Greenlanders dreaming of something they will never have

[georgephillip]

First and foremost however Greenland is strategically located for the geopolitical upheaval going forward. They will not remain independent no matter what their hopes or dreams are. They are right in the middle of the next round of territorial disputes and have absolutely no way of becoming any kind of noticeable presence in the face of that event.

You're arguing the Law of the Jungle makes it necessary for the US to continue its long-standing policy of meddling in the affairs of foreign governments?

There is only one major political predator on this planet and it's not Russia or China.
Greenland's future is for its citizens to decide; whatever colonial AI aspirations greedy Americans may hold:

Why Climate Change is Making Greenland Desirable to Trump

"Greenland's changing climate also holds potential for the U.S.'s artificial intelligence ambitions. During a Feb. 12 Senate hearing on the acquisition of Greenland, Rebecca Pincus, director of the Polar Institute at the Wilson Center, spoke of the potential for the melting ice sheet to provide the energy for hydropower-fueled AI data centers."

You got a communist China tattoe on your ass dont you

Climate Change will soon turn Greenland into the new Florida. Trump is a genius to buy cheap now.

Well actually in this case unfortunately the LOJ is going to play a large part yes. You're very wrong about one thing Greenland's future is not for its citizens to decide. That's just completely naive.
If somebody wants to make a story book that always has a happy ending maybe we can find that story there.

Where did he say we were going to invade Greenland to take over? You assume way too much.

I don’t assume anything.
It isn’t me trying to spin Donald Trumps words so that they could be seen less dramatic.

If USA says it needs Greenland, is going to get it, one way or another and on the direct question regarding military action doesn’t take it off the board… well, US couldn’t be more clear.

They always do this....elaborate with false details then pretend to be mortally wounded. Trump is only stating the obvious. Greenland is not going to be independent...ever.

False details?!?

DT March 5, speech to congress:
”We need Greenland for national security and even international security. And we’re working with everybody involved to try and get it. But we need it really for international world security. And I think we’re going to get it. One way or the other, we’re going to get it.”

DT March 29, to NBC:
“We’ll get Greenland. Yeah, 100%,”

He added that there’s a “good possibility that we could do it without military force” but that “I don’t take anything off the table.”

It doesn’t take elaboration to understand, it’s crystal clear.

We arent gonna invade. Calm the hell down.

 

[braalian]

We arent gonna invade. Calm the hell down.

I agree. We won’t.

But why does Trump keep implying that we will?

 

[ErikViking]

We arent gonna invade. Calm the hell down.

You might. If extortion, sanctions, propaganda, subversion and threats fail.

I can’t say what’s gonna happen. Maybe Greenland ends up begging to be under US rule?
I wouldn’t care, good for them.

It isn’t the point. The point is what US is doing right now, and that is openly requesting control over another nation:
That’s only funny when you’re not a target of this aggression. I take US foreign policy seriously.

 

[otto105]

No way.... Just a pragmatist. I detest what's going on with Russia and Ukraine. I think both national leaders are hopelessly bloodsoaked criminals. The Pile of dead bodies connected to this conflict going back 10 to 15 years is absolutely incomprehensibly wicked.

Stop being a russian apologist.

 

[eagle1462010]

I agree. We won’t.

But why does Trump keep implying that we will?

No clue. He is hard to figure at times. Mostly I think he is trolling to get the issue on the table.

Its gotten Mexican troops to the border.

Truduea out of office.

Alberta increading border security.

Businesses moving here.

So its working in some ways

That’s worth noticing. Results are not all negative.

No. You are doing the exact opposite. You are spinning his words to make them seem more threatening. You are not even the one being threatened. Why not mind your own business?

You never take anything off the board because that limits to your reaction to unforeseen future events.

Not spinning at all. I just repeat the official US standpoint. Is government whispering something else in your ear, please do share it.

 

[ErikViking]

Greenland is not a nation.

We don’t need to go there. We aren’t twelve year olds.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

We don’t need to go there. We aren’t twelve year olds.

Apparently, you are! I see no evidence otherwise.

They did not say what you claim. All you have is spin and that is coming from an uninvolved participant.

 

[braalian]

How else could one interpret the words “by any means necessary”?
