CNN is whitewashing Trump's vision of invading and conquering other countries.

"Trump is teasing US expansion into Panama, Greenland and Canada'
https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/23/politics/trump-us-expansion-panama-canada-greenland/index.html

You know, like Hitler "expanded" into Poland and Sudatenland and France.
Like how Stalin "expanded" into Poland and Germany and Slovakia.

It's called INVASION.
And it's called INSANE.

And it's not "teasing". It's THREATENING our allies!

1. No problem: invade Canada, Mexico, Greenland, Panama.

They all belong to the US. Everything belongs to the US.
We are taking what is rightfully ours.

Resistance is futile, they will be assimilated.

[DENVERPOPS]

15. Putin would love it...........

Remember, Trump, Lindsay and others are Putin's lap poodles.......

[Irish_Dem]

17. The orders came from Putin in the first place.

2. Normalizing and hoping. It would be good for ratings.

[Johnny2X2X]

3. Of course they are

The media works for the Rightwing oligarchs that installed Trump. The sooner people accept that the sooner we can come up with a way to address it.

4. Grotesque thrice over

First, grotesque of TSF to make such proclamations. It's expected but no less nauseating when it happens.

Second, grotesque of the DC political establishment to treat this bullshit as plausible, let alone justifiable. They're paid well to know better.

Third (possibly worst of all), exceedingly grotesque of CNN to publish such an uncritical fluff-job of an article that normalizes expansionist aggression while apparently regarding these ideas as novel and exciting. "Teases"? Really? I have never seen such twisted self-debasing complicity from the press, even after the 9-11 attacks when W could do no wrong. This article reeks of a terrified news-media operating in fear for its very life, completely incapable of performing anything resembling responsible journalism. In the most generous interpretation, it quite possibly stands as an unwitting plea for divine intervention, yet even so it remains callous, foul, and disgusting.

Grotesque.

5. The US media always supports US imperialism

While screaming about democracy.
It is farce. M$Greedia’s billionaire owners are imperialists.

[slightlv]

11. This is exceptionally true,

considering WHO he's wanting to "annex" into the U.S. They have better functioning democracies than WE do!

16. Nailed it

7. tRump has criminal connections to Panama

He's got a resort there that appears to be a money-laundering pit for drug cartels and Russian mafia.

Also some rumors of tax evasion.

9. Which I'm sure Merrick Garland will look into. When he gets around to it.

Oh, wait! He's just about out of time. Bummer.

[paleotn]

8. None of this is going to happen.

He's spewing bullshit once again. Yes, it's disturbing, but really he's just trolling. US tanks aren't rolling into Canada, he can't take back the canal and Greenland is a gigantic iceberg that wants nothing to do with him or us.

22. Most respectfully

I think you're in for a rude awakening.

[Renew Deal]

10. I hear that northern Mexico is on the list

[Blue_Tires]

12. All those alt-left nutbars who used to cry about "imperialism"

Have been awfully damned quiet lately...

[Baitball Blogger]

13. Just say it. The motherfucker is an irresponsible leader.

[barbtries]

14. but of course they are.

the legacy, for profit, corporate press has failed this country abjectly.

[Vinca]

18. This morning I turned on CNN since MSNBC is already in holiday rerun mode. I had the misfortune

of seeing that loathsome, moronic Scott Jennings on the panel. He thought Trump buying Greenland was the greatest idea in the history of time. OMG . . . it's going to be a long, long, long 4 years.

[Kaleva]

19. Why are you watching CNN?

[viva la]

20. I don't watch-- just checked the headlines online

It's even worse today:
Trump Considers US Expansion.


It's like CNN is presenting this as a real option-- that we can just EXPAND INTO Canada. They even marvel that it would "rival the Louisiana Purchase!"

These are actual sovereign countries with citizens.
Of course it's completely not possible. But they don't headline:
Trump Considers Idiotic, Insane, Illegal Invasion of Our Allies

[Kaleva]

23. Ok. Merry Christmas!

21. Putin was just teasing too
