Looks like Tom Cotton was catfished by Russians trying to create discord among Western democracies. And sold the idea to Trump, who jumped on it without questions. Boy did we have 4 years of amateur hour.

The report cited a 2019 incident of a forged letter purporting to be from Greenland's foreign minister to a U.S. senator saying an independence referendum was in the offing.

"It is highly likely that the letter was fabricated and shared on the Internet by Russian influence agents, who wanted to create confusion and a possible conflict between Denmark, the USA and Greenland," it said.
Denmark accuses Russia, China, Iran of espionage threat
 
I agreed with the idea of annexing Greenland and making it our 51st State.

Maybe it was intended as just a prank as you suggest.

But neither here nor there, it still sounds like a good strategy. Greenland is strategically located with a lot of natural resources.
 
How's that? what did trump do for Putin?
Turned out country into a dysfunctional family with no baseline of facts, weakened NATO and our alliances, gave him public cover with his praise and subordination to Putiin...for starters

You can thank Democrats and the liberal news media for that, not Trump. A prime example of that, is the taking out of context Trump's response to what happened at Charlottesville. Lies 24/7 and purposely omitting the part where Trump condemned white supremists. Thats one example, the Russian Collusion fiasco is another.


weakened NATO and our alliances,

What? called them out for who they are? and telling them they need to pay their fair share?
He simply challenged them to be better.

gave him public cover with his praise and subordination to Putiin...for starters

Give me a break. That was called diplomacy. Unlike Biden who calls Putin a Killer , but cant back anything up and is now enabling Putin to have his way with Ukraine,.... Trump said some nice things publicly about Russia, but that would be intended to reduce tensions later. His actual policies were to arm Ukraine militarily and to put a stop to that oil pipeline. A war of words really gets you no where. Actual tough policies gain you more respect. Right now Putin knows Biden is weak, he can pretty much tell there will be little will for resistance should they invade Ukraine.

Haha, desperate cultist spin.

Why even ask the question? You are just going to dip into the cult fantasy well and shit on any answers given. Because that's what you think you are supposed to do.
 
Attacked American Democracy
Disrupted NATO
Started a trade war
Yet our NATO ally the UK did not hold Trump in contempt of parliament. Our NATO ally France did not withdraw their ambassador. Both happened on Biden's watch. Tell me again who disrupted NATO?

Biden's trade war is against Americans, through inflation and empty shelves.
 
Russia dangled Greenland in front of Trump

Master of Real Estate Trump wondered if he could trade Puerto Rico for it
 
The Arctic has increasing geopolitical importance, with Russia, China and the United States vying for access to natural resources, sea lanes, research and militarily strategic areas.

explains a lot....

Here it is for you, the whole quote, and you can damn well bet CNN and MSNBC only focused on the words
"there were very fine people on both sides"

the cultist is YOU. you HAVE to believe Trump is evil or some crap no matter what you see. There were people there who were protesting the removal of statues. Your cult has to conveniently believe anyone who feels that way is a white supremist or neo-nazi

“You had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides. You had people in that group … There were people in that rally — and I looked the night before — if you look, there were people protesting very quietly the taking down of the statue of Robert E. Lee. I’m sure in that group there were some bad ones. The following day it looked like they had some rough, bad people — neo-Nazis, white nationalists, whatever you want to call them. But you had a lot of people in that group that were there to innocently protest, and very legally protest.”

Very fine people attend White Supremacy rallies?

The night before was the Trump Nazi Tiki Torch rally shouting very loudly "Jews will not replace us" which, of course, had nothing to do with American traitor Lee! None of Trump's Nazis were very fine people!
 

Donald Trump asked him and other officials whether the U.S. could swap Greenland for Puerto Rico because, in Trump's words, "Puerto Rico was dirty and the people were poor."

The exchange happened in August 2018 before DHS officials went on a disaster recovery trip to Puerto Rico, which had been devastated by hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017, Taylor said.


"I did not take it as a joke," Taylor said. "The president expressed deep animus towards the Puerto Rican people behind the scenes. These are people who are recovering from the worst disaster we've seen in our lifetimes, and he is their president. He should be standing by them, not trying to sell them off to a foreign country."
