Watch your mouth, you hypocrite. russia would love nothing more than for Europe to be disunited. You're the one pulling water for the kremlin, not me.
Exactly, and that's what the journalism should focus on. It detracts from the message when they give it a misleading spin. It's already bad enough without the distortion of facts. That's the point I'm trying to make.
From what he actually said, it sounds like talks about a potential decision will begin then. That's not at all what a deadline is.
The way it was reported made it sound like a decision was already made, and actions would be taken by then. That's not at all what he said though.
There's already plenty of legitimate reasons to criticize him, so I can't stand when journalists distort things to make them seem even worse. It gives too much credence to the people defending him by framing all criticism as media spin.
Things are already bad enough without reactionary sensationalism, so just focus on the facts without compromising journalistic integrity. Otherwise it's just disinformation, which doesn't help anyone. We're supposed to be better than this.
Does copy/pasting youtube URLs into VLC still work?
Oh, I see. I was missing some context.
Yeah, Diogenes is very quotable and had some good points, but not exactly someone to emulate...
He added: "We need Greenland from a national security situation. It's so strategic."
The US already has military bases on Greenland in accordance with diplomatic agreements. This isn't about national security or defense strategy. If it were, there would be diplomatic ways to increase US military presence. This risks losing the diplomatic agreements which allow the US to maintain a military presence there. It won't be very strategic if US forces get banished from the realm.
This isn't about national defense. It's about natural resources. Trump wants to exploit Greenland for its rare minerals the same way he wants to exploit Venezuela for its crude oil.
It's so transparent.
Apparently he thinks one month is ten days...
But yeah, calling that a deadline is kinda clickbaity.
Ah yes, because WWII would have totally gone better if the Allies hadn't been unified... /s
When nations are disunited, they can be picked apart one at a time by a hostile force. When they work together to form an alliance, they can present a stronger resistance to deter or repel the enemy's invasion before it even reaches allied territory.
That's why russia hates NATO so much. Putin can't have Europe as long as European nations stand together in a strong defense coalition.
I'm not pretending it's likely that we'll have free and fair elections followed by a peaceful transfer of power, but we're also not in "no chance in hell" territory yet, and it is our most likely option.
If midterms come and go and it becomes obvious that elections were not both free and fair, or if there is no peaceful transfer of power in accordance with the will of the people as expressed by a free and fair election, then the third and fifth sentences of the Declaration of Independence come into effect.
Until that time, or under more favorable conditions, the fourth sentence of the Declaration applies.
Do you disagree with something I said? It's totally fine if you do, but it would contribute more to the discussion if you said what and why
He's giving some serious Hitler vibes. Also, Thrasymachus.
He's also basically saying that if anyone is capable of violently overthrowing the US, then they have a right to do so.
Also, dismissing international treaties as "niceties" comes very close to treason, as he's basically saying to disregard the laws as they were written by constitutional authority.
If legal documents no longer count for anything, then neither does the constitution. That would mean the US government has no legal authority.
It's a dangerously slippery slope, but I think he's lusting for the chaos that would result.
