Trump meets with Danish PM, plans to acquire Greenland advance

[White 6]

Looks like a beautiful but tough place to live.

I did not know, the lowest official temperature ever recorded in the northern hemispher was in Greenland.

Greenlanders need to decide if they want to be free of their colonizers.

Aren't they all Danes, anyway?

 

[Concerned American]

OK. It was your idea to send the illegals to Greenland (I assume, if trump could strike an amicable deal with the Greenlanders), what is your objection to a possible trump deal? If he strikes a deal, they will need labor. Have you emailed the trump administration to register your complaint against a Greenland deal, that might secure access to proven reserves of precious metals, not being mined? You simply prefer present US states be forced to allow the mining, right here on this continent, whether negative impacts to people and communities or not? What? What exactly is wrong with a Trump deal that does this and supplies jobs not being filled by present Americans, at the same time? I actually thought you were a Trump supporter.

Sarcasm, I didn't realize I had to draw you a picture. The rest of that claptrap is you running around in your little head.

So, you are not against a Trump deal, but just running off at the keyboard? Who would have thought a trump supporter, simply a contrarian for sarcastic contrarian sake?

Works for many Alaskans.
This is America! I favor a good old-fashioned payoff, to invasion or gunboat diplomacy, like the Panama Canal or worse.

Not to mention the tourism industry that could be established in Greenland. Interest in visiting Greenland has spiked since Trump started making comments about it.

Read the thread 6. My first post makes that abundantly clear. Who ever would have thought a Biden supporter would keep up with the thread?

Possibly, but I am not too sure, what part of Greenland the Lithium deposits are located in. From what I understand, correctly or incorrectly, much of that huge island is a permanent-frozen glacier chunk of ice, sometimes a mile or more thick. Huge pit strip mines, might do more harm than good in the green portions of Greenland.

Then why would you object if anybody else supports an amicable Trump deal? You prefer a hostile takeover, instead? Or do you object to me, simply to be a contrarian? There is nothing conservative about that, but of course many trumper simply are not conservative. Being against things or people simply for the purpose of being against, is not a conservative value.

Like Hawaii and Puerto Rico, maybe Greenlanders would like to be Americans. LOL, we could send all of those wonderful illegal immigrants that you and the democrats welcomed in to the vast northern reaches of Greenland.

Yes drop them off with no coats

Seems to me, your post #3 insinuated that you believed "imperialistic Trump admin" was to attempt just that. Contrarian? LOL

Only due to what has been said.

Well, one tourism site called Hopper saw a 337% increase in searches for Greenland vacations.

All that talk about Greenland has led to a triple-digit spike in online searches

Travel website Hopper has seen a 337 percent spike in interest since Trump tried to buy the island.

Oil wells leave a smaller footprint than strip mines.

True on both counts but oil reserves there, not so much, and more strategic and long term economic value in the precious metals. Just my opinion, of course. If I want to spend tourist dollars in the snow, I go to Colorado.

Greenland has very aggressive polar bears...
The Greenlanders have a patrol dedicated to keeping them out of inhabited areas.

Yep. Polar Bears. Chasing caribou, is hard work.

Still trying to hijack the thread? What a dick!
The subject is Trump meets with Danish PM, plans to acquire Greenland advance

Lol. No denial from you...

I don't know, I think it's more likely he works out a land lease deal and agreements to put a couple bases in there.

We have bases. We need minerals. California might want to buy icebergs.

There's a lot of historical precedence for freeing colonies from the control of the Old World colonial powers.

Greenlanders should be the captains of their own ship, and if they want to end colonial rule and join a free nation like the USA, they should have that option.

The Danish PM agrees:

Denmark's PM Just Provided an Update About the US Purchasing Greenland

On Wednesday, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said that she spoke to President-elect Donald Trump and explained “it is up to Greenland itself to make a decision on independence.”

There was one die-hard Donald Trump fan who made his way to the Fox News cameras, however.

There's a lot of historical precedence for freeing colonies from the control of the Old World colonial powers.

That's why the Brits kicked the islanders off Diego Garcia so the US could feel more secure with its air bases there.

Much historical precedence.
