My over-generalized understanding is that it’s more like 1/3rd, but because of exploited political geography their votes were “more special” than the rest of ours, so suddenly we arrived at:
“The whole country wanted this!”
(Historians’ note: No they didn’t.)
In a world that made sense, U.S forces would also say they’re ready to join with Denmark in defending Greenland.
So true.
It’s scary, it’s like all the major developed civilizations are saying
“Look we’re all spying on each other because we’re definitely planning on fighting so you best either get out of our way or shut up about it.”
Any commanding officers who would comply and issue such orders should suffer whatever archaic military field punishments exist for outright treason.
It looks so dumb playing coy when the whole world knows what’s up.
It’s really bizarre and stupid, and yet it might be one of the best tools for peace in the long run.
Both sides can pretend to ante up, can pretend to posture, can pretend to threaten, under the guise of heated talks and “training exercises”…and then can still have the chance to back down without losing face before any live-fire happens because nobody actually declared what was happening, was happening.
At least I hope this is kinda the case. Either way, it’s infinitely more stupid than simply not picking fights with random territories. But what would I know?
having a wooden tent stake KICKED deep inside of his anus
Well that would certainly explain his weird-ass iconic posture, stiff gait, and alleged near-constant incontinence!
Yeah, we ARE still talking about that disgusting creep, and his sick friend Jeffery, too!
Start a better association with a bigger, shinier cup. Most importantly, one that tinpot dictators aren’t allowed to have.
In a just world, this party would be considered so radioactive it would be Business 101 to lock the door in their face and make sure it’s VERY clear you’d never serve their interests. To deal with them at all should risk being marked a traitor and shunned.
Anybody who identifies with these bullies and thugs needs to have the privilege of watching that little red line plummet in real time.
Vance especially urged Europe to respond to Trump’s insistence that the United States needs the island for “missile defense.”
Missile defense? Against whom, exactly‽
Giving it to him probably just presents an advantageous position to move on the EU, when he lets corporations melt Greenland for resources and decides he wants that next. He’ll probably start with the U.K since it already foolishly excused itself from the group.
In slightly more seriousness (because my previous idea sadly isn’t out of the question in clown-world, stupid as it was.)
China or Russia is the obvious one to want to defend against, but why so desperate as to break existing alliances to do it by force?
The entire world started posturing up and increasing defense spending dramatically largely in response to the Orange Bully’s peacocking all over the place.
It’s going down in history that this bastard and his sycophantic simps are literally responsible for stoking WWIII, all because a rich child-raper couldn’t fathom the inside of a jail cell.
“Lieutenant, inventory reports we’re missing a fragmentation grenade.”
“…Maybe we’re not, and should check again Staff Sergeant.”
“…Understood, sir.”
(Timeline improves)
Friggin RIGHT?!?!?!
The semantics at play indicate the media “watchdogs” have put their tails between their legs and pissed themselves.
All we hear when CEO’s, managers, techbros, ai “artists” are still trying to hype genAi . . .
Y’know… Of all the ridiculously stupid improbable absurdity that’s happened…
… I’m kinda down for that one over whatever the frick we’re living through at the moment lol.
And then later my mommy can make us all dino nuggies and we can watch Trollhunters on Netflix.
Your mom sounds cool. Call her and tell her she’s cool. ❤️
It kinda makes me wonder if they’d actually nullify the assassin loophole.
Bet big that target won’t do a thing they’re definitely going to do. Assassinate them before they do it, collect the gamble bounty.
(Allegedly one of the services has nullified one of these before, even though it was coincidental)
“mOvE fAsT aNd BrEaK tHiNgS LaWs”
It’s all Thiel’s stupid idea. He’s started a ton of companies all ripping off Tolkien’s work while basically LARPing Sauron. Such despicable trash.
The power of love is what gave many the courage to charge fascist lines and keep firing until they heard the “PING!” , over and over again, until those fascists were no longer able to continue hurting people.
I’d argue we need that power of love more than ever, as it discerns righteous violence from the pointless bloodshed lusted after by evil men.
To love one another is to make certain our neighbor must never endure the fascist’s boot.
I pray we all find the courage to love one another a little more fiercely, in the face of these horrors.
Ohhhh I think I might have misread your original comment. Were you saying 2/3rds didn’t vote for this , but aren’t meaningfully opposing it?
(In which case me getting updoots on that one for being wrong is a tad confusing but lol internet I guess?)
I would partially disagree in that case though. There’s a lot being done but it’s definitely more quiet than all the damage they’re doing, and the opposition has to move carefully.
There are certainly a lot of weenie politicians that are sticking with the age old strategy of “I’m not like those guys” while tacitly supporting the corruption at the same time, and they need to be fired and replaced as swiftly and ruthlessly as possible with fighters.
