So dumb. Who's in charge when the dust clears? There's your winner.

Hint: It wasn't America. It's never America. We haven't won an armed conflict since WWII. Guerilla Warfare is highly effective against a massive force that can't get out of its own way.

After 20 years, and trillions of dollars, we left Afghanistan, and the Taliban was back in power within hours. What a waste.

Osama Bin laden won 9/11.

And Afghanistan. And Iraq.

Buy Trump's Golden Pass for $5 mill?

"Those who ignore history, are doomed to repeat it" is supposed to be cautionary, but for MAGA, it's a game plan.

Just a reminder that America has not won an armed conflict since WWII, and they have been absolutely savaged by guerilla warfare strategies in multiple conflicts.

Everybody fears the American Military, and they will do a lot of damage when they come to your neighborhood, but ultimately, they can't get out of their own way.

It's important to understand that a VAST majority of Americans are against this, and are going to resist this action strongly. There are even high-ranking MAGAs who are speaking loudly against it.

There is only a tiny number of people who want this, probably less than 5. If they try it, they will have very little support for it. And most of that will dry up quickly when American soldiers start dying for Greenland, which nobody wanted in the first place.

Theil thinks it's cute when he acts all tough. Really turns him on.

Remembering back to Trump 1.0, he visited a wounded soldier in the hospital, and admired his Purple Heart, and the MAGA-struck moron (maybe he was medicated) offered it to Trump, who actually took it, saying "I've always wanted one of these."

If you wanted one, go get yourself a traumatic brain injury in a war zone. It would probably improve his cognitive abilities.

He's the kind of person that participation trophies were created for.

Boycott ALL international sports events in America or Russia. They don't deserve the attention or the economic boost.

I live in one of the most popular tourist spots in the world, and I don't know why anyone from any country would visit America right now. It's a big world, go somewhere nice.

That needs to change through legislation. A government that operates on behalf of the people should be prohibiting those sorts of invasive programs for any reason, whether commerce or law enforcement.

And yes, we would hear LOTS of excuses as to why this can't end, but it can end. All we have to is end it, and the corporations and law enforcement will adapt to operating without tech they didn't have only 5-10 years ago, you know like back in the olden days when they couldn't solve any crimes because they couldn't track anybody's phone because all the phones were hanging on the wall in everybody's kitchen? I wonder how they solved crimes back then?

They'll figure it out.
