Watch out, Greenland (and Denmark!)
| am pleased to announce Ken Howery as my choice for United States Ambassador to the Kingdom of Denmark. Ken is a World renowned entrepreneur, investor, and public servant, who served our Nation brilliantly during my First Term as U.S. Ambassador to Sweden, where he led efforts to increase Defense, Security, and Economic Cooperation between our Countries. As a Co-Founder of PayPal and venture capital fund, Founders Fund, Ken turned American Innovation and Tech leadership into Global success stories, and that experiencegy will be invaluable in representing us abroac#or purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity. 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.
From Shaw’s the Apple Cart. Mr Vanhattan is the American Ambassador and Magnus is the KIng of England.
“MAGNUS [starting from his chair] You dont mean to say–
VANHATTAN [rising also, blandly triumphant] I do, sir. The Declaration of Independence is cancelled. The treaties which endorsed it are torn up. We have decided to rejoin the British Empire. We shall of course enjoy Dominion Home Rule under the Presidency of Mr Bossfield. I shall revisit you here shortly, not as the Ambassador of a foreign power, but as High Commissioner for the greatest of your dominions, and your very loyal and devoted subject, sir.
MAGNUS [collapsing into his chair] The devil you will! [He stares haggardly into futurity, now for the first time utterly at a loss].”
So Britain becomes subordinate to the United States
