Imagine the chaos that would ensue if an outrageous narcissistic asshole were to catch the attention of the news media. Think of the eyes they could attract to advertisements. We should make one President.

The think about fear is that you become magnetized by and hyper-alert to threats. It turns everybody into a conservative.

But who’s side would rest of NATO support if one night he wakes up and orders an attack on Canada?
NATO is a defensive organisation so, theoretically, they should line up behind Canada. Realistically it would be the end of NATO. It would completely fuck up the way the world works on several levels!

Greenland is a big rock.

I think we should ante up with UK and France, give the Greenlandic people their independence and we occupy the rest of the rock. Keep it on European hands.

And then for gods sake lets get that 5% thing rolling... Like yesterday.

Can't exactly ignore him because he's about to become the fucking president again. He isn't just some late night clown show on tv.

When you troll by suggesting that you are going to invade your allies there are serious real world implications.
Your posts made me remember fuzzily a story involving an alternate way to look at threat. I don’t remember the details of the story or how it was told but I remember the altered perspective. It involved I think a military person, maybe a general, who everyone was terrified of because he could order a private to shoot them and an individual who was unmoved by such intimidation. For that person the thing one should fear was the private not the general.

What we consider is reality, how we anticipate disaster is all about the perspectives conditioned into our minds. If you watch an animal like a cat you will notice that they are never frightened by thoughts because they are aware only of what happens in the now. Thought is fear. Thought is memory of feelings evoked by words. Words are how we imagine what does not exist divisions and distinctions we use to divide time and space into pieces. Thought is division into dualities that do not exist. Thought creates time difference and fear. Thought is memory of conditioning. To think is to I’ve in an altered reality of your own creation.

This is why if there is a way to end thought would open the door to the joy of being? What when fear is not present, when one is riding the wave?

Do you see the private anywhere?

So far, Dear Maximum Leader Trump, has so far proposed:

* Securing the Panama Canal for America using military force for security reasons

* Liberating Greenland for its resources

* Annexing Canada 🇨🇦



While none of these countries can stop us, is is right for America to do as we please?
Fuck that shit.

Like what???
What? You really don't think that other countries aren't going to treat a country that just threatened to invade them slightly differently?
I mean I can make you a list of things but it should be pretty obvious.

If the US invades Canada, there's nothing the rest of NATO could do. NATO is heavily dependent on the US for airlift and sea-lift. Not like anything would survive the trip across the Atlantic if they were being hunted by the Navy and AF. The biggest issue for the US would be the protests if he tries anything like this or if the armed forces refuse.

That would be interesting.

Cadet Bonespurs is spewing about Greenland and the Panama Canal so people talk about that instead of Jimmy Carter (how he wasn't a traitor, felon or douchebag) or how the fascist fuck can't do dick about the price of groceries.

Gulf of Mexico renaming? Drill baby drill? Sure, why not, anything to take air away from his upcoming sentencing and impending litany of recess appointments. And if he can blame Joe Biden along the way as he drops these steamers, all the better.
