America has opened a second front in Russia's war on Europe.

Ted Cruz is like mayo that's been left in the sun all day

mistermeyer.bsky.social•6 days ago

I don't even understand what "end up with nothing" means in this context. If the U.S. takes Greenland, Denmark will no longer have Greenland. Are we also planning to invade Denmark?

ubermenchies.bsky.social•6 days ago

More like threatening to let Russia and China take Greenland over by force. Which kind of defeats the entire stated purpose of Trump's dumb idea.

stephen1958.bsky.social•6 days ago

I guess he’s thinking they would fund a campaign for full independence for Greenland with lots of $ being waved in front of the 57,000 inhabitants.
You could give each of them $100K for ‘just’ $5.7 bn, then you have all those minerals…

ctreese2.bsky.social•6 days ago

Especially because they have the "something" right now. Like what secret plan does Cruz et al think they have that wouldn't either disrupt us economically & be valid militarily?

luq73.bsky.social•5 days ago

Why does putin, I mean Cruz, say this???

romina2109.bsky.social•5 days ago

The first step is allowing Russia to own Ukraine. Then, USA will simply invade and own Greenland. They are helping Israel do this in Gaza right now. One day this will end and the rest of the world will remember and turn their backs on the USA.

Nazi Cruz.

xxjdxx.bsky.social•3 days ago

How about we sell Texas to Russia instead?

ctreese2.bsky.social•3 days ago

I'm willing to entertain this theory although they may go back to their ancient and ancestral Alaska claims to match their revanchist Ukraine logic. Mexico on the other hand...

xxjdxx.bsky.social•3 days ago

Ted is my Senator and a complete idiot. He seems to think any Greenland Independence Movement is identical to a Greenland We Want New Colonial Overlords Movement or he is just implying that, unlike Denmark, the US is more willing than to violently put down any “independence” nonsense

dhjo.bsky.social•6 days ago

Ok with this? @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu

nwcasebolt.bsky.social•6 days ago

Poor Denmark. Britain preemptively burns their fleet. Nazi Germany occupies them en route to preemptively occupying Norway. Now America wants to preemptively occupy a constituent territory. I don’t know why the Danes are always getting preempted.

stigo67.bsky.social•6 days ago

I don't have the answer, but it feels kind of personal.

nwcasebolt.bsky.social•6 days ago

Your country is the definition of wrong time, wrong place.

stigo67.bsky.social•6 days ago

Just wrong. But I'm quite happy about my country.

jrswin1.bsky.social•5 days ago

Ooooooh - tough guy Teddy.

triplebexxx.bsky.social•6 days ago

this image was really a warning that Cruz would back Trump all the way to the Führerbunker.
Deeply detestable man whose principles have always been a joke

ctreese2.bsky.social•6 days ago

The oddest was him citing a nearly non-existent independence movement that he thinks we'd co-opt into a "join America" movement. It was almost like he was threatening we'd support subversion (and perversion) of a self-rule movement. Are we arming partisans or something? Dumbest plot ever.

persistentpoasting.bsky.social•6 days ago

Greenland's independence movement is very real, exists for good reason, and is pretty old.
It is not a movement the US will have any success trying to coopt however. The greenlandic people are not interested in swapping one colonial master for another.

ctreese2.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yes. That was the point I was trying to make. You said it better.

persistentpoasting.bsky.social•6 days ago

My bad misunderstanding you then, but like to give examples of why they wouldn't be interested in another master, see the spiral case(warning: absolutely horrific) or the mining of cryolite shown in a recent DR documentary(has received criticism for strongly inflating the value of the enterprise)

persistentpoasting.bsky.social•6 days ago

They've been treated like shit for centuries and the independence movement was founded with the blood spilled by Denmark. It is not something the US can subvert easily.

persistentpoasting.bsky.social•6 days ago

"If Denmark doesn't sell green in violation of its constitution, then greenland could use the articles under the home rule law to break from the kingdom"

Is what he is saying, it's a non-sequitor.
Thats the deal if greenland decided to activate the independence articles. We agreed to that.

persistentpoasting.bsky.social•6 days ago

This isn't a warning, it's just telling Denmark to violate it's constitution or greenland will become independent by following the laws that govern it's Homerule.

chironarts.bsky.social•5 days ago

Ted Cruz is a liar and a cad

sutherla.bsky.social•5 days ago

Ted Cruz an American imperialist.

issacargopant.bsky.social•5 days ago

Its not an amateur misunderstanding. Its a professional fck you. Ge wants a conflict.

Fyi im in his district and voted for his opponent. He doesnt have my vote, nor has he responded in any watly "manly" to my ask about his own cucking of the senate.

whiskeythinker.bsky.social•5 days ago

I had nearly forgotten all about this smarmy little twatsack. He's so ridiculous when he tries to be a tough guy. Comical even. Pathetic mostly.

gockomo.bsky.social•6 days ago

Ted Cruz is for sale.

How does this cowardly motherfucker keep getting elected?

Oh... that's right... Texas.

ctreese2.bsky.social•6 days ago

Never underestimate grievance politics when played by the craven.

spellbound1311.bsky.social•5 days ago

Cruz is a useless moron. Canada and Mexico targeting red states like his is the way.

politicaled.bsky.social•5 days ago

Like anyone who is serious takes what this clown says seriously. Everyone knows who and what he is.

whutintarhooties.bsky.social•5 days ago

He needs to issue a warning to that pork belly around his neck.

komodo-flores2024.bsky.social•5 days ago

WTF!

nickforbrains.bsky.social•5 days ago

Cruz has nothing to do with it. They shouldn’t have deigned to speak with him. He would sacrifice his children on Elon’s altar
