Let's think critically about why Trump wants Greenland. 


The real reason: It's not about metals. Only Musk wants those. Taking their metals would do nothing. We would still need China's refineries. Greenland sits as the gatekeeper between North America and Europe. It is the route that allows access to Greenland–Iceland–UK, which is also the main route Russian submarines must pass to reach the Atlantic.  Russia has been aggressively rebuilding Arctic bases, radar, and submarine routes. That is what is relatively new. In the past, we have expressed interest in Greenland, but for completely different reasons. Though it is nothing new that Russia has been building subs in that region, they have 'aggressively' increased their production since 2014. So, Russia is up to something. This was Russia's response to the NATO expansion in 2014 and Crimea. Since then, like almost immediately after, Russia began to reopen 50 Arctic bases in the region. 

I know I said that I was against this, but that was before I knew what Russia was doing. I researched this more last night, thanks to @RebelGator  . Sorry I misjudged you, my friend. You were right. I was wrong. I hope BV's next **** comes out square.

We have a base in Greenland 

they would have no problem with us putting a major defense systems in

The tRump talk about the use of military force is just plain stupid 

and they want no part in becoming part of the US

Danish troops ordered to shoot first, ask questions later if Greenland is invaded

Can't they farm Yaks?   Maybe we could ressurect the Wooly Mammoth and save humanity from having to eat Bill Gates Bug Meat.

We ain't lettin' Russia or China take it over from Denmark?  This is a Black Vegetable Rubicon Level Five Event.

It seems to me we coordinated just fine with Denmark on Greenland National Security a year ago.


 

    Equity!

60,000 people shouldn't have that much land and resources.

I understand. I am not a big fan of invading countries just for their scenery and vacation opportunities. At first, I was against the idea. However, I didn't research much before I took on that view. I know the Greenlanders don't want us. But life is full of unfair ****. We have to deal with 14 million illegal immigrants that we didn't ask for. But here we are. If we can deal with people from 3rd world countries coming in, then I am sure they will get used to civilized people who are just as white as they are.

Well maybe you can pay Elon to go on the Mars Invasion Cruise..  

Imperialism is old fashioned in a world connected by an electronic network.   We live on a spaceship, not a Viking Row Boat.
