Trump

[blup]

I've read a couple of great articles today which basically reinforce what I was saying yesterday i.e. we have forgotten all the lessons from the two world wars and WWIII is approaching inexorably.

Absolutely, Brexhit was the first missed lesson. The eu was created from the ashes of Europe with the intention that it would never happen again.

what do we do if he goes into Greenland ? do we fight him ?

It’s owned by Denmark which is in nato. No choice but to fight, even though it was set up to deal with our enemies not our allies. Remember it was only Churchills intervention that helped persuade the US to join WW2. It is just possible that they will do a deal with Trumpf over oil but he tends to walk over people that stand up to him.

I don't think so. USA is quickly becoming a rogue nation and at home Trump is essentially a dictator. Scary times.

so we just let him take it ?
yep, we can't win, we don't stand a chance, but thats not an excuse for not doing the correct thing - sometimes a man has to do what a man has to do
(we're a bit snookered with genX and the millennials though)

I honestly don't know. If he does try to take over Greenland by force, then we are into unknown territory.

I saw a piece the other day about "what if the US try to take Greenland?"

The verdict was, they'd struggle.

Harsh climate, supply lines are a nightmare in those conditions, equipment and people freeze if not properly prepared and supported.

Baltic states train for this. US, much less so.

I dare say another piece says that the US would walk it.

So basically it's too cold (smile emoji not working)

The annoying thing with trump and the US is they just snatch people and put them on trial like that

Make up whatever rules they want for a particular situation

I think we all learnt from the Saddam WMD debacle not to believe everything we hear

What we can say is that Trump would stop the boats immediately

He'd have em all on some floating detention centre or similar in the channel

We’re on the verge of ww3 with this nutter. Unless Trumpf can extract the military equivalent of tariffs from Europe. If NATO is drawn in, Chinna will sneak into Tiawan, and Pootin will open up a new front in one or more of the former Soviett states.

And trump is just opening the door.

Looks like he wants n and s america. Let Russia have Europe and China gets the rest.

We are just the little pawns, and some are still supporting trump

Not unless he saw a financial opportunity. There's nothing more to his politics

We can't, but I stand with Denmark/Greenland

We can't, but I stand with Denmark/Greenland

Greenland will be so relieved to hear you say that.

I'm not a lefty.

Thats what Hitler said.

But democrat and Republican senators have addressed it correctly.

Let see you right wingers criticize pootin, African dictators etc but support Trump doing the same. Without congress approval don't forget

I don't care for them still hunting whales, fur farms and the horrific way they treat pigs
