Some stupid shit like they’d already submitted a flat design to fab when they find out that certain work trucks actually have a center horn mounted to the top of the cab that brings the height from 5 meters to 5.25 meters so they cut in a gap, add some bends and weld the letters back on.

The real problem with Greenland is it being worth taking back. It has a population of 50k. The biggest town has a population smaller than all but the most rural towns in most countries. The expenditure of untold quantities of money and unknown numbers of lives to re-take it is going to be hard to swallow for most of NATO.

Please tell me the soldiers there call it “Pity Fuck”

I’m not doubting you in the least based on how successful this was but would be highly interested in reading a source for that

Was watching bombs exploding in Venezuela while the helicopters flew in, basically live, with my girlfriend. And she’s like, “Holy Shit we’re invading Venezuela!” And I just told her, “…nah, whatever we’re doing isn’t that serious.”

She asked how I knew and I told her “look at the lights in the city. They’re still on. And these videos are being uploaded over the Internet. And there are explosions but relatively few. That’s not how the US does war. If we were invading we’d have hit energy infrastructure and telecommunications first, and all at once. So this is probably just us taking out anti-air batteries and maybe a few military assets. So it’s something else.”

(Please don’t interpret this as minimizing how ridiculously illegal or pointless this was, because it’s definitely both. It was just my reaction at the time.)

They also act like US Corporations wouldn’t get a really good deal if they wanted to purchase the rights to extract some of the mineral wealth of Greenland to extract.

I’ve been saying since I was in highschool that Shakespeare should probably be an elective in college, except for maybe Julius Caesar in AP Literature classes. It’s just so far out of date and the teachers aren’t allowed to explain what any of the slang means so it’s just… soulless. If they were able to explain how filthy it is, the kids would probably enjoy it more.

Especially Canada. Could you imagine trying to secure the world’s largest land border, when it’s so easy for partisans to blend in and pass as locals? The terrorism would be off the charts. Especially if the Canadian government starts giving people access to military explosives and arms?

I don’t even know what oil profits there will be. It’ll cost tens of billions to refurbish the Venezuelan oil industry and while their oil reserves are massive, they’re also extremely low quality and cost more to refine. And to what end? The US is a net oil exporter. Flooding the market with cheap Venezuelan oil will just crash the price and fuck up the domestic oil market.

Which I guess is the point, if the goal is to ultimately internally destabilize the US to allow tech bro feudalism to take over?

They hated him because he told the truth

It’s often said that Democrats today are Republicans of the 90’s/00’s, and this is further proof of that on top of the reasons you mentioned.
