(12,389 posts)Totally illegal but these arrogant clowns do not care. This is a might makes right moment. Stephen Miller has already proclaimed that no one would dare challenge the US military to defend Greenland. This morning the Goon Squad is beating chests, bellowing non-stop over the 'police action' in Venezuela, how the Maduro extraction was something only the US military could pull off.
Therefore, they can do anything, anywhere.
A kick in the teeth to NATO and anyone who disagrees.
This Administration is the epitome of the Ugly American.

One puffy, makeup covered hand washes the other. Those "secret" meetings between Pootie and Krasnov loom large.

Justice matters.

Wouldn't that be the only and obvious thing to do today?
Threatening NATO allies with attack? Not removeable?
I watched seven different Democrats Monday and Tuesday say that Venezuela attack was a)against the US Constitution, b)against Federal Statutes and c)against International Law. Exactly ZERO followed up those comments by demanding Trump and Hesgeth be removed. Even Bernie Sanders wouldn't say it. Even Mark Kelly wouldn't say it.
Yeh, lets just watch Trump burn the world to the ground. Sure.

(7,654 posts)NATO countries might not respond in a military fashion.
BUT:
NATO countries will declare America to be a rogue state, confiscate all NATO country US held properties like bases, nullify any trade agreements, and dump any bonds held in US stocks.
As well as locking US owned bank accounts.
Any US company trading in Europe will seize up.
It will hurt Europe doing so, but America has more to lose.
Want to turn your country into a poverty stricken banana republic, Mr Trump?
Trigger a global recession?
Your choice!
The situation is quite serious though.
You can't tell if Trump is bluffing or not, and he is not prepared to listen to any advisors brave enough to tell him this is a bad, bad idea.
