Latest shiny object to catch Trump's eye: Greenland

[Thunder Good-Oil]

China's acquiring Hong Kong. North and South Korea could end up merging. We should buy Greenland and merge with some of the western Canadian provinces.

Been to Greenland..do not want. Unless we swap it out for Puerto Rico.

 

[utvolpj]

This will be the new home base for Space Force

There probably would be some real benefit to controlling Greenland. It would also likely hamper Russia’s goals of dominating the Arctic, which I’m all for. That said, I have to think Greenland would declare independence before any purchase could go through.

Well, so much for that:

Ive apparently missed your usual thread on a mass shooting from Philadelphia. Or did you skip that one because it was just a guy shooting cops, and didn't fit the meh trump narrative?

I actually had the original post on the topic.

Why were you in Greenland? Viking raid?

Not saying it will be done or should be tried but things that aren't for sale get sold all the time.

Why is the Arctic and who controls it of importance to the US?

I think this would actually be a good thing. Then Trump could move all the loony America haters like EL there .

Good point!

Pssst...that's sorta what communist countries do. They ship dissidents off to cold places (see USSR and Siberia)

 

[Velo Vol]

Excuse me you loser, America is not a communist country yet like you want it to be. A lot of communists living in this country said if Trump were elected as their President they'd move............so go. Stop your daily crying and please Pack your bags and go.......since you hate everything about what this Trump Administration is doing.......then go......nobody will miss you. I'd gladly pay your one way airplane ticket to go & not to come back w/your disgusting filth.

Tired of all the winning?

Their total population is about one third of Knoxville's. Having to pry harpoons from their dead, cold hands wouldn't stop the process.

Sure, but the US wouldn’t do that, and shouldn’t.

55,000 aren't going to resist a good deal either.

 

[Velo Vol]

Of course.

Are you freaking kidding?

 

[AirVol]

The obvious northern expansion is Canada. It even has oil. Does Greenland?

Ruby’s

 

[Purple Tiger]

Wow, somebody needs a hug.

Or an enema.

Say what?

 

[RockyTop85]

Of course.

If we have 5 more years of Trump climate policies, Greenland will probably be 72 and sunny for 6 months out of the year and 72 and dark the other 6 months.

 

[Persian Vol]

Yeah **** some rural Americans lack of internet access when you can buy Greenland

0 chance Greenland opts for annexation by the US. It’s nothing more than a silly hypothetical.

 

[tvolsfan]

Say what?

I know you’re a weird Russian sympathizer, but the US is not invading Denmark, or any western democracy in this day engage.


Annexing sovereign states in the 2010’s: That said some backwards Russian ****.
