Is having Greenland something that Americans will gain some personal benefit from? If not, why is Trump set on getting it?

[Luckyone]

What is the personal and economic benefit of getting Greenland for Americans. Will our economic, health, or income become better if we get it?

Trump said we need Greenland for our National Security:



but this map does not explain why we need it. After all, we have Alaska that is next to Russia, whereas Greenland is not close to Russia and even then, there are many other nations between Russia and Greenland and they are not supporting us taking over, even though if we took it over, they would have closer protection from us than they presently have:

By getting Greenland, no Americans are going to get any additional benefits for their lives. In fact, the expense of getting Greenland and defending it (against Russia and China) would actually take away benefits we need, such lower cost of Health Insurance, etc.

AI Overview

If the U.S. were to acquire Greenland, Americans would likely lose stability in NATO alliances and international trust, face significant economic burdens from managing a remote territory with high social costs, risk retaliatory trade wars (tariffs) from European allies, and deal with potentially complex internal secessionist movements inspired by Greenland's own independence drive.

Why then should we (Americans) support Trump's own STRONG desire to take over Greenland if the only benefit is for supporting his ego?

I dunno, National Security sure seems to be a personal interest for most....simp.

Most likely our oligarch's think there's profit to be made from their minerals and the easily manipulated Trump is their best bet at getting to rob Greenland

I’m sure would have opposed buying Alaska too

 

[Luckyone]

Well then explain to me why getting Greenland our National Security would benefit, especially considering that getting it, would cause NATO to turn against us, thus causing our established security base to desert us?

Explain that to me, please!

How is getting Greenland (look at the map) going to help our security?

Alaska is closer to us than Greenland and from there, we can certainly defend ourselves better than from far away Greenland. We can certainly ATTACK Russia from Alaska more successfully than from Greenland. There are many nations in the way from Greenland to Russia than from Alaska to Russia (where there are no nations between us_

Taking over Greenland would assure that China and/or Russia was kept out. NATO would only turn against us if we attacked Greenland, and that isn't going to happen.

Nice meme but no explanation is given as to how. Are you nothing but hot air?

This is blatantly false. Having missile strike capacity in Greenland would allow us to hit closer to the Russian mainland. Alaska is closer to Siberia which has barely any people living in it, let alone critical infrastructure.

So what? In addition, have either of those countries ever shown a desire to acquire Greenland?

AI Overview

Neither Russia nor China has officially expressed a desire to purchase or formally acquire Greenland.

By the way and as far as NATO

 

[Rogue AI]

Not allowing third rate dependents like the Danes to extort us for our own security would be worth it, along with eliminating the threat of them selling out to the Russians or Chinese.

Prove that we would be closer in Greenland to attack Russia than from Alaska!

AI Overview

Neither Greenland nor Alaska would provide a strategic advantage for "attacking Russia." Both locations are primarily crucial for defense, early warning, and strategic deterrence rather than staging offensive operations. An attack from either location would be a major logistical and geopolitical challenge and likely irrelevant in an all-out conflict.

Oh, and by the way, are we LOOKING and DESIRING for World War III to occur? Such action (acquiring Greenland) would give Russia and China a reason to think we are looking for another war to occur.

wow, talk about conspiracy theories that are as unlikely to happen as what you have stated. This one takes the cake. Are you sane?

The billionaire class wants the minerals there without paying for it.

The Arctic Ocean is opening up. On one side is Scandinavia and Russia. The other side is Alaska. Northern Canada and Greenland. With control Greenland we control the ships of the Chinese and Russian Navy's from Greenland to Alaska on our side of the Arctic.

Thinking conspiracy theories? Thinking that way and acting on it is likely to create those problems rather than solve them. Is Putin or Xi likely to back off threats from us?

They have actually proven otherwise........we threat them and they retaliate is what has always happened. Didn't Trump threaten Russia with new sanctions if they didn't back off Ukraine? What actually has happened is that Russia has INCREASED their attacks.

Trump's warning not only went unheeded but laughed at!! He is not believed as they know that he is a con artist that is NOT going to follow through on anything.
