How is USA going after Canada, Greenland & Mexico different from Russian going after Ukraine?

Question

Darklydarkened · Accepted Answer

It isn't USA literally is an imperialistic hegemony state that can graciously threaten other countries.

With all the horrific shit Russia did, I remember watching United States bombing Baghdad flat, unchecked, unchallenged pure barbarism at that

Literally, even Israel didn't randomly dropped bombs at civilians the way US did

And we watched it on live television. Thousands of civilians were brutally murdered by shellings etc etc

Like, I know Russia is evil, but Americans believing that their state is the good guys is fucking rich

Friendlybro79 · Accepted Answer

It isn't different and as an American this is all very embarrassing to me. Trump is an idiot. He's not going to go after any of them. The man has half a brain left as do his supporters that believe Biden is in cognitive decline ( not disagreeing) but Trump isn't. The guy couldn't name half the states in America.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

Last time i checked, the US had not threatened military action against any of those nations.

malarkey · Answer

American isn't going after any of those countries. America made demands of neighbors in our sphere of influence concerning border security to reduce drug and human trafficking. Tariffs were mentioned as a diplomatic measure of leverage. When Canadian politicians said that they'd be slaughtered by tariffs and would not be able to survive, Trump said if you can't survive on your own and you need our support then maybe you should join the United States. America has extended offers to Canadian provinces to join the United States many times. This is no different. America did not extend any offer to Mexico to join America. As far as Greenland is concerned, Trump offered to purchase it. You know America acquired Cuba before right? They were an America territory. We also granted them their freedom. While that wasn't great for us and many Cuban people, we still acquired it and had invested in the territory. Greenland want to be independent of Europe. Maybe they join us, maybe they don't... It was just an offer and it's not the first time America has offered to purchase Greenland either. We've done that under two other Presidents. Greenland has been a protectorate of the USA since WWII. The USA didn't threaten to invade any of those locations.

BluegrassBill · Answer

Well, sweethert I got a tale to unwind, 'bout a time when Trump's eye was on a land called Greenland even though it was white. Greenland, oh Greenland, a land of ice and snow, caught the fancy of our prez, and the world began to glow. It should actually be called "Liberty Land." Lemme strum this here G chord and explain:

[fiddle intro]

Donald Jr. went a-calling, MAGA hats in hand,
Talkin' 'bout strategic deals, and the future of the land.
But the folks in Nuuk, they weren't too keen,
On the idea of sellin' out, or bein' part of the scene.

Now, I'm a redneck from the South, with a love for my own soil,
But I can understand their fear, when a big power starts to roll.
Greenland's rich in minerals, a treasure trove indeed,
But the people there, they want their freedom, and that's what they need.

God wants us to love our neighbors, and treat 'em fair and square,
Even if they're Danish snowflakes, with a different culture to bear.
So, let's strum these strings, and sing a song of unity,
Where folks can choose their fate, and live in harmony.

In Nuuk and beyond, where the snowflakes dance,
The Stars and Stripes will wave, giving them a brand new chance.
At football games on Sundays, a nation's pastime shared,
Greenlanders will wave the American flag and not be scared.

McDonald's burgers sizzlin', fries so crispy and hot,
A taste of home for visitors, and a cultural melting pot.
From sled dogs to tailgates, a fusion of the old and new,
Greenland will be LibertyLand where dreams come true!

Katie1964 · Answer

Because America isn't (and isn't going to) "go after" Canada, Greenland & Mexico. If Trump, or any President, attempted such a bone head stunt, then military would disregard the "order" to invade.

Then, the President would be impeached and removed from office.

These statements of Trump are just distractions from what he is doing to the American people, rather than for the American people.

Kayla45 · Answer

The difference is the USA isn’t deliberately attacking other countries/nations for expansion goals. Every NATO country would be on Americas ass if they pulled a stunt like that.

America isn’t stupid, they play their cards close to their chest, Donald Trump is all bark but no bite. He’s a flawed con artist “businessman” Americans hoping he will change their nation, guess we will see.

O_Canada · Answer

Eh, well, I reckon it's like this, eh? So, the USA, they're like this big ol' hockey player, always skatin' around, tryin' to check everyone, eh. And they've got their eyes on Canada, Greenland, and Mexico, eh. Now, Russia, they're like a goalie, always tryin' to block everyone's shots, eh. And they've got their eyes on Ukraine, eh.

But here's the thing, eh. The USA, they're all like, "Hey, we're just playin' a friendly game, eh. We wanna share our maple syrup and hockey sticks with our neighbors, eh." But Russia, they're all like, "Nuh-uh, this is our territory, eh. We're gonna protect it with all our unholy horror cocks and soul torturing, eh."

So, it's different, eh. But at the end of the day, it's all just a bunch of big ol' countries playin' a rough game, eh. And we're all just along for the ride, eh. Pass the maple syrup, would ya, eh?

Paige90 · Answer

The USA isn't going after Mexico. Canada was just a joke. As far as Greenland, the difference is that the US isn't going in and taking it; they are negotiating with Denmark and would go through the legal process to purchase it. Russia is trying to forcibly take Ukraine.

LiamJHayden · Answer

I suppose if the the military were ordered to invade any of those it would be the same, but till then I just assume it is the guy trolling as usual.

Sevenpointfive · Answer

if we did attack them than it would be. until then we're trying to acquire them peacefully. although, i don't know how we'd pay for such deals? we're not just broke but so far into the hole we can't save our own people. this smells like israel trying to frack greenland with the help of Canadian dollars?

QuestionObsession · Answer

Russia went after Ukraine for security reasons = NATO stretching its asshole to swallow up Ukraine. USA going after those countries is imperialism and hegemony, not security threat.

dean53AU · Answer

Thankfully I'm in Australia so not as close as other countries, a little bit safer for now

Lliam · Answer

Russia invading parts of Ukraine is more like if the U. S. was defending its west coast from hostile forces who also wanted to ban the people in those areas from speaking English.

msc545 · Answer

The US has not used its military to attack any of them - yet.

avery58 · Answer

Because we know Trump is just trolling... Except for maybe wanting to buy Greenland. While Russia is actively invading Ukrainian territory and killing civilians

AviatorTom · Answer

Russia invaded Ukraine with military troops, weapons and bombs. The US hasn't invaded any of those countries, nor will it.

llorando · Answer

One involves use of military and concerns of NATO on their border, other involves an idiot and a laughable pipe dream.

Avicenna · Answer

Well, Russia invaded and fought a bloody war. The US is essentially seeking the consent of the other countries to join the US.

chrissykerdock · Answer

we didn't kill anybody ukraine is a scam people were killed for it

WhiteSteve · Answer

It’s not. Americans just think it’s ok “because ‘Murica”👨‍🌾

Grond21 · Answer

Gee, I don't know. Maybe trolling about Canada and offering to legitimately by Greenland are completely and entirely opposite then a military invasion?

Connie88 · Answer

I wouldn’t trust trump he’s ripped people off before.

abc3643 · Answer

The USA is letting the owner's know and offering $. Russia just invades with military.

molonski2 · Answer

Well for a start USA is not planning to invade , that's a pretty major point.

FenixG45 · Answer

It's not. Both countries are run by tyrannical psychopathic criminal liars!

zagor · Answer

I haven't heard about Canada, Greenland or Mexico being bombed and overrun by troops. Trump's rambling nonsense is not reality.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

America's not gonna bomb the piss out of any of them.

Just_Right_Size · Answer

Greenland has strategic importance in us projecting power in that part of the world. We might have the ability to "fix" Mexico. Canada would be a welfare state. Greenland is the only country that makes sense to purchase.

Dargil · Answer

Has any military equipment been moved? Has a single bullet been discharged?

douride2 · Answer

Well I haven't seen the US dropping any bombs or invading forces crossing into Canada yet.

Still-alive · Answer

He's not ever gonna invade them they are distractions from other bad shit he's doing.

worldscolide · Answer

There is a massive difference, one is by force, violence and death, Russia.. And one is via money.

Staximus · Answer

The US is not going after Canada, Greenland & Mexico. Relax snowflake

Mangospacho · Answer

It’s similar, except neither Canada nor Greenland have ever been a part of the United States

TallAnon · Answer

Lack of commitment. Russia is putting everything on the line, the USA is just barking (for now)

Nice222 · Answer

The only difference is Russia isn’t almost 40 Trillion in Debt.

Godihateyou · Answer

They aren't different at all. It is all in American interest. Yes. The USA wanted war in Ukraine.
