    It's okay with you for modern day nations to bring up decades or centuries old land grabs by other nations to justify a modern war?

    After reading these pages that is the comment that stood out.

    Absolutely unreal. In the year 2026 there are actually people walking around attempting to justify forcibly taking a place like Greenland. Surreal

    It goes to show you how through history absolutely gullible, inherently violent, brainwashed, propagandized, nationalistic “let’s make some history” ,animalistic people will support whatever is put in front them happily justifying all of it.

    We have a very relevant and recent example of that logic. That's Putin's exact logic - Ukraine was historically Russian land, so conquest is justified. That logic causes war, kills civilians, and creates massive suffering.

    Now imagine every nation or leader using that logic.

    A lot of people will be re-learning some very painful lessons and many, many more will be hurt in the process. Right now, the US is behaving like a fallen Saruman.

    If we try to take Greenland with force, that fractures NATO and brings about a host of problems that will do nothing but damage the US and our once allies, much to the delight of Russia and China. It will create massive levels of uncertainty around the globe with the resultant human suffering. We'd completely break the post-WWII order with nothing to replace it but firepower. Yet firepower is not enough to impose your will in the modern age, as we have now seen multiple times with both the US and Russia.

    As they say, those who don't know history are condemned to repeat it and those who know history are condemned to see their warnings fall by the wayside and watch on in horror as it all happens again.

    How about not being a hypocrite?

    The difference between our perspectives is that I don't think Americans did anything wrong taking this continent by conquest.

    And, frankly, neither do you, because if you did, and you had any integrity whatever, you'd sign the deed of your house over to the tribe it was "stolen" from and get your happy ass back on a boat to wherever it is you came from.

    Do I want to take Greenland by force? Not really. I would prefer to purchase it or if Denmark gave it to us.

    Would I let the sensibilities of 50,000 Greenlanders get in the way of the United States securing a geostrategic location that many believe will be an important theatre of international geopolitical conflict over the next 50,100,200+ years? No. I don't care what they think.

    If the Panamanians tomorrow shut off access to the Panama canal to the United States, I'd go re-open it. I don't care what they think.

    Wait, I thought there were some posters on this BBS that consistently claim the Dems are a bunch of warmongers? The silence is deafening!

    It's ok for the Danes to steal land from indigenous people and continue to govern over them?

    It's ok for you to own "stolen land" in the United States and not give it back?

    @dobro1229 these clowns sincerely dont understand the concept the treaty we have with Denmark allows us to deploy an infinite number of soliders and deploy any military vehicles we have to the area.

    Denmark is forced to take care of the local population while America can can just worry about its military posture. They already have the best of both worlds

    Lol. “Spamming the Ukraine thread”. Go count my posts on that thread. I bet you have at least 100 more than I do. You calling someone else a spammer is maybe the funnniest thing on this board.

    You are quite possibly the most sensitive girl I’ve ever known.

    maybe thats the thread where you kept trying to get me to come to your lesbian gym.

    Go count my posts and your posts on the Ukraine thread, dipshit.

    You have no sincere beliefs other than following your pedophile leader. You posted in the ukraine thread that spending money outside of America was a money laundering scheme and we should be spending money at home.

    Not a single one of you MAGATs have any core ideology.

    They understand it well, but are just pre-programmed sheep to need to argue for literally any position that Trump takes, even as ridiculous as it is, and if it's something that normal people are upset about then in their minds they are pre-programmed to believe that it must be a fight worth fighting because they are aggrieved so much that the only thing that gives them any sense of value is owning the libs online in their minds.

    Lol. You said I “spammed the Ukraine thread”.

    so now you admit you made it up.

    Did you make your rounds today, insulting everyone but not getting a response? Is that how you landed on me?

    You’re pathetic. And you are a liar. Maybe let the board breathe a little bit. You make it suck.

    Lmao I'm pathetic cuz I'm not the dumbass cosplaying as a anti war anti money laundering troll on a basketball forum only to suck on Trumps nuts when he does the exact same thing you cried about.

    Thanks for proving my point that you shameless morons have no ideology

    No, you’re just pathetic. You’re a **** stain of a person. You prove it all day, everyday, and deep into the night and early in the morning. All you do with your life is try to desperately defend every single action or decision (good or bad) that the dems make. Ignorant, low IQ, ad hominem attacks to anyone who disagrees with you is all you can ever muster.

    You’re a phony piece of trash who just got caught in yet another lie.

    This is probably the last time I ever respond to you, because you make this board suck, and our silly back and forth only makes it worse for the entire community.

    one more thing…. You’ll never find a boyfriend if you’re spending all your time in here. I don’t want to get in the way of that either.

    Peace out, girl.

    You were just exposed and you think I'm the phony loll. Your dumbass went from crying about foreign aid under biden to cheerleadering subsiding oil infrastructure in Venezuela like a r****d.

    Keep acting tough on the internet kiddo we both know this is the only place you can talk the way you do. Your ****** would get clocked in real life which you already know which is why you shivered when you were called out

    If you don't think that America did anything wrong by taking over this continent, then you don't think Hitler did anything wrong either by trying to take over Europe. Just say that then. Then, understand that the natural consequence of that is destabilization, and war, and death. Know what you believe in, and know the ramifications.
