Make Americas Great Again... by bombing them.
And, will NATO have to invoke Article 5 against an expansionist US when we go after Greenland? (That used to be a question only a crazy person would ask.)

From the wise Timothy Snyder:
"Trump is weak at home, and he can be stopped -- so long as the domestic political logic of foreign intervention is recognized and turned against him. This act of war is more about regime change in the United States than it was about anything in Venezuela."
