    Trump taco. He did not move any troops or metal towards greenland. When he does not move troops he does not intend to attack, he intends to move the opinion.

    My guess why he did that (greenland and threaten to not aid NATO): He wanted to push the European opinion towards “fuck you we will spend more on our own military”.

    The opinion of every US administration the last decades, Obama, Biden, Trump has been that Europe should spend more on defense instead of relying on US. Trump achieves this goal by being obnoxious and hated and ironically the complete lack of diplomatic skill.

      The US makes weapons, sell weapons, and controls the countries they sell those weapons to. Trump doesn’t get any of that and broke the control that US had on everyone. He’s the reason countries suddenly started getting worried that the US could turn off the planes they sold them whenever they wanted. The US has bases in every country, and Trump is the reason people are suddenly getting worried about them.

      When they used to say Europe should spend more, it’s by buying American.

      He attacked Venezuela and Iran, so there is that 🙄

      Yes, but only the very last one sided with Russia against democratic countries. And explicitly said they would want to dismantle EU.

        He moved metal and troops into position. He did not start moving anything towards greenland.

            Your retort to my taco reply was that he did Venezuela and Iran.

            You can figure out when he is doing a taco and when he is actually threatening a war. Greenland rhetoric was not accompanied by troop movement.
