Donald Trump’s demand for Greenland is no 19th-century imperial throwback.

Rather it signals a hypermodern reality: a world transforming thanks to climate change, with China, Russia and the United States jostling to take advantage.

McClure fantastic soap company 1978 and he would travel around the USA hiring kids sales soap and buying them vehicles to drive and some solid 1500 dollars a day knocking on house doors 35 dollars for the 35 cents a bottle and he would rent a motel out that was empty and paid cash Mr Gold fingers

A lot of people come into my office saying they will stop buying American products.

No, it is a throwback to times when demagogues diverted attention from serious things to frivolous ones designed to keep their name in the media's news cycle for 2-3 days. He succeeded on both points. How long have you been reporting it, @politico.eu Time to drop it to look at why the distracting

Hypermodern my arse! It’s 1878 Berlin Conference stuff. But of course some moron will come along and put some BS spin on what can only be described as primitive sandpit bullying.

Hypermodern reality? Rather the resurrection of retrograde, atavistic traditions used by the Nazis in the last century. "Volk ohne Raum" and "Deutschland über Alles" are synonymous with "We want Greenland" and "Make America great again", Trump and Musk are today's Hitler and Goebbels.

Stop fucking normalizing this malignant, insane criminal. JFC.

davidajones.bsky.social•48 days ago

I think what you meant to say was, “haha, what a dumbass.”

capn0blivious.bsky.social•48 days ago

Fuck Trump and fuck sanewashing him to portray a not-senile, rational human being.

christysweet.bsky.social•48 days ago

Americans were just leveraged by Dems in order to get a fat pay off to NOT object to Trump under 14.3 Wake up ! Kamala SOLD US OUT

funpuns24.bsky.social•48 days ago

Greenland is Sovereign territory of Denmark….
Which is part of NATO 🤔
So Fuck Off Donald 🤨

You don’t seem to be fully cognizant of what “19th century imperialism” was, because it was EXACTLY just that.

sutherla.bsky.social•48 days ago

This is wonderfully absurd, since #Trump denies climate change

mekis34.bsky.social•48 days ago

putin is very happy by talks like this. It means that his actions is pretty normal. China is going to take Taiwan... We are going back to 1800...

brunofrancis.bsky.social•47 days ago

Trumpty Dumpty built up a wall. Trumpty Dumpty caused the nation to fall. All the republiKING’S horses and all of his men, only made America hate once again.

ewansanderson.bsky.social•48 days ago

Is it fuck, it's economic imperialism you weasels.

vghedid.bsky.social•48 days ago

Said by who?

martinneu.bsky.social•48 days ago

USA's starting point to project power in the Arctic is Alaska. That is located at the entrance to the arctic region for China. Plus they can keep the base on Greenland, if they behave properly.

There is no method, only madness.

idlebank.bsky.social•48 days ago

Stupid take, stop normalizing things coming from a demented idiots mouth.

Wish these “news” organizations would do actual journalism, and not just fulfill word counts.

alltingsconsidered.bsky.social•48 days ago

When the newly elected fascist dictator of the US says insane things it matters because he might follow through on some of that and we should be prepared to contain the damage.

jussijk.bsky.social•48 days ago

Greenland is already solidly in the American sphere of interest militarily, Trump probably wants to underline that and strengthen the case for claiming the natural resources too.

I obviously don't approve of the method, but it's not as crazy as it might seem, it's the emerging new world order.

tubby57.bsky.social•48 days ago

Just wondering when the trade war will start. If USA China and Russian destroy each other the world would probably be a better place

sebekjphd.bsky.social•48 days ago

The gentleman seems ridiculous.
