Donald Trump the Megathread part II - Mod Warning updated in OP 12/2/26

It all boils down to their favourite topic - immigaration.

These people hate immigrants with certain skin complexions so much they're willing to twist themselves into knots to justify the forces of the state shooting a woman 3 times in the head because she held different views than they do.

Sure, and I assume you will use Fifa statistics on why it was actually a success when some stadiums are left with empty seats and you will point to revenue…because capitalism and that will be the metric used…those goalposts are very light.

Still waiting to hear about those discriminated minorities in South Africa though.

China and lots of Asian and middle east countries are not bothered about Greenland. The main trade route is all set up with more investment in ports, nuclear icebreakers and rail links to Europe going in more and more. Saves 2 weeks and a lot cheaper than going through Suez and more safer from these pirate attacks disrupting things.

Should be great for the Asian cargo companies with permits. China to Northern Europe load up then Europe back to China, saves a month round trip.

Call me cynical but these MEP's are just trying to generate media attention for themselves knowing what they say is likely to be academic as soon as next Wednesday.

They are aware the US Supreme Court is due to make a decision on the legality of the tariff regime any day now. Many journalists were speculating earlier in the week that it was going to be yesterday but alas the court did not announce it - just the one determination was issued on a completely separate matter.

The court did say they will be announcing their decision on other matters this coming Wednesday. Expect fireworks if it doesn't go Donnie's way. My interest in this is particularly personal. A procurement contract I finalised for my employer prior to Christmas could be in line for a six figure saving later this year - should the tariff regime be struck down - so I've my fingers crossed.

FWIW - based on what the Justices said in hearings prior to Christmas - journalists were speculating at the time that it doesn't look promising for Donnie. We shall see soon enough.

Even after this administration is over, we cannot go back to the way things were. The USA has always been a bad actor, that displayed a friendly face. But even towards its so called friends it wielded its power to ensure we were kept weak and compliant. You only have to look at Shannon in our own country and the blowback that would have occurred if we denied them permission for their unjustified war in the middle east.

Just because things were relatively OK for us, we should not ignore the misery and suffering they caused elsewhere. The migrant crisis we have today is largely of US making. ISIS and terrorism in Europe is also of US making.

Regardless of who they return to power, we must pivot away and oppose their imperialism. Remain friendly but not compliant.

Maybe it's his way of starting the process of giving Alaska away or selling it

Here is a couple of Trump's speeches. Obviously he has had a change of mind on Venezuela's oil quality.

Most conflicts start with lies. Like Hitler and his invasion of Poland which started on a lie, actually several lies.

The reason why Trump wants Greenland is only his own ego, wanting to go down in history that he gotten "something big" the size bigger than Texas or California.

Neither Russia or China seem to be a threat in Greenland.

The US already has strong rights to station military in Greenland and can do so in the future.

They have reduced the existing base / bases in Greenland drastically.

The US also has certain rights to go after natural resources in Greenland but haven't used them/done so as accessibility is an issue.

kick the Americans out of their European bases as soon as the set foot on Greenland.
turn off the power and the WiFi.

she 100% deserved it - following federal agents and interfering with their lawful work.

she was already breaking the law and was going to be arrested before she drove her car into the ICE agent who was 100% justified. He only drew his gun when she turned into him with wheels spinning.

all that with her wife egging her on “drive baby drive”

Don't disagree with them otherwise you get murdered… this is how far Trump has dragged the US down into the gutter and still we have fcukwits cheering him on
