Agree with you point about China,India and Russia but if you think Trump is going invade Greenland you're wrong because as thick as Trump is he knows that would finish him internationally and at home
 
We'll see. Personally I don't see there is anything to 'finish' him. Finished where? Electorally? He isn't standing again. Finished in terms of allies? The US is so powerful that Trump doesn't need anyone's approval. The only constraints on him are the laws of physics. He has already said that he doesn't care about NATO so collapsing that won't mean anything to him.

He will do a simple calculation. What means more to the US? The NATO alliance or the rare earth minerals in Greenland. He won't even blink answering that.

Britain and the Europeans are living in a dreamland thinking that international law still matters to anyone. Britain and Europe are weak and there is nothing either of them can to enforce international law. We need realise this and start thinking how we protect ourselves and our interests in this new world. 
When l said finish him l should have said more the Republican party,As thick as he is even he wouldn't dare before the mid terms take Greenland 
He has given the green light to Russia and China to be bullies as well
If he takes Greenland thats the end of NATO 
l have no problem him taking MADuro and bombing drug cartels,but Greenland is not a dictatorship or mafia run country 
Basically you saying he wouldn't blink is admitting hes a dictator

In truth the so called international rules have been broken regularly over the years ignored by many countries in the west when they saw fit. Trump’s capturing of a tin pot dictator from a tin pot country is no big deal compared to the UK and France taking over the Suez Canal in 1956 and the he illegal invasion of Iraq in the Bush/Blair era.

Starmer referred to the restoration of democracy in Venezuela but that is not what the USA is after rather it wants a regime that is favourable to their long term interests. Be assured the USA has always had a fear of democracies within their sphere of influence.

The real problem that the other democracies of the world face is that certain leaders are feeling emboldened by the actions and words of the world’s most powerful democracy. I am confident that Trump will not get hold of Greenland but don’t be surprised if his ally in charge of Argentina gets more bullish about that county’s right to the Malvinas.

No surprises you think rape is cool....wrong un 
Of course, you, a self confessed rapist of impoverished, disabled, 3rd World children would conclude that.

Even if Vance lost. China, India and Russia have abandoned the Rules based order long ago. You can't apply international law just to the West when everyone else ignores it.

The post-war rules based order is over. There is nothing anyone can do about that. We need to think about how we survive in that world and who we build alliances with and what we have to offer to any alliance.

Meanwhile back in the UK the Palestinian embassy was opened. We now have a terrorist organisation set up in London with the government’s approval.

I'm no lefty, but Trump's behaviour is becoming very unhinged to me. It's concerning that he wants to annex a part of sovereign European territory. He's no better than Putin if he does.
Sovereign NATO territory at that.

I reckon they must be best mates away from here and have concocted a routine to see how much they can bore/ piss off the rest of us.
There can be no other explanation as to why two adults would keep this up day after day, going round in the same circles.
Would be so easy to ignore one another or communicate privately but they seem determined to play this nonsense out in full view of the rest of us.
Very fucking odd.

We will let you invade Ukraine & take their resources & you let us take Venezuela

If Trump's got any sense (which I seriously doubt) he'll do a "Hong Kong" on Greenland, leasing just enough to build a couple of fuck-off airfields and deep water harbours.

He knows money talks and will use that as a leverage.

Made me laugh watching Aussie news and they covered some protesters at Sydney's Town Hall against the American strikes and abductions in Venezuela, strange thing was that most of them had keffiyeh's? 🤣, I didn't realise that they wore these in Venezuela...................😕

They also had a counter protest that supported what occurred, so Police kept the 2 sides apart, these people were chanting in Spanish and had Venezuelan shirts and flags, none of which the other side had!!!Do these extreme lefties types realise how stupid they look by doing this?
