Tell them how to make gunpowder.

That right here is all you need. If you can actually forge a gun and show them how to make gunpowder, you don't need anything else. Although even then you would probably be executed shortly after for being a threat to the nobility.

Let me cook you something AMAZING!

First I need some curry...uh...okay, do you have salt? WHAT?

Alright, where is the oven? Time to prepare you some amazing lasagna! Where do you keep your noodles? No noodles? I guess I can hack it with potatoes.

...PO-TA-TOES! YOU...WHAT???

Okay nevermind, let me show you why you need to stop spending all your money on survival in warfare and instead fund my school! I can teach you to...uh...tell you about things we have in the future. No, I don't know how to create any of that. But trust me bro, just give me money. No need to tie me to your trebuchet like that, I'm sure I can remember how to build an airplane somehowAHHHHHHHHHH

You tried.

Edit: But don't worry, your myriads of novel diseases in your body will pretty much wipe out the continent you spawned on. Revenge!

Ah, here is step one. The "Mutter der Nation" medal for women having 5+ children.

Next stop: Lebensborn projects where women are forced to get impregnated by real american patriots (tm)

Have seen euromaidanpress articles before, I think they're legit if not a bit sensationalist and obviously very pro-Ukraine.

And of course Russia blames a smoooooking incident. There's this one Russian guy who just smokes everywhere he shouldn't. Munition storages, aviation bases, flagship Moskva...

Worse, they want not just Ukraine but Europe to actively lose. The destruction of the EU is the goal.

Fun fact, we didn't use to need that. Which is why millennials typically don't use /s outside Reddit. 90's and early 2000s forum culture required everyone to use common sense, a concept now entirely ethereal to zoomers. Back in my day...

I guess if the people of Greenland accept a measly 10k soon to be worthless USD in exchange to join a dying empire, they deserve to be part of that empire. Maybe Trump is actually smart and this is a hidden IQ test.

There is a shipping route opening up that would enable Asian-Europen-American trade via a about 2/3 shorter route than currently possible. It would make any route through the Suez canals or around Africa pointless. This might not sound important right now, but it would fundamentally change the fortunes of countries and reshape the world.

And...then?

  1. Greenland still belongs to Denmark even if you give 99999999 gazillion to each Greenlander

  2. I don't think anyone in Greenland is dumb enough to sell out their country for 10k to then live in a country where you will pay out of your ass in taxes, handing those 10k right back to the IRS in 5 years tops.

  3. Greenlanders would have to call themselves "Americans" henceforth, which is considered an insult and lower class of civilization world-wide.

A better example for a straw man argument would be OPs picture, as it essentially proclaims "all lonely males are just shit people and it's their fault!".

Thanks for typing out the percentages, so far I've only seen emotional news reports about it without any detailed info.

Are these tariffs on ALL goods from a certain country? Eg, does 34% on China mean 34% on ALL Chinese goods or just certain ones like cars?

Well, one of two things will happen now.

  • The US economy will recede by roughly 30% over the coming years (classified by economists as "catastrophic collapse")

  • It will turn out that trade was "fake and gay" all along and autarky is the way to go, despite centuries of historic lessons to the contrary.

Take your pick.

If you use anything but TOR together with spoofed VPNs for "activism" against a government that would jail/kill you, you are being reckless.

If you use X for your activism, you're not an activist you're a fed honeypot.
