Greenland

It’s what we are doing, becoming isolationist.

Not even close. If anything this is expansion.

It's is dawning on more and more folks that the emperor has no clothes.

Have you ever been right?

We’re not becoming isolationist

Not in the traditional sense such as leading up to WWII but we are weakening alliances and relationships with trading partners. Also, by dialing back the soft power that was started in the 60s our influence is waning. Bullying and coercion won’t sustain our historical standing. Constantly flipping tariff / no tariff and imperialism doesn’t lead to trust. Less trust leads to isolation.

Europe: Greenland is not for sale

Trump: We'll pay you $700 billion and $100,000 to each person on Greenland

Europe: We don't need the US Greenland is not for sale

NATO: If you try to take Greenland you are kicked out of NATO

Trump: Ok kick us and our 5% out of NATO and the US will take Greenland because your 2 sleds can't stop me.

Europe and NATO: Greenland is not for sale but the US can use Greenland for what you need.

Trump: Ok we'll keep our money, use Greenland and the rest of the Arctic.

Europe: OK

Not singing Biden’s praises here but he didn’t lead a cult. He offered an alternative to the cult.

Why we couldn’t do better than those options is a very worthwhile discussion.

He offered an alternative that would likely burn American tax dollars at the very same rate in a 10 year structure.

This is NOT what is happening. What's happening is, as Aretha Franklin would say, R E S P E C T is what the world has now for Trump and the US. Something the world did not have for Biden and limp-wristed effeminate liberals who hate the US and have destructive policies.

I still haven’t heard any details on exactly what this latest and greatest deal ever done on the defense of Greenland exactly provides that isn’t already covered in the existing agreement. In fact the existing agreement looks pretty freaking flexible. Thus just like Venezuela it looks more and more like a (attempted thus far) resource grab.

the new "framework of a future deal" announced by President Trump involves the U.S. getting involved in Greenland's mineral rights, potentially granting the U.S. a right of first refusal on strategic minerals like rare earths, alongside military cooperation and a proposed "Golden Dome" missile defense system, in exchange for dropping tariff threats against European allies, though specific details are still emerging and Greenlandic officials stress their sovereignty

Thanks for confirming it’s a resource grab with no additional flexibility added enabling a stronger defense of Greenland.

Nothing in the existing treaty prohibits the establishment of Golden Dome. Which is largely a space based system like Reagan’s Star Wars was anyway.

It’s a resource protection imo. China cannot buy it if the US has the first right of refusal. It ensures that if anyone gets it it’ll be the good guys

If that rationalization helps you think this was all warranted ok then. And at least we all agree now that Greenland will retain their sovereignty… right?

Sovereignty? Yes. Control over mineral rights… ?

They have sovereignty? Probably need to check that

Once we get Greenland we'll have Canada completely surrounded!

You gotta hand it to Leavitt though, she knows that she tell a lie that so utterly stupid that it defies belief that she just uttered it, and the MAGA base will parrot it without question.

Maybe she's not lying. She may not know that there's a Greenland and an Iceland.
