"Trump is teasing US expansion into Panama, Greenland and Canada'
https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/23/politics/trump-us-expansion-panama-canada-greenland/index.html
You know, like Hitler "expanded" into Poland and Sudatenland and France.
Like how Stalin "expanded" into Poland and Germany and Slovakia.
It's called INVASION.
And it's called INSANE.
And it's not "teasing". It's THREATENING our allies!

We are taking what is rightfully ours.
Resistance is futile, they will be assimilated.

(21,880 posts)The media works for the Rightwing oligarchs that installed Trump. The sooner people accept that the sooner we can come up with a way to address it.

(24,752 posts)First, grotesque of TSF to make such proclamations. It's expected but no less nauseating when it happens.
Second, grotesque of the DC political establishment to treat this bullshit as plausible, let alone justifiable. They're paid well to know better.
Third (possibly worst of all), exceedingly grotesque of CNN to publish such an uncritical fluff-job of an article that normalizes expansionist aggression while apparently regarding these ideas as novel and exciting. "Teases"? Really? I have never seen such twisted self-debasing complicity from the press, even after the 9-11 attacks when W could do no wrong. This article reeks of a terrified news-media operating in fear for its very life, completely incapable of performing anything resembling responsible journalism. In the most generous interpretation, it quite possibly stands as an unwitting plea for divine intervention, yet even so it remains callous, foul, and disgusting.
Grotesque.

(19,515 posts)He's spewing bullshit once again. Yes, it's disturbing, but really he's just trolling. US tanks aren't rolling into Canada, he can't take back the canal and Greenland is a gigantic iceberg that wants nothing to do with him or us.

Trump Considers US Expansion.
It's like CNN is presenting this as a real option-- that we can just EXPAND INTO Canada. They even marvel that it would "rival the Louisiana Purchase!"
These are actual sovereign countries with citizens.
Of course it's completely not possible. But they don't headline:
Trump Considers Idiotic, Insane, Illegal Invasion of Our Allies
