Thanks to @JoshLymanSwagger for the thread title.

Trump, Vance and Musk are building a bigly bridge across the Bering Strait...
...and creating a gaping chasm in the Atlantic.

Kind hearts are more than coronets, and simple faith than Norman blood.

Yes he has said no to the unconditional ceasefire that Ukraine has agreed to

It would seem that Putin has rejected the ceasefire. Or at least he’s accepted under totally different terms to the ones proposed.

Explains the US price of eggs. They're all on Donalds face.

This Nobel peace prize is not coming easily, is it?

I don’t think it’s as easy as a flat no. Putin’s conditions are vague enough that it leaves wiggle room depending on how hard Trump is willing to press (which I suspect isn’t very hard). At the end of the day Russia wants this ceasefire, even if only to rest their troops and rearm. I think they’re playing for time until their counter offensive in Kursk either pushes Ukraine out or culminates.

I hope Obama DM'd Trump and said "better luck next time, loser"

He is after the Panama canal again too

Igotjelly · 13/03/2025 17:52

He’s off his fucking rocker! And to be honest I don’t think it’s a good look for the head of NATO to sit there chuckling away to his jokes whilst he openly threatens other member states.

The United Nations just needs to be ignored.

His attitude towards Greenland sounds a bit like the Argentinian view towards the Falklands

"Boat landed there 200 years ago and they have rights to it?,' Trump mocks Denmark's rule over Greenland"

His MAGA crowd won't care.

It's similar to a cult

No one tell him how come white men rule the US

OK Scotland do your thing. Mango Mussolini may be amongst you in June...

And Don seems to think this is a good starting point. Yes to ceasefire, no to anything that it entails. I predict a cosy chat Trump/ Putin, where Trump will just sign it off.

And all the guff about Canada and Greenland!

Drumpf repeatedly talks about someone in ye olde days drawing an artificial line across N America... does he not consider the reverse is also true. Why can't Canada claim the 49 US states sitting below or to the side of them? Or at the very least take the 13 states that sit on that border. New beautiful, bigly provinces!

TBH I'd be surprised if we aren't kicked out of the UN before this is all over.

Off topic, I've listened to some romance scammer/MLM podcasts and there are parallels with MAGA. It's like a ponzi scheme or MLM, and I'd say MAHA (Make America Healthy Again - the anti-vax version) also shows this. They get sucked in and won't believe anything bad about it. Romance scams are similar, you wouldn't believe half the things people fall for. One woman believed scammer was an architect who'd gone out to Turkey to lay pipes and had been captured by the Turkish Taliban...
