    I think he’d love to rename it after himself somehow. And if they did an instant takeover, that would be Trump’s “V-Day.”

    I wouldn’t bet money on it, but if I had to, that’s the day I’d pick. They are ramping up the rhetoric more than they ever did for Venezuela.

    I think his birthday is coming up. That is a strong contender as well. “Happy Birthday, Mr. President. We got you Greenland.”

    “Wow, no one has ever gotten me one of those before. Can I do the whole Prime Nocturn thing with the Danish gals?”

    That might be a better bet, even.

      I mean I wouldn’t say that. They quite literally murdered people regularly in the lead up to that with the boat thing.

        Yes, the action was more severe, but generally downplayed as “just law enforcement stuff”, not every day musing how they should just take Venezuela over.

        Waltzing into Venezuela seems to be like blood in the water. They have a taste for it and are ready to roll over another “easy” target (why would NATO raise a fuss over less than 70K people, I am sure they are thinking)

        They don’t see Venezuela as a one off, they see it as momentum…
