It's laughable that you think maga people are still reachable with facts and logic.

Sure, I know where this is, but you're posting actionable things like "send this to your MAGA uncle"...

I apologize. Clearly I am not taking this meme community seriously enough.

Replace it with a picture of Elon and include his attempts to influence the UK and German elections right after influencing the US election...

Can’t fix his own country’s issues so must deflect by creating issues elsewhere.

This is the same guy who for years cried there was never a single conflict in the world while he was in office.

It’s pretty on par with their greatest tactic of lying about their enemies doing a thing but in reality doing it themselves. They seem to be getting bonus points for blaming the world's oldest scapegoats.

Okay, serious talk, I can kinda understand the last 3 in a "makes sense to a MAGAt" kinda way, but why the fuck is he threatening Greenland?

It houses a NATO base that would be strategically important should Putin try to expand Russia’s war into Western Europe.

Except for Mexico, they all threaten economic and/or strategic interests of Russia.

Id say maybe they think Greenland will become more comfortable while totally fucking the rest of the planet

I've seen a lot of answers with other good reasons, but I think the main reason has slipped under the radar: the US wants to control the naval routes (via Baffin Bay) between the Atlantic and Pacific through the arctic which are progressively opening up more due to climate change.

Currently Denmark and Canada each control one side of that passage, but changing either to being under US control would effectively allow them to control trade flows through those routes.

NWO has always just been a buzzword for corptocracy, even when Bush sr. first used the term.

They'll just say that their God Emperor here is trying to save the world by collecting these territories. For Freedom or something.

Im not a Marxist by any means but the only one world government I would accept would be Marxist. It might be a horrific shitshow but at least they would try to make a livable society.

Doesn't need to go that far. There are other options:

Star Trek is Marxism in space. Seriously.

I was responding to the "it might be a horrific shitshow" part when I said it doesn't need to go that far.

[–] MothmanDelorian 2 points 2 weeks ago

Oh gotcha, fantasy and science fiction aside, Marxism is always kind of a shitshow IRL. It is just sometimes a better intended shitshow.
