One response to “389. Trump, Vance, and How the US Invades Greenland”

  1. Question: when do you think the US military might step in and complete a coup and take over the US, and install a competent government.

    Surely the military leaders would be seriously worried about the loose attitude to national security, the closeness to Russia, and the complete randomness of policy. Surely they see Trump, Vance et Al as totally incompetent to be holding nuclear trigger?
