Greenland!

[funkymonkey1111]

I'm as big a Trump supporter as there is, but this Greenland narrative being put out by the administration seems truly unhinged.

Bomb Iran? No problem--an unstable islamo-terror funder. Grab Maduro? Sure, he's a narcoterrorist under indictment.

But wanting to "buy" Greenland when it isn't for sale, and continuing to state that military action is not "off the table" is unseemly. There will always be support in the US for the just fight--we, the "good guys" against evil. But does Dunroe think that there is going to be popular support for miliary action against a peaceable territory controlled by a NATO ally? It borders on the absurd.

Who knows? Maybe there's some method to the madness, but I sure am missing part of the plan here.

What say you?

The guys in the military that are on the frontline of a distraction are the ones in the worst place to be.

I flew over Greenland a few years ago. It would be a great place for a prison. If you managed to escape, large white bears will eat you.

Seriously,unless the island is critical to fighting a war with space aliens, leave it alone.

There used to be a saying in the Air Force, you screw up and they send you to Thule Air Base.

I really don't understand this. We already have a base there. Why irritate Denmark and the rest of Europe for this? There are other defense issues that should be resolved.

Probably some large oil company/mining conglomerate found some values in resources. Or the IC says Russia has some plans for Greenland. I spent a lot of time in the UK and the European Royals controlled British Petroleum (BP). They were granted concessions in the Royal Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The US and its 100 billion dollar intelligence community have huge data gathering resources, so there is no telling what they know about Greenland. Over 800,000 square miles of untapped resources is huge.

If the administration continues talking this nonsense we can say goodbye to POGO (the Unclass callsign for the DoD Satellite Control Network (SCN) antenna site). The visibility/coverage POGO provides for U.S. satellite's in necessary for our national and for allied national security. If the rhetoric continues, I suspect Greenland will kick us out of Pituffik Space Base, formerly known as Thule Air Base. We really don't want that.

I liken this talk of acquiring Greenland to China's talk of taking over Taiwan. It doesn't sit well with Greenland any more than China's talk sits well with Taiwan. Even worse, it looks bad on the international scene.

Clearly we're missing a huge piece to the global picture in what's behind all of this talk and I absolutely hope it isn't about exploiting natural resources.

I keep reading that the Arctic sea ice is melting and that Arctic corridor needs to be protected.

Also, seems to be a race to lock up rare earth minerals, which Greenland has.

Anyone remember the Amero Coin?

Imho the primary concern is Russian exploitation and advantage in the Arctic...

But we already have agreements with Denmark, it doesn't really matter if Greenland is "ours" to counter that.

So, it's most likely EGO, wanting to carve the name Trump into some land somewhere and call it the "Trump's Greeniana Purchase", while also, yes, distracting from disasters that the admin doesn't want people to go mining deeper into, and also intentionally appearing to be a loose cannon internationally, kind of like the crazy guy in a latin gang, e.g. don't mess with Trump Mange, or mention Epstein, he might just invade London, instead invest in his crypto currency and curry favors like Indonesia and a few other countries, cause he crazy mange.

I don't think he has any actual intent of military action in Greenland. It's all BS.

Thule is ~6deg closer to the pole than Bardufoss.
