not a single representative from Western Europe or North America attended Trump’s “peace board” signing. Representatives from the G7 were conspicuously absent, as were the original BRICS countries, and most of the G20. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Neyanhu wanted to be there but couldn’t because he’s wanted by the International Criminal Court for alleged war crimes, the Financial Times reported. Israeli President Isaac Herzog was in Davos but skipped the ceremony…

    Because they know he’s a joke and that’s all he’ll ever be.

    Hey asshole, you wanted to be president because you thought it would get you world respect? Everyone knows what you really are. Your “money” and infantile understandings in how the world works, much less, this country works does not get you respect, you pedophile.

        And it worked perfectly. Even if imprisoned today, he’s got like… weeks of life left in him? Hell, he’s already on borrowed time but Satan is keeping him alive because he’s such a useful idiot.

          Don’t underestimate the staying power of the nastiest people on the planet.

          Dick Cheney was a bitchass genocidal motherfucker and even he still made it to 84 after going through like 2 hearts. That stupid cunt refused to die, fueled by pure hatred.

    The way this is phrased would be fucking hilarious if it wasn’t the tragic reality. They’re saying it like it’s “I’d love to come to your barbecue but I can’t because I have to work that day!”

    “Sorry, bro, I’m wanted by the ICC for war crimes.”

    Glad these guys are showing this douchebag how it’s done.

    Too bad we have so little of this domestically.

    Keep it up. The way to deal with a narcissist of this clowns caliber is to ridicule and mock and to not EVER cave. Let him see how much everyone disposes him. He can’t handle it. This is an idiot who has a personal assistant who literals PRINTS OUT good news of him to read. How fucking pathetic and weak is that!

      I’m just repeating what I read other places, but I understand the US already had extensive rights to set up military bases and Trump did what he always does which is light a bridge on fire to get what he already had or worse.

        Oh sure. If the US State Department or Joint Chiefs had gone to NATO through normal channels, this wouldn’t be news. I doubt anyone would even know we were expanding our military footprint in Greenland. Now its this enormous pain point for Denmark, for NATO, and for the US Pentagon.

        But the idea that Trump has somehow lost clout is predicated on the notion that the other NATO states had grown a spine. Turns out they were even less serious about defending Greenland than Trump was about invading it. As an opportunity to call Europe’s bluff, this really was a win. Trump got to announce “I’m going to do what I want and you won’t stop me” and confirm the rest of NATO would not stop him.

            Bully says “I’m going to push you down and steal your lunch money.”

            Kid says “If you do, I’m going to call the teacher.”

            Bully: “Teacher won’t care”

            Kid: “Teacher!”

            Teacher: distantly “Don’t fight, you two.”

            Bully: “See?”

            Kid: hands over lunch money

              There was no lunch money handed over.

              What actually happened:

              Trump: “I’m going to attack a NATO country”

              NATO: “You shouldn’t do that”

              Trump goes golfing.

              You: “4D chess!!!”

                  The US bases are already sovereign territory, but sure, it’s great if Trump can be satisfied with getting what he already had. Apparently all it took was for a grown up person to explain it to him.

                  There’s a reason why we’re allies. We allow shit.

                  Greenland being like: “You can sleep on my couch any time buddy.”

                  Trump is like “Don’t call me buddy, I demand ownership of the couch, and I will fight you for it!”

                  Greenland “Calm the fuck down, the couch is your’s to sleep on already.”

                  Vance just staring at the couch.

      Doesn’t sound like it, seems the only one rambling about that is the confused elder who’s unsure whether it’s iceland or greenland he wants.

      “Based upon a very productive meeting that I have had with the Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutte, we have formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland,” he said.

      He did not give details, but said talks would continue to reach the deal.

      Rutte, for his part, said he had not discussed the key issue of Danish sovereignty over Greenland in his meeting with Trump.

    His best friends all have really good excuses.
