Trump's comments spur anxieties about his plans for Greenland and Cuba

WASHINGTON (AP) — A day after the audacious U.S. military operation in Venezuela, President Donald Trump on Sunday renewed his calls for an American takeover of the Danish territory of Greenland for the sake of U.S. security interests, while his top diplomat declared the communist government in Cuba is “in a lot of trouble.”

The comments from Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio after the ouster of Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro underscore that the U.S. administration is serious about taking a more expansive role in the Western Hemisphere.

With thinly veiled threats, Trump is rattling hemispheric friends and foes alike, spurring a pointed question around the globe: Who's next?

“We do need Greenland, absolutely,” Trump said in an interview with The Atlantic in which he described the strategically located Arctic island as “surrounded by Russian and Chinese ships.”

Slobfather has his ass kissed by too many of his sycophants if he believes there's support for seizing land from longtime ally.

I say we invade the entire earth. The economy crashing, Armed Forces in our cities, inflation out of control. but Dementia DonOld thinks it's still the 80s when we the only game in town. I don't know what's coming, but our time at the top has ended. We are being run by true Nazis (Miller), oligarchs and morons (Kegsworth, Ice Queen, etc.). The only question is how low we will go.
