If we had functioning press they’d be connecting the f**king dots for Americans:
We are making Canada and Europe hostile enemies while allying with Russia and other bad regimes.

Europe is being squeezed by US and Russia.
Yes he’s crazy; big island on Mercator map, Nobel.
But that’s not all this is. This is also about helping Russia, and surely in some way also China.
Always remember his most consistent through-line: He’s a traitor and does the bidding of our enemies.

What % of American Voters thought a Trump victory would be a war in Venezuela, a cold war with Europe over Greenland, and a federal invasion of Minnesota?
Either the media fucked up and should apologize,
Or the media got lied to by Trump and should be losing its god damned mind.

The idea that we’re going to ruin our long standing alliances and waste billions of dollars to buy Greenland while our own people can’t afford health care or groceries is maybe the dumbest thing a president has done in the history of this country.

Yeah, I couldn’t really believe what he was posting after the appearance by Jefferies the day before which was totally in opposition to what this was claiming. It was also vague. And I couldn’t find any confirmation of it anywhere. There wasn’t even really a source listed.

Exactly. Most of the big accounts on here that always yell at Dems for what Trump does were the same folks explicitly or implicitly saying: “don’t vote for Harris and Dems, not any better than Trump and Republicans.”
Why do you think I fucking screamed at people that whined about Harris that they had no understanding of how bad it would be to give Trump the levers of executive power again? But noooo, we just had to teach the party a lesson. Congratulations, you played yourself.

Why
All the signals are that a U.S. attack on Iran is imminent, a Western military official tells Reuters
Seeing reports of flights diverting near Iran, Tehran may possibly be closed based on some reports from contacts.
