At his inauguration, US President Donald Trump promised to "expand our territory", invoked the colonialist "Manifest Destiny", and vowed to take over the Panama Canal (falsely claiming China runs it).
An infantile idiot who talks and behaves like a 4 year old!! Beyond comprehension that half the US population view this undeveloped bully as their messiah and as an "anti-elite rebel who came to save the little guy from tne deep state".
People are literally living in alternate realities, herded by the wealth class into social media enclosures (echo-chambers/reality-filters) where public sentiment is being manufactured.
Strongly agree that his predecessors were also horrible, but strongly disagree that he is "far better". If there's an interest to know why i say this, then please carefully read the following
IMHO there seems to be a profound misunderstanding and ignorance about the nature of the two factions of the elite who are fighting among themselves for domination over humanity and the planet's resources. The links i provided above offer a very insightful and eye-opening essays that break down exactly the nature of the two elite factions that were competing in the billionaire's sham "elections". In my view these are some of the most important essays published in recent times for anyone who wishes to understand what is actually happening in the west today, the internal struggle within the elite between the two factions of the ruling class, the two faces of oligarchy fighting among themselves for supremacy (who will be the elite group who will be the top dog, plunder the planet and dominate humanity), which is what this billionaire's sham "elections" was all about.
These are turnkey agreements for military occupation of these countries by the US. Just waiting to be activated.
On top of that these countries are quietly preparing or proposing “state of emergency” laws that include forced labour of all citizens from age 18-72, elimination of property and labour rights etc. basically the kind of dictatorship that Ukrainians currently are subject to, while they are used as sacrificial pawns in a sick power game.
People had better wake up to what is going on and has been going on for a long time: the US is attempting to colonise a lot of the world. This is huge, it’s dangerous and it ain’t about “Trump” alone.
A major point that you left out Ben, is that though Team Trump is happy for him to deny it, they know all about what the burning of fossil fuels is doing to the Artic, ie melting it and opening up trade routes as well as making access to minerals easier. It's not 'because' of China and Russia per se that Trump wants to buy Greenland it is because everyone wants access as the planet warms. Team Trump also know about peak oil and are adding other energy sources to their portfolio (there is no energy transition, only an energy addition) but are happy to let everyone keep profiting until the crops start failing and the migrations start happening and the billions start dying.
The climate crisis is MIA from fossil fuel and animal ag funded MSM. What's startling is that it's missing from 'independent' alt media too.
Like most American elites, Trump is detached from reality. He appears to have no idea about how much the world has changed since he was last in office.
Yes, America has sufficient power to bully/coerce smaller nations in its sphere. Just 5vyears ago, it could do so pretty much with inpunity.
Not anymore. What Trump is forgetting is that in 2025 - whether he likes it or not - America is no longer a global hegenon.
America is very powerful but so is China and in fact, so is Russia. The geopolitical scene has changed dramatically in just 4-5 years.
Ergo, there is a price that America will pay for its belligerent coercion. There are consequences.
Example - by threatening nations such as Mexico, Panama and Cuba, Trump is driving these nations towards the China/Russia sphere of influence, in particular towards BRICS.
Example - by threatening to annex Greenland (a Danish protectorate), Trump is doubling down on the message to Europe that Biden sent by destroying Nordstream: "we don't card about any of you, Europe doesn't matter". Ergo, European states (in particular Hungary, Slovakia and eventually, Germany) will inevitably look towards the Russia/China sphere, to prosper.
Trump's initial moves visavis Ukraine have also been ridiculous. More sanctions threats, more coercion, combined with this nauseating paternalistic arrogance that Washington DC will simply step in and "solve" the issue, as if Russia is some small child.
It's delusional behaviour. In reality, the US is a major participant in the Ukraine conflict and in my view the prime actor in it - America caused this war. It has behaves disgracefully, allowing millions to die even though it always knew Ukraine couldn't win. Not just that - it's an epic disaster, a strategic defeat of the combined West, with Russia winning hands down. Trump & the US have no leverage here at all. Moscow will just roll its eyes, laugh, and keep driving West.
My point being that Trump is using his 2016 mindset and playbook, to play geopolitics in 2025. It won't work, because the world has changed. The USA has been drained of legitimacy by the Biden regime - it is viewed by the majority of nation states as a malevolent, dangerous & untrustworthy actor without principles or integrity, to be avoided at all costs.
The sooner Trump gets his head around the damage that Biden & his clowns have done, the better. This is a time for America to show some humility and respect towards other nations, combined with sincere apologies for the damage if has caused. Until it does so, it's standing will continue to deteriorate.
So America wants to turn GREENLAND INTO A AMERICAN STYLE TERRITORY SHITHOLE . Invade a SOVEREIGN COUNTRY FOR A RIVER THATS DRYING UP AND WILL BECOME USELESS.
Nicaragua with the help of the Chinese are contemplating to build a Canal System from Caribbean Ocean to the Pacific . Does Panama want to become a TERRITORY OF SHITHOLE AMERICA
Seems he is trying to imitate Putin with Crimea (even similar motives vis a vis Greenland… maritime power) and will use Ukraine invasion as a precedent

A VERY rude awakening in the making.:-(
Agreed, although at least Trump was legitimately elected and he is far better than the illegitimate clownshow he is replacing.

Fair point. "Far better" was wrong wording. I meant that at least Trump is compos mentis. Biden wasn't and his team were total imbeciles.
Don't worry, I agree with you. Trump and his team are dangerous, too.
WOW! So you're another one who doesn't accept losing.
U.S. bases should be thrown out of every country they occupy. Trump is behaving like a modern day Hitler!
RESIST!
Colonisers do what colonisers do. Biden and Obama on the same agenda anyway. Just sneakier.
Go look at the “defence cooperation agreements” that the US has signed in the past 4-5 years with Finland, Sweden and Norway.

Like Dick Cheney, Trump believes in ‘Winning Through Intimidation’.
‘The Art of the Deal’ was for gullible Americans.
He is the face of the Billionaire parasites who intend the greatest transfer of money from the 99percent to the 1percent.
Those pesky indigenous people!

I'm not holding my breath.
There might be a very bitter pill to swallow but...NO EMPIRE HAS LAST FOREVER...and neither will Tsunami Trump.
Trump, Zuckerberg e Musk, os três patetas do neonazismo. Algo deve ser feito para barrá-los ou então...
I understand your comment halfway...Our world seems to be running by the rich and for the rich - others need not apply.
