Wow starving your soldiers in charge of protecting us from sudden national destruction. Starving them in Alaska, in the winter. Smart!

@_L1vY_ Well this is going to be interesting, since Trump claims he can take Greenland the hard way. The accommodation, food, facilities and more that would be required to be transported in daily would be an enormous task. Hopefully the logistics are so challenging it’s not an option: much in the way the oil corporations are not at all interested in Venezuela, despite his claims.

he said he is happy to use nukes
Trump explained in a new interview with the New York Times why he won’t just send more troops to Greenland to fend off foreign threats.
“Why is ownership important here?” asked NYT national security correspondent David E. Sanger.
“Because that’s what I feel is psychologically needed for success,” Trump, 79, replied. “I think that ownership gives you a thing that you can’t do, whether you’re talking about a lease or a treaty. Ownership gives you things and elements that you can’t get just from signing a document.”
White House correspondent - whom Trump recently called “ugly, both inside and out” - asked, “Psychologically important to you or the United States?”
“Psychologically important for me,” Trump answered. Now, maybe another president would feel differently, but so far I’ve been right about everything.”
Trump also told Times that he isn’t opposed to using nuclear force if he “needed it” to take over the island.

@amiserabilist @_L1vY_ Undoubtedly - completely unhinged. Though I’m beginning to see a little bit of pushback from international bodies and authorities now. IMO, it’s taken far too long, and they need to get a lot stronger and more positive in their opposition - not just to him, but to all in his administration who are willingly carrying out his orders.
