Greenland USA

[SomeStupidName]

Russia?  With no aircraft carrier and poor logistics and given their failure to take a country next door, I can't see them being a threat to Greenland.

Would China risk WW3?

I think their focus is on Taiwan.

A move against Taiwan would start WW3. Russia may be a shadow of what it was but that doesn't mean they get any kind of free pass.

True.  Interesting times....

I think a major factor here is the Northwest Passage. Currently, it's traversable for about half of the year. But by mid-century, it is predicted to be traversable year-round. When shipping goods from Asia to, say, New York City, the shipping route through the Northwest Passage is 5000km shorter than going through the Panama Canal. That's huge! It's quite important because, while America has significant West Coast ports, those ports really don't have access to inland water routes like the East Coast ports do. They're fine for lightweight consumer goods, but for import/export of bulk materials from the midlands, they require expensive transport via roadway or rail. With the East Coast ports, the extensive network of connecting waterways and canals are much cheaper, if not offset by increase shipping distance at sea. The Northwest Passage provides that advantage, and this I think is why Trump is considering that US securing and protecting intermediate ports on Baffin Bay is essential to national security in the coming decades.

Waterways, waterways—I tell ya, it's about securing the world's trade bottlenecks under American control. Panama Canal, Suez Canal, Northwest Passage—there's a common theme running through Trump 'crazy' foreign policy.

Makes sense, it's likely a primary reason/excuse, just one of many ...

seems fairly urgent, though, possibly something time sensitive.

Overall security is paramount, took a wander on Discord rumors, semi-real concerns about China drone mothership that could launch thousands of drones for various targets 

Rumors of a new updated Russian sub specifically for Arctic waters

UFO UAP-related stuff to everything in between

It looks like Trump may be forced into having to make a deal, something which he needs a refresher course in.

Anyone else think it's a mega-f*cked transition into an alternative doom reality that the statement:

"Europe having to perform exercises against their primary threat, The United States."

Is even being made? 

Some concept of reciprocal hygge we have culturally.

But before i see "the end of the world as we know it" in a literal sense, I should look at the "arctic contingent" being sent...

• France: ~15 mountain infantry specialists.
• Germany: 13 reconnaissance personnel.
• Sweden: Three officers.
• Norway: Two personnel.
• United Kingdom: One officer.
• Netherlands: One naval officer.
• Finland: Two military liaison officers. 

Revised Statement - Anyone else think it's STILL a mega-f*cked transition into an alternative doom reality that the statement:

"Europe having to send (a minimum of token representatives) to (counter-posture) against their primary (cause for concern), The United States."

Is even being made? 

Why do they even have to show solidarity to show us anything? Why should this even be a thing with NATO countries?

Please, Party of Christ The Savior, tell the truth, it will make Jesus smile...

The Trump administration has invested significant government funds (Defense Dept, Commerce) into companies like MP Materials (MP), the largest U.S. rare earth mine, and Lithium Americas (LAC), to bolster domestic critical mineral supply chains.

 

The government acquired a 10% equity stake in Trilogy Metals.

For Vulcan Elements and ReElement Technologies, the government received equity stakes and warrants (the right to buy stock in the future at a set price) as part of a financing deal. 

Why not bring those interests up too, instead giving Denmark (and the world) Veruca Salt's Ultimatum?
 

I want the world
I want the whole world
I want to lock it all up by my night-light
It's my bar of graphite
Give it to me now

I want today
I want tomorrow
I want to wear 'em like toupees on my head.
And I don't want to share 'em!

I want a party with roomfuls of suck-ups
Ten thousand tons of play things
And if I don't get the things I have brought up
I'm going to SCREAM!

I want the mines
I want the whole mine
Bases and pipelines
With suites on new airlines
Attention and headlines
And NOW!

Don't care how, I want it now!
DON'T CARE HOW, I WANT IT NOW!

I dont think Trump would start a war for resources that around 85% of Americans oppose... unless he's planning on holding on to power by ending democratic elections.

Though it is really nice he's acknowledging global warming.  I mean, there wouldn't be a melting ice-caused growing need for arctic strategy without it...

To be fair, these countries are just doing military exercises 'just in case' scenario ...because Russia and China bad... and to show Trump that they have the Arctic secured to get him off their backs.

Everyone is of the same mind when it comes to Russia and China in the Arctic because they are very aggressive there with what they think are their territories - from what I've read.

If the Greenlanders want to sell their country or make a deal with USA, it's none of anyone else's business IMO. Although I'm not too sure Denmark would agree with the selling part.

Or am I being naive? You tell me IdeomotorPrisoner...is this the following statement just opinion/hyperbole?

""Europe having to perform exercises against their primary threat, The United States."

[Thetruth]

I vote for Greenland USA!

51st state!

Booyah!

The people of Greenland have said they do not want to be Americans.  

They are the ones that should decide the insane maniac you call a president.

USA has bases in Greenland and a treaty that says you are alowed to expand them. Settle with that.

I think it should be a state and the Minnesota Vikings should move there!

[SteamyAmerican]

Denmark should tell Trump if he releases the Epstein Files in their entirety, they’d be willing to exchange Greenland.

[Creaky]

That’s right, Greenland should do it because the Americans are to cowardly to demand it for themselves 
Cop out

I 'm confused as to why tRump can't understand.

Greenlanders only want to prevent an invasion and take-over by those 'Southern' Americans:

"When it sends its people, they're not sending their best... They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with them. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists... And some, I assume, are good people."
