^nr said 'secretary of defense' lol. low priority takeaway but still, hasn't trump been whining about news not going along with his renames? dusty old fart energy in gulf of america, "it oughta be," department of war, "back in the day."
he belongs in a cheap nursing home.

it's bewildering how people think any of this is defensible. told ice is only going after non-american criminals, and when it's proven this isn't the case on like the daily, with video evidence, they still defend, deflect. i wonder if they will when ice drags one of their old white neighbors out onto the lawn to summarily execute. "you're exaggerating," am i? rewind to the 90s when your side was decrying waco, ruby ridge. mouths fully around texas' nether regions when they spitball secession. where's that anti-fed spirit now?
"ice acted under biden and obama too." cool, now let's talk about marines being sent to an american city.
"she drove into-" i've seen the video, todd.

trump threatening his own allies to secure greenland is so odd. genuinely deluded behaviour. what's the geopolitical play, here? america needs it to protect itself against ... russian ICBMs? to secure rare-earth metals? a new northern sea route for shipping? but trump is closer to putin than most EU technocrats. where's the imminent and credible threat, here?
also, pushing out canada to form new trade deals with china. what a gigantic self-own.
and why shouldn't the EU also move closer to china? let's face it, america is a fading power. it played its hand and gave away the game to china in the era of neoliberal offshoring and financialised phoneyism. it would be in the EU's best interests to hitch its wagon to the continual rise of the new 21st century superpower.
it's not as if the west can stick together against china anymore on broad ideological grounds. post-trump america has almost zero ideological affinity with ordoliberal europe. may as well just go fucking work with the chinese.

it's nonsense. how is china going to project itself onto the other side of the planet to occupy greenland? russia can't even secure ukraine. while he's right that the arctic will become More Important, all he really had to do was ask to have more military presence on greenland, and base space would have been granted. ask, and more joint exercises. unhealthy obsession with painting the map.
aren't they being rather quiet about the 'drug boats' now? trump comes right out and says it's about the oil. when was the last time his administration tried to hide anything other than the epstein files he said he'd release? openly villainous.
i saw a post on social media advertising for americans to move to slovenia to fill needed job slots. lol.

i guess they're less worried about china directly making claims upon greenland than the alternative world order of which they're a part (russia in the north, iran in the middle east, etc.). but, yes, even then it's a pretty shaky rationale, considering how much territorial tetchiness there is even between russia-china (over manchuria and the far east, for e.g.).
i don't think the drug boats ever had any point. venezuela isn't even a big player in the drug trafficking trade or large narco operations. they had to basically concoct some fake cartel before accusing maduro of being a part of it. very strange.
