Hmmm. Greenland possesses significant, largely untapped, mineral resources, inc. rare earth elements, graphite, lithium, and other critical minerals:

A lot of that is in areas that hold special value and rights to the locals. I know ethnic cleansing for resources is an American tradition, but I kinda hoped that was in the past. But alas.

Trump's lust for taking Greenland is so obvious. It has nothing to do with the security of the US. It is nothing more than a land grab for Greenland's resources. Worse, he is willing to use force, he says, to take Greenland.

The arm-twisting for Ukraine's resources for the sake of a stop of the Russian attacks is also quote telling.

So....Syria - but closer, and colder, and significantly less resistant natives?

If you wanted to be an optimist you could say our dumb ideas are getting less dumb - worst case this would barely crack our top 5 most expensive fuck ups of the century.

This is most likely just Trump stirring up the crowd though.

Yep. Flooding the zone with distracting nonsense, so no one notices the standard grift going on in plain sight.

As a rule, if Trump Jr is involved, the entire operation is a troll. That guy has basically never done anything serious or anything that requires work in his entire life. Dont expect him to start now.

Yeah, this is Canada as much as Greenland getting backed into a corner and expected to cave in.

Of course that’s what he wants. He couldn’t care less about the people of Greenland, he just wants their resources, and he doesn’t want to pay for them. Same with Canada. It’s all very Hitleresque.
