Bessent on Greenland: "Peace through strength. Make it part of the US and there will not be a conflict because the US right now, we're the hottest country in the world, we're the strongest country in the world. Europeans project weakness. The US projects strength."

Cut to live reporting of the largest protest in country’s history. bsky.app/profile/noel...

NOELREPORTS@noelreports.com

Large protests broke out in Denmark and Greenland under the slogan “Hands off Greenland.” Crowds gathered in front of Copenhagen’s City Hall before marching to the U.S. Embassy, demanding respect for Greenlanders’ right to self-determination and opposing reported U.S. plans concerning the island.

If Russia attacked DENMARK or FRANCE we'd get dragged in too. Does that mean we need to annex Europe? Goddamn, just when I think they can't come up with dumber excuses...

I had a similar discussion with someone, they said US had a base in Greenland so it should belong to the US. I responded that US has 700+ bases around the world, should you own those countries too...still no response

Commisar Bessent. We are projecting weakness every day because a plurality of misinformed voters re-elected a demented corrupt, incompetent fascist. Your projecting how much you’ve sold your soul to him

Absolutely agree.The problem is that this entire unhinged administration has a constant platform to spew propaganda. A true journalist would say:None of that is true & what the f👀k is wrong with you? But zero pushback. I stopped watching MSM-it’s just too stressful to hear them lie without impunity.

We are not the "hottest" country in the world. That is the stupidest thing to aspire to anyway. How about the safest? Healthiest? Most educated? I don't think anyone admires the U.S. anymore. I live here and I know we can do better.

It amazes me how such a great country with wonderful people can exist right next to the country that has always exuded arrogance, self-importance and entitlement. I hope to visit Canada some day. Then again, I hope Europeans don't flood your country and ruin its beauty with tourism.

I was in Canada about 20 years ago, in the non-touristy part because I was there for two months at university. Very nice people, with a very similar outlook on life to Europe, beautiful places, delicious food, and incredibly cold 🤣

No, the United States does not portray strength It portrays hatred, violence, racism, authoritarianism, greed, corruption, deceit, and fear If we had so much strength and power, we would be able to stop the murderous putin No longer a place where people can live freely

No, I really think they are not wired to make this distinction. We can attribute that to evil, or to stupidity. We can also split the difference and go with sociopathy.

Bessent to Europe: "Shut up and roll over." Trumpist Mafia Power Tactics can have only one consequence: unprecedented political and economic disaster. And this is why the Trump Administration is a serious danger to US National Security, the real Enemy of the US State.

None of this makes sense. Peace through strength is Orwellian double-speak. If the US pushes ahead with this craziness there will be no strength. The Atlantic alliance is over. Greenland is protected by NATO - the best defence alliance the world has ever seen. He's struggling to justify this.

He is a programmed robot. Seriously, what makes us, "hot?" Hot means everyone wants us and wants to be us. Which is the opposite of what is happening. When will the media ask real questions like, "Tell us why we are hot? What does that mean?"

Everything that comes out of the mouths of Trump Administration officials in support of Trump could have just as easily come out of the mouths of Nazi officials in support of Hitler.

Bessent on Greenland: "Peace through strength. Make it part of the US and there will not be a conflict because the US right now, we're the hottest country in the world, we're the strongest country in the world. Europeans project weakness. The US projects strength."

Bessent (a craven smirking tool) is just adopting Trump’s crass pet adjective for the US … ‘Hottest’. As if the US is the poutiest, sexiest contestant in one of his beauty pageants. The word is repugnant coming from Trump’s horrible little mouth, but plain weird when uttered by this creep

According to the Global Citizens Solutions latest report (Nov 25) on Quality of Life, the US has fell 12 places in 2025 to #35 in the world, behind most European nations "due to inequality, high cost of living, environmental factors and social polarization." It's Biden's fault.

Holy shit. 1. This is the dumbest load shit I’ve ever heard. We’re projecting chaos, instability, & societal collapse. We’ve never in our history looked weaker. 2.The fuck is the Secretary of the Treasury doing on TV talking about taking Greenland!?

Bessent is talking absolute bollocks! The US is weak and crashing harder than ever before! I'm amazed he took enough time to pry his face away from the Felons ass to come out with this BS! When are you going to overthrow these Oramge Terror MF's Americans? Seriously getting tired of waiting!

Because the reporters are part of the US corporate media, whos owners seems to think that kissing Trumps butt is good for business.

"We're the hottest country in the world." Even with all of the other insanity, this strikes me as particularly insane. WTF does being "hot" as a country mean, and why would that mean we can seize territory from allies? A government official talking this way is just bizarre. Depraved. Weird. WTF.

Bessent has sent his children overseas to attend school. “Their children currently study in Europe, and the couple has decided to sell their Charleston residence to spend more time abroad.”

Somehow the thing that pisses me off the most about these idiots is their focus on "projection." They're incapable of seeing what actually is; all that they care about is trying to sell their perception of what it looks like.

Bessent saying "Peace through strength..." When discussing Greenland is very interesting because the Trump administration has never started anything to keep things peaceful. Putin says destroy NATO, and Trump is doing just that. Conflict is the plan and Venezuela was the test.

Oh yeah, nothing “projects strength” better than massive civil unrest and an executive leader who can be easily bribed with a fake award from a sports league.

Yes, it’s hot as hell here with Trump as president. Every GD day he does somehing horrible. We’re losing our allies as Trump goes the authoritarian route. And now he wants to break a treaty (like Russia) and take over a sovereign nation that doesn’t want to be American rendering our word meaningless

insert 1984 quote. "it's not a foreign war because we need that land. everyone loves us so they need to let us have that land. which is in a foreign country but it's America first, duh"

This is all blathering nonsense. Bessent doesn’t understand what Trump’s doing any better than the rest of us so he throws around a bunch of alpha sounding words to cover over the absence of a rationale.

Same old shit repeated day after day with a complicit media spreading the lies and propaganda, the Sunday shows are extra nauseous so I don't watch. People like Aaron give us the highlights and lowlights of it all so we can put it in perspective without having to sit through it and yell at the TV.

ffs - no pushback ever cause they gotta get out all their questions to allow them to air their propaganda! How does anyone actually believe this crazy rhetoric? It’s so stupidly juvenile & farcical-if they lied just a little bit, I might get those who believe but this fantastical crap is crazy! ffs

MAGA is, for the most part, legions of uneducated, bitter, bigoted people who’ve been nowhere, done nothing, reproduce recreationally, and are scared to death of anyone who isn’t exactly them. Want an answer to why all this is happening? That’s it.

Bessent: Ok, let me get this straight. I go on TV and talk like you, and you’ll stop threatening Powell? Trump: Yup. Bessent: Trump: Bessent: Even if I do, you’re gonna threaten Powell anyway, aren’t you? Trump: Yup. Bessent: Got it.

What is WRONG with these people??? Who hurt them as children? How can so many, all in the orbit of Trump, not know right from wrong SO COMPLETELY? All adults should know the basic tenets of decency, deep within themselves, at this point! Kindergarteners & puppies know these behaviors are wrong! 🤯😡🤬

When Bessent speaks, he seems like the least strong person to be telling us that we're the "hottest" country in the world. It's actually creepy in an Epstein/Trump kind of way.

No, we are not. The Dotard is driving away business, shutting down travel and entertainment, trying to manipulate domestic and foreign markets, stealing or trying to steal foreign and domestic assets, engaging in massive grift and corruption schemes like crypto and nation building in Gaza. We know.

Never. I made that decision February 2021. The party had a chance after January 6th to move past Trump and they chose Trump over whatever values they had left. Up until then I wondered if Republicans could fix their party (my old party) but I don't see how!

if we're currently the "hottest country in the world" it wouldn't be the regime's propaganda prerogative to say it publicly. right? MBS said it to the incurious bigot POTUS because djt has the mental/psychological/intellectual/emotional maturity of a kindergartener. his clowns say it for him

Fact check: under the current criminal administration the U.S. has become a third world banana republic shithole country.

You know what projects weakness? Going around the world swinging your dicks calling yourself 'the greatest nation' invading random countries, then crawling home with your tails between your legs having done jack shit. Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan: defeated every time! You wanna fight? FUCKING TRY US.

We'll start by taking over all your military bases in Europe, and confiscating your equipment. Maybe we'll send your soldiers home, maybe not. Then we'll impose sanctions and tank your economy by selling all our US Treasure bonds. And if you're dumb enough to invade Europe we will fucking END YOU.
