They are facing those claims as we speak.

As a man in that age range, who played a lot of Nigel Mansell's F1 Grand Prix on the Gameboy, I'm clearly not cut out for this administration (amongst other reasons)

Perhaps Canada should demand Oregon become part of Canada for security reasons and see how Trump responds

alanallport.bsky.social•52 days ago

Disagree. Way too sophisticated. This is Risk-level stuff.

pwarren.bsky.social•51 days ago

Greenland is the only way in the North America from Europe in Risk, too. And Panama is the only way up from S. America. Just sayin...

And read far too much late Tom Clancy

These MFers never had the skill to build tall. Map painting chuds

Disagree; Greenland is two 3-dev provinces that are not worth the manpower. Although he may be looking for minor duchies to award his more useless sons.

OMG lol

But it's the only reasonable way to Europe!

I think the people who have played CK probably understand Trump better than those who have only played EU4.

They’re saying there’s kings who are marrying their daughters, and we’re going to be looking at that very strongly

I think that Count Jerkus, who can barely read, should be our royal chancellor forever and it's *not* because he knows my incest secret!

Ah yes, he's that one fucked up experiment where you try to pile all of the negative traits onto the same singular ruler.

The Greenland idea started with Ronald Lauder, an 80 year old billionaire

Gotta grab those Greenland provinces to extend our colonial range and they are far enough away from Europe that the AE should be manageable. .

Perhaps, but that might be a bit generous, those games are complex and require a lot of detailed planning and attention.

I think https://Territorial.io is their ballpark 😂

So I get why he is after Panama... his buddies are paying a lot in shipping fees thru the canal.

But why Greenland?
