no, not at all.

That's a quote from Kissinger taken out of context in relation to a coup in South Vietnam. Stop using it that way.

Greenland is home to some of the world's largest deposits of rare earth elements. Trump is looking for great places to install AI data farms in strategic locations to protect US tech infra-structure. These rare earth elements are crucial for various high-tech applications, including electronics, renewable energy technologies, and defense systems.

And America will be safer, thank you DJT.

No, he's funny, you have no sense of humor.

California, with about the same population has Canada, still has 1.5 Trillion more in GDP. Sorry, little brother, you are being subsidized and should align better with the needs of North America as a whole. Let's worked together to bring Greenland into the nest.

no, he's living rent free in your head and we are laughing.

@Tohelomymmeli then at least use its proper attribution. This perspective was evident in the U.S. involvement in the 1963 coup in South Vietnam, which led to the overthrow and assassination of President Ngo Dinh Diem. The U.S. support for the coup was seen as undermining the legitimacy of the South Vietnamese government, which Kissinger later criticized as "shameful"

@marknicholson2281 I never said anything about "support" for Canada? I was making a size comparison with California. In fiscal year 2021, the federal government provided approximately $143.7 billion to California. This funding supports a wide range of programs and services, including infrastructure, education, healthcare, and public welfare. California gets Tax dollars from Red MAGA states, and the Central Valley of California, along with Eastern and Southern farmland, is MAGA country. We are a representative form of government, not a pure democracy of the tyrannical majority. Pierre and Donald will work well together, the PM of Alberta, too, she's smart.

Trump is not "dumb", but I like that he's crazy, like a fox Greenland is home to some of the world's largest deposits of rare earth elements. Trump is looking for great places to install AI data farms in strategic locations to protect US tech infra-structure. These rare earth elements are crucial for various high-tech applications, including electronics, renewable energy technologies, and defense systems.

Australia is collapsing economically, going woke means you go broke.

@cafl9844 China/Iran/Russia/Venezuela/Mexico and elements in the EU who openly hate Capitalism as expressed by the USA. How do you feel about USA/Capitalism?

@adampeckham8541 he didn't say "force"? Putin's rational on Ukraine is not at all like what Trump is saying about Canada and Greenland. He loves to spin your TDS, he's now living in your head. It's a negotiating technique.

@juliz2500 trump is not Hitler. PT Barnum.

@tessasmith3426 yes it is

Tariffs are working for us, and Biden kept Trump era Tariffs on China. I'm in California and Trump tariff on Chinese garlic saved our garlic farmers. You are incorrect.

@canaanstuart3331 no troops, not fighter jets with missiles, not drones flying in to destroy civilian targets, not claim the region is historically Russian. Not even a little bit similar.

@ddandymann Putin and Trump could not be more different. Putin is a mid-level KGB officer, a bureaucrat who failed up in a culture that rewards backstabbing failures. Trump is a showman, in many ways a clown, a version of the American huckster, a PT Barnum who coined the phrase: "Never smarten up a chump, never give a sucker an even break". Trump is a trickster in your head, you are the chump if you believe it.

Trump is no friend of Putin. Just listen to what Zelinsky just said about Trump

@optimusminimus-v3d keep your friends close, your enemies closer, very old saying, still very true .

@1UnderPar by objective evidence, Trump is smart. He's won the US Presidency, twice, maybe even three times.

@IxGxNxI China? More than just subsidizing buy buying stuff, they buy our Treasury Bills, although they sold some off recently. Canada is small compared to either the US or China.

I'm with Trump, bring Greenland into the fold. Canada lacks worker productivity, the state of California alone has a GDP 1.5 Trillion higher than the entire country of Canada.

@meynardocustodio2477 He's authentic, a poster-boy for Post-Modern, Post-Truth Critical Theory. He speaks his truth regardless of the facts, just like the Obamas.

@UnclePlaysBadly Trump is a counter-puncher, he punches back, rarely strikes the first blow. JD Vance called him Hitler, Marco Rubio created a website with all of Trump's bankruptcies listed. Both are now part of the new administration. How is that possible based on your opinion of his character? Trump had the first openly Gay man in the Cabinet, Ric Grinnel, Trump just hired the first woman to every be Chief of Staff, Suzie Wiles. How does that align with your opinion of Trump? He knows you don't like him, and that's why he's living in your head rent free. Pure genius.

@sz5263 To what nation/state ally has America been "fatal" to. It is not true, and is not at all what Kissinger was talking about.

@el4369 Saudi Arabia and Aramco. Big benefit.

@dthomas9230 No, I was alive in 1963, been down that rabbit hole. Oswald just another lone wolf, we just experienced two of them again this month. Oswald first shot a general, the Kennedy just happened to come to town. All Oswald. The CIA was then, as it is now, very bad at covert operations. They failed to get Castro for years. President John F. Kennedy and Catholic Cardinal Francis Spellman both played significant roles in the early stages of U.S. involvement in Vietnam. Kennedy supported Ngo Dinh Diem, the leader of South Vietnam, and significantly increased the number of U.S. military advisors in the country. When Kennedy took office in 1961, there were around 800 U.S. military advisors in Vietnam. By the time of his assassination in 1963, that number had grown to over 16,000

@camdenNW1 "feel", oh yes, the feelings are understood, not new, and predates Kissinger's quote. 1804, our 3rd President, Thomas Jefferson, sent the USS Enterprise to fight Muslim Terrorists in the Mediterranean who were holding American Citizens for ransom and enslaving women.

@GarconRoyal-ki9tm yes, and I can say stop it, it's being used out of context, it's false. freedom of speech in America gives you the civil right to lie unless you are engaged in malicious defamation, then you are liable for civil damages.
