CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I use my work calendar for just such eventualities. I'd tell you how well it works, but I have died of my COVID vaccines.

Oh Karoline....
Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, denied that Mr. Trump had misspoken, responding in a social media post to a reporter who wrote that he had appeared to mix the countries up multiple times.
“No he didn’t,” she wrote to the reporter. “His written remarks referred to Greenland as a ‘piece of ice’ because that’s what it is. You’re the only one mixing anything up here.”

A piece of ice, no regard whatsoever for the people the families living there on that `piece of ice`.
Well, here we have a saying, `Stor i orden liten på jorden`.
Meaning, big in words little on earth. reserved for those who boast of how great they are.

What is being done, it's a shame, I know - the tens of thousands that have been exterminated by Trump.
...World war 3 is the only logical solution to stop this madness!

Good grief...what news are you reading? He literally threatened a number of NATO members with punitive tariffs simply because they didn't support his bat crazy demands. And then threatened to increase them. He threatened to take control of Greenland by any means. He specifically didn't rule out using force.
I mean, you know all this. How in heaven's name can you actually say that he didn't threaten anyone? That makes absolutely no sense at all.

It's apparent to me that you don’t recognize how leaders of nations negotiate with one another. If a leader is in a position of strategic strength, then you negotiate from that position.

So...you now know that he's ruled it out. Meaning that you agree that it was at one point an option that he said he had.
Now please tell me...in what world does someone have to live in when suggesting that you are considering using force to take over another country NOT A THREAT!
Is it the same world where you tell a half dozen countries that you will impose tariffs on them because they have expressed an opinion that what Trump was proposing was monstrously stupid but that is NOT A THREAT?
I might check an online dictionary after I post this because it seems that the word THREAT has been redefined in the last couple of hours. Has the WH issued it's own definitions? Maybe they'll be issuing a new atlas as well where Iceland and Greenland swap names. I mean, good heavens...with advisors crawling all over his office and he can't even remember the name of the country he said he wanted so bad.

At the end of the day, all that's been done thus far... Are words.
...Words.

I think Trump wanted one last attention-grabbing moment before the Supreme Court takes his IEEPA tariff powers away.
Not that he can't get attention by other means. But I'm sure he'll miss his beloved tariff-tantrums.
