Greenland is not “full of white people”. The vast majority, a bit below 90% last time I checked, are Inuit or mixed. The Norse settlements in Greenland died out in the 1400s. 

That’s likely, though that’s just evidence of his ignorance. If you could buy Greenland now, what you really want it for is probably fresh water reserves and potential for food exports in the future, 50 years down the line or more.

There’s an argument to make in a future competitive (and melting) Arctic that this could benefit US national security. I don’t buy that for a second as his motivation, but you could make the argument without sounding like an idiot.

I’m not a lady, and I have the relevant background in IHL and IR to know a liar when I see one. No state has a right to exist. It’s not a right enumerated anywhere. Your weak appeals to “sovereignty” arguments are basically what dictatorships rely on to stress non-interference in their internal affairs, but that…

That letter was bit too nakedly authoritarian for a lot of people. It’s probably not going to move the needle with the people he actually represents, as the people who agree never voted for him in the first place and were already hostile. But this response lets him claim the civility high ground, which people do care…

Yeah I could’ve worded that better. Maybe “something superficially similar to empathy without much scrutiny”. That’s pretty wordy though. 

Don’t diagnose from a distance and all that, but if you told me he was incapable of real empathy I’d believe you. He displays something like empathy for people who are loyal or close to him, but I don’t think it’s real empathy as much as transactional. 

Far-right cliches won’t fool anyone here. Congratulations on successfully running away from your false claims about Iran and hoping that would distract people. Enjoy staying in the greys, and enjoy the fate your dishonor condemns you too. 

Palestinians, Arabs in general, Muslims, Blacks, Hispanics. You probably think you aren’t racist against Asians based on the usual far-right “model minority” drivel, but that’s racist against Asians. I see your usual filth in the greys all the time and just flag and ignore it. You can’t play dumb. We all know what a…

You’re a racist shitstain who had multiple abusive burners before this. We know what you are. You merit the banhammer.

....You didn’t read my comment did you. Here, I’ll copy the relevant portion.

Where there’s racist trolls, you always show yourself. Here to revise history to suit your political prejudices once more? Or are you doing the pseudo-reasonable thing this time? 

No, it didn’t. I don’t know how your racist pissant ass got out of the greys, probably the other racist trolls here today, but this is a naked lie.

Married them, according to the story. If you’ve read the other comments you’re probably aware Livy isn’t the most reliable narrator, but I do think the “lured them with promises they reneged on” is more likely than mass sexual assault and forced marriage. I’m not aware of any recorded events like that, though…

You have a tendency of writing false things, and ignoring them would misinform others, which I find unacceptable. Though in this case, I just thought it amusing how made it all about yourself.

An Israeli official has already stated they did it because of Trump. That could be an attempt to shift the blame and cover for Netanyahu, but it’s not easy to dismiss. I’m also pretty confident in my read of internal Israeli politics. I’m not an expert, but I’ve been watching in a lot more detail than most people for…

Yes. The legal situation is far clearer than a few dishonest “pro-Israel” legal scholars like to claim. Go back to whatever racist cesspit you slithered out of.

Way to make this all about you. Trolls are trolls I suppose. 

I know there’s value in dunking on the dishonest troll to inform others, but this one is pretty useless. Probably worth dismissing after this comment.

Even AIPAC has expressed mild disagreement with this decision. I think Netanyahu may have backed himself into a corner. The far-right demanded this, and would attack him if he didn’t do it, but now he’s struggling with the blowback, which can harm his “I’m the best leader for Israel abroad” line.
