Inb4 Trump starts invading because 2-3 MAGA nuts from greenland said they wanted to be part of US, so that’s plenty of reason for the whole Greenland to need it as well - “they’ll see why it’s good for them once they’re ours, trust me”.

Those are rookie numbers.
Gotta pump them up until you randomly see a former oligarch malnourished and in dirty scrapped clothes holding a cup saying “change for the poor” as you exit the local random gas station.
I know, wishful thinking as these sleazebags have safety nets within safety nets, but one can dream.
Sad that they never learn their lesson and we’re all stuck in this cycle of:
Rich person buys power > Makes life a living hell for the people > The people revolt and burn everything down > Rich person (hopefully) gets dragged through the streets and has a public medieval-like execution as an example > Peace with rules in place to prevent that from happening again > People generations later get lax > Another rich prick comes along and exploits the weakness of the system and meekness of the people.
And round and round we go. As they say, “Strong men create times of peace, weak men create times of conflict”.
Between her and Harris she’s 10x less bad, I’ll give you that. Other than that, agree to disagree. 🤷♂️
While your logic does have a point, and there’s no shortage of sexists out there, I must also state that both Clinton and Harris were horrid candidates as well, and both followed a democrat president the people were starting to/were done with.
Not only that, but both times Trump preyed on what the people were desperate to hear: “Better living conditions, lower prices” and all that. This was mainly the illusion of choice between two evils, and they chose the one that seemed to be the lesser one. The one who appeared to be “more honest” and despite being a nepo-baby called out and criticized all other rich people.
The issue is the system itself, and the fact that voters choose their candidates like celebrities or their sports team. See Harris making her campaign way more about celebrity endorsement than commiting to actual societal issues. She was never gonna win like that, and even if she did, she would still be a bad president. Not worse for sure, now that we all are seeing current Trump starting all sorts of conflicts and trying to become a dictator, but still a bad president.
The US can elect a female president. But so far the options picked for that were absolutely horrid, and I know there’s several good and competent female leaders who are both democrats and republicans. Sadly they have too much common sense or lean too much to the centre to be taken seriously by the ones who want to create a spectacle.
If anything it’s cause for national insecurity, given that if they invade, per NATO rules, an attack on one is an attack on all.
But Trump is used to getting what he wants by breaking the rules and facing no consequences, so I guess it’ll be a FAFO thing.
I must admit, I do fear that if it comes to that NATO will fight the usual way - strong worded letter. For a buffoon who can’t even read and only responds to a fat stick to the face.
