When last we met, dear mates, the POSOTUS had been awarded the prestigious, first-ever FIFA Peace Prize.
It was a sad display of the international
Nonetheless, U.S. Sycophant of State, Little Marco Rubio, has announced a growing list of nations that are being prevented from traveling to the U.S., so we’ll see what comes of it.
Despite receiving this suck-up gift from FIFA, which he displays proudly in his “Liberace on Acid” Oval Office, Trumpf still laments that he has not received the Nobel Peace Prize.
As you will recall, the 2025 prize was awarded to Maria Corina Machado for her work in trying to bring democracy to Venezuela.
Yes, the same Venezuela that U.S. forces recently bombed and kidnapped their President and First Lady. In a dick-tatorial move, Trumpf appointed Venezuela’s Vice President to be the token leader as he claims he is now running the country.
CAPTAIN’S NOTE: I know our own Congress has abdicated their responsibility in running our country, but where is the rest of the world? Why are they allowing this to happen?!?
His first order of business was to confiscate a tanker of Venezuelan oil and sell it for $500 million, which he has secreted away in a Qatari bank, totally under his control.
Not a peep from Congress.
Or anyone else.
Realizing Venezuela was going to be raped by Trumpf’s imperialist incursion, Machado agreed to give her Nobel Peace Prize to him.
It will hereafter be called “The Appease Prize”.
The Nobel committee has repeatedly confirmed that the prize is non-transferrable. Machado may give away her medallion, but it is her name forever written in the official record.
As expected, Trumpf received the gift with his usual greedy gregariousness.
He must have received a lot of participation trophies when he was a kid!
Which caused an outpouring of AI-generated images mocking him.
Still, in the end, Trumpf made clear he was not going to turn over Venezuela to Machado.
She walked out of the White House with her consolation prize, a Trumpf “swag bag”.
Hey, thanks for playing!
He has since met with U.S. oil barons to divide up the spoils of war in Venezuela.
CAPTAIN’S NOTE: The oil in Venezuela, though plentiful, is not highly coveted. The infrastructure in Venezuela is in disrepair. And the political climate, now that Trumpf has destabilized the nation, is discouraging U.S. Big Oil from getting excited about this new venture.
It is curious that we haven’t blown up any more alleged drug-running fishing boats since Trumpf took control of the oil.
Trumpf continues to look for his own Nobel Peace Prize, while at the same time making threatening noises toward Greenland.
Greenland!
He says the U.S. needs to possess Greenland for “security reasons”.
It doesn’t matter that the U.S. has several unused military bases on Greenland.
It doesn’t matter that Greenland is a member of NATO.
It doesn’t matter that a U.S. attack on Greenland will bring down the wrath of other NATO nations, who have sworn to defend the island nation against a U.S. invasion.
Such an attack would essentially end NATO and plays into the hands of Russia and China.
It just doesn’t matter! Trumpf has become obsessed with possessing Greenland!
CAPTAIN’S NOTE: The island of Greenland is not as large as it appears on most maps. The flaw of the Mercator Projection that most of us grew up looking at is that it distorts land masses above and below the equator. It makes Greenland look to be as large as Africa.
In reality, you could fit four “Greenlands” within the borders of Africa.
And the truth is, Trumpf wants the island not for its strategic location but for its rare-earth minerals.
Greenland has offered to sell these minerals to the U.S., but Trumpf wants to OWN them.
He apparently hasn’t been told that China tried to mine the minerals years ago and gave up because it just wasn’t worth the massive effort it would take.
Trumpf has publicly stated he would possess Greenland, and “we can do it the easy way or the hard way!”
He has floated the idea of paying each person in Greenland $100,000.
Yes, while depriving citizens in the U.S. of their health insurance.
And telling Americans they can eat on only $3 per meal if they just cut back to “a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, a corn tortilla, and something else”.
The Captain needs to ask all you MAGAts out there, is America great yet?
U.S. officials have put a $700 billion price tag on the island, but Greenland and Denmark insist it is not for sale.
So now “the Peace President” is threatening to take the island nation by force.
NATO countries have mobilized military assets in preparation to defend Greenland’s autonomy, and the Council of Europe, a parallel organization to NATO, has said it will do whatever it takes to defend Greenland.
Not to be deterred, Trumpf has levied tariffs on all the
NATO nations standing in his way, threatening that the tariffs will remain
until he the U.S. possesses Greenland.
CAPTAIN’S NOTE: Not surprising, Canada recently signed a trade agreement with China, making a clear declaration that the world doesn’t need the U.S. anymore.
Which brings us to today.
On Sunday, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre sent a text message to Trumpf asking him to tone down the rhetoric:
“Dear Donald – on the contact across the Atlantic – on Greenland, Gaza, Ukraine – and your tariff announcement yesterday. You know our position on these issues… But we believe we all should work to take this down and de-escalate – so much is happening around us where we need to stand together. We are proposing a call with you later today – with both of us or separately – give us a hint of what you prefer! Best – Alex and Jonas.” [Alex being Finland’s president, Alexander Stubb.]
“Dear Donald” responded in his typical manner:
Prime Minister Støre sadly confirmed the response from Trumpf and told the press this morning:
“Norway’s position on Greenland is clear. Greenland is a part of the Kingdom of Denmark, and Norway fully supports the Kingdom of Denmark on this matter. We also support that NATO in a responsible way is taking steps to strengthen security and stability in the Arctic.
“As regards the Nobel Peace Prize, I have clearly explained, including to president Trump what is well known, the prize is awarded by an independent Nobel Committee and not the Norwegian Government.”
As if that is not enough for one blog, Trumpf has announced the creation of a “Peace Board” to determine the future of Gaza now that Israel has almost totally destroyed the area and annihilated the people living there.
No, the Captain does not know by what right Trumpf is doing this.
You will recall, the Captain asked the same about Venezuela and got no response.
Of course, he has appointed himself chairman of the board.
And the buy-in from other nations that want to have input is $1 billion.
France has already said, "Non merci!"
There are no details about what the Board’s purpose is, nor how the money will be spent.
You can be sure a future Trumpf Hotel will be in the plans.
Mates, yer Captain still doesn’t understand how we got here.
And so fast!
World War III is looming and this time the U.S. is the bad guy!
And it is all because of one man, Donald Trumpf.
but no one -neither here nor across the Pond – is moving to stop him.
Lord have mercy!
