UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper, moments ago, just condemned Trump on Greenland:

“Let me be very clear on the UK position. Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, our close European partners and longstanding NATO allies. And all our countries work closely together on security issues and will always do so. The future of Greenland is a matter for the Greenlanders and Danes and no one else.”

That’s hardly a condemnation of Trump. If Russia was threatening to invade Greenland she wouldn’t be expected to state banal facts about Greenland being a part of the Kingdom of Denmark.

She could have told Trump to “get your tiny grubby discoloured paws off Greenland you filthy orangutan!”

Graham: To our Cuban friends in Florida… the liberation of your homeland is close

Will you be "welcomed as liberators"? Don't worry, Graham, it won't be your boots on the ground. It'll be other people's kids who die for your grand adventure and for Florida Cuban votes.

Jackass.

Pete Hegesth, "We spent decades, purchased in American blood and got nothing economically in return"

"Now we can ensure we can access to additional wealth"

To our brave soldiers I say have no fear that you're putting your lives on the line in defence of honourable principles, this time it's just money you're dying for.

Heretic!

Just this time??

Well, she has said that on behalf of the UK, but diplomatically. Not that Trump is going to take a blind bit of notice. His flunkies probably won't have shown him that.

CNN: The leadership of the House Armed Services Committee is set to be briefed tonight by Trump administration officials. What questions do you have?

GOP REP. CARLOS GIMENEZ: The questions I would have is how brilliantly they carried out the operation

Hmm. What's the point of you, then? They pay you, I presume. Do you think you're delivering value to the taxpayers?

Lol, like we have a Congress with any functional leadership at any level.

Cubans will fight. We found that out when the handful of Cuban army engineers made us work for it in Grenada. It took Castro 5 years to take Cuba, and he lived there.

John James
@JohnJamesMI
Me and my buddies fought in a 20-year war because Bush and Obama couldn’t get done in four terms what Trump just got done in four hours.

I voted for this!

Yes, Mr James, you voted to destroy the US. I hope you're happy with betraying your own country, traitor.

The thing is Bush was actually not that unpopular when he invaded Iraq, but that changed with time, of course.

He'd cratered the economy by then. The only thing keeping his head above water was his undeserved reputation as a war president.

That's interesting, since nothing Trump has done has involved " declaring war ".

Hmm. Rinse and repeat with the peace president?

I've been waiting 350+ posts for someone to get to this.

The economy mavens here must not like Max, as there's no mention of UNFTR on the board, but I'm leaning toward his take on what's behind this...

Regardless of what Trump's been convinced is the reasoning, and going with the idea that at under $60/bbl for our own "light sweet" crude, meaning their "heavy sour" isn't worth the billions to get re-involved there, a remaining possible motivation is Lil' Marco's lifelong hard-on to exact regime change in Cuba.

And look at that... it's a twofer.

Rubio wants to be the next Batista soooo bad. Ah well, once a Mafia-American always a Mafia-American.

That's what he says. IMHO over 100 military planes bombing a capital is very clear declaration of war.

My point was the pointlessness of Kain's comments. But, you probably got that.
