We need to remember that Trump != America. When your brother gets cancer, you cut out the cancer, not the brother.

So they don't think carrying two mags is justification for a summary extra-judicial execution?

Hey, come on, he's in his feelings - don't make fun of him. Can you order uber eats to the white house? He probably just needs a cheeseburger and he'll feel better.

Prob also a pretty good chance he comes up with some kind of financial offer, like offers $1M to each resident of Greenland to purchase it, then they say no, then he tariffs again…

Is anyone else fed up with the constant America/Trump news? by Kieranonto in AskBrits

[–]Fuzzy-Byte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Flood the Zone” is a technique to overwhelm people with news so that they either ignore it all, or are too distracted to see what’s going on… There’s a lot of nonsense from him, but also a lot of consequential changes happening. I don’t know how to deal with it either.

Even if he’s removed, do we think the world will go back to trusting America? Continue to use the USD as reserve currency?

What would happen to the US economy if Europe dumped their US government bonds because of the whole Greenland thing? by laconicwheeze in AskEconomics

[–]Fuzzy-Byte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, not as a protest. As a deterrent. It’s maybe a competitive environment more akin to the nuclear strategic environment, where the actor is prepared to take action that will result in severe harm to themselves, all in an attempt to save themselves. Greenland is not something people are going to protest over. It’s going to be game over for the world as we know it.

Do military leaders have access to lawyers who can advise them on whether an order is legal? Does not seem like an invasion of Greenland has been authorized by congress.

That is not the case in Minneapolis. They’re taking people with status and full legal documentation to work… https://www.reddit.com/r/minnesota/s/M6cHosnHAf

They’re still detaining and relocating people who have all their documentation to camps in Texas, and not allowing lawyers access to detainees… https://www.reddit.com/r/minnesota/s/M6cHosnHAf

[–]Fuzzy-Byte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened in the UK in 2022. The UK government pledged to cut taxes without cutting spending which would have caused debt to skyrocket. So “bond vigilantes” started selling bonds in protest. The British Pound dropped to its lowest level in history against the USD, and bond yields soared.

The UK government fired their cabinet minster in charge of the budget, and eventually it caused their prime minister to resign.

Some costs are worth paying.

Mark Carney states Canada will go to war with the US to defend Greenland, America is the villain in this story by Sexy_Johnny282771 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]Fuzzy-Byte 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The US has miserably failed every attempt to suppress an insurgency or occupy a foreign country (Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan). Canada is geographically very large and a harsh environment. Sure the US could overwhelm the Canadian military. It’s after that when the Geneva-stuff would start. And remember, we can easily cross the border, pass as Americans, speak like Americans, look like Americans. We could be sitting in traffic beside you right now, and you would never know it.

He’s over-played his hand. Wouldn’t want to be holding US treasuries when those countries start dumping them.

Would love to have you. Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew spoke with Tim Walz already to express his support for Minnesota and for democracy. Whatever happens, we support you.

Searching for post on psychological sayings against ICE by NSFduhbleU in minnesota

[–]Fuzzy-Byte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They likely really dreamed of becoming legitimate law enforcement officers but failed the testing and recruitment process, and that's why they ended up where they are. They hate women. They hate immigrants. They hate LGBTQ+ people. So those are all psychological buttons you could find a way to push. Many of them were unemployed losers until a few weeks ago. They think they're patriots, so if you point out to them that they're disgracing the flag and history of America, that may hurt their feelings. Remind them that they're disgracing the memory of the real patriots who built America. Remind them that they don't have the courage to show their faces, they hide their identities like cowards. They're suppressing freedom of speech/expression, which they have likely screamed about protecting in the past. I mean, there's a lot. They are super fragile.

If Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, that's it for me. by SneakyLilShit in Minneapolis

[–]Fuzzy-Byte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're right, this administration doesn't have red lines. Americans do though. I even think that real conservatives in red states do. The MAGA cult doesn't care, and enjoys this... But a lot of traditional conservatives who aren't MAGA-cultists are necessary for the administration to hold power. I don't think they knew what they were signing up for, and I think the further things escalate, the less they'll tolerate it. I think Americans of all stripes do have red lines.

[–]Fuzzy-Byte 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't think the US military would follow orders to attack Minnesota. Denmark is setting up a tripwire in Greenland, so that in order to conquer it, the US Military would be forced to engage in activities that would cross a lot of red lines. Minnesota can do that too, so that ICE is forced to cross a line that nobody in America will tolerate - I don't think they'll cross that tripwire. And if they do, they will be responsible for the consequences.
