Trump: "No nation is in any position to be able to secure Greenland other than the US. We're a great power. Much greater than people even understand. I think they found that out 2 weeks ago in Venezuela. We saw this in World War 2 when Denmark fell to Germany after just 6 hours of fighting."

Trump has said something increasingly more evil than our most pessimistic speculative fiction authors have ever come up with every day for ten years. Still, sometimes he says something so evil that the jump from the day before is still surprising.

Like, I knew he was a Hitler-loving racist with proud white nationalists like JD Vance and Stephen Miller whispering into his ears already. But telling Europe that the US will kill people for no other reason than because the US is like the Nazis in World War II? That still managed to astonish me.

That is a non-veiled threat right there. And our allies have every right to see it that way. I'm glad they have taken pre-emptive meetings with Greenland to protect Democracy. #Democrats better have their shit together.

All Americans need to leave built up areas and anywhere close to a military base if he carries on like this. We're surely not far off a European preemptive strike rather than wait for him to try to actually invade Greenland?

In the US, we have Ted Cruz, Mike Johnson, Marco Rubio and the entire cabinet supporting this demented asshole. Most republicans tacitly support him and his agenda. I cannot fathom how he is going to be stopped.

Worse. He’s arguing that since the US stepped up to help late in WW2 that the world owes them. Conveniently ignoring that they also were a source of funding and inspiration for the Nazis pre-war & propped up the Soviet industrialization and military capabilities that enslaved half of europe.

My grandson asked why we took so long to get into WWII. Was it because of Pearl Harbor that we got in? "No" I answered, we took our time getting into the war because we were selling war to all sides. We waited as long as we could before disappointing some of our our customers.

US came into the war once Russia was winning, to make sure Russia didn't take over Eastern Europe. They mainly left it too late for that too.

USA was not inspiration for Nazis. That is a myth created by history channel and similarities of laws. Nazis had much more convenient inspiration at home, in Prussia. 1. Racial laws targeting Poles, Catholics and socialists, especially those drafted by Bismarck

Last time I looked, the British liberated Denmark. And the Soviet Union - that didn’t turn out so well, but that’s a different story. Sandbox taunt level: “You would be speaking Russian right now if it wasn’t for the Japanese bombing Pearl Harbor” 🤯🙄

He seems to imagine the USA has been helping out Denmark 'for centuries'. I am failing to find any reference to this in known histories. BTW, Danes and Swedes had settlements in what is now North Eastern USA, does that give them right there. one wonders.

Reprehensible.

Donald Trump compares himself to Hitler, praises the Third Reich's war on Europe and threatens the continent of Europe in four short sloppy sentences . . . in Europe. He said this to European leaders in Europe!

The only thing redeeming about this speech is it’s obvious he’s near the end. This is like watching eggs scramble.

Denmark was a neutral country when the nazis invaded. And Danes fought all the way through, with great courage. But I don't think a draft dodger with imaginary bone spurs really appreciates the lessons of history

Denmark was neutral and so was unprepared for invasion, and especially blitzkreig tactics. After the invasion, a lot of Danes resisted hard. Many got out and continued the fighting. Denmark was let down by its government.

* President Trump's close administration advisors need to be instructed in how to care for their dementia patient. Stephen Miller Goebbels must focus on creating a safe environment, establishing consistent routines, & using compassionate communication to manage Trump's behavioral changes. *

If Greenland were attacked, the US and the rest of Europe would come to its defense under NATO, so there's no issue here. Just like Europe came to our defense after 9/11. More rambling of the demented pedo rapist that the Republicans will ignore.

THAT'S WHY WE BUILT THE INTERNATIONAL WEB OF DETERRENCE THAT YOU'RE CURRENTLY TEARING DOWN. (Also, the U.S. wouldn't be half as "great" as it is today without it – so stupid. Sorry about the screaming into the void.)

what he conveniently forgets, if he ever knew it, is that there was no NATO then. each country was on their own except for alliances they forged individually. that is not the case today. the EU can destroy us economically and make taking Greenland a failed fiasco for the us.

More bluffing. He ain’t doing shit. If he wanted to invade he would just do it. He wouldn’t be threatening and trying to sell the idea to them. He was told by advisors that invasion would devastate our economy so now he’s trying his real estate sales shtick to try to make it happen

If we do not remove Trump from office we are going to be at War with Europe and Canada. We are going to be bombed in US cities in the United States. We are going to be bombed. We have no reason to go to War with NATO. He is insane.

There is no way we (NATO/Europe) will bomb US cities - our stance will be 100% defensive. Doesn't mean that we won't defend ourselves with deadly force if required. The question is, what will Americans do if your demented President decides to invade an allied country without backing from Congress.

Get killed and maimed trying to fight like is currently happening in Minnesota, or get forcibly kidnapped like is happening everywhere. Weird how zero people posting "hurr durr what will Americans do" acknowledge that's happening despite it being trivially easy for anyone on Bluesky to know about.

Don't be so sure, the reason so many Americans are pro-war is that they've never been on the receiving end of one. A few educational bombings across the red states might put them off the idea a bit

One thing is for certain with America - they love war until the TV stations start showing flag-draped coffins being repatriated in significant numbers. The speed at which sentiment then turns is often directly proportionate to how valid they think the war is. If it's Greenland, it won't take many.

I'm no military expert, but I suspect there would be massive differences in logistics between Russia/Ukraine (land war with men, tanks, drones, close to supply lines) and USA/Eur at a distance in Greenland (navies, planes, missiles, small troops). The idea of a Normandy-style invasion is nonsense.

Just about a minute ago, he basically threatened us again, by flexing the military budget and its military..... And by us, I mean every country, that doesnt do what the Fascist US regime wants.

They're going to leave NATO, not destroy it. NATO will be around long after the US becomes an economically devastated wreck of a former super power

Poland here. There are no words to describe how ridiculous and unhinged the president of the US is. The whole speech would be laughable in other circumstances. He needs to be put into straitjacket before this is not too late.

The bigger problem is that if Trump says he's fine, which he will, you need a congressional vote with an even higher threshold than impeachment. This is on Congress.

Denmark had declared neutrality, invaded by Nazis anyway; did not mobilise for fear of giving excuse for invasion. There was no desire for war so armed forces at minimal levels. The failure is still seen as shameful in Denmark, which is why they won't be fooled twice.

No question that Seal team 6 can kidnap anybody on the planet in any country, at least once. They couldnt kidnap 5 in Venezuela. They cant hold any territory, Seal Team 6 is tiny. The rest of the US army has a lot of gear, but it is subpar, apart from the Rangers. Marines are brute force idiots.

You got beat by people with small arms and shovels, with extreme effort obviously but still. The mighty US army would get humiliated if they had to face any troops from NATO anywhere they dont already have a massive presence. Yes men dont make good leadership either. And you are the baddies now.

The U.S. has a formidable military, but they can be spread too thin leaving the U.S. extremely vulnerable, especially if Trump continues to threaten and alienate U.S. allies.

He is a megalomaniac listening to the absolute worst among us. The billionaires in the wings are all for this. War makes them money. They absolutely don't care if the world hates us and neither does their stupid base.

The demise of the United States began when Trump was elected for the SECOND time. Survived the first election, the second time around will be the country’s undoing.

Truth is the heritage foundation has been systematically working toward this moment in 🇺🇸 for decades. Now they’re in the Oval Office and the Roberts court.

Fuck him. Fuck his arrogance that we have been dealing with since the escalator ride. Fuck every Iowa farmer who is now crying over their failing farms. Fuck every Christian evangelistic puritan who uses God to this defend this POS. Daddy? Fucking terrible human being. You are all at fault assholes.

Imagine being the leader of another country and having to listen to this dumb motherfucker who learned his history from Hollywood movies and television shows. The separation from the US can only accelerate as the US political system and its electorate cannot be trusted to elect rational leaders

Big guys Bully , small guys gets smashed.. we are not supposed to stand up to big guys.. and history will never give the big guys any credit..
