TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force?
MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO
T: So force is on the table?

These conservative assholes are nothing but selfish trash. We quite literally need to find every law they have broken and prosecute them for it, take everything they have, and drive them out of our society. I’ve been 100% done with their shit since Reagan’s boot boys.

Trumps “Donroe Doctrine” okays with a wink and a nod Putins invasion of Ukraine and threatens parts of Eastern Europe, Eurasia and Africa.
Also green lights Xi to invade Taiwan if China so wishes along with other parts of Asia and Africa.
Not for the ideals of democracy but for natural resources.

Trump and his cronies can try to dress this up, but it is an illegal act of war to replace Maduro and grab Venezuela's oil for his billionaire buddies.

By example, Putin and the Second Chechen War
It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

trump is a lifelong con man, criminal, and liar who because a politician to make money (as they all do). What part of that combination makes anyone think he can be believed in anything? Europeans aren’t dumb, not like our politicians. Not for the most part. They knew this.
Trump ran as an isolationist opposing foreign wars. Today's invasion of #Venezuela shows that was BS. Greenland may be next.
Europeans need to wake up and understand the risk is much worse than they've been telling themselves. My piece from February:

Europe misread Trump as an isolationist. It's now clear he's an imperialist.
Gaza, Panama, Canada, Venezuela and Greenland are all in the crosshairs of Trump's manifest destiny. Europeans thought the risk was America would leave them alone. Now the risk is America will attack.

Has anyone asked Senator Rick Scott? Columbia/HCA hospital chain paid $1.7 Billion in fines for Medicaid fraud committed when he was CEO. He resigned with a big beautiful golden parachute after committing the fraud to avoid any responsibility and become a 'fiscally conservative" politician.
