  1. Trump: how else can I show how strong I am?

    Hegseth: I didn’t wake up and get my hair done to not be on tv yelling war !

  2. As a Canadian I’d like to point out to Americans that Canada and Denmark were once considered important allies of your country. Now your government is threatening to annex us. You elected your government. At least Russia and China did not have what we consider elections.

    It’s not just Trump. Congress is doing nothing to stop him from trying to take over our countries.

    It’s insane how quickly the world is going to shit. We are definitely gonna see a major war soon aren’t we?

  4. You know all Trump had to do is probably ask Denmark if we can build a base there and it might’ve just worked. Nope can’t do that always had to go to the extreme. Same probably could’ve happened with Canada about resources by just asking and trading. Art of the Deal my ass

  5. Canadian here, please heel and muzzle your golden retriever in this upcoming November please and thank you.

  6. I’m actually okay with Denmark annexing the US. I reckon there’s a lot of benefits to joining the European Union.

  7. The USA already has a base in Greenland, a normal person would make an agreement to lease more space. So sick of the orange idiot trying to bully everyone.

  8. I have an idea. Greenland is 3x the size of texas with the population of muncie indiana. Just get every patridiotic maga loving american to move there, we’ll put them all in the uninhabited interior of the country and let the situation resolve itself.

  9. Americans should see their own future unfolding here and bring this immoral and dangerous nonsense to a halt. What is being peddled here is autocracy. One of the favourite tricks as they consolidate power (see also Ukraine) is to model the violence, brutality, and capacity for amoral action abroad before turning them home.

  10. Merry Christmas. Love waking up to threats from one of the biggest militaries in the world and supposed ally.

    Never ever will I buy something American nor visit the country as I have planned for years. This is unbelievable.

  11. As a Canadian, feels like we’re gonna start getting 51st State rhetoric ramping up again soon. No doubt if it doesn’t happen by the state of the union address, that will be what it would be about. Everything is going to shit and fascist dogs will bark and wail in trying to find the next authoritarian trend that’ll stick.

    All Democrats had to do was genuinely give a shit and they’d win. Instead they just pay lip service when it’s convenient for them and put up the most bog standard corporate bought establishment bereaucrat as a candidate and refuse to learn anything when they lose.

    Republicans are evil but should be treated like a force of a nature. Like Earthquakes. Inevitable and capable of causing excessive damage, but when properly prepared against said damage can be heavily mitigated. All it takes is the political will to prepare for them. And yet, all we get is “when they go low we high” virtue signalling instead of a “when they go low we stomp them in their fucking faces for having the audacity to play dirty” mentality.

    The fact that the US right wing is experiencing as much infighting as it is right now despite basically no formal opposition from the Democratic Establishment just shows how easy it would be for Democratics to actually win if they were actually genuine people. Look at Mamdani for a textbook example. Actually giving people something to vote for, instead of just providing the minimal reason to vote as nothing more than just “we ain’t that guy”.

    And yet this is a thing thats been going on for decades if not a century or two. The civil war was fought by traitors, and they all should have received a traitors punishment. Instead here we are now, all suffering the lack of political will to hold anyone to account for decades of evil.

    Hitler / nazism is evil. Slavery is evil. Genocide is evil. Anyone defending or even just holding water for them, is also consequently evil. Traitors to humanity the lot of them.
