Hey, Ken o the Woods is using the internet! Isn't that a product of industry?

Well... regarding Greenland, I propose that we trade California for it.

We are all related to each other and probably mostly traceably so. Ol Dad is my 7th Cousin, Once removed on his mother's side. I think a DNA test would say we are second or third cousins, because of all the shared ancestry

How do I accomplish this? Do I salute every time I need to cut a tree? Wear my Sunday best? Say a little prayer before?

My approach has always been using a sharp versus dull saw. Quick and painless from what I can tell.

Sorry if it has been stated, I haven’t read through it all, this one really blew up.

But………you have the base and the treaty already for Pete’s sake. You’ve had it for longer thanthan almost everyone on this site has been alive.

I'll almost forgive him if he VOTES, and its conservative.

you realize that Denmark owns Greenland and will not give it up and that NATO stands behind them if the USA wanted to take it yes it could without opposition but in the same sense if they did they probably would loose all there trading partners as most are part of NATO yes the the USA spends a couple of trillion on defense every year but the next 25 are all its allies all part of NATO

We dont need anything from NATO states.

Its all pretty simple. Once we have Greenland stacked up with military. Then we have Canada pretty much surrounded. Simply be cake walk taking that over annex it.

Mac

This is ridiculously ignorant. lol

And the US has been funding most of nato for decades when those members have not been meeting their obligations. They all of a sudden started stepping uo theire defense spending when Trum said if your not paying your part dont expect us to defend you.

NATO is not crap without the US backing

Further more the US should not be in it to begain with. Its a bunch of free loaders that offer very little in return for the US defending them.

Why did the whole United States taking Greenland by force even become a thing?
All I’ve seen or read is monetary compensation to acquire it.
Why would other so called NATO countries be mad if it’s an agreement between Denmark and the USA?
Not saying it’s going to happen..

I just can’t understand where this suggestive idea even came about.

What do we buy from Europe that we cant do here?

Almost nothing thats not alcohol(wine, beer and whiskey).

Just more mase up bs to rant about by those that dont like the US. Another distraction to keep the sheep from the.... what's been coming out this time?? O ya fraud. Has to be Another outrageous headline about eveery 3 weeks or so.

While I agree that the USA has been and is the most important cog in the NATO wheel, I'd hardly call 16% of overall funding, "funding most of nato". Look that up, don't look at the graphs that populists create that try to show how the USA makes up most of the funding as those graphs actually display military spending and try to mislead as NATO spending.

Heck, I'll save you the simple google search.
The United States contributes approximately 16% of NATO's direct, common-funded budget, which is the same share as Germany, the next largest contributor. This arrangement, implemented in 2021, reduced the U.S. share from its previous rate of around 22%.
This common funding (approximately €4.6 billion in 2024) covers the operating costs of NATO's headquarters, joint military exercises, and shared capabilities.

Well, we're a NATO state as you stated.
In the past 5 years, 1 in every 20 homes there is powered by Canadian Uranium.
There are literally millions of American jobs dependent on Canadian energy.
Basically a tenth of all the natural gas demand in the US comes from north.

From Europe, many different minerals that you don't produce enough of , just look it up.

I could go on and on and on and on, but what's the point. I'm sure all of the stuff you currently need and get from Nato states could be replaced in the blink of an eye.

When we get winds from the South this weekend ...I'll stick my sniffah out the window..

And report back.

You dont have much choice on where to sell your oil, or the price. If you think well take greenland by force, what do you think we'd do with canada since most of your population lives with a few days walk from the border

I never said we had a whole bunch of choice. We do sell to Asia too and the pipeline isn't even at capacity so hopefully we fill er up and start moving more oil that way. However we've been duped into thinking we had this great arrangement beneficial to both countries for many years, ( it likely was very beneficial to both) but maybe relying on that was very wrong and hopefully we diversify and rectify that situation.

But......... weren't you just stating that you NEEDED NOTHING FROM NATO STATES, now you're moving the goalposts on the statement. You're on the internet using this website buddy, use it to learn some stuff.
