Here are the reasons why Trump wants Greenland. As always, it has to do with war and minerals. He says acquiring Greenland is a matter of national security because it is a gateway for Russian and Chinese vessels. Thus, we can blow them up if our government feels like it. Have you noticed that the excuse is always "national security."  Every time we assert our military where we don't belong....it's because of national security. It's always that. 


Greenland offers the shortest route from North America to Europe. This gives the US a strategic upper hand for its military and its ballistic missile early-warning system.The US has expressed interest in expanding its military presence in Greenland by placing radars in the waters connecting Greenland, Iceland and the United Kingdom. These waters are a gateway for Russian and Chinese vessels, which Washington aims to track.The island is also incredibly rich in minerals, including rare earth minerals used in the manufacture of batteries and high-tech industry.According to a 2023 survey, 25 of 34 minerals deemed “critical raw materials” by the European Commission were found in Greenland.Greenland does not carry out the extraction of oil and gas, and its mining sector is opposed by its Indigenous population. The economy of the island is largely reliant on its fishing industry.

It is a glorious time to be alive! :LOL:

They want Greenland for the rare earth minerals and oil that could be extracted. I would oppose a military takeover. They want to be fully independent.. not an autonomous region of Denmark. Can't see why they should not be allowed to be on their own.

Agreed. They are 56,000 people. Most of them are indigenous. Let them be.

The rare earth minerals and oil are not infinite in supply. So eventually they will run out. What do we do with Greenland when it offers none of these benefits?

Same thing we always do after we have exploited a nation of all their resources...leave. Then let them clean up the mess. 

Ukraine has an abundance of minerals also. It's unlikely that they will come out the victor, but if they did, America would just walk on in , extract the minerals, then leave them to pick of the mess.

Do you actually know anything of your own or, like most media fed fools, only what they tell you?

Sure.  But Greenland is very valuable strategically.  We have a large base there named Thule. Or was named that.  The name was changed.

Yes.

I don't think Trump really wants to annex Greenland.  I think he wants to increase our military presence there.  Same with his his tariffs.  It is a negotiating tool.  Start big and then talk down to what you really want.
