United States as a Rogue state

Not to be pedantic but Ireland, Portugal and most of Spain and the UK are in the Western hemisphere too. Do the MAGoons even know where to draw the line?

If USA offers Denmark money to buy Greenland, and Denmark refuse (which they rightly will), USA could potentially deploy a much more extensive force to their bases that they already have there.
Whether this causes Denmark to trigger article 5 or not would be a further tipping point.

If article 5 is triggered we are into NATO vs NATO.

In that case USA would probably want to push eastwards and claim territory for further bases which could put Iceland and Ireland in the firing line.

Doomsday scenario of course.

Well I suppose this is a good point also.
I wonder how many troops the US bases can handle at max capacity in Greenland.
Will we see a build up of troops there.

Zero chance he wrote that.

The concepts of justice and the presumption of innocence have broken down in the US.

The family and legal team of Leqaa Kordia, a Palestinian resident of Paterson, New Jersey, are demanding urgent answers regarding her health and whereabouts following a medical emergency that led to her hospitalisation after being detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). As of Sunday evening, her location remains unconfirmed, and her condition unknown.

Kordia reportedly suffered a serious medical episode on 6 February at the Prairieland Detention Center in Texas. A former detainee who witnessed the incident stated that she had fallen, hit her head and experienced a seizure. 

The legal team representing Kordia has not been informed of her condition or the hospital she was taken to, even after contacting at least 16 medical facilities across the Dallas-Fort Worth area. ICE has confirmed that Kordia was hospitalised but refused to disclose further details.

Kordia, a 33-year-old Palestinian woman and longtime US resident, was detained on 13 March, 2025, after voluntarily attending a routine meeting requested by ICE in Newark, New Jersey. She had complied with all immigration proceedings and was not in violation of any terms. Instead of being allowed to return home, she was taken into custody and transferred over 1,500 miles away to a detention centre in Texas.

It reminds me of McCarthyism and Guantanamo detainees. A business rival could report a non-US national to gain a commercial advantage. Then you have wealthier people who have triple citizenship such as the US citizen who pleaded the fifth amendment today.

How on earth are we only hearing about this now? This should have been national news back when he was first "arrested"

Reminds me somewhat of the Richard O'Halloran case, I expect Micheal Martin to say nothing to the Donald on this case but instead hail some non-sensical trade deal

There’s rules in ice hockey - Trump can’t stand rules

Do ye think we'll see those 'undocumented' Irish protests in Washington this year coming up to Paddys day?!

US continues to terrorise Cuba with no international outcry.

In fairness, I think he ranks low in scheme of things. Cause we've got people falsely accused of being in gangs getting illegally deported and tortured. Civilians being shot and killed plus lots of suspicious deaths in custody. So I'd say there's plenty of serious **** that the Trump administration is covering up. I suspect we'd have had posters justifying concentration camps back in the day.

I'm specifically talking about this guy's case. He'd be in the same position under previous administrations. He's sitting in a detention centre because he's fighting deportation.

I've a couple friends barred from the US for overstaying. It's nothing new

Nah, it is different though. Before this they'd have you out of the country in 24 hours, that would be the end of it, they detention thing is the cruelty part.

I remember George W taking the threat of a global pandemic very seriously, putting Fauci up front and centre. I think around 2003/04 there were periods where flights from Asia to the US were suspended while the H1N1 virus was monitored and no quacks theorists were entertained.

In retrospect it shows the most deadly contagion in the last two decades has been social media hysteria and misinformation.
