Not to brag or anything but as you can see in the first 10 seconds of the video, I've figured out how to make things appear on screen. Singapore! Malaysia! Books! But if you're like me and you prefer listening to podcasts rather than watching them, you can also find the podcast on Spotify and Apple

And when we do, we should probably let them know that all our economies will go up in flames if they go through with it

We can't beat the United States, but Trump isn't invulnerable. Our least bad option are sane(ish) Republicans unwilling to kill 200 or 300 or 400 allied soldiers to conquer Nuuk. Those are the people we should be talking to right now

I've always said we need to flatter Trump to buy time & support for Ukraine but at some point we have to stand up for ourselves and try to deter him. But yes if he goes through with it anyway and his coalition doesn't fracture, we're not going to wage war against the United States. It is what it is

Is this a terrible option? Yes, all of this is completely insane. It might be that Trump goes through dead Danes to take over Greenland and Republicans are fine with it. I think they would break, but who even knows at this point. Anything could happen
