Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Europe is Russia's domain, The Americas is Trump's, Southeast Asia is Xi.

if you aren't at the table , you're on the menu

Europe is going to be a nuclear wasteland, unlike the other two, Russia doesnt have the numbers or equipment for any more war, and they're also facing against the nuclear armed NATO forces.

North America will be a wasteland of warlord states as America dissolves into civil war, and odds are, China will sit back, do nothing, and win everything by being the only seat left at the table.

Wouldn't surprise me. They want nukes to protect themselves from Russian invasion, and that's probably making Vlad a little nervous.

I legit think Trump has Greenland and Iceland confused. Does he realize it's just ice and snow?

Greenland’s strategic location in the Arctic is vital for national security, offering control over emerging shipping routes and proximity to the GIUK gap, a critical maritime chokepoint.

Same thing applies to Panama Canal and Canada, which he is speaking about seizing/annexing

And when climate change melts all the ice the land remaining over sea level has some nice natural resources.

Sure, Jan, just like the summer heat was gonna kill Covid

I think you all took the bait. Now, while they dismantle free speech and complete the police state, you will still be reporting about the completely bat shit crazy and unrealistic Greenland bullshit. Good job.

The sad thing is that it's too abstract. A police state often leads to foreign invasions, but until that happens people in the foreign nations mostly can't be arsed.

Two things can be true at the same time, and it can all run cover for each other.

Think all you want, basically.
