Anyone else starting to get worried about this rise of casual open imperialism? Like, not "peaceful trade at prices social justice activists don't like" imperialism but actual "let's go conquer stuff" imperialism. I know it's "meant to be a joke", but often such jokes are a first step to normalizing something dark...

My only thing with this is people keep saying get out of Ukraine, I guess they are just shifting focus closer to home now... Not for or against as I don't have enough information to make a real response

Telling Russians to get out of Ukraine or you mean telling the US government to stop sending aid to Ukraine?

Telling the US to stop sending aid (which is the form of money, assets in close proximity without formally being a part of it etc)

ha yea, well Greenland is over 3x as big as Ukraine and Canada is about 17x as big as Ukraine. If the comparison is the USA then Canada is only a little bit bigger and Greenland is about 1/4th the size of the USA. I'm not sure land mass is that important when it comes to imperialism though, is it?

I do think "if true" this was a smart way to minimize Media impact... Too many people are traveling today... Or it's intentional to maximize discussions amongst families as they gather?

Right, but the imperialist comments have been coming from Trump for a couple weeks now.
