As usual, the leftys are looking at everything with small-minded, narrow view of 1 piece of the whole puzzle.

The end result is MUCH larger than you seem to be able to fathom. Try imagining what a uniting of the Americas would look like to Russia and China. Yes, that means from Greenland to Argentina. In case you missed it, BlackRock just took over the 2 ports on either side of the Panama Canal kicking the Chinese to the curb.

you better believe greenland is valuable. on the tv show ice cold gold a few years back they discovered veins of rubies, that once were found were taken over from the geenland gvt. Thus shutting down the show. Resources rich is greenland and IMHO corrupt as hell

everything you mentioned is absolutely correct about Trump trash.

 

Greenland & Denmark are alot smarter than that ars_hole ... ,  they'll soon tell him where he can go   !!

Indeed. I was never really on the bandwagon against the guy first time around, but that all changed when he and his little bitch treated a visiting head of state so diabolically--his followers won't get this, but in a grown up diplomatic world, it is all on the host how a meeting goes no matter what is at stake. His whole presidential business philosophy of putting down nations and leaders, like one might do to employees as a new boss in a company--i.e. beat them down to nothing and build them back up--does not wash in the political world against super smart people. He will regret that. What goes around comes around. America could of course flatten us all, or make everybody poor for their benefit, but then what?

 

It is all theatre and negotiation with him, so, regards the op, they will not be buying/taking Greenland; it'll just be more bases and tighter cooperation. Of Canada. F-a-doodle-do! I mean, the supposed most powerful country in the world could not even hold third world Afghanistan! Mess with the Canucks and you'll have everyone on your back. 🙂

He did it before. The Republicans withheld aid in so the Russians could take Adviivka. It was meant to put Ukraine in a weaker position, in order for them to capitulate and sign the minerals deal.

 

What none of the Trump fans dare mention is the parallel between Ukraine and Greenland.

Ukraine onside, is/was good for Europe and the U.S.A. The minerals looked good then too. But it was painted as evil N.A.T.O. moving east.

Now Trump is doing exactly the same thing, but in cahoots with Russia and it's all good. Now eyeing Greenland, Canada.... and his fans go wild. Hypocrisy at it's worst. If the Democrats did the same thing they would be shouting from the rafters and painting it as hegemony.

 

 

 

Interesting. Strange though how this war has been left to plod on with all the weapons available to Biden and the EU early on. The excuse in Europe was we have to keep all these weapons to protect ourselves (from what?) and in the US it was always held up in Congress. Obviously Trump's fault because ........???????

Strange? You think that Biden should have given permission for Ukraine to pound Russia with American weapons from the beginning...and all the Russian threats should have been ignored?

Another one sitting comfortably in their armchair, posting without thinking.

It would look a lot like a green light to empire building.

Greenland’s resources, not America’s, not Trump’s not those of any of the billionaires he works for.

Russia was on the back foot and could've been pushed out of Ukraine early on in the war. Drip feeding of weapons systems has prolonged the war (by design?) by years and has resulted 100's of thousands of extra lives lost.

Again, you ignore the fact that they need to make calculations for each step. You write as if America is a comic book hero. Russia was threatening nuclear retaliation. The goal was not to destroy Russia, but to effect regime change if possible. Wake up and stop posting nonsense.

No nukes would have been used. It's you who seem to lack rational thought. As I said Russian troops could have been pushed back into Russia. No mention of an all out invasion of Russia. Maybe you should read this article.

Did you actually read the article to which you directed me?

 Instead of acting decisively, the West yielded to Putin’s nuclear threats.  

 

 

It's easy to criticise in hindsight. But at the time people are making decisions based on the information they have at the time and remember that not all of the EU was in agreement over what to do.

Don't try to oversimplify everything. We are where we are.

Thank you, I'm doing well, I discharged myself after one day and night, the doc said OK after I performed a shuffle dance in front of him.

And mining licences have been granted, primarily to British companies:

If Denmark chooses to sell Greenland, the UK has first refusal.

 

If the reason the US wants to annex Danish territory is out of concern to national securiry, I'm sure it would have no objection to such a close ally moving in instead.

American mining companies have only secured one mining licence there. Even Australian companies have more licences. I wonder why the US government isn't saying instead how it will actively support US mining licence bids to make them more successful, because they are doing something wrong.

I'd like to remind everyone that Zelenskyy was/is a comedian/actor and Donald Trump once hosted a reality TV show.

Elect a clown, expect a circus.

 

In 800 years under Denmark, nobody has attacked Greenland and nobody has even hinted at using military force against Greenland....until this clown. The claims letting others provide security to Greenland is pretending to fix what isn't broken. Greenland has been plenty secure since Leif Ericsson.

 

And what are US guarantees or even implications of security worth under this clown? The US was helping Ukraine defend itself against Putin until what even Elon Muck's AI Grok says is a "75-85% chance" POTUS is a controlled Russian asset? POTUS has turned against historical allies and aligned with historical foes.

 

Even if POTUS is just an unwitting fool of Putin, the US flip flop from standing up FOR democracy to standing up TO democracy is going to make any nation or territory fearful and suspicious of US intentions and guarantees.

 

NOBODY who ever trusted POTUS ever came out ahead....not his subcontractors, not his junk bond buyers, not his casino employees, not his wives, not his "best people" (e.g., Mattis, Cohn, Kelly, Esper, Sessions, Barr, Tillerson, Milley).....NOBODY.  The US itself was similarly betrayed by such things as his theft of highly classified documents and his attempt to overturn his 2020 election loss.

As usual, the MAGAs are acting as dumb as anyone can be and still...possibly....be classified as the same species as homo sapiens. I think the jury is still out in that regard.

 

Is there something special about the air above Greenland that it can stop ICBMs?

 

In case you hadn't noticed, it's 2025. Siege engines are so Dark Ages. Also, a land invasion might be easy when Russia shares a border with Ukraine, but when there's this big body of water between the US and everybody except our former friends Canada and Mexico, a sneaky invasion or a blitzkrieg is a bit more difficult.

 

Now if Canada decides to invade the US, or perhaps engage in a joint attack with Mexico, the shared land border becomes significant. In addition, lots of Americans would choose to fight with Canada and Mexico against the fascist and imperialistic MAGA clowns.

I can see why you're bitter, being nearly homeless and all. It always seems to slip some people's minds that at least 1/2 of ICBMs are onboard ships and submarines. (I served. Did you?) These forms of launch vehicles need water. By controlling the land, air and sea from the north pole to the south pole gives the US a great advantage and a powerful deterrent to attacks.

Never seen you crying and wetting your depends over the formation of the EU. (an obvious failure)

Russia also shares a border with Poland but they didn't cross that because? NATO.

Russia is concerned about NATO because? America.

If America pulls out of NATO...? Russia would own most of Europe.

The days of "Please America, Save Us BUT we demand you do this and that when saving us..." are gone. Get used to it. As you said, it's 2025. You've had 80+ yrs to learn how to pull your own pants up. Tick...Tick...Tick. 🤠
