I can. 

The live in a might makes right world. They're sitting on trillions, and they have a population smaller than Scranton. 

The only possible way they could ever maintain a sovereignty that they have not yet ever claimed would be under some sort of rules based order. And if you believe in THAT thing, I've got a bridge...

It has coastline in the arctic, enhancing our claims to those waters. It has fisheries. It has strategic military significance. 

We send a few polio blankets, and the indigenous are no longer a thorn. 

Hey, I'm just answering your question, here. I'm not arguing for this. I'm AGAINST it. 

But if I were in charge, I would almost certainly do it. Because I'm a **** maniac, and because I could.  :rofl:

A population smaller than Scranton, on an island thrice Texas?

My HONEST answer? No. 

But your question is false, anyway. They have never voted to be sovereign. They are still a colony of Danmark.

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.
Dammit. You're probably right.

Why you gotta take all the fizz outta the libation?

You hit reply, but you did not answer his point. So you only PRETENDED to rebut him - all while projecting a false narrative on him. 

How would we be different than putin?

You are the one agreeing with Putin, that he has a right to expand his empire, you fruitcake. 

Accusing Mr. Kelly of the sniffing that YOU'RE doing merely exposes you, and the rest of the homosexual community, as an hysterical twat (rhymes with hat).

now that canada has seen what america truly thinks of them russia may be able to talk to them into installing a base and possibly claim america as part of the soviet union.
And having Russian missiles on our border would be just fine with us. We wouldn't be all jumpy and invady like that dictator putin.

Actually, it does.

Greenland is not a sovereign nation. It is not a part of the UN - except through Danmark.

Greenland is a Danish territory - like the Virgin Island and Puerto Rico and American Samoa and Guam and Mariana Islands are American territories.

Being a proxy never pays - and shouldn't.

And let's face it. They're stateless savages who likely wipe with their hands and eat their babies.

biden is done and gone. it is trump who has the power, not just politically but legally thanks to the supreme court.
There are only nine voters on the supreme court. 

I'm pretty sure trump has to thank more than nine voters for his power.
