I was wondering if Trump is serious about annexing Greenland or maybe occupying parts of Panama.
Though it seems possible, it could also be — in my opinion — that this is part of an elaborate strategy to get on par with Putin regarding recklessness and will to use force at least at the rhetorical level.
In case he can convince Putin that he may also resort to the use of force to achieve territorial growth targets and/or to protect US interests and/or to „project power“ any time, this may enhance his position regarding possible negotiations with Putin regarding Ukraine.
You’d rather consider a Trump who wants to make the rest of the NATO spend multiple times the whole national budget of Russia into armament a threat than a more reluctant Biden. Don’t you think Trump, who wants his second term to become a historic success, would throw the whole military power of the US into protecting Ukraine in case he cannot achieve a deal with Putin? After bragging so much about how he’d end the Ukraine war in less than no time?
So… it’s interesting to guess if we’re just seeing the world’s greatest con-man enacting a sociopath out of touch with reality in an attempt to prepare a historical deal with Putin, or if we’re seeing a sociopath getting dementia getting out of control or something.
Let’s hope for the best… may god bless us all.
