    The rest of the world isn’t going to start World War 3 over Greenland, just abolish US relations.

    This is what Trump/Miller want. They’re the abusive partner trying to get you to cut contact with all your friends and family.

    edit: some naive fuckers in Lemmy. You just watched the USA kidnap the leader of another country and are currently making plans to kidnap the leaders of other neighboring countries and the rest of the world is just making frowny faces and stern condemnations. When Hitler annexed Anschluss there were plenty of people who were STILL saying “He won’t go after more, it’s fear-mongering, Europe’s strength will deter him.” Yes the US could take Greenland, and no it won’t lead to Europe going to war with the US because the consequences are too extreme. No, it’s not a good thing either if that’s what your thick skull is taking from this. There is no good outcome, sometimes some things happen and they’re just bad.

      Let’s be clear, the US is starting it.

      And when the rest of the world, like Canada, sells off their Tbonds and crashes the US economy, nationalizes US assets including patents, sells off US dollars reserves and cuts off exports - including hydro power, potash, oil, aluminum, and uranium, to name just a few from Canada - I guarantee the US will notice. Even one of these will be enough for the US to become the aggressor.

      Greenland may seem minor, but where Greenland goes, Canada goes. For my country this is existential. And frankly, I can only assume you have typical American hubris if you assume the US will be allowed to do whatever they want.

      Americans who enable this are entitled, spoiled, arrogant children who don’t understand a) how dependent they are on the other countries, b) how a threat to their pampered asses really looks and feels, and c) that the upcoming fight for other countries is existential, and not just for more treasure. Americans are fighting and dying for more profits for their billionaires and maybe a new iPhone. They’re fighting to protect a billionaire conman who fucks kids. The rest of the world is fighting for their existence. You tell me who is more motivated.

        Are we really doing this shit? I’m not reading the rest and I’m blocking you, you know damn well I don’t represent my country’s politics, and you fucks out there need to do better than become like this rotten country and start doing the tribalism shit. I am giving political analysis and if it sparks you to want to hate someone for it, send that hate where it belongs, the people who are controlling the US and will soon control Canada and europe as well. And I don’t mean Trump.

          Oh it’s another one of the “billionaires are causing all of this and by recognizing that I absolve myself of all responsibility and justify my indignant anger towards countries that my country is threatening” Americans.

          Any more of you around?

            He’s really just saying that you’re demonstrating the intellectual capacity of a standard Trump supporter because you apparently think all Americans are equally responsible for this.
