    A lot of people need to start going as far as they have to in order to gain control of their country as well.

        In other words:

        Has anyone ever decided to go so far as doing something to look more alike?

        And the answer is yes, interracial couples are leading the charge

    He probably wants direct control of Greenland to cut off Canada from European supply lines when the US starts a land invasion of Canada.

    That man-child is going to prove me wrong. I thought he was just making noise to distract from the other shitty things that he was doing and didn’t actually care about Greenland.

      Trump never jokes, and he’s also pretty much quit lying. Every terrible thing he says is what he genuinely believes and plans to act on.

      The other things are unimaginably terrible, so he has to make really really loud noise to distract.

    Right… so, when is the declaration of war coming? The formal, enabling the EU to go for the guns. If this is to end in bloodshed, let’s get to it. Europeans have been away from guns for nearly 80 years. Let’s see if we remember how to make some noise and things blow apart.

      Only congress can formally declare war, but congress hasn’t even wiped their own ass in 20 years.

      That said, a ‘special military operation’ is of course always a possibility

        To my understanding, it will go the same route, as all EU members are bound to assist each other in case of aggression.

        For what it may concern, I’m expecting at some point to have calls to readiness for military reserve effectives in my country, the way things are going. And my country is pretty much forgotten by everyone.
