The Monroe Doctrine will earn the US President a share of oil and drug money from a number of South American countries.

International law will limit the tracel schedule and destinations of the US president.

A fanciful thought:

Trump dies of a blood clot and Vance advances to the White House. Says "I went along with it to get into office, but now let's go back to normal."

Yeah. I know. Fiction has trouble keeping up with the crap this group is spinning.

If it's the Peace Prize he is after, he would be better off invading Oslo.

The UK will keep the 2 billion dollars of Venezuelan gold reserves.

Trump troops continue to look for a peace prize for their part in conflicts in Iran, Nigeria, Venezuela, Greenland, Colombia, and the USA.

In the age of empire-building and billionaires, peace is at the mercy of an accident. When China lands on Taiwan, the entire world will become accident-prone again.

aurely, China has a right to Taiwan.
What right does britain have to it, Britain invaded it during it their empire days, if Britain has a right to it then China has a right to the isle of wight
The distance from Taiwan to the UK is roughly
9,700 to 9,800 kilometers (about 6,000-6,100 miles) by air, with flight times around 13-16 hours for direct routes, while sea travel covers a much longer distance, approximately 25,000 km (15,700 miles).

Over time, Taiwan has been controlled by the Dutch, Spanish, Qing Dynasty China, and Japan but I can find no references to Britain ever trying to invade Taiwan. Are you mixing it up with Hong Kong, Sandman?

Does the mainland People's Republic of China have a greater right to Taiwan than the Republic of China government currently in charge there?

The future friendship of the US with Greenland will be similar to its past.

Plane crashes through ice with H-bombs
23 January 1968

An American B-52 bomber, believed to be carrying four unarmed hydrogen bombs, crashed in Greenland yesterday. The Pentagon admitted today that the place was carrying nuclear weapons but it declined precisely to identify them. It is believed that the bomber crashed through the ice and took the bombs into the freezing water.

In Copenhagen the Danish government made no attempt to conceal its concern at the incident. The prime minister, Mr Krag, called on Washington for more information and reiterated that his government prohibited nuclear weapons on Danish soil. He added: “This applies to Greenland as well and consequently no aeroplane carrying atom bombs can pass over Greenland territory.”

Radioactive ice cleared by airmen
4 March 1968

United States airmen with shovels and axes have begun the task of moving tons of radioactive snow and ice from the area in Greenland where a B-52 aircraft carrying four hydrogen bombs crashed last month. The snow and ice will be placed in 18,000 gallon sealed metal containers and stored at the Thule airbase in Greenland until it can be removed by ship this summer when Greenland’s coast becomes passable.

The USA cannot be expelled from NATO under the treaty, but there have been discussions and proposed legislation for the U.S. to
withdraw, driven by concerns from some American politicians that NATO is outdated, costly, and involves the U.S. too deeply in European conflicts, with recent actions focusing on forcing European allies to increase defense spending. While no credible evidence suggests NATO officials threatened to expel the U.S., there are reports of European countries planning contingency measures should the U.S. leave, as a U.S. departure would fundamentally alter the alliance.

No. Trump should not be shot. You are allowing yourselves to fall to his appalling level.

He should be tried for his many crimes in a court of law and subject to the full force of said law and be incarcerated for the rest of his miserable life.

Preferably one of his own, but they're more likely to be waiting for the Grim Squeaker to save them the trouble and the paperwork.

Once the offender goes (naturally or otherwise), I foresee an almighty cat-fight; but all we may see of that will be an announcement that he's having medical treatment, and that a committee of three or so is doing a holding exercise. The "treatment" will be embalming, and the triumvirate will rule in his name till they've settled their truel.*

Greenland will become a depository of US nuclear weapons.
If there is an accident, Europe will be in the path of fallout instead of the US.

Get used to tofu since the fishing grounds will be radioactive.
The US has already had nuclear weapons accidents in Greenland back in 1963. 4 hydrogen bombs fell through the ice.
