Greenland says they don't want to join America

[BULLDOG]

Really? Was there a public vote by the citizens of Greenland in regards to this decision, or is ithe a political response?

Seems the people of Greenland aren't interested in having that vote. That wasn't my question anyway. What makes overtaking Greenland a priority for trump?

 

[gipper]

It is critical for America, Canada and Europes security that if and when Russia or China decide to attack Greenland that they do not do so successfully.

Do you realize how close Canada is to Greenland? How about the straight path to Europe? It is the perfect staging ground for any serious military and it has a large amount of critical minerals which an advanced economy can utilize.

I find it a bit creepy how the world pretends they care about Greenland if America were to absorb it and turn them into citizens but they are ok that an old relic monarchy in Denmark is their ultimate overlord.

Pompous, illogical, low investment Europeans to the rescue again...

The citizens of Greenland can choose for themselves what direction they would like to pursue. THe world doesn't want America to absorb them because it will weaken ALL of Europes old, declining kingdoms since America would be a great benefit to the citizens of Greenland. China and Russia in particular would be heavily against this pursuit as they have their eyes ultimately on that piece of real estate.

They are an independent nation so why not have a referendum after some lobbying by American politician?

Yeah Russia and China want Greenland. Lol. Good God that’s dumb.

I suspect this is yet another propaganda tactic to keep Americans fearful and the war contractors profits high.

You asked if he said he would invade? Why would he? Doesn’t mean he won’t, hence the trade war question.

By this logic we are going to invade Belgium and S Korea as well. No one has said we are but that doesnt mean we wont. right?

Seek help.

There’s no reason other than his bullying narcissistic character to be lying about Denmark and Greenland the way he is.

Right the only 2 possible outcomes are Greenland voluntarily becomes a US territory, or we invade them. Im sure you are correct.

When we dont invade will you come back on here and admit the degree to which you are a rabid partisan hack?

 

[Couchpotato]

What has China done or indicated they might do to threaten canal operations?

Im not sure they have threatened it as of yet. Them having that amount of influence over a key trade route in our hemisphere is a good idea by your calculation?

If not, then they should be excited with Greenland citizens choosing to be American.

I doubt any nation capable of thinking intelligently wants to join the USA.

That's an interesting hypothesis, I'd like to hear what the citizens of Greenland think of that prospect if that's alright with you.

I believe they’ve already stated they have no interest. Much like most of your countrymen have no interest, except for the brainless ones like you.

Some leader in Greenland said there was no interest and some unreliable poll. The pro-U.s party surprised the country with this showing last election with skyrocketing support. America just has to keep connecting with and lobbying to their citizens and then find some agreement with Greenland and Denmark, it's that simple really

Will Canada become the 51st state?

 

[Burgermeister]

Trump is going to have to explain how Greenland is all of a sudden an urgent key to world peace. I have developed hyper vigilance against government "crises", and this smells. This goes for Yemen too. And no thanks on Canada. Last thing we need is another state that is bluer that CA with even more electoral votes - I don't get that at all.

 

[Stann]

Then nothing changes. You’re imagining that it would be different.

You don't remember , trump said they could use military force. Threats don't go unnoticed.

The idea that Canada would become 1 state is idiotic. If it ever did happen it would be at least 13 states or common wealths according to their charters. 3 of their provinces and 2 of their territories are bigger than the state of Texas. The country itself is larger than the US . So who would be joining who ?

It's not grounds to take over Panama.

Greenland is terrified our Democrats will relocate to Greenland.

 

[Lesh]

What's the batshit part?

Is Greenland not a strategic location?

Should we not want Greenland to be a US territory or protectorate?

Should we not want a strategic alliance with Greenland or to expand our influence/relationship with them for some reason?

Democracies don’t get to just TAKE countries anymore.

Colonialism is long dead

Well unless your name is Putin or Trump

 

[Lesh]

Biden retained many of the Trump tariffs, Lesh. Care to take a crack at explaining why that is?

You mean the ones that TRUMP negotiated??

 

[wamose]

If nobody wants it, it should be easy and cheap to get. Good. Trumpy is a genius. MAGA
