I cannot see…

Full control of the Arctic circle and Trump is an imperialist. Mainly the second to be honest because as things stand strategic control is given to the US anyway.

Again, you’re missing the fact that Trump is in control of the US. The only people who have influence over Trump are Putin and Netanyahu, because they have either kompromat on the bloke or he owes money.

the US has been a plutocracy

No more. It’s a dictatorship run by Trump. What applied in the past no longer applies.

you want a short answer

The US will move on Greenland before Easter and you better prep for it.

As to how Europe reacts, we’ll see, but the US will take Greenland.

No, I am not one of those…

Shakes head Righto. I think I got what you meant by that. ‘I am not naive’ probably would have been good enough given that…

I am not a US citizen

So how can you not recognise, after seeing what you have, that this is no bluff? Your claim that the US elite have Trump by the balls is incorrect by inspection. It’s the other way round.

You need to understand rationale has been replaced with ruthlessness and fascism. China might replace the US, yeah, but not yet and not quickly. You’re not correct about its economic influence either; you’ve completely disregarded the rest of the economic world outside the US and Europe.

Sure, Europe is diversifying, as it should be and should have ages ago but none of that explains or underwrites the US bluffing, nor does it prevent it from happening.

Trump has reasons he believes are good enough to take Greenland and he will attempt. This is no bluff. There are strategic reasons he wants this territory in control of the US. Furthermore, his tech bros are pushing for it as well.

Realist ay? You better shake yourself into reality sunshine, because unless there’s some swift, serious movement within the US to stop or displace Trump, Greenland will be part of the US before the years out. Absolutely it would be disastrous but the ignorance of reality is thinking it won’t happen. They said they would and they will.

I have to ask; were you one of those who thought the institutions would uphold and Trump would be prosecuted during Biden’s term?

I’m getting ‘pragmatist who is confidently incorrect’ vibes.

You’re wrong on two points here: this is no distraction and the United States isn’t bluffing.

They’ve pretty much got their numbers right.

Non voting is voting, in this regard.

If there’s this many allies, where are they when voting time comes? Twice, he was elected.

Nice points.

fascism operates on…

That’s conservatism.

What lawful purpose? As I understand it they were an unnecessary creation by George Bush Jnr, but I’m open to being better advised.

In fact I recall discussion at the time about them being used to suppress the population in the future. Those discussing it were ridiculed, as were those who said the US would elect Trump.

So you didn’t vote then?

It also enshittifies your house. You put control of important things into the hands of the worst humans on earth via their shitty tech.

Fuck this thing, fuck Alexa, fuck the rest of them whatever they’re called. You’ve got to be a moron to do this.

Why are people wiring their houses up like this?

Yeah they’re still going in the crucial areas, such as the tankie subs.

That’s basically what’s meant by ‘in the end, they don’t win’, yeah.

I don’t want to see this happen ay. The US has put out more good than bad. We don’t just lose the mad, bad shit, we’ll lose all the good stuff as well like tech advancements, entertainment, pop culture…it’ll all go and that might be the biggest tragedy of the lot.

Of course it does, it’s Amazon and it’s a huge American company.

They’re acting like Americans do.

I’m not quite there yet but my default position with each individual now is that they aren’t trustworthy.

Hey leave our sharks alone mate

If that’s truly the case, they really have problems and it’s no surprise that they have the president and government they do.

What is this based on? That more people in that country vote by mail than in person? Those lazy motherfuckers.

What a fuckin shit show. They deserve tge president and government they have. For this, their apathy and their privately owned voting machines.

He’ll be president next term too, if he lives that long. Those clowns can’t stop him. They can’t even get up to vote.

Shows what? That you’re all too lazy to get up and vote?

Like I said, you deserve this president. Get off your arses and do something.

60% turnout, ay? I don’t think it matters, you’re all too lazy and apathetic to do it.

the number of…

If so, and I’ll take your word for it here, that just reflects how lazy the population is.

Are you seriously trying to tell me mail in voting is a more reliable way of turning out to vote than in person? Well, maybe I guess, if you factor in the case the US uses voting machines owned py private individuals.

The United States deserves this president, for their greed, apathy and laziness in neglecting to vote. Get off your fuckin arses, if you can, and get to the polling booth.

Twenty years you’ve been warned and you still can’t listen. You truly deserve this government.

A petition I started motivated a group of rich people to buy a really important music venue and save it from being demolished.

I guess I’d call Slim Dusty’s Redback On the Toilet Seat bad decision then, in terms of timing.

What’s your thoughts?

Yeah nah go vote in person. Who cares what they want. Get up and go do it, and go do better than 60% for once in your elections.

You know you did it for sure then.

You wanna talk about turning up in numbers? Turn up to vote. If you’d done that from the outset for primaries and general elections, every election that requires voting including local boards, you wouldn’t be here.
