Watch out, Greenland (and Denmark!)

Ken will do a wonderful job in representing the interests of the United States. Thank you Ken, and congratulations!
Watch out, Panama!
Donald Trump suggested Sunday that his new administration could try to regain control of the Panama Canal that the United States “foolishly” ceded to its Central American ally, contending that shippers are charged “ridiculous” fees to pass through the vital transportation channel linking the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Panama’s conservative president José Raúl Mulino, who was elected in May on a pro-business platform, roundly rejected that notion as an affront to his country’s sovereignty.
He is inspired by Putin, and wants to launch a few militaristic adventures. To start with, he’s selecting easy targets — it won’t take many troops to overwhelm Greenland, but Panama might be a little harder, given that we have plenty of bombs, but bombs disrupt traffic. The aftermath, when the entire world mistrusts us, might be much tougher. Let’s hope that congress and the courts (yeah, right) can check his bloody ambitions.
You know, the UK has managed to isolate itself from the rest of Europe, making itself vulnerable…
reverse colonize england! america must invade the UK now! we’re earth-lings and we should blow up earth-things.
But but but…the MAGAturds and the “leftist” tankies said Trump would end all the wars! Are you saying he was full of shit and so were they? Inconceivable!
My guess is that he’ll also want to reopen the dispute between the USA and UK settled by the Oregon Treaty of 1846. The map at the link shows that the “extreme US claim” would almost link the contiguous 48 states with Alaska. Trump’s “jokes” about annexing Canada are the first stage in normalising the idea of grabbing parts of that country.
One of the objections to describing today’s far right as “fascist” has been that most current far right movements don’t demand territorial expansion, but instead focus on excluding new immigrants and (usually less loudly) deporting existing ones and their descendants. But we see in the cases of Russia and Israel that this has already changed, and Trump appears to be preparing to follow their example.
Colonise us?
OK, then we will build you not just the one wall that you promised yourselves, but TWO. Hadrian’s Wall and Offa’s Dyke. And one extra bonus wall* down the middle of La Manche.
* Made of jet skis.

(Having second thoughts now?)
In the case of the UK, President Musk will probably just buy the place rather than bother with that military stuff. He’s threatening to give our political turd-goblin 100 million so his company can outspend all the UK political parties combined by an order of magnitude.
Reform (Party) UK LLC is a private company rather than a political party with 9 of its 15 shares held by the goblin – this sidesteps a load of laws regarding political donations. The law has yet to catch up with this piece of chicanery and combined with the media power of Murdoch the less than 0.025% of Musk’s wealth this represents should be more than sufficient to buy the next UK election. (Incidentally, since being elected the turd-goblin has spent more time at Mar-a-largo than in the constituency he nominally represents).
(Note to self: write to my MP and book woodworking course).
Trump’s mentally arrested development is exemplified by his hatred of Jimmy Carter and the decisions of the 1970s. Next, Trump will show that he is in touch with the zeitgeist of America by ordering MAGA to buy bell-bottom pants he will import from China. 🤣🤣🤣
Cognitive decline?
He has claimed he often goes without sleep, which goes a long way to explain his errstic conduct, especially when you factor in he is even dumber than Boris Johnson. No brain-power margin.
@ ^ bruce85283 : Which of course they then will.. Becoz, cults, cult leaders, Kool aide drinking and consequences.
Pity about everyone not in the Trump kult that they’ll be bringing down with them.
Which is only .. (checks ) our whole planet.
