The real reason Trump wants to invade/buy Greenland

[frigidweirdo]

The idea it is about national security is pure bullshit.

Follow the money:

Ronald Lauder: The heir to the Estée Lauder fortune, is credited with giving Trump the idea of taking over Greenland during his first term, former White House national security adviser John Bolton confirmed to Forbes.
Lauder has since invested, according to the Danish newspaper Politiken, in an unprofitable Greenlandic freshwater bottling company co-owned by Jørgen Wæver Johansen, local chair of the governing Siumut party in Nuuk and husband to Greenland’s minister of foreign affairs, Vivian Motzfeldt, raising concerns about political interference.
Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates and Michael Bloomberg: All have invested since 2019 in Kobold Metals, which has looked for valuable rare earth minerals used in electronic devices through AI-powered exploration of the island.
Sam Altman: The OpenAI CEO invested in Kobold in 2022.
Peter Thiel: The Paypal and Palantir tech titan funded in early 2021 the startup Praxis, which aims to build a technologically advanced “freedom city” on the island.
Howard Lutnick: Trump’s Secretary of Commerce served as CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, which has invested in Greenland mining company Critical Metals Corp. for over three decades (he has since divested from Cantor and transferred his shares to his adult children).

If we know anything by now, is that with Trump it is all about the grift.

If it will line Trump’s pockets or help the billionaire class, the American government is at their disposal.

Yep, they think that the resources there will make them rich.

Trump only cares about money.

Who is going to defend Greenland against daddy Vlad?

Well, NATO, that's what it's there for.

Now, how would it look if the Nobel Peace Prize winner went around invading other countries?

Not sure. Ask Obama, he knows.

You're right, there is no legitimate reason to "invade" Greenland. It should be taken by way of economic power, where both parties are relieved with the deal. And given President Trump's ability to make deals that can't be refused, I'm pretty sure he'll work this out.

Jingoistic Ugly American parochial bullshit!

The United States does not own the world and can not just plant its flag based on some vague self serving nonsense about economic power.

The real agenda here is aiding Putin’s long term goal of destroying NATO.

By NATO you mean the US...

This is why the EU is being stupid in not handing over Greenland to the US.

Do you think the US is going to get in a confrontation with the EU over Greenland while AT THE SAME TIME funding the war in Ukraine?

More like who is going to save Greenland against Moron Donald. Daddy Vlad and Moron Donald are on the same page. They are allies.

"handing over Greenland"...just think about what you typed. How about we hand over Alaska to Japan? They can defend it better.

trump is doing Poootin bidding and you Magats are too stupid to see it.

Actually we do own the world. Watch how fast they fold when Trump threatens to cut off support.

You are a Magat and defend every word coming out of the mouth of this Moron. Tired of looking at you.

 

[JimH52]

Defense of Greenland has nothing to do with what trump is doing. He is in it to kill NATO. This is a Poootin plan. trump told Poootin in Alaska, "I will help you." That is what he is doing. And you Magats are applauding him.

You said Japan can better defend Alaska, so I'm asking you to defend your own comment.

What gives you the notion that Greenland has anything to fear from “daddy Vlad”/?

What a ridiculous jingoistic post!

Where do you get the idea that the E.U. Has the power to hand over anyone’s territory?

Is that something you were told by some clown on X?

The US (Trump) is doing everything he can to esculate a confrontation with NATO.

This is what Moscow wants. It has been a prime Russian foreign policy goal since 1949.

And we all know Trump works for the Russians.

That isn’t happening.

They made Trump back down on his worst tarriffs.

Canada has responded to Trump’s threats by reaching out to China.

The E.U. Will retaliate against Trump’s tarriff threats,

Trump threatened Iran, and then chickened out.

And the US President is a subject of ridicule around the world. He is neither trusted or taken at his worthless word.

Nope.

You and Donald should go kick some sick puppies. trump bullied Zelensky and now he is going after all of Europe. It worked for his hero, Adolph, until he popped his temple in his bunker.
