I know that the president talked about potentially annexing Greenland… but maybe I missed it somewere,,, when and where was it said that the United States was taking it by force??
Is this just some bla bla narrative that someone cooked up ??

As near as I can tell, this is a preemptive move to prevent Russia, China or other to establish any presence in western hemisphere. There may be natural resources and tt has a strategic location near navigation (air and sea) corridors between US and Europe. Don't want another Cuba......and Russian presence in Cuba is about to take a hit as well. It turns out both China and Russia had big presence in Venezuela already. That is about to go away too. Some heretofore sacred cows are going to slaughter.

But as for Greenland, everything is a negotiation. First marker thrown down was grossly obscene and unthinkable..........leading to what may eventually become an exclusive right to a military base along lines of what we have in Okinawa.


Easy to vote your way into socialism, but impossible to vote your way out of it.

I’m pretty sure the USA has the right to have as much military presence as they want in Greenland. They along with Denmark are the only 2 countries with such things based on a 1951 agreement between the 2. It’s imperialism wrapped up in something else.

Greenland is rich in natural resources.

If Canada would pull their weight we might not have to have Greenland for national security. But nope, they want to play manchild petulant. So we'll get Greenland set up a strong defense and Canada will still not say thank you.

You don't need to take Greenland for National Security if that's your big worry. You already have an agreement to have a military base there and could have more bases. So yeah, "taking Greenland" is not necessary. I doubt wholeheartedly anyone in this swamp that was to be drained would see increased wealth with the taking of Greenland. lol

But Culture Wars drive political affiliation so go ahead and make it about the manchild petulant. lol

Canada is going to become mutiple Indian or Chinese controlled smaller countries, unless they do something drastic. They relatively soon will be done as a united country ruled by people of European descent.

If we get Greenland, it will be by giving the people a great deal to join us, even though we could take it in hours.

Be sweet if we could put illegals in northern Greenland until they asked to be sent back to their homeland.

There's been talk of making them all rich if they join the US. It would be a mostly win for both countries.

So let them decide,,

If they’re anything like the indig in northern Canada?? Pretty sure they are very similar

Makeing them rich isn’t going to solve their problems,,,, only make it worse



They need purpose and opportunity

The US could and would provide

Hmm...I wonder how many of you would be ok if the government annexed your properties? Lots cheering over all the imperialism going on lately. How many will keep that same energy when the tables are turned

My heart doesn't bleed enough to think it's not a great idea for the US to annex Greenland and I'm not a fool enough to not see major advantages for both countries.

What do you have logically against it, besides pointless feelings?

Your might makes right attitude tells a lot about you. Deep down you have no loyalties, only self preservation. You're the kind of guy who will eat your best friends in the apocalypse. Watch out for them snakes in the grass

Most suffering in the world comes from going off of feelings, rather than rational thought. That is evil.

The US isn't going to take Greenland by force. The people would be very well compensated. Russia and China would not hesitate to take Greenland, if they thought we would allow it. Greenland has no ability to defend itself. The people of Greenland have no ability to develop necessary infrastructure.

Liberal ideals lead to generations of people suffering and starving. Thoughtlessly feeding a literal problem doesn't make it go away. It just grows into a bigger problem.

Real solutions need rational thought, tempered with kindness in application. The answer to most problems is a bit of both, but intelligent thought needs to be the larger part.

So you fourm your opinion based on feelings and emotions. Since you have not a single item to list on how or why you cane to that opinion its logical you "feel" like you do because its how you were told to feel.

Women base their decisions based on emotions and feelings more than reason and logic.

Grow a pair and become informed enough to support your position with a logical reasoning fact based approach.

I personality dont know enough about it to fourm an opinion. So admit that and don't spout off showcasing my ignorance.
