Had a planned fun post I had worked on in my head a bit of a review of a book I read and a series I'm watching.

And then this news was posted on Tumblr and WTF

Why is it a Floridian? As a Floridian my state is beautiful, our coastlines are gorgeous but everyone of our politicians should be thrown into the sun.

What the fuck is this obsession with Greenland?

Why do you want to risk world war 3 only we'll be with Russia and be the bad side?

Hopefully it's a bill that doesn't pass but so many Republicans have no spine and no brain.

I'm going to go insane.

A synagogue in Jackson Mississippi was burnt down this weekend. Antisemitism is on the rise. Our country is throwing people into camps sometimes even citizens, Ice is killing civilians and so much of the world feels like it's on the edge of war.

Have enough of our vets died that we've forgotten the high cost of war?

Then you have the bravery of the Iranians. I hope they endure and defeat their own government.

But seriously why Greenland? Why pick a fight with our allies? We can already build a base on Greenland without needing to own it.

I just.

I believe I saw something about Greenland having a lot of rare metals, so it's probably the same core reason as Venezuela: Greed.

I really, really, really do not want to be on the verge of WWIII right now 😭 Ideally, I'd like that to happen approximately never!

[dani_meows]

That makes sense. Greed probably governs every action they take.

I don't either. I'd like world war 3 to never happen and for it to be said in the future that humans learned after two world wars that diplomacy is a much better answer than war.

I agree with so much of what you said. Um, Greenland? Why? Really, DJ, why?

[dani_meows]

The commenter above mentioned Greenland has rare metals so that's probably why.

But I really don't understand any of his choices

Sometimes I think it's just because he can and a sense of entitlement to the resources of the rest of the world.

I'm glad that a lot of people in high places are realizing what nonsense this is. But still, The Screaming Cheeto is going off the deep end and it's frightening.
