Is it dan?
Is it fair when a few hundred thousand women and kids die for Netanyahu? (That's just the last year or so, not a complete total, much higher Can't forget Madelaine Albright and 500,00 babies in Iraq and everything in between) Is it fair when Venezuelans are eating cats and dogs? Or is it just fair when people like yourself are satisfied with the above outcome What if Trump really is compromised by the Epstein files And he takes his orders from Netanyahu and Miriam Adelson It's quite possible you know. And people wonder why crazy enraged Muslims are losing their minds. Not that they need a whole lot of help with Islam... Don't be surprised when theres and equal and opposite reacion And all the U.S. plans go to shite, as they usually do. Posted by Armchair Critic, Tuesday, 6 January 2026 6:59:12 PM

I think Trump will take Greenland.
And I wouldn't be at all surprised if they try to do the '7 wars in 5 years' thing in Latin America, and try to knock a few more countries off. But I don't think the have the ground forces to invade them, it would be Vietnam all over again. And without boots on the ground I'm not sure how they can control them. All it will take is to put 1000 troops down there, and for revolutionaries to attack them and know knows where that could go. They made sure to take Maduros wife too, so that she can't get on the TV screaming her head off. Delsy Rodriguez could go to Chevron herself and try to work out a new deal where the Venezuelan people aren't robbed. U.S. getting into a ground war would be bloody, a LOT of U.S. troops going home in coffins. But they're still capable of projecting power anywhere and doing these quick shock and awe campaigns, but they may not always be successful like the 2020 'Bay of Piglets' "Bay of Piglets" is a nickname for Operation Gideon, a failed 2020 mercenary-led attempt to invade Venezuela and overthrow President Nicolás Maduro, named in mockery of the 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion in Cuba due to its perceived incompetence and poor execution by a small, ill-equipped group. The operation, involving former U.S. Special Forces, was foiled by the Venezuelan military, leading to arrests and further political turmoil, highlighting themes of hubris and failed covert action.

I think that Pres Trump believes that if the US don't control Greenland China and Russia will control it, because they can't defend themselves. So it's better to let the US in rather than let an insane unstable group take it. There will be significant costs to the US so they will need to take a large proportion of the resource income. They need to have control so that they are free to implement tactics.

International law, and the so called rules based order, are like the Nuremberg Laws, designed by the oppressor to oppress the oppressed. Based on Trumps action in Venezuela, China would be within their rights under "international law" to take back Taiwan.

Since 1947, the United States foreign policy has repeatedly employed force, covert action, and political manipulation to bring about regime change in other countries. This is a matter of carefully documented historical record. Iraq 2003, Libya 2011, Syria beginning in 2011, Honduras 2009, Ukraine 2014, and Venezuela from 2002 onward. Peace and the survival of humanity depend on whether the United Nations Charter remains a living instrument of international law or is allowed to wither into irrelevance. That is the choice before this council today.
