  1. wtf is that shit! Apparently America won’t survive if we don’t start taking over countries

  4. He never explains security against whom or what. I’ve posted this before because this is what came to mind when he makes these kinds of comments.

    Don’t let Republicans tell you there’s nothing true about climate change. It’s just a distraction.

    World domination? Six countries surround the Arctic Ocean, perched on the top of the world: Russia, Canada, the United States, Denmark, Norway and Iceland.

    Now, this remote wilderness is changing. The disastrous effects of global warming have melted the polar ice caps and access to resources, tens of trillions of dollars worth, are tantalisingly within humanity’s grasp. There are fish to feed growing populations, and fossil fuels within reach in an era of dwindling reserves as global industry continues to depend on the old ways of producing energy.

    The increased international competition that this will bring has spurred military spending and the deployment of specialised forces to the region to protect claims and each country’s own interests.

    The race is now on between countries surrounding the Arctic to assert claims in the area and the vital resources beneath the ocean’s surface. The country dominating this race is Russia. (written in 2022)

  6. I know this asshole was literally born during the times of feudalism, but it’s 2025 and countries don’t build wealth by invading and conquering anymore. What a fucking psychotic narcissistic piece of shit.

  8. You voted for this insanity America.

    Those of us here who are still sane, will fight the rest of you first, before we let something like this happen.

  9. Reminds me of when Germany took control of Poland

  10. This is a threat of violence against the NATO alliance.

    Putin and Russia are pushing Trump and every American into the Abyss.

  11. Pathetic man. The whole world loathes him. 70 million voted for this. Monstrous.

  12. Does this guy think he’s the next Jack Welch? Has he been notified how that worked out for GE?

  14. It is literally the stupidest fucking thing in the world and this dumb idiot is going to further destroy our economy (through sanctions and consequences of forcing a sovereign nation to do anything it doesn’t want)

    Kill hundreds of thousands of Americans. Because how else do you obtain something that doesn’t want to be a part of you.

    And oh, our soft power that we had for 80+ years is absolutely destroyed.

    Good luck trying to get the economy back up and running when every nation we turned our backs on sanction us.

    Holy crap it is absolutely ridiculous.

  15. “Our power will stop all wars and bring a new spirit of unity to a world that has been angry, violent and totally unpredictable.” 2025 Inauguration Speech

    One day later … We’re going to take Greenland, make Canada the 51st state, turn Gaza into a “Riviera of the Middle East”, repeating Russian propaganda, calling Zelensky a dictator, and pissing off Europe.

  16. Imperialism Starts like this and still rulling the world by using weapons money and commodities…..

  18. Ah. America.

    Land of the free.

    Nothing says free like not asking for consent!

  19. We already have US military bases in Greenland. So this “we gotta have it for national security” is complete and utter bull. Pretty sure *all* of our allies have allowed us to have military bases in their countries. None have one within our borders.

    At the rate this orange dipstick is going, we are going to lose those bases. We are going to start to be told *it’s time to leave, don’t let the door hit your bum on the way out.*
