What if? It's the basis of many stories. We ask. We ponder. We wonder.
On Tuesdays I throw one out there. What if? It may be speculative. It may stem from something I see. It may be something I pull from the news.
Make of it what you will. If a for instance is not specified, interpret that instance as you wish. And if the idea turns into a story, I'd appreciate a thank you in the acknowledgements 😉
What if he does try to acquire Greenland and/or the Panama Canal? How would he do it? Are we turning into that national aggressor sending its military out to acquire territory? Aren't we over this ridiculousness yet?
He might be just blustering. He does that a lot but I can't see the US acting as an agressor, to forcibly takeover another country's land. Like it or not, we handed over the canal zone. As for Greenland....I can't believe we'd attack the Dutch.
ReplyDeleteHe gets an idea in his head, and like the proverbial pit bull (they can be wonderful pets, my own Mickey has some pit in him, so I'm not anti-pit), hangs onto it regardless of being told to drop it. He didn't listen to his advisors last term, and apparently won't this time if yesterday is any indication. After the official speech he made another he said was "better," as it included what his aides hadn't let him include earlier. I hope our military refuses any orders to invade another country. The problem I see this time is before they didn't know what to expect, and either were fired or quit. Now, they know and are hand picked to do what he wants. Crazy stuff is what he wants. We are not over the ridiculousness, it will just get more ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteYes, yes I am over this ridiculousness!
ReplyDeleteHe’s a lunatic
ReplyDeleteEven in a what if situation I can't see that happening.
ReplyDeleteIt would seem we've discussed purchasing Greenland on many occasions. Once our current President gets an idea in his mind he doesn't let go but I somehow doubt he will actually invade another country. But if he does, he has supporters in the military and I don't think they will refuse such an order from him.
ReplyDeleteWe're in shameful times.
