Donald Trump has ordered his special forces commanders to draw up a plan for the invasion of Greenland - but is being resisted by senior military figures, The Mail on Sunday has learned.
Sources say that the policy ‘hawks’ around the US President, led by political adviser Stephen Miller, have been so emboldened by the success of the operation to capture Venezuela’s leader Nicolas Maduro that they want to move quickly to seize the island before Russia or China makes a move.
British diplomats believe that Trump is also motivated by a desire to distract American voters from the performance of the US economy before the mid-term elections later this year, after which he could lose control of Congress to the Democrats.
Aw shit, here we go again. Hope I don’t get nuked. Just kidding, I’m almost definitely getting bombed to hell, live right next to a massive military target. That’ll be nice.
Don’t worry our reporters will find out well in advance, and hold the information back to “save us service members lives” and likely fuck your shit up without any warning whatsoever
That’s a solid question that needs to be asked, if war crimes are committed by the US, and our reporters knew but didn’t speak up, are they culpable?
In a word? Yes.
Not sure about legally, but they’d DEFINITELY be ethically and morally responsible.
Agreed on that front, but yes, I did mean legally.
I live in the US. Just happen to be right next to what’s certainly going to be a major target if and when a major war breaks out. Not going to blame whatever countries are involved, I completely understand. It is what it is.
Ah I see. Assume you were a greenlander?
