Trump: US owning Greenland is an absolute necessity

[AsherN]

Why would the Danes close Thule? Do they not understand that you can't keep pissing off allies?

Negotiating tactic. As the orange menace likes to say.

Okay.

They negotiate, we negotiate, we come to an agreement.

That's not anything crazy, it is how the world outside of U.S. politics works. It is how Trump works, so it fits in with the rest of the world, even if U.S politicians are confused by it.

The rest of the world doesn't live in fear of upsetting "allies" by acting in their own interests.

Denmark will do what is best for Denmark even if Trump does not agree.

Other than Putin or Xi, the rest of the world leaders aren't trying to take over other nation's sovereign territories. This puts Donald Trump is a special class of clueless idiots.

Hard to understan how Your Party was unable to come up with anyone who could defeat a clueless idiot, huh?

Not when we ready your posts, it isn't.

Out of context but typical of "Hill" spin.

 

[Moonglow]

I don't even know what to say here. Does anyone know why an American President do this?

Is this the new imperialism? Buying other countries? What is the MAGA spin on this?

Is this -- and I'm serious here -- sane?

Trump says US owning Greenland ‘absolute necessity’

Evidently, the US signed a defense treaty with Denmark over Greenland and Trump is claiming that Denmark is not defending it adequately and we need to step in and beef up the defenses.

Now, with Panama we would have to invade to get the canal back.

Trump will do nothing about Greenland and Panama but yell

Just now I watched the PM of Greenland pledge support for Trump's policies. Of course the PM rejected making Greenland an American State but, that wasn't the point. Trump is a master negotiator.

No, he is not. Think back to the Kim fiasco.
