I am genuinely horrified by Americas reaction to Trumps rhetoric around Canada and Greenland
Maybe I'm just an incredibly nieve European who's not in the know about just how bad things actually have gotten in American politics, but I was honestly expecting these kinds of blatant threats against some of Americas biggest allies to be met with near universal condemnation. I thought this would be the thing that breaks the spell for even a lot of the more hard-line Trump fans and radicalise the centre against him, and maybe to an extent that has happened but tell me why I'm seeing comment sections on articles and videos genuinely praising these ideas?? People talking about how easy it would be to invade Greenland and how people in Canada and Greenland would welcome an American takeover because "the whole world wants to be American citizens". This is terrifying, this is genuinely fucking horrific. Are we in Europe genuinely about to live in a world with a hostile, expansionist Russia on one side and a belligerent expansionist America on the other?
