Please stop doing his PR for him. Is it just like he didn't really have an actual intention to deploy ICE as blackshirts? Is it like how he wasn't really going to gut government agencies under the flimsiest excuse of "DOGE"? Is it like how he wasn't going to go completely absurd with tariffs? Is it just like he wasn't going to begin sinking ships, pirating oil tankers, and starting wars with nearby countries?
Just because the guy is so incompetent his letting you see his cards before he has played them doesn't mean he does not intend on playing them. It is signalling to Russia, China, and Saudi Arabia not only that he has them but that he will play them. This all comes from initiatives from people like the Heritage Foundation's Luke Coffey colliding and merging with all the other agendas he sees himself benefiting from that have foreign powers freely buying his influence and pushing him towards this change in world order.
When China invades Taiwan, when Russia begins invading other countries besides Ukraine, it is very likely the Trump administration will use this as an excuse to try to "protect" strategic interests like Canada and Greenland, which will just be the US moving in their military influence into the bases already present on their soil and then sprawling out to whatever "strategic" assets they need to "secure", while also trying to pressure their governments into a deal like Ukraine's. When they don't cooperate, they will call up on their new "allies" to manufacture pressure for them while they are preoccupied trying to keep the US military locked down, likely through "Trump daddy" Mark Rutte led NATO.
No amount of denial has ever kept wars from happening in the past.
Canada understands the threat, thus the boycott of all things USian and call for 300,000 civilian military.
Nobody uses this. In fact nobody uses an acronym and slaps ian or any other postfix to describe any group of people anywhere UAEians see how weird that is?
They're called Emerati which is not far off from UAEian.
it is completely different from USian or UAEian note the actual word that is pluralized is a fucking word as opposed to an acronym!
It's also weird to invent such a word in the same language instead of using the correct word that planet earth and the people in question use.
Shit, good point, he's done other crazy shit.
