US attempt to acquire Greenland

[RandomOne]

You saying you need the puny Canadians to save you?

Pretty sure boots will be put on the ground if a real attempt is made. But we'll see. Our military alone can't stop anything the US military wants to do.

I don't think you guys understand how you not holding your government accountable affects the rest of the world. Yall let a convicted criminal, racist and suspected pedophile in office as president and now yall just sitting around watching chaos unfold waiting for the other party thats been fucking you over to do something about it.

A lot of tough talk and bravado from Americans for the longest now yall sitting on your hands as a modern day gestapo runs around terrorizing citizens while trump simultaneously plans to annex countries in the region. All while sanitizing himself and his friends from the Epstein files.

Look at whiteboy hitting lol. White people like you are complicit @RandomOne

Yall need to fix up down there.

Realistically no one could stop us. We'd hope we'd stop ourselves but we have an idiot in charge sadly

Tell people to vote. Get on couchgang for being dunces

Why's it gotta be "look at the whiteboy." I was laughing at the post because it was funny. Are you feeling some type of way because of the other thread?

 

[OmarWasRight]

Do I have to declare in all 100 trump threads that I disagree with what he's doing?

Do u need one more post from me when there will be pages and pages already saying the same thing?

Rhetorical questions.

This is a real one tho that i'd appreciate a response from

Do u think America has successfully carried out and enforced global imperialism singlehandedly by Republican hands and Dems are just idly sitting by clutching their pearls?

Single handily no. Majority yes.

Since 9/11 wars were started by Republican leadership.

What is the Democrat version of what Trump is talking about the Greenland?

Has nothing to do with you wanting to watch porn. Im being deadass about this topic and I dont find anything funny about it. People are being abducted unjustly, killed unjustly and the longer yall let it continue the more blood will be spilled. All you mfs that want to sit back and make jokes hoping someone else fixes the problems... that blood is on your hands too, not just the dumb maga fucks that voted for him.

Fix up.

I didn't ask who started more wars but even going by just that metric u are disingenuous by only going back 20 years

That's fair. Americans as a whole put the idiot in charge even after everything

 

[BlackRain]

We need some pushback from

Yall better stick up for Greenland

Let Trump get hands on Greenland yall already know whats next

You didn’t state how far we are going back. Bring your question over to the Dem contradiction thread. I will expand on my answer in the Dem contradiction thread.

I wasn’t trying to distract from the topic of this thread by going deep into the history of American Imperialism.

Care to answer my question, What is the Democrat version of what Trump is talking about with a Greenland?

James Polk 1845 - invaded Mexico and took territories under "manifest destiny"

Woodrow Wilson 1910s:
Veracruz - invasion and occupation
Haiti - invasion and occupation, dissolved their legislature, took control of their finances and imposed a new constitution
Dominican Republic - invasion and occupation

LBJ 1960s - invade and occupy Dominican Republic, regime change and installed a pro u.s. leader

JFK - Bay of pigs in cuba

Clinton - Bosnia and Kosovo, air strikes and occupation without UN approval

Obama's regime change of Libya, initiating intervention in Syria

Truman (democrat) attempted to buy Greenland from Denmark in 1940s

Woodrow Wilson bought the West Indies (Virgin Islands)

For the oldest examples u can make the claim that those parties are not the same as modern day, but it still goes back to my underlying point that this is what America does and literally founded on.

My comment wasn’t to say that America doesn’t have an imperialistic streak. A lot of it was in a different era.

In the context of both sides, we are talking in the majority of folks life time on this forum( 1981 to present).

The majority of long and protracted conflicts were started under republican leadership.

Obama conducted strikes on Libya with Europe-a move he said was his worst decision-

Obama conducted strikes on terrorist in the Middle East. Controversial yes, same time transparent with Congress.

Clinton with the Balkan war was with NATO. That wasn’t a naked land grab by the America in the Balkan-there was ethnic cleansing occuring-with France

Neither Obama, Clinton or Biden had naked land grabs for resources and territory like this administration.

Dems aren’t actively trying to recreate a world order, alliance and rules America created.

Can we agree that under that drone strikes in the Middle East, intervention with Europe in Libya, intervention in the Balkan with NATO isn’t the same as invading Iraq/Afghanistan’s and drawing up plans to invade a NATO country’s territory?

Lol u wanna ignore before the 80s bc it's a little more convenient. Do u ignore the rest of America's dark history pre 1980?

You are justifying Dems doing things only bc they had more old white people, sometimes from other countries, agreeing with them and putting signatures on papers. So you'd be okay w what trump is doing if congress approved it? Is that what you're saying?

Let's say i agree with your post (I don't). If the Republicans are all this that u say they are and the Dems historically let them fuck up time and time again, why are we still putting enough faith in them to give them votes knowing how weak or incompetent they are? Since u don't believe in their complicity.

Lol

JFK - Bay of pigs in cuba

That was Eisenhower's mess that JFK inherited. When it fell apart they wanted JFK to send in the Air Force and he was like nah fuck that i didnt sign up for this and that decision probably cost him his life.

Anyway, none of your listed examples involved INVADING A MILITARY ALLY because no President has been fucking stupid enough to try that so yes this is uncharted waters no matter how you try to spin it lol

So u draw the line at "allies" then? This is the goal post move?

Lol

You’re crashing out.

I said that America has an imperialistic history which includes prior to 1980.

I said 1981- present, because that’s time frame that covers the ages of when most of us on this forum were born, along with the world was plenty different than when Polk was president making it a bit more applicable to our lives.

Dems are supporting invading Greenland. Republicans just blocked a resolution limiting Trumps war powers in Venezuela too.

So you scenario isn’t applicable here at all.

You're still avoiding the other examples. Polk was a long time ago, the 50s and 60s weren't. You're conveniently closing the window to avoid talking about it.

And yes there are examples under Dem presidents who acted unilaterally without congress approval.

This is a disingenuous conversation.

I’ll quote what I said again for you to read.

I said Polk to be witty.

But including time period when the parties switch is a bit “”disingenuous don’t you think?

Buts let’s expand, do you think the parties were the same in the 50’s and 60’s?
