Trump deal to purchase Greenland?

China is always ahead and behind.

They do amazing things… and the buildings collapse from corruption in construction and the electronics last just to the end of the warranty period if your lucky… 

Chinese society is Chinese society.

It's true, Chinese society is mainly focused on themselves - until they are forced to look up.

Russia on the other hand is focused on foreign acquisition, why?, because it seems Russians have an enormous enriched land mass with not enough citizens to get at the resources. Could they be looking for people from other countries for their work force?

Trump talking about acquiring both Greenland and Canada today. Lol

Here is Greenland: Twitter video

NEW: Danish officials are "utterly freaked out" & in "crisis mode" after Trump told them he intends to acquire Greenland during a 45-min call. Trump was firm in his pursuit to acquire Greenland during a call with Denmark's prime minister, according to the Financial Times. Five European officials who were briefed about the call were in shock to find that Trump is serious about acquiring Greenland. The officials hoped he was joking, or his statements were just a negotiating tactic. "[Trump] was very firm. It was a cold shower. Before, it was hard to take it seriously. But I do think it is serious and potentially very dangerous," one official reportedly said. "The intent was very clear. They want it. The Danes are now in crisis mode. The Danes are utterly freaked out by this." "It was a very tough conversation. He threatened specific measures against Denmark such as targeted tariffs."

Here is Canada: Twitter video

Trump: I would love to see Canada become the 51st state… the Canadian citizens… would have much better health coverage. I think the people of Canada would like it.. If we did that, there would be no tariffs

As reluctant as the citizens of those nations are to become US states and as skeptical as most Americans are, I don't see any plausible scenario where the US army decides to attack them.  (and if we did, we'd have NATO and likely the Chinese and Russians as well coming down on us.  Putin probably wouldn't mind grabbing Alaska.)

Trump reminds me of one of the trolls from the Hobbit!   


Right now, this planet reminds me of a bad comedy version of the Hobbit because it isn't good that one of the trolls is in charge.  


Anyway, I hope he will help vaccine victims, and I also hope that he will stop the war with Russia - if he can do that then he is a "good" troll,  but if he starts a war with us then he isn't better than the ones he criticizes!

I could explain more, but I think everybody needs to investigate this themselves instead!

Danes are just like the Americans; some are good, some are bad, and some are indifferent.

A-holes comes in all colors.

Haha!

I was right: Twitter linky

BREAKING: Trump: I want Ukraine to give US rare earths.

Trump's strategy in smack-talking everything under the sun is, get eveyone sidetracked while he gets breathing room to do what he actually intends in quiet. While Greenland is of strategic & possible resourse importance for the US, there's several major problems with it. 

One is it's entirely dependent on Denmark for 90% of it's goods. Not sure we can afford to take that on. 

Secondly the US has historically treated our own Indiginous Peoples horribly an Greenland is mostly Indiginous. So I have real ethical concerns. 

Thirdly the resourses Trump thinks we'd gain are locked under miles of ice. 

Trumps goofing about Canada becoming our 51st state is a riot tho. Anyone wanna tell him 80% of it is Crown Lands? Can't see the UK being ok with just letting it go. I'm also shocked not one podcaster or even Fox News or News Nation hasn't pointed that out. Canada is still part of the UK's Commonwealth.

Bigtalk about Canada, Greenland, and Panama, and continuing Middle East policy, hmm maybe just coincidence that everything there is moving to a lock on the world's three major trade-route bottlenecks -- the Panama Canal, the Suez Canal, and the Northwest Passage? Maybe the talk about resource extraction is secondary, or distracting gravy.
