Sen. Ruben Gallego, an Arizona Democrat, said he will introduce a resolution to block Donald Trump from invading Greenland, a self-governing Danish territory.
Concerns about U.S. action against Greenland have grown on the heels of the attack on Venezuela, which led to the capture of leader Nicolas Maduro.
“Everybody wants us to have a bigger presence in Greenland to combat the Russian/Chinese Arctic influence,” Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said.
Yeah, I have a really horrible feeling that WW3 is going to start soon. This is why it’s bad to have such an insanely huge military. Not only does it deprive your own people of hundreds of billions in social services, it provides a piece of absolute shit like trump the ability to destroy global stability whenever they want.
We all fucking tried telling conservatives and third party voters for over a decade now that this was a life or death situation, to oppose trump at all costs. Every goddamned day we are proven more right than we ever knew. America is over at this point regardless, but even worse we may take down millions or billions of humans in the process. Never been a scarier time to be aware of world politics.
I am of the honest opinion that whatever history considers the “first act” of WW3 has already occurred, whether it be boat bombings, leader abductions, or something else I don’t even know about.
Future historian: “Actually, it was the ‘covfefe’ tweet.”
Previous “first acts” of world wars quickly led to a cascade of treaties being acted upon and declarations of war being announced. I think your opinion is unfounded in historical context. Not to say that we shouldn’t be alarmed or that we’re hurtling towards a global armed conflict if drastic change doesn’t occur, but I think its alarmist to claim its already started.
