Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Everything under Trump seems to trace back to Putin. I think they are doing this to give false legitimacy to Putin's invasion into Ukraine. They will say "See? America is doing it so we can too".
Khrushchev was right when he said they will take America without firing a shot. Now they have done it.
plausible, even if just as a sideshow diversion. it's one of the only ways to explain the flaming shit-train of bonkers greenland/mexico/canada/panama rhetoric
It's a flea circus. If you are watching/listening to something insane happening then you aren't watching then steal an election in North Carolina or fast track a bunch of crazy deportation laws or Russian jets flying back and forth between NY, DC and wherever the fuck else.
If you are drowning in propaganda you eventually lose sight of the real issues.
Nope.
The desire for Greenland is rational, but evil.
Climate change is going to open up a lot of trade routes year round as a lot of the ice melts.
Greenland is very strategically placed for controlling those trade routes. It's basically the same reason Trump wants the Panama canel.
Edit: Trump is bad. It is stupid that I have to say this, but if you want to fight someone you have to understand why they do things and you can't just assume stupidity as that reason.
We literally have a statement for this 'Don't underestimate your opponents'
