Since his socialist ideology was written out of the history books.. In his own words:
"If America does not use her vast resources of wealth to end poverty and make it possible for all of God’s children to have the basic necessities of life, she too will go to hell."
Happy MLK Day.

Good. This is exactly what Canada should be doing. Will it anger Trump? Yes. If Canada wants to remain a sovereign country, we MUST visibly support NATO.

Canada weighs plans to send soldiers to Greenland as show of NATO solidarity with Denmark, officials say
Move could anger U.S. President Trump, who has threatened new tariffs on European countries that sent personnel there

Beyond the fact that this bugfuck insane letter was written and sent to the leader of Norway, the State Dept agreeing to distribute it to other heads of state instead of objecting and honorably resigning or at the very least planning some kind of coverup is a sign of deep institutional collapse.
So this is why Trump is fixated on Greenland. Vengeance strikes again. This guy is dangerous.

Antifascists have been talking for a long time about how countering fascism is at its core community defense work.

i was talking with someone in the twin cities about how it’s not even accurate to call them protesters. they’re literally just people protecting their city from TERRORISTS.
Every time the Trump regime uses the words "funded protesters" and "outside agitators" news outlets need to cut to this photo from last week.
ICE has invaded these communities. Outside agitators don't show up in their fucking bathrobes.

Honestly, if I'm a NATO intel service atm, I'm thinking of the best un-source/method compromising way to publicize my entire intel file on the amount of dirt Putin has on Trump in the next 24 hrs.
![NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:
Dear Ambassador:
President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]
“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hbpefio3f5csc44msmbgioxz/bafkreie7itpptx3xbxhpsnlaqmwk752h7pcrion5ija2apksljtax2adx4@jpeg)

Key roots of this Greenland crisis (aside from obvious of Trump himself)
1. Failure of Congress to assert its war powers and punish presidential efforts to tread on them.
2. Failure of Congress and the courts to speedily restrict the president’s absurd claims to authority to impose tariffs.

Deeply important to understand that Trump never jokes. All of this stuff that started as a joke and then became real was never a joke. He always says what he wants to do and people SAY it's a joke because they're too callow to acknowledge that he's the most ignorant, vicious person alive.

Obama winning one really melted his brain.
Norwegian PM Støre says Trump repeatedly raises—complains about, pleads for, and demands—the Nobel Peace Prize every time they meet. Støre gives same answer each time: decision is made independently by Norwegian Nobel Committee, with no role for Norwegian gov—a concept Trump appears unable to grasp.

It is hard to imagine what Trump would be doing differently if he is a Russian asset.
I keep wondering if Trump is doing this specifically on Russia's behalf to get the US out of NATO.
Trump: "NATO has been telling Denmark, for 20 years, that “you have to get the Russian threat away from Greenland.” Unfortunately, Denmark has been unable to do anything about it. Now it is time, and it will be done!!! President Donald J. Trump"

Good rule of thumb for friends is to imagine if China decided to start loudly discussing taking Hawaii, and how quickly you'd see red, and how unfunny you'd find it, and how belligerent your reaction to it would be. That is how Europeans and Canadians feel about this rhetoric from the US.
