However, I still think the EU and Canada should move some troops there just to show they are serious about killing American troops if Trump decides to invade.

3. The EU is no different than Congressional Magats, they fear Krasnov.

The EU response to the invasion of Venezuela was pathetic, especially Germany and France. No one stands up to Krasnov.

I wish the EU and Canada would do as you suggest but I see no signs that will happen.

There is no new Donroe Doctrine, Krasnov is the most hawkish president we have ever had, he put Shrub/Cheney to shame, the Republicans have always been neocons.

Who else has bombed 6 countries in his first year in office. Bush/Cheney, Obama, Biden, never bombed Iran, Krasnov did and he is emboldened by Venezuela and is talking regime change in Iran.

I first believed that talk of taking Greenland was bluster, I don't believe that anymore.

The UN Security Council just made a big mistake by not loudly condemning the US invasion of Venezuela. Hey Denmark, you may be next, right after Iran.

4. Nope. Many said Venezuela was just a distraction, as well.

Just saaying.

Also, flying under the radar, VP Rodriguez took a plane to Russia while Maduro was being kidnapped.

Someone in Maduro's inner circle sold him out, why not Rodriguez?

Putin wants Greenland.
And so does Trump.

Something there they want in addition to strategic location.

Also proves they are the bosses of the world.

And of course Maduro was sold out.

at Trump to snatch it, encouraging him, breaks NATO for him.

Then maybe he could blackmail T to hand it over!

Not a top priority, but it's definitely on Trump's wish list.

His entire 2nd term so far feels like a distraction-a-day

Sending ICE to major cities, blowing up the East Wing, kidnapping a sovereign leader

Instead:

DOGE fail
Tariffs - where are those rebate checks?
No beautiful healthcare plan
No cheap groceries
No Epstein files
