      Its hard to say.

      He’s known for being a pussy and running away once real opposition shows up (which Europe is doing).

      He’s also known as a liar, rapist, pedophile, conman, dementia riddled piece of shit.

      So only time will tell, unfortunately. The US is totally and utterly fucked no matter what because they won’t remove his ass. NATO with the USA is terminally ill, and every country on Earth would be psychotic to not immediately divest everything from the USA.

      I wonder if the asshole president of Argentina who’s conning American tax payers out of $40 billion USD is immediately converting it to gold the moment it reaches his bank account.

        Don’t forget about the market dropping yesterday. Bet he got a few warnings about open windows and reminders that gravity still exists.

        Even trump has owners and they like when they control the market swings.

      I hope he does. A bunch of Trump loyalists following illegal orders get spanked as they make an attempt to invade. All the Trump loyalists will be court martialed for following illegal orders. Then the U.S. comes to a screeching halt and the markets go red. Republicans get the message from their corporate donors that it’s time to dump Trump. They’ll probably put Vance in charge and then nothing gets done politically as Vance is a bigger pussy than Trump and the GOP won’t know who to follow. Which leaves the DNC to take the remaining falling pieces and sweep the mid terms. Then we are looking at about 10 years of a Democrat and moderate majority making shit worse as they stooge for their corporate donors.

      It’s not like it’ll just come out of nowhere. There was a carrier group parked near Venezuela for months before they kidnapped Maduro.

    Oh, and you can count on Trump to keep a promise, right?

    Anyway, I don’t even see a pledge. I see a dishonest expression of regret:

    “I don’t want to use force. I won’t use force,” Trump said in a speech to government and business leaders in Davos. “Now everyone’s saying, ‘Oh good.’”

    That’s the energy of an abusive partner: “I don’t want to hurt you, but you’re giving me no option here.” It’s how they settle their conscience right before they hurt you.

    As an adult we all make a moral promise not to rape children… well this fuckwad failed miserably at that, what makes you think he isn’t going to rape Greenland? He’s already raping Venezuela and others currently… he’s a pedophile rapist piece of shit.

    Trump is an idiot and most of what you could generously call his “plans” are ploys to get things he wants.

    He seems to want Greenland. He’s been getting appeased on all sides. He’s going to try to take Greenland and even if he’s sincere in this moment, it won’t hold. I am truly worried.

    He should show his pledge by trying a rope to his junk and have a cinderblock on the other end and throw it into the marianas trench

    Did he? Wish I could believe it.

    And I pray to the Flying Spaghetti Monster that European leaders won’t say “Oh, OK, so it’s all good. Sorry about the divisive rhetoric recently.”

    PS: I also believe that he said something like “I won’t invade but we need to talk about how I get Greenland right now!”

    Given how the stock collapsed and is stabilizing back up Trump probably does mean to back off. If there is anything consistent it’s that he backs out when the pay day doesn’t look forthcoming
