Trump's minions are laying the groundwork for military action

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

79% : His Defense Secretary nominee, Pete Hegseth, put it in terms Trump probably liked very much.
76% : Trump appears to have taken some inspiration from Vladimir Putin's Ukraine invasion which he thought from the beginning made perfect sense.
67% : Trump wants it and he's going to make it so.
56% : And when asked in the press conference if Trump actually planned to seize the island, and the Panama Canal as well, Trump said it was necessary for national security, the same rationale Vladimir Putin used to invade Ukraine which Trump called "savvy" and "genius" at the time.
56% : He is also quite serious about using U.S. troops to stage military operations in Mexico, ostensibly against the drug cartels.
43% : But Trump is stirring up a tremendous amount of resentment for no good reason.
41% : With Trump saying that the U.S. needs Greenland and the Panama Canal for national security reasons it's pretty clear that they are laying the groundwork for military action.
34% : Earlier in the day we had all been treated to reports that Donald Trump Jr. and activist Charlie Kirk had been dispatched to Greenland to take the temperature of locals to see if they wanted to be annexed by Donald Trump.
33% : It is quite clear that Trump is serious about this.
28% : But generally, beyond kvetching endlessly about NATO not "paying its dues" and crowing about his love affairs with all the world's worst despots, Trump really didn't have a foreign policy.
26% : Well, Trump has something to replace it now.
20% : That concept is no longer operative under Donald Trump.
