It's too crazy. "I want Greenland because I didn't get a Nobel Prize," is the upshot of the letter Present Trump sent to Norway's Prime Minister and shared with the international diplomatic corps in Washington, DC.
Arctic-trained troops stationed in Alaska are on standby, ostensibly to possibly be deployed to Minneapolis-St. Paul in Minnesota in support of the heavy-handed federal round-up, supposedly directed at illegal immigrants but sweeping up native-born and naturalized citizens, protestors and anyone else unlucky enough to be in the wrong place or the wrong color. Of course, they'd be handy for a quick raid on Greenland, too, so...?
It's all too crazy. I'm watching it, but it's unfixable in the short term and a nightmare on any scale.

The thought that the man in charge of the world's biggest nuclear arsenal thinks like a petulant child should send shivers down the spine of any reasonable human being. And yet, his craziness is sanewashed by his loyal supporters.
They told me that we'd get Imperialistic NeoCon Forever Wars if I didn't vote for
Trump in the Primary, and they were right (to steal an old joke from Insty).
Remember when Trump said those were bad? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
DoubleThink- it's not just for Dirty Commies anymore!
I can conceive of a fair number of people deciding that if we're going to have a war, that they want to (a) be on the side of the good guys, (b) that we are the bad guys, and (c) acting accordingly. They may do a bit more than the White Rose Society did.
They'll probably mostly get killed, but they'll be honored by history. Not so much those who follow Generalissimo Orange's orders.
Also- does he know that Norway and Denmark are not the same country?
