People aren't just ignoring the imperialism; they're outraged that Trump is shutting it down.
- sterlind 2y agoBuying Greenland, annexing Canada, retaking the Panama Canal, building beachfront resorts in Gaza and squeezing $500B of rare earth minerals out of Ukraine isn't imperialism? Or does Trump get a pass on what he says he'll do, because it's just trolling to trigger the libs?
- rayiner 2y agoObviously the trolling is different from actually doing. And what the substance of what Trump did with Panama was accuse it of failing to respect the neutrality provisions of the treaty which transferred control of the canal to Panama. And in Ukraine he’s demanding security for hundreds of billions in support we have provided that country. Exercising America’s rights under treaties or demanding compensation for military support is hardly comparable to bankrolling dissident groups in foreign countries.
