    We took the oil fields, which Hitler failed to do before starving his war machine of gasoline. We’re letting things settle in Venezuela before we take Greenland. Greenland is strategic as the Arctic sea lanes open and prospecting and mining become easier. Good place to defend the continent from air and sea.

    Next? Mexico? No idea. But it looks like the US is making the same mistake as the Nazis, biting off more than we can chew based on the giddy atmosphere after initial wins and zero resistance. Yes, they’re that fucking dumb. It’s like they read the start of WWII history and called it a day.

    Dumber even, Trump didn’t pull the US from economic disaster into short-term prosperity, quite the opposite. At least Hitler had the population in thrall because their economic situation improved. That’s, uh, not working out ATM, and there’s no future where it does.

    And worse, the cult leader is clearly dying of frontotemporal dementia. (Not my armchair take, many doctors and psychiatrists have outlined the clear evidence.) They’re moving fast before Trump can’t be stood in front of a camera.

      The US can grab Greenland, Mexico, and Canada. Militarily, it’s straightforward. The US is so extremely superior, nobody will be able to stop them.

      The US is self sufficient in oil. It doesn’t even need Venezuelan oil.

      This situation isn’t comparable to Nazi Germany at all. Germany is in Central Europe and has major land powers in France and Russia plus the UK to contend with. The USA sit safe and sound, protected by vast oceans on both sides.
