Umm... About Trump's Invasion

[trenton]

I don't mean to freak everyone out, but this is very concerning. Don't draw the conclusion that the invasions are happening yet.

Basically, Trump has been talking about invading multiple countries to expand the United States. He is claims he wants to expand the United States to include Canada, Panama, and Greenland. He has also designated the Mexican drug cartels as terrorists, which could lead to the use of military force like it did with other terrorists.

Although many have rejected this and want to ignore these insane claims, the leaders of other nations are taking these threats seriously. For example, the European union fears that Trump may try to take Greenland by force. Countries such as France therefore offered military support to oppose the United States in case of an invasion. Although this idea was rejected, it is part of a pretty bad trend for America on the international stage.

Other countries are taking the threats seriously and our allies are preparing to use military force against us if necessary. This means that the United States might lose the support of the many allies which help make this country as wealthy and powerful as it is. I therefore am concerned about the implications of America's future due to our betrayal of our allies on many levels. I don't know how it would impact my life, so I will have to cross that bridge if it gets there and we become broke and powerless.

Maybe if America falls from global dominance it would ultimately be a good thing for the rest of the globe, but I'm not sure about the calculations that would have to go into making that conclusion. Yes it would hurt me personally, but politics isn't about me, it is about what is good for humanity as a whole. Maybe it means bad things will happen to some countries in the process, even the ones we live in.

Politics isn't about putting America first like Trump and his supporters want. When you take that attitude, you end up screwing America over. The tariffs will raise our prices and the mass deportations is destabilizing our economy. The domestic policy of the Trump administration has been disastrous, but the global implications are not yet seen. I still get the feeling that Trump and his allies and all of their shameless corruption will ultimately lead to horrible consequences.

Trump is already destroying the American economy. Maybe America will collapse before any invasions begin. Only time will tell how bad this will be. Sorry if I sound kind of freaked out, but I have been concerned about politics lately. I don't mean to freak you out either because we need to stay level headed when discussing these possibilities.

What are your thoughts on these developments? Do you think my fears are exaggerated and I should stop it? Do you think I'm exaggerating if I say Trump is the worst President in American history? Should I stop thinking about the implications of Trump's actions as they are far reaching and hard to foresee and predict like these military conflicts? At which point should I be concerned about military conflicts and possible invasions?

I hope the rest of the world can stop us or discourage us enough before it gets that bad.

"America first" politically isn't even about making the US a better country. Its clear that a lot of the policies that Trump promotes actually undermine the country in the long-term and hurt every day citizen. Its really a bid for power and selling off the economy veiled in a veneer of American exceptionalism.

Wanting to control Greenland for instance is primarily about controlling access to the resources there in my opinion without having to deal with for instance annoying pollution rules. The US already has access to using Greenland for military and business purposes without having to pay for the upkeep which Denmark currently does.

@Basman My favourite theory for why Trump wants Greenland so bad is because it looks big on Mercator maps. The guy is dumb enough to make that a key motivation lol

If Trump wants to destroy the US and the relationships with its allies and partners then yea he should invade. But then nobody will come to the USs aid when China and Russia attack or whatever. There will be no incentive for allies and partners to keep things like the petro dollar and buy US products.

@Apparition of Jack my theory for why Trump wants Greenland is because of the radical possibility that Trump actually has the best interest of the world at heart. He believes that America is the greatest evil in the world because of all the countries we exploited and invaded. He realizes that the only way to stop these great evils is by destroying America from within. That is his goal with these invasions as he destroys out relationships with our allies. Although he will go down in history as the worst President ever, he knows that he will have thoroughly exposed the corruption of money in politics and corruption of the presidential powers. Several constitutional amendments will be needed to ensure the fairness of our broken system in the future.

This is my wishful thinking about America's doom. It raises questions about why he didn't do it in the first term, so it probably isn't true. In reality he probably is just extremely selfish.

The US doesn't need any aid from their allies dude, Russia can't annex half of Ukraine, which is one of the most corrupt and poorest countries in Europe IF NOT the poorest right now. You couldn't wage war against the Siberian tigers in far East Russia, never mind Alaska, The NATO alliance was always one-sided, the US never needed any military help from Europe, and the only benefit they got from it was being closer to Russia specifically Moscow, but Trump doesn't see that. China can't invade the US either, they would be at a massive disadvantage, there's a vast ocean between China and Western USA, and China doesn't have the US surrounded by weapons like the US has China. China is surrounded equivalently to China having Military bases in North West Africa, Mexico, and Canada, but they don't. In addition, China hasn't been militarily involved in anything for fucking years, the USA has.

The US is like a 2-meter bully in Middle school, with an imploding bomb inside his stomach which is America's current Republican/MAGA movement. The only way to kill the Americans is to nuke them to shreds, not saying anyone should... But they sure are pissing off everyone right now.

Russia won the land lottery, but they won the corruption lottery too which is why it looks like this:
