How very true. He and Hegseth demonstrated that when they claimed that they were returning DoD to being the Dept of War. The Dept of War began as Army and Navy, but the Dept of Navy was created at the then Secretary of War's request in 1798 and from then until 1947, the Dept of War was the US Army. The 1947 National Security Act divided War into the Depts of Army and Air Force and the combined entity Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps became the National Military Establishment (NME). In 1949, the NME became the Department of Defense and three service Department Secretaries who had been Cabinet members became subordinate to the Secretary of Defense who became the Cabinet member.
Trump is completely insane and out of control, as are some members of his administration. It is entirely possible he will cause a world war. Possibly a nuclear war. The window for stopping him is closing fast.
Impeach NOW before he tries to invade Greenland. Maybe enough Senators are also concerned about a possible invasion of Greenland to vote to convict. We have to prevent World War III.
The last time the western democracies accepted and appeased a war of aggression and conquest by a militaristic dictator in the heart of Europe, one of the consequences was a grave in the Netherlands American Cemetery with my name on the cross: my father's cousin, a glider pilot killed in Operation Varsity, the crossing of the Rhine, a month and a half before the German surrender. I was named for him. Politicians of all types--ask yourself--do you want your grandchildren to fight that war again?
Venezuela, Cuba, Greenland, Colombia, and all the rest are a sideshow. Don't sleepwalk.
Like Venezuela, Greenland is about exploiting other people's natural resources. Someone has convinced Trump that Greenland has a hoard of easily obtainable "raw earths" (as he calls them), which can quickly be installed into F35's, ICBM's, Elon's robots, Grok, etc. Little does he know that "rare" earths aren't at all rare, but it requires a massive investment to extract and separate them from ore, which only China is doing at scale. He thinks it's the 19th Century California Gold Rush and wants a big piece of it. Of course, the folks who got rich from that were those who sold supplies to the miners and his grandad Drumpf who provided them "entertainment". He should watch "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre"
It’s been no secret that Cheeto and the Nazi Republicans have despised America’s involvement in NATO Cheeto has consistently said that the US is “ripped off” by its European allies and now uses that as an excuse to pull out of Ukraine Now Cheeto is saying that Greenland is “fair compensation” for what the US as a country has put into NATO(https://bit.ly/4ppKBrD)
It’s also no secret that Cheeto sees Putin as his ally and that both of them have similar operational intents To invade countries for resources and national security For Cheeto Western Hemisphere dominance seeking to annex Venezuela, Cuba, and Greenland For Putin it’s annexing Ukraine and beheading his adversary NATO Now Berlin intelligence is uncovering Putin’s miliary plans(https://bit.ly/45CLiXl)
This article https://bit.ly/4qOujcZ exposes these parallels and their seeking a Yalta 2.0 But even though Cheeto and Putin are looking like adversaries, it’s a game between 2 malignant narcissists who want to control their backyards In the end Putin is playing Cheeto’s game because they both know that if Cheeto plays his NATO fracture game in West it gives him the opportunity to invade Europe and America will suffer big time
"Nazi" use is to provoke past historical emotions which defines the corrupt current regime for what it is.....its attempt to overthrow the republic and establish a permanent authoritarian government aka Curtis Yarvin's vision and Just Dance Vance and Peter Theil's objective
Trump is a dope. When trump the dope shows his stupidity in business, he files bankruptcy and relies on the legal system with his questionable lawyers. As president when he shows his stupidity he is stumbling into WWIII with the nation's military. Maybe he has watched too much television and not eaten his vegetables. I don't know if the country will ever wake up.
Trump is a total ignoramus when it comes to history.

Thank you for this great essay, Mr. Gohlke.
Thank you for reading it, Elizabeth!

Trump is a malignant narcissist who only cares about his ego.

THo' I did enjoy your comments "protect the vote", Nazi name-calling of an entire group of U.S. politicians does nothing to further our cause.
