquire the Danish territory for the U.S.

The comments came during a meeting with oil executives to discuss the prospect of doing business in Venezuela. Less than a week earlier, the U.S. military invaded the oil-rich South American nation and captured its leader, Nicolás Maduro.

Denmark and its European allies in NATO – the military alliance co-founded by the U.S. – have pushed back, reiterating that Greenland is not for sale. But the Trump administration nevertheless says it is currently weighing a range of options on Greenland, including utilizing the U.S. military or cutting a deal to purchase it from Denmark.

        Yeah no, when are you guys gonna learn that doing this over and over does not work. Grab your balls and grab your second amendment and end this already. I am sick of every new generation being like “i know, we’ll protest!” STOP WASTING YOUR TIME, nothing will work at this point except what you guys are too afraid to do. It’s your duty and your mess, so clean it up.

        That’s pathetic. A guy like this in a sane country should have a 5% rating because you just can’t get everyone to not be completely garbage. 40% on his side and the military and every other armed fed goon is insanity. The only thing sinking in is that I somehow managed to underestimate just how fucking stupid they, and the rest of the world who enables this behaviour, really are.

        Not really a defense for those 40% but many of them don’t know what is going on. There are strong efforts to keep them distracted, lied to and stupid.

      Even if Trump is removed from power this problem isn’t going to go away. To start solving the problem permenently we need to get rid of capitalism. Fascism is capitalism in crisis and if capitalism is maintained fascism is inevitable.
