Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Iceland:
Can confirm. At least it was in the same speech where he said he wouldn't invide whatever place is on his mash of a mind.
Iceland has fallen to the CHINESE HOAX of GLOBAL WARMING and they don't have enough energy, it's time for the United States of America to LIBERATE them from leftist tyranny! MAKE ICELAND GREAT AGAIN!
He just gave away his next invasion target.
Goddammit I was planning a trip to Iceland. Fuck Trump and those who support him.
DAVOS? I thought you said Davros!
Clearly this is all part of the Dalek Master Plan.
So....when are gonna call it? The guy is clearly losing his mind, right? Like, maybe before we are totally ruined?
So…when are gonna call it?
Like a decade ago? Yet somehow he got re-elected while he was clearly mentally unwell we his handlers gladly take advantage of it.
We are not the “we” with that power.
The difference between his rambling and mark carneys speech is remarkable. I felt better after carneys and, I just laugh after trumps. What a fucking loser.
Seriously. It's like they carted some random old demented man from a care home and threw him on stage.
Someone give him an extra jello and change him already.
USA - the least trustworthy NATO ally, complaining about trusting NATO allies.
Trump is projecting as always. I hope the EU and the world learned how much the USA can be trusted...
Unfortunately, we won't. The EU economy is so tied up to the US that the appeasement will just continue for now. For example Ireland, arguably the most critical European country of Israel, still hasn't implemented BDS laws because the US threatened economic sanctions.
But hopefully Europeans will be more critical the next time the US drags us into some more useless imperial wars on the other side of the world.

Not sure if NATO will be there for them eh? Well, let me think for a bit. What countries have invoked NATO article 5 since the existence of NATO? Hmmm, I need to Google that, must be a looooong list after all those years:
- USA
End of list. Did it work? Yes it worked, NATO countries were there for the US as promised.
Why does he look like the meme where his eyes are also mouths?
Demand an explanation,make him dig himself deeper, because he will never admit to doing anything wrong.
This good idea!
Trump needs to draw a clock...
Didn’t you know, he’s aced like 4 cognitive tests. He doesn’t know that they are actually to test for signs of dementia, His bragging that he passed four of these test are hilarious. that they’re so worried about his medical capacity they keep testing him is the only reason he’s taken 4 tests in such a short time
I saw Jimmy Kimmel take the same test. The one he took looks like the one I tracked down and took online to see what is actually on the test.
Jimmy got 100% on it; when does he get entered into Mensa along with Donvict?
(about 12 minutes in)
The difference also is that it’s Don himself saying he aced them. No credible evidence. We’re taking him at his word and he doesn’t even know it’s a test for dementia
This asshole never watched Mighty Ducks 2.
Seriously, i just remember what the hot chick in that film says to remember which is which.
GREENLAND is covered in ice
And ICELAND... Is very nice uWu
Denmark is so cucked and by association so is the EU. They literally gave the US sovereignty over parts of Greenland after this. It won't stop here. You give an inch and he'll take a mile. This is not how you deal with a bully.
If I was in the EU I'd be freaking out RN.
They gave the US sovereignty of parts of Greenland? I tried searching for news on this but couldn't find anything. What are you referring to?

Nothing has happened and that entire article is wild speculation.
What's your source for this?
Where the sun don't shine.
"Small pockets" are all the USA needs to land troops. They're making a full-scale invasion easier by appeasing him.
Weren't we all there when they "made the call" after 9/11 when we went to war for them?
The only time NATO's article 5 has ever been invoked was by the US asking NATO to defend them against the "terrists".
Article 5 is the one that has:
consider an armed attack against one member state ... to be an armed attack against them all
Maybe it’s always been about Iceland.
Pretty brilliant. Get all the enemy hardware in Greenland, then invade Iceland.
Björk music and volcanoes for everyone.
This was my thought. When he invades Iceland everyone will reference the part of this speech about use of force and realize it only applied to Greenland.
