JD Vance on Thursday accused Denmark — a fellow NATO member — and the rest of Europe of failing to protect Greenland from the intentions of Russia and China.
“I guess my advice to European leaders and anybody else would be to take the president of the United States seriously,” Vance told journalists at the White House when asked about Greenland.
After the US military successfully captured Venezuela’s leader Nicolas Maduro last weekend, Donald Trump renewed his push to acquire Greenland, with the use of military force not out of the question.
Vance especially urged Europe to respond to Trump’s insistence that the United States needs the island for “missile defense.”
I mean, I get you. Bruce Wayne is a capitalist, but depending on the writers, his philanthropy is incredibly deep and he’s doing the best he can, crazy as he is.
But you (deliberately?) missed the surface level message I was going for. You don’t turn your back on the Joker and you take him seriously.
And even if Bats is also a clown, are you saying you wouldn’t take him seriously if he started causing havoc?
The joker may be dressed as a clown but does not behave like one.
He’s clearly not, as he is a big part of why so many live in poverty and crime rates are so high. He’s causing people to suffer and starve and then fights them when they are forces into crime and/or won’t/can’t get the mental help they desperately need.
When you tax the rich you can raise the overall quality of living of everyone, lowering crime rates, increasing health care and education and the rest of society with it.
Bruce Wayne would do his best if he would use his fortune to help people instead of fighting them.
It’s the whole difference between the US and Norway. The US is the fucked up dystopian world from the batman universe where as Norway head more in the direction of Star Trek where people are happy, have basic needs all taken care of, are healthy and well educated, low crime rates, amazing incarceration system with only 15 to 20% of criminals to return back to prison (which is over 80% in the US), proper infrastructure, proper living situations, etc.
Sounds an awful lot like you’re taking Batman, a person you said was a clown, seriously.
How did you come to that conclusion?
I see him as a selfish egocentric rich asshole and a part of the case and enforcement of the big issue at hand (instead of the solution), I don’t take his superhero and victimrole bullshit serious at all. I see right through it. He’s just like Elon Musk and Trump.
The fact that I’m worried about people like this because they are way to powerful and dangerous doesn’t mean I take anything they say serious. I see them as a serious threat to society. And underage girls.
Ah. There it is. The distinction you’re making that wasn’t clear. You don’t take what they say seriously, but you take them seriously otherwise.
Well, let me tell you, when a despot says they’re going to do something despicable, it doesn’t matter whether they’re wearing clown makeup when they do so.
Indeed, Trump and Musk are clowns in plain clothes.
