Speaking to reporters less than two weeks before he takes office on Jan. 20 and as a delegation of aides and advisers that includes his son Donald Trump Jr. is in Greenland, Trump left open the use of the American military to secure both territories.
“I’m not going to commit to that,” he said, when asked if he would rule out the use of the military. “It might be that you’ll have to do something. The Panama Canal is vital to our country.” He added, “We need Greenland for national security purposes.” Greenland is an autonomous territory of Denmark, a longtime U.S. ally and a founding member of NATO.
The orange asshole is willing to start WW3 over Greenland and the Panama Canal.
Awesome. :/
Ww3 already started 3 years ago when russia started shooting at Ukraine.
People just don’t believe ww3 is anything other than nukes falling. So global conflict with clear lines drawn * withoutb atomic booms . Many people thibk is just bauiness as usual
*(until America decides to switch sides that is).
It’s just the second cold war. You’ll know WW3 started when NATO invokes Article 5. Until then, it’s all just proxies.
In the first cold war there were proxy wars in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, etc. Now it’s Ukraine and Israel/Syria/Lebanon.
I’d say that a proxy war that penetrates onto Russian territory (Kursk Oblast) and borders EU countries is a little hotter than Afghanistan.
Sure, but we aren’t quite at Cuban missile crisis levels of heat either.
by that logic, it started in 2001 then, when NATO invoked article 5.
I’m soooo sorry I didn’t specify that it would need to be invoked against a significant nation-state and that a concept like terrorism doesn’t count. I understand that could be very confusing otherwise.
Then according to that logic all of the Cold War was WW3 because at this point it’s still just a couple of proxy wars going on. No great/super powers are in direct conflict with each other.
Call me when China and Russia decide to team up and attack Boston.
we are essentially fighting the same conflict as world war 2. the only difference is people forget WW2 wasn’t a 2 way conflict, it was a 3 way one.
Democratic Allies, Vs Fascist Axis, Vs Communist Comintern
the only thing that’s changed in 80 years is the second and third teams more or less merged into one.
