Not since Hitler and the Nazis, has the leader of a major power said openly that they intend to annex and expropriate territory and countries, it has no historical territorial claim to. Donald Trump is openly acting like Hitler and the Nazis.

I am not saying Russia and China are right, but they do have historical territorial claims to Ukraine and Taiwan, because they used to be part of their countries. Whereas the US has no historical territorial claims to Canada or Greenland, as they've never been part of the US.

In fact, there is a huge moral problem with historical territorial claims to other countries or territories, but that is another issue. I am only saying there is some basis to their claims. But there is none to the demands of Trump and the US regime. Pure gangsterism.

Trump may claim he wants to buy these territories and countries, but this is backed up by threats of violence and military invasion if they do not agree. These are the actions of a gangster. Give me what I want, or I will take it illegally by violence.

If anyone disputes what I say, name one other major power, since WW2, which has been demanding countries and territory, it has no historical territorial claims to, just because they want them? Trump is the new Hitler.

The reason the leaders of other Western countries are refusing to challenge Trump or spell out how he is acting, is that they are obsessed with economic growth above all else, and fear Trump imposing tariffs on them or other sanctions.

As I say, Donald Trump is openly acting like a gangster, by making it clear if he doesn't get what he wants, then there are threats of vindictive actions, including military threats. No other major power, since Hitler, has done this. It is a might is right basis.

Trump has a long history of such criminality and use of violent gangster type intimidation. When Trump lost the 2020 election, he incited violent insurrection, on Capitol Hill, where a violent mob, who had just listened to him speak tried to storm Congress, to stop the vote being ratified. They planned to hang the Vice President.

As I say, no other leader of a major power has done this, since Hitler. To say that the Trump regime is acting like Hitler and the Nazis is not exaggeration, or hyperbole, it is objective fact. People are silent, because they fear the consequences of speaking up.
