“Who in the United States of America wants a war between the United States and Europe … over GREENLAND??”
I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.
Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

Tim Walz has his National Guard troops on high alert. California, New York, Colorado, all the blue states need to call on their troops, & gut the rat bastards who are killing innocent people. All citizens should gather with them. We have to start fighting back or this will progressively get worse.
Tim Walz is not playing. This was a heinous murder by ICE. Every law enforcement official I talked to today was shocked by the heinous killing ICE did today of an unarmed woman in a car
It looks like Tim Walz is not playing.
"I've issued a warning order to prepare the Minnesota National Guard… these National Guard troops are our National Guard troops. Minnesota will not allow our community to be used as a prop in a national political fight."

I heard that Tim Walz referred to the regime’s “propaganda” and it was the first time all year that I’ve heard someone NAME this reality rather than calling it “bat shit crazy” or some other colloquialism.

Stop calling them ICE agents. They’re not actual law enforcement. They are thugs-for-hire recruited from the Proud Boys, J6ers, and others. They are violent predators given the freedom to run wild against the people they have demonized. Every one of them must be brought to justice when this is over.

Major US cities are experiencing outbreaks of violence caused by armed gang members. These thugs are masked and dangerous. They attack and kidnap people off the streets and at their places of work. The group should be designated as a domestic terrorist organization. They call themselves ICE.
