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

[Rawley]

"what do you think would happen if Americans told Trump to **** himself? Would Trump attack them"?

We elected him dude. We soundly rejected that drunken idiot your cult ran and your insane woke policies. Wake the **** up.

Pretty fucked mental state when you consider every other American, every other one of your neighbors to be vermin. And you call us Nazis. Crack open a history book,.

We're done. You don't want a serious discussion. Have a blessed day.

Why not? Denmark has treated them so kindly? Pining for the forced sterilizations of the 60 and 70s? I think A lot of them would like to have a rich uncle protecting and taking care of them.

You really don't keep up with the news, do you?

Can't really address my reply to your accusation, can you?

 

[Rambunctious]

The reality is, just like America, "enemies" can't have Greenland and Greenland"s minerals. You have a treaty with Greenland from 1951, just stick to it -

The following year, both countries became NATO members. A 1951 treaty gave the US a significant role in Greenland's defense and allowed it to have bases there. The US eventually shut all of its bases except for Thule air base, now Pituffik Space Base, in northwest Greenland.

So Greenland is so important, you shut all but one base? It's not America v Greenland, it's Trump v Greenland. He doesn't need it for military, he needs it to satisfy his ego. Stop being gullible. Trump has made the US unreliable. Just stick to sorting US problems at home, especially the debt.

Greenland wants help in mining for the minerals... they can see the value in doing so... we can provide the mining expertise and equipment and do a better cleaner job of it than Denmark.... China or Russia...
The people in Greenland are against this now due to TDS... yes TDS has infected them too... after Trump is gone they will quietly change their tune... money talks and bullshit walks....
And you can bet that if China made an aggressive move on Greenland they would scream for the USA to save them....

AI Overview



+6



Greenlanders lean towards progressive social policies (welfare, healthcare) and strong self-governance, viewing independence from Denmark as the primary goal, making them generally more liberal on domestic issues than American conservatives, while simultaneously rejecting US annexation, showing a strong desire for autonomy rather than aligning with American conservatism or expansionism
. Their political spectrum centers on independence pace and economic self-sufficiency, with a strong focus on national identity and cultural preservation.

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?

Rare earth elements? Sure is a verbose post to completely ignore the obvious. SMFH. And people actually pay for advice? Theft.

No sarcasm. I truly hope you engage in some introspection, get better, and are blessed in your life.

Can't really address my reply to your accusation, can you?

Nah. You've proven time and time again that you are not interested in honest discussion. I won't waste my time on such nonsense. You are going on iggie. Again, have a blessed life.

I totally disagree with you on this statement. Nonetheless I do follow a guideline that you have never followed, which is to supply data, statistics and facts when discussing a topic, which is what I do and what I enjoy. I do not have the time or desire to listen to simple opinion, given that everyone has one and they are all different in some way.

Data, statistics and facts are few and clear and those I listen to as I am interest in gaining knowledge. Opinion is not knowledge in most cases.

I wonder how Ukraine would have done without Billions of US weapons and the US intelligence aperatus.

Woulda coulda shoulda. Point is they have. Russia would have done about as well as they did in Afghanistan and the US in Afghanistan and Vietnam. How did that work out for them?

 

[Godboy]

China has the tyranny of distance. They would also have to take on Europe and would fail miserably.

If China lands some workers that start building a port or base, you think Europe is going to go over there with guns and start a war with China? What of China signs a 3 year lease and they legally build whatever over there, then decide to stay when the lease is up? You think Europe is going to do something about it?

What did Europe do when Putin invaded Russia? Europe instantly looked over at the US and they were like, "can you guys handle this for us"?

Didn't know Putin invaded Russia. Thought he was already running the place. As per usual, you amplify the US contribution while belittling the European contribution. It's about 50/50.

LOL as if Denmark or NATO would allow China to build a base. And yes, absolutely Europe would do something about it. China has massive amounts of mining investments in Australia. Do they have any bases here? Nope. Will they ever? Nope. This is just false flag BS to justify the unjustifiable. The only people who fall for such things are Trump worshippers and idiots.

Where the **** was Europe when Putin invaded Ukraine? Greenland is FAR away from Europe. They dont even fight when someone invades their own doorstep. Now youre claiming that they will do something in Greenland?

You mean nothing was happening in Europe between Sept 1, 1939 and Dec 7, 1941? Oh that's right, Britain had already WON the Battle of Britain and the Krauts were getting bogged down in the Eastern Front.

Greenland is not that far from Europe. Importantly, it is literally thousands of miles from China. Greenland is part of NATO. Ukraine is not. Do I have to say this every time we talk about this? When are you going to understand that?
