#Christianity is the biggest shirking of accountability ever devised. Liability for logic, critical thought, credibility, plausibility, morality, environmental stewardship, and responsibility for one's own actions is merely waived, via the fictional divine blood of a fake Messiah.

One thing that actually gives me some measure of hope is this:
For all intents and purposes, the US always had some level of dominion over Greenland and Canada under NATO. If you envisage competing spheres of influence of the Arctic, with Russia and China both vying for it, well… in a way, NATO already established the US’s ‘control’ of the territories it now says it wants to conquer.
What Trump has done is weaken NATO so severely, he needs to commit troops for what he once had on a handshake
Trump (and those around him) were so deeply pissed off at what they were investing/paying into NATO, but it was essentially buying them (as a sphere of global influence) all of Canada and the European north. And that was a strategy that essentially won the US the cold war.
The irony is that military conquest is far, far more costly. And you cannot hold territory with special ops and mercenaries. Just ask Russia.
The USA wants and plans to just take any minerals or metals it wants from Greenland. Like the oils in Venezuela, it has no intention of paying for the stuff it will extract. People and the country of Venezuela (or Greenland/Denmark) won’t see a cent of payment. This is literally smash & grab robbery. The US must be stopped, by isolation, boycott or refusal to do business with US companies, and other peaceful political means.

A.R. Moxon responds to J.D. Vance's recent claim at TPUSA that whites no longer have to apologize for being white:
"What I find truly extraordinary today is this claim that now, in the U.S.A. thanks to Republicans, you don't have to apologize for being white anymore.
It's a statement worth dissecting.
You is interesting, because it suggests that the VP is speaking exclusively to Republicans deemed 'white.'"
"This was known already to anyone paying attention, but it's good to note that we are addressing specifically people for whom whiteness is core to identity.
Have to is interesting, because it suggests that there some sort of threat behind the expectation. These people of whiteness ... it seems they were being forced into this apology by some greater power."
"They've been forced to apologize, apparently from a powerless position, apparently by the existence in our culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion. There is another implication, slightly more submerged; a tacit acknowledgement that—like most forced apologies—they weren't ever sorry.
Anymore is interesting, because it suggests that this is an oppression that has been overcome, a victory of justice and equality achieved for white people."
"Oppressed by untold decades of brutal apologizing to their marginalized overlords, forced upon them only because of the color of their skin. Now they are free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty, they are free at last to never have to apologize to anyone ever again. Apology was apparently the sole remaining obstacle to racial equality, and now it has been achieved, and there is no better place to celebrate it than the stages of Turning Point USA."
"[Vance's] official White House bio says he served in the U.S. Marine Corps, then used the GI Bill to attend The Ohio State University, and then went on to Yale Law School. That is not 'Hillbilly School.' That is elite credentialing. That is “I know what I’m doing” territory.
So when a guy like that stands on a stage and tells a crowd 'you don’t have to apologize for being white anymore,' he’s not confused."
