Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

KEY POINTS

Sen. Ruben Gallego, an Arizona Democrat, said he will introduce a resolution to block Donald Trump from invading Greenland, a self-governing Danish territory.

Concerns about U.S. action against Greenland have grown on the heels of the attack on Venezuela, which led to the capture of leader Nicolas Maduro.

“Everybody wants us to have a bigger presence in Greenland to combat the Russian/Chinese Arctic influence,” Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said.

Resolution is passed. US can't invade Greenland. US invade Denmark. Checkmate (and world war, probably)

Yeah we didn't invade Greenland. We invaded Denmark. Check mate!

Useless.

I hope EU actually fights back when it happens.

Like how people care so much more about his threats to "European territory" then his threats to Latin America really shows the bipartisan and international Western imperialism.

Take Ukraine and Palestine.

Palestinians face an ongoing genocide and European states just kind of mumbled about things when challenged on it.

Ukraine gets invaded and Europe is all over it.

Yep its not states in this example but events like FIFA and others banned Russia but refuse to do similar to Israel because they are "beyond politics" except they obviously aren't.

"Resolution? We don't need no stinking Resolution!"

[–] Gladaed@feddit.org 1 points 4 days ago

This is just pointless posturing. The Senate is blocked by design. Also in the world order perpetrated by china, Russia etc. Trump is "right" for might makes right.

Denounciations are useless. Only enshrining order and alliances as well as willingness to lead war for it may help.
