Trump deal to purchase Greenland?

[pianopraze]

Oh that's encouraging, let's keep military action against (current) NATO ally Denmark on the table for control of oil reserves and mining rights, I'm guessing. Are we bringing back lebensraum or something?

I’m just enjoying the show

Well Trump is stating that the acquisition of Greenland is for national security...from whom? Russia? Does Russia have any ships left? lol

We would just need Ukrainian tactical manouevers and implementing it from land, if would appear. lol

From China? It appears China is partoling alongside Russia near Alaska...poking the eagle?

The operation took place during China’s national holiday, according to a military channel on state broadcaster CCTV. While Russia has yet to officially confirm the event, the US Coast Guard reported that on September 29, two Russian and two Chinese ships were spotted passing through the Bering Sea, which separates Russia from Alaska.

From North Korea? Really?

I would say Trump is after natural resources and wants to drill-drill-drill there too.

Any war or conflict in the Arctic would immediately involve all NATO countries, so I think it is well covered without the U.S. having to 'safeguard' it all up there - but that's not the real reason he wants Greenland and Canada.

Lol. I am really trying to. This is funny because it's insane.

Like he thinks he can broker a takeover of Danish territory. Panama, the canal, we could probably buy out, but Danish are so prideful and nationalistic themselves, that they'd put up every road block to keep their resources untapped and out of US control.

He's funny because we wants to be The Greatest President Ever. It's less frightening because you can tell in his mind this is like his Louisiana Purchase and he's manifest destiny reborn like George Washington's coast to coast vision.

And maybe like with the first Louisiana Purchase he's buying a place to send all the undocumented migrants? Like Oklahoma became primarily "the place to move unwanted indigenous peoples to have more room for white anglo-saxon protestant habitation," Greeland could be where he sends all the unwanted migrants and even people who disagree with him.. it could be like his own Siberia. Force them to work in mines even?

Yes, that's off the wall, but I can't really put him past proposing even that.

Didnt Biden just do something to stop his drilling here?

Maybe he wants it so he can drill there…

Everyone seems set on WW3. Hope I can get a boat back before it starts. Damn Covid forcing us out of the country and had to sell mine. *sigh*

He truly is the Master Troll. He really should start a troll training farm. He’d make money hand over fist.

He’s bullshitting about all of them — except the Panama Canal. I believe him on that one. And he won’t take it over. He will just negotiate a better deal, than the one we have. Interesting, how he mentioned that word ‘negotiate’ A LOT. 

In negotiations, always start high or low at the beginning (depending on whether buying or selling something). It’s called posturing. It enables you to see how far your opposition will go. Many times, I’m pleasantly surprised that the people were willing to agree to such a low price, on my low-ball offer. It’s all about realizing who has the ‘hammer’ which is the person with the power. Different circumstances predicate this. At the moment, Trump has the Hammer. Using military force on a NATO country, could potentially change that. That’s why I know he’s trolling. He is a raging narcissist, but not an idiot.

Yes, Biden forboden a large area (as Trump says "as big as an ocean") but Trump said he'll reverse that on Day 1, so that's not it.

I thought it was the debt that he needs to deal with hence his drill-drill-drill shtick, but he said he will remove the debt ceiling so that can't be it either, unless he knows he can't pay off the debt and/or reduce inflation/food prices etc. within four years. So, yeah, he will need to drill-drill-drill in Canada and Greenland and offshore everywhere he can to make a quick impact for which the American people mandated him into that position. He needs money for the coffers and lots of it. Make sense?

There won't be a WW3 at least not the WW3 we all think it will be in the Arctic, because IMO it will be modern warfare on water and/or from space. If you notice how Russia and North Korea do warfare, they are 70 years behind the times. China may be a different thing but who knows if their warfare is modern or not, perhaps cyber is their new modern warfare.

I read an article once as to why China does not invade Taiwan and basically it was because warfare on water would be extremely difficult for China, being the aggressor. Sitting ducks?

I know one thing, Ukraine embraces modern technological warfare and what with all their experience, we all need them to be part of NATO.

If this were to happen, the lyrics of "This Land Is Your Land" would have to be rewritten.

If this were to happen, the lyrics of "This Land Is Your Land" would have to be rewritten.

lyrics to the saong:

"There was a big, high wall there that tried to stop me
A sign was painted said "Private Property"
But on the backside, it didn't say nothing
This land was made for you and me"



Canada and Greenland = "Private Property"

I’m libertarian… well the kind that loves Ron Paul and thinks that thing they pretended was a libertarian candidate was a leftist piece of ….

I’ll just end there before I break T&C..


anyway. I’m laughing at all sides and everything going on. None of this represents me. I’m a minute representativeless meme. Well other than a few libertarians in Congress going under other names who are mostly ignored and out voted by both sides.

Hope Trump ends overtime tax, social security tax and tip tax like he promised… rest of it…
