Thank you for the comic relief from the nightmare our world has become! Hopefully the parts that made me laugh out loud will actually happen.

The nose picking part had me laughing out loud. Thanks. And it makes you wonder what they're going to find in Venezuela. A different climate full of deadly snakes, and things like that. But I guess they can still steal oil tankers...

The sad thing is, he will either get Greenland because it will take it or they will give it to him, or he'll get an agreement from the gutless, fascist European leadership that he can have all their minerals.

Gutless? Fascist? SOME of them are but my PM isn't. In fact he's one of the only European leaders who has had the guts to tell Trumpo that what he's doing is wrong.

I'm presuming you are talking about the PM of Spain, in which case you are right. The only one. Even Ireland, which has called what Israel is doing a genocide, is taking a cautious approach in reacting to the USA. If anyone is in doubt about where the USA is heading, ICE just murdered an American, white woman because she wouldn't get out of her car.

The dystopian nightmare isn't funny, but I had to laugh at this piece.

So does it mean we're living on the other side of the Looking Glass, or that I've finally lost the plot?

Laura, that was perfectly said. I feel for the poor soldiers that would have to do the dirty work for Satanyahoo and occupy Greenland. They are going to freeze their testicles...

Is it possible there is a method (no matter how insane) in his madness?

Perhaps, The Rump is hopeful that if he starts enough skirmishes/wars around the world, he can then claim emergency powers and remain in office indefinitely (as he continues these wars as ongoing justification)...

I think you're right, and I think he imagines himself not president but future Emperor of the World for life, with his children inheriting his throne. Seriously. The man is that sick.

Of course. They are imagining it is a strategic bulwark against Russia and China.

Defo - they are maintaining a stranglehold on the world economy through manipulating the oil market (keeping the mighty dollar mighty) Don’t want those pesky BRICS getting any ideas.

And a perfect launching ground for an invasion and kidnapping of the worst socialist of all - Santa Claus!
