Trump's Greenland threats undermine his own efforts to secure a peace deal in Ukraine. Any US security guarantee included in such a deal would be hard to take seriously if he is willing to ignore the security guarantee the US already has with Denmark.

European leaders issued a joint rebuke of President Donald Trump over Greenland, saying the Arctic island “belongs to its people.”
In a statement tied to NATO, leaders said it is for Denmark and Greenland alone to decide its future.

Really stupid question but…. Why are so many people and companies playing to Trumps narcissistic bloated ego? Fake peace prizes, effusive comments, playing to his quid pro quo gangster “deals” and more… More people need to tell him to go straight to Hell and F himself! He is a PRESENT DANGER!

This is batshit crazy.
Trump is imitating Putin yet again by forcefully and unilaterally invading a foreign country in order to outright steal their natural resources.
And doing it not only in violation of international law but also of the United States Constitution.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

So this likely means deploying many thousands of U.S. soldiers to Venezuela. What could possibly go wrong?

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.
It’s about oil and regime change.
And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

News: Gang of Eight in Congress were only notified about Trump's Venezuela operation after it began, source familiar tells me. That means the heads of the Intelligence Committees in Senate and House were *not* consulted. Just crazy.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Tom Cotton is a moron. We can't invade another country and capture its leader based on crimes committed on U.S. soil.
Most of the charges Bondi is bringing, at the direction of Trump, happened on Venezuelan soil, not U.S. soil.
Legally tainted; morally an abomination.

Tom Cotton: "Congress isn't notified when the FBI is going to arrest a drug trafficker or cyber criminal here in the US, nor should Congress be notified when the executive branch is executing arrests on indicted persons. And that's really what you can make the analogy to here."

How about we say the quiet part out loud?! Trump is doing this war shit to deflect from the Epstein Files because he’s probably going to be outed as a VERY EVIL PERSON and we cannot take our eye off that. IF Trump was engaged in Epstein’s creepy stuff, that could crush him so c’mon; rip the bandaid!
