Which side does he think NATO would support?

[–] Ferroto@lemmy.world 7 points 6 hours ago

An attack on one is an attack on all. I always wondered what would happen if one NATO country attacked another.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

No matter how dumb you think he is I'm sure his cult is lapping it up.

"We want you to violate the sovereignty of a fellow NATO country. Are you in?"

[–] picnic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Literally what's wrong with you? How dense can one carrot be?

[–] Canadian_anarchist@lemmy.ca 11 points 9 hours ago

A literal carrot would be an improvement over the current orange tyrant.

[–] person1@lemm.ee 16 points 12 hours ago

Amazing. It is like they want people to hate America as much as possible before America starts confronting China.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 14 points 15 hours ago

Trumps fundamental and broad stupidity amazes every day.

[–] KulunkelBoom@lemm.ee 18 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Putin stooge wants an easy war somewhere.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

He probably wants that the NATO acquires Greenland, Canada, etc. for the US.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 27 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

The more I look into Greenland situation the more I am thinking there's already a psychological campaign in play to get them to be part of the US. They're legitimately trying to get away for the Danish government and there's a strong US presence there already with military bases. I suspect the target is to get them to hand over the keys not only willingly but ask for it.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Then we drill drill drill dig dig dig

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 40 points 22 hours ago (3 children)

Trump added that the result was very good for the US and 'the person who did the best is a very good person as far as we’re concerned'

Me too form together words too

[–] Atherel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 19 hours ago

I've read the article and it's just gibberish. I can't even conclude how they came to this headline.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 12 points 21 hours ago

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

Reminds me of mission briefings in KSP.

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 27 points 21 hours ago

Given that he regards the Department of Justice as his personal litigators, it makes sense that he’d regard NATO as his enforcers.

[–] BlackRing@midwest.social 187 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I hope NATO does get involved. Not the same way Trump hopes though...

[–] Nemean_lion@lemmy.ca 81 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Canada has three of top 5 longest sniper kills. Ukraine has the top spot. We just need to export a small chunk of metal at high velocity into a golf course.

[–] Embargo@lemm.ee 46 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I hope you're prepared to pay an extra 25% on that export.

[–] notabot@lemm.ee 11 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

No, no, the importer pays the tax. You might want to send them a little extra if you want to help them out with that.

The mighty US of A needs NATO to invade an island with 56,000 inhabitants?

Is Wakanda located on that island or what?

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 17 points 20 hours ago

Maybe he meant against us not supporting us?

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 90 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (5 children)

Dumbass doesn't even understand that NATO is a DEFENSIVE pact and that Denmark is a member. Not wanting to give you their territory doesn't count as an attack.

Also if he really cared about security he would have strengthened his ties with his allies instead of pushing them away. The US is far less secure now that it was 3 months ago.

[–] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 26 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Not wanting to give you their territory doesn't count as an attack.

Having been married to a narcissist for 11 years, yes, that's literally how they think. My ex would fly off the handle if I told her "no" to sex or whatever it was that she wanted. She'd throw out all kinds of excuses about how it was my fault somehow, and even during our divorce, when we were literally separated, she forced her way into my room (we still lived in the same house for a few weeks) just to "cuddle" and would throw a fit if I didn't give in. Remember, we were getting divorced. I had to put my foot down hard on that line. And yes, she would get violent.

Orange presidents with tiny dick syndrome calling a country's refusal to give up territory an "attack" is not much different, fundamentally.

This is wholly out of control.

Fix your country, you absolute selfish idiots.

[–] Rookwood@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 20 hours ago

No. You don't understand. Imagine 1930s Germany. Imagine what those German citizens must have been like. That's America, but possibly more stupider.

[–] dephyre@lemmy.world 43 points 1 day ago (19 children)

I don't disagree, but... how?

[–] ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net 17 points 1 day ago
  1. Joining and organizing within your local community to create connections with others is incredibly powerful, will lay the groundwork for effective resistance.
  2. We can effect things drastically with a general strike. This can massively impact their income streams, and can bring a government to its knees if done on a large enough scale.
  3. Join the IWW and attempt to unionize your workplace, so that the general strike is even more effective.

If we put in the work, we can resist this and we can win. Join up with allies while we still can easily!

Trump thinks that NATO is his personal army now?

Eh, must be Tuesday

[–] sloppychops@lemmy.ca 5 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Trump being an idiot? Must be a day that starts with a T.

There's Tuesday and Thursday. Thriday, Thaturday and Thunday. And of course Tonday and Tednesday.

[–] BorgDrone@lemmy.one 2 points 7 hours ago

You forgot Today and Tomorrow.

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 25 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

He wants Greenland the same way as Putin wanted extra countries. How many countries did Russia invade between 2000 and 2020?

National security is just a pretext. Greenland already contributes to your national security you king. They’re a part of NATO. You already have force projection up there if required.

[–] WaterFoul@lemmy.world 6 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

The only people who should dictate Greenland's sovereignty are it's inhabitants.

He knows this. He's just making moves to divide the West. Tariffs aren't about local manufacturing, they're supposed to make people mad at each other.

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

His entire campaign and following is about division and hate. And the lies to cause said division.

Kill him. I'm Canadian. Come at me.

NATO will do exactly nothing to help the bloated orange shit-weasel take over Greenland.

Greenland and Canada are NATO countries. You cannot attack or forcefully annex another NATO country. If he leaves NATO, he will be up against Canada & Europe. The US is one Twizzler away from having the entire world sanction & boycott it.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

And who does that benefit on the large scale?

This isn't Trump being a greedy idiot. This is systematic destruction of the US from inside out. Can't say Russia didn't warn you though:

"We will take America without firing a shot. We do not have to invade the US. We will destroy you from within."

— Nikita Khrushchev January 18th, 1956

[–] Zier@fedia.io 1 points 4 hours ago

It's pretty clear he's a putin asset.
