Ultimate irresponsibility and dumb stupidity come with a price tag. No avoiding the consequences of our choices

Trump declines to rule out using military force to control Greenland and Panama Canal (The Guardian)

Before the eyes of Putins and Xis of the world. Yes they could. Sure, they did.

But: there's no avoiding the consequences of our choices and actions. Democracy is not a numb wall into which we could throw any sh*t and it just has to take it in, voicelessly, and still work. The reality will catch up, always does.

The balance: someone will have to pay. Someone will pay.

Trump is a troll. A military adventure in Panama would be disastrous as there's no way to protect the canal in an era of drones. One in Greenland would be even worse. And one of the chief points his supporters often make is "At least he kept us out of wars". So I don't think these military adventurism fantasies of his will go down well with his base if he ever tried to put them in play.

Dumb !diot can't wait to jump after Vlads and Xis into territorial "greatness" game. But we knew everything. And so, the only one to blame is the guy/gal in the mirror. They sure will pay.

Maybe you're forgetting precedents in history, wishfully? The loudmouth throat will have to paint perspectives of greatness (where? by what?) in the increasing proportion too, being ideological ponzi scheme and his base will eat anything coming out of any of his orifices because even those who had a grain of reason and independent thought traded it all away, voluntarily and gladly, for an illusion, phantom of greatness. With this kind of setting "never" of anything is at best an uncertain bet. Too many precedents.

I crossed out "democracy" and replaced it with "socialism". I also did a little rewording. It's more germane to your true beliefs, don't you think?

It has to be for the lack of the ability to express your own thoughts on the subject. No further comments.

It helps if you are honest with your messaging. Everyone knows that you want a straight democracy despite the US being a constitutional republic, so just be honest about that.

The reason you want a straight democracy is that it takes us closer to socialism which is what you people really want. And some of you even want full blown marxism or communism - maybe all of you at some point.

Just be honest with your thoughts, and then I will dive in with my own thoughts.

Name one reason why would anyone sane and with a single working cell in the brain want to do that, ever? Add for a bonus "now". Yet the reason exists: this is how he's lining up his following, so they jump and cheer to whatever comes out of his lying mouth, or at least, silent like mice. "Liberate Greenland and Panama" Republicans are you still there? This is your leader speaking, no mistake?

Can you seriously hope to come out of this sh*t after four years like nothing happen? Could you even look in the mirror and not hate the image, after what you've done and will do, in this tenure?

"Will not go down well with his base", wanna tell it to Hitler or Putin? Because note, the talk is the same already, all caught up.

The bottom line: stupidity has a price tag. The line was crossed, by carefree irresponsibility and bandwagon arrogance that should have never been. Someone will have to pay and the reality always looks after that.
