President-Elect (notice how I've never disputed that he won the 2024 election) Donald Trump has been frothing at the mouth in Hitlerian fashion, threatening to claim Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal.
Perhaps he knows--perhaps he doesn't--that these are war threats he is making. He seems pretty damn confident that The Department of Defense will do as he says, as if he were already--or is going to be--an absolute ruler.
Not to belabor this point, but my direct ancestral lineage, from which we get our current military, fought The American Revolutionary War so we wouldn't have an absolute ruler. Far worse than a king, Donald J. Trump is aiming to be a dictator along the lines of Vladimir Putin, who has attacked Ukraine, which The United States, along with allies, have been supporting since Day 1.
Caught in his frothy dreams, to Trump, the world may look like his oyster. He must know our military's fame; he must be confident of it. With due respect to the president-elect, we are a great country, we do have a great military. But we are nothing without our allies, who are a force for good in the world. The United Kingdom, which has a close connection to Canada, and Mexico, which is putting a strong, smart, respectable foot in the world with their most recent election, are both supposed to be our allies, Mr. Trump.
Donald Trump is so intent on being a bad guy that he doesn't know much about the good guys--or friends of friends of friends of the good guys. And--he doesn't know their military power.
Denmark, home to one of my personal beloved philosophers during their Golden Age, Soren Kierkegaard, surprised the ever-loving shit out of me by pledging to defend Greenland.
Meanwhile, as Trump, who claims at times to be a Christian, told people to "go to Hell" on Christmas (likely not what Jesus would do), the question becomes: What is my military doing, anyway?
Thankfully, The United States Military is doing exactly what it should Constitutionally be doing: Sending holiday greetings to deployed service members, wishing everyone 'Happy Holidays' via social media, and--this is a big one--still answering to President Biden, and not even commenting, as of this writing, on Trump's plan to take over the world, which just like the comic "Pinky and the Brain," is what Trump seems to be planning every night, along with his deathly plots domestically, such as concentration camps for immigrants and illegally changing our birthright citizenship requirements, which, I'm sure the egoist in him is aware, makes himself vulnerable to being deported by himself. So he will undoubtedly be sure to try to unconstitutionally change citizenship requirements being sure to enclose his cronies and himself in United States citizenship while excluding those he wishes to deport.
I'm just curious--because it would be high humor were it not so dark--if I will be among those said to be a non-citizen, considering I am a direct descendant of 2 Revolutionary War heroes.
