Fuck off Republicans. Stop acting like you’re gonna stand up to your Dear Leader. We all know you’ll do whatever he wants.

Sure they do. Let’s look at how the opening act went yesterday in the Senate. At best a few of the ones up for election in risky areas might be allowed to “vote their conscience” so long as there are enough votes for a Trump win.

The United States owes enormous sums to Europe, making the EU one of its largest foreign creditors. Japan is now the single largest foreign holder of U.S. government debt, holding about 45 percent more than China according to U.S. Treasury data. It is a remarkable paradox that the United States has built up such extensive debts to its main geopolitical competitors. U.S. hegemony, in reality, depends largely on the willingness of the rest of the world to sustain the system.
For the EU, it is primarily military advantages and security guarantees that justify accepting the dollar’s dominance. But if, for example, the EU were to challenge the petrodollar in response to a potential escalation of the Greenland conflict, it would deal a severe blow to the American economy in the medium term. The U.S. remains “top of the hill” only as long as the rest of the world sees it as economically and strategically advantageous to uphold the system. Should America step back from NATO and the EU be forced to stand alone, there would be little reason for Europe to maintain the dollar as the world’s reserve currency.
Even Trump’s tariffs complicate this balance. He is, in effect, playing a high-stakes game.
It is also significant that China has sided with the EU on Greenland. The U.S. cannot afford for both China and the EU to abandon the dollar as a global currency. It would be catastrophic for the American economy.
The most sensible path remains for the U.S. to exercise its current military rights in Greenland while the EU and U.S. jointly invest in the territory, thereby breaking China’s monopoly on certain critical minerals.

And other republicans introduced a bill to make Greenland a state and authorize trump to “to take such steps as may be necessary, including by seeking to enter into negotiations with the Kingdom of Denmark, to annex or otherwise acquire Greenland as a territory of the United States.”
So they should either get rid of such lunatic or shut up with their hypocrisy…
now republicans are like “whoa whoa slow down mr president, we love you but international law and starting world war 3 is a bit much even for us”

>A Republican senator who requested anonymity said Trump’s talk of taking over Greenland has generated more opposition from Republicans in Congress because of the dire implications of such an aggressive move would have for the future of NATO.

> **Republican senators are flummoxed by Trump’s insistence that he’s willing to use military force to seize control of Greenland from Denmark,** something they fear will destroy the NATO alliance and give Russia a bigger advantage in its war against Ukraine.
Are they? Are they really?
Because he’s been saying this for ages, and anyone who took him at his word was patronizingly told by these selfsame Republicans “the president is just trolling.” (Like that would be an acceptable thing for the president to do? Alienating our allies just for shits and giggles?)
I remember telling my investment guy in like January 2024 that if Trump got back in office he would destroy NATO. Finance Bro scoffed at me.
> **“I’m going to remind them that we have co-equal branches of government** and I believe that there [is a] sufficient number of members, whether they speak up or not, that are concerned with this,” Tillis said of Trump’s threats.

Ah yes, I’m sure they’ll find that very reassuring.

“Vow” all you want, Republicans, but actions speak louder than words. You can spoon feed your cultists empty promises, but as long as you continue to vote against ANY check on Trump’s fascist takeover of America (not to mention his illegal activities in the world), you’re just as guilty as he is. You can shove your “vows” straight up your asses. We’ve seen how well you kept your oaths to the Constitution so far… as in, you haven’t! Until you put Country over Party, the entire GOP is merely a puppet for Trump’s new regime and everyone with two working brain cells knows it.

Attack Greenland and we get kicked out of 40 European bases, which we use to send forces everywhere in the western hemisphere, the middle east and Russia if necessary.
