President Trump’s bellicose demands about Greenland and participation in his “board of peace” are deepening worries about the fate of the trans-Atlantic alliance.
President Trump on Tuesday escalated tensions with the United States’ longest allies, meeting diplomatic overtures with mocking online posts and threats of economic levies and territorial expansion, just hours before he was set to meet with European counterparts in the Swiss Alps.
Mr. Trump warned that he would impose a new round of tariffs against European nations unless they acquiesced to his demands that the United States take over Greenland. He invited President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia, who European leaders have sought to isolate to counter his invasion of Ukraine, to join his new “board of peace” to reconstruct Gaza. He shared a post on social media that claimed China and Russia were simply “boogeymen” and that the United Nations and NATO were “the real threat.”
The president even posted the private text messages of European leaders trying to strike conciliatory notes, and shared a computer-generated image of himself planting a flag on Greenland. “GREENLAND, US TERRITORY, EST. 2026,” read a wooden placard in the image.
And when asked how far he was willing to go to acquire Greenland, Mr. Trump told reporters at the White House: “You’ll find out.”
I think you got it backwards, the Epstein files distract from him actually dismantling the world order.
What? Nobody is distracted by anything Epstein files right now, I can assure you.
There is no world order being dismantled don’t be dramatic. Just the USA. That’s why Putin invested in active measures in the 80s and 90s. The world order is constantly reordering itself, it’s not set in stone. And the USA’s position as top dog is over.
I was talking about making sure a guy who raped children, dodged the draft, cheated in 3 presidential elections and fucked pornstars when his wife was pregnant faces some form of accountability.
Yes america is completely unimportant for global stability. /S
You must work hard to remain that uninformed.
Yes america providing “stability” for white capitalist countries is the only thing that matters /s
You must be very naive to think that fantasy of inequality was going to last forever.
Ah so we went from America doesn’t matter for global stability to: it’s actually good if all relations with America are destroyed. Smart thinking!
Ah so we went from America is important for global stability to: that’s why it’s good that the Epstein Files are not released. Smart thinking!
Why people are defending a pedophile president on here eludes me.
You can be appalled at the silly distraction magician show he’s doing and call for the files to be released so we may know a sliver of truth of how the power class has ruled and blackmailed the world for decades.
Truly the dumbest strawman I’ve seen in a long time, maybe ever.
He said without realising that was exactly what he was doing.
Sure, now let’s get you your meds and some warm milk.
