You slipped the word "only" there just now. That's moving the goalposts.

For the rest, you're just presenting excuses.

Technically it doesnt say that trumo thinks that. But sure whatever make shit up.

It literally shows Trump holding up a map were he has scrawled things with his own pen. You're the one making shit up.

it hasnt tried to colonize or conquer another country for over a hundred years

• 1950s–present: invasion and occupation of Tibet
• 1950s–present: occupation and genocide in Xinjiang
• 1962: land grab during the Sino-Indian War
• 1979: Invasion of Vietnam
• 1980s–present: jingoism in the South China Sea
• 1997–present: steady dismantling of the promised autonomy of Hong Kong
• Near future: Taiwan, likely.

Technically, the meme says Trump thinks that.

That said, LeftyMemes sidebar rule #2: recognize the capitalist nature of China. And when there is capitalism, imperialism soon follows.

Um, Obama is/was not a "leftist".

That's exactly the problem of having to report what a crazy but ridiculously powerful person is saying. If you don't take him seriously and just report that he's just rambling incoherently then you're going to be surprised when he actually uses his immense power. If you present his ramblings as a coherent declaration then you're going to be discredited when he doesn't follow through.

There is no easy answer here. I'm leaning towards the side that takes his sayings at face value because he's too powerful not to.

By the way, it's way less productive to direct your anger towards the journalists trying to make sense of what the madman is saying.

It is not a clickbait title. It is an attempt at explaining to normal people what the crazy boomer with nukes is rambling about.

Trump will not attack Denmark. He will "merely" assert that the existing US base on Greenland is sovereign US territory. It will not be an attack, it will be a "do something bitch".

Weird thing is, he's the only one taking about the anticommunism angle, even the Americans didn't bring it up.

Frankly, even creating a network of citizens with a basic plan about contacting each other and knowing how to mobilize is already extremely important. The CBC article talks a lot about giving people uniforms and guns as if that's paramount. Give me a god damn tuque or a baseball hat for all I care, but give me a brochure with emergency information, a point of contact in the civil defence, opportunities for training in civil defence (first aid, firefighting, rescue, logistics) and a network to coordinate with other citizens in my area. If we need to get fucks like me shooting at invaders, we can rump up shit later. Focus on the basics first.

It isn't voluntary.
