The timing of this is interesting, right before he goes to a meeting in Alaska with Putin. Trump's going to make some type of announcement after his meeting, something he knows will cause protests, and he's locking down the capital beforehand to stop any protests from happening there.
Is it going to be an announcement about the Ukraine invasion by Russia? Probably. But, based on Trump's history, he may have made a deal to sell Alaska to Russia as the ultimate real estate deal. Wouldn't put it past him.
He has a wet dream of using the military against protesters, after he was stopped last time. Someone told him he needed the NG installed ahead of time to make it work.
I sincerely hope you are wrong but it definitely feels that way.
Indeed and the fucking Muscovites can keep the MAGAts and conscript, by force if necessary, into the Russian infantry. The USA invades Greenland.

Uh huh.

You mean like how Russia sold Alaska to the US in the first place? Or how the US annexed Hawaii and overthrew their king?
You want to talk about real estate deals?
Blackrock buying real estate in Ukraine? Oh not directly. But what do you think it means? Generous selfless offers of help?
Yeah yeah, Trump bad guy, but are you equally as well informed about what was happening anyways?
What was happening then, has no bearing on what's happening now. Russia sold Alaska to America back before modern extraction techniques made it a very valuable piece of land. I'm sure they would love to have it back now, and Trump would love to bolster his place in history for making large deals by selling it back to Russia.
You're using historical facts that have no bearing on the situation to try and argue that Trump wouldn't do that, when he would do it in a fucking heartbeat if he thinks he can get away with it.
Lol what? How is any of what you said relevant?
