United States as a Rogue state

Then we have the EU increasingly forcing their will on it's member states. Penalising those who don't want to sign up for ideas like mass immigration from the 3rd world against the will of the majority.

But I'd rate them EU>>>>>>>>>>>>USA>>>>>>>>>>China>>>>>>>>Russia.

And I'm highlighting I think the gap between each of them is quite large. Personally I don't think too much will change for most nations on the planet. There's always been a few smaller countries getting fucked over by bully super powers as far back as recorded history again.

Were we brain washed into thinking it'd stopped while China cleansed and stole territory, Russia annexed Crimea and occupied Georgia and while America messed up the middle East and Libya?

The only major change now is American influence is growing because of Russia's own goal in Ukraine causing them to severely weaken for the foreseeable future.

Yeah I personally won't go calling people pedos until there's proof beyond doubt. Was Stephen Hawking and everyone else who went there a pedo? It's possible but like I said I won't be calling everyone a pedo because they're part of the rich man's club.

As for your first point American isn't a beacon of mortality and I don't get where that concept came from? Clearly it was propaganda. Was it a MSM construct? How do people in the digital age still fall for such things.

This is a discussion on the US as a rogue State. Of course the usual tangents will appear when it's pointed out they were always a rogue State, and far from the worst of them.

Out of curiosity are you talking about Jean Carroll? I just googled your claims there and a jury sided with her.

Yea you're probably correct. Just with Trump, he's mentioned enough times in connection to epstein, he had the Porn star shenanigans, there's the somewhat forgotten Prostitutes situations in Russia, he's been named as the rapist of a 13 year old,difficult to to believe it might not be true, but yea I get your point.

I think where we get the notion of land of morality, is like you've mentioned, media etc, this land of the free etc, land of opportunities, this country who go after the baddies (think of every action movie ever made). It's certainly the opposite of that.

It's a territory of Denmark's. All people in Greenland are citizens of the EU so ya, it's a part of the EU, slightly different rules but territories still confer same rights.

I've never defended Putin or Xi. Trump has absolutely defended Putin on many an occasion though. Trump is destabilising and seems intent on collapsing NATO.

And that's an entirely separate issue. Trump has threatened them with invasion, they don't want to be a part of the US. An invasion will destabilise NATO.

“As for the rest of your post, it's a rather glum and defeatist attitude”

I prefer the term realist but that’s just semantics in fairness- but I don’t apologise either - as a collective, we’re all raping the planet - plastics, rare metals, oil etc- consumer goods rule the behaviour of the world as far as I can see- poor countries are just going to suffer more and more and succumb to whatever super power has them over a barrel - China with their smiley helpful road building “grants” that leave 3rd world countries in debt and beholding to whatever whim of China- America internationally is no different but maybe less subtle - and considering recent events domestically, they have a clear ability to fck over their own citizens when it suits them, just like China and Russia - oil, rare minerals, water, land aren’t going to increase in supply as the years progress- we’re seeing the future now, and it fcking stinks

It’s amazing how you hold the same position and Trump but don’t actually say you’re a Trump fan, constantly.

There are aspects of Trump's policies I like. I like his hard-line immigration stance for example but I'd hate his approach to Russia. As for NATO he's not only made them actually spend the 2% but a lot will now go up to 5%. He's made Europe get the finger up which we shouldn't have needed to be bullied into. Europe is a continent of warrior nations and that's what made us so great and advanced. We shouldn't forget our roots and nearly did when Russia was cucking us for years. Switching from European nuclear to Russian gas all while weakening our militaries. Trump was right on that topic too.

The most pragmatic solution is a greatly expanded US presence there - it’s certainly needed, there’s no doubt about that - working “with” the inhabitants and NATI and Denmark and not against them - but it’s not just militarily that the US wants Greenland- they want earth minerals etc too - that means an ecological disaster for the people living there - I don’t want to see that happen - giving every person 1 million dollars just means massive inflation and a greater instance of alcoholism and domestic abuse and suicide rates which are already very high - the very small community, that is known for its challenges of mental illness - will only get worse

And once again, an entirely separate discussion. Trump is threatening them with invasion and you seem to be avoiding criticizing that at all costs...

From my perspective this is fatalistic, not realistic. It's as if we have no agency to change anything. If everyone adopted this attitude I suppose it would be true

You should do as cluedo suggested as it sounds like you have a severe case of the January blues

Why is it needed. The US deemed the 17 bases they had there unnecessary and closed them. The US could insist that Denmark make arrangements to put additional forces there but they don't. Trump has no interest in security. Hes interested in money, mining and drilling rights.

If he has truly interested in security, he wouldn't have destroyed the 5 eyes, destroyed NATO and alienated the most important piece of the security puzzle, Canada. Without Canada, NORAD is vulnerable, pretty much useless.

There is no reasonable argument for increased US troops in Greenland.

Makes sense if you've Europe in your sights.

Probably why Cuba has been safe from him. They've not got much.
