No one is taking Greenland by force. Trump also didn't collude with Russia.

Glad that's settled.

I'm old enough to remember when Trump was Putin's puppet.

What's Denmark's relationship with Russia these days? And how involved are they with the immigration of those hostile to American interests?

Not the worst employment interview for Occupy Democrats that I've seen.

We'll know that we are about to shovel some cash to the Greenlanders when some Danes start moving there to try to get in on the cash grab.

I guess if joking around is emotional? lol.

I seem to have hit a nerve with you though...

Humor and happiness are emotions that were ultimately not bestowed on leftists.

They don't call it greenbacks for nothing

BREAKING: United States considering lump-sum payments up to $100,000.00 per resident of Greenland to buy their country.

5 billion for Greenland seems pretty cheap.

That's not even pennies on what we'd get in just the first year of whatever we dig up from the ground over there.

I'm thinking it'll be a bit more than this to make them start to think about thinking about an offer.

It'll be trillions plus other concessions/guarantees

Kinda funny Denmark keeps saying Greenland belongs to the Greenlanders but continues to hamper their desires for self-autonomy.

Simple, legal, bloodless.

Greenlanders want independence when they can still maintain their standard of living. They get a large annual block grant from Denmark currently.

I demand independence along with funding and security to ensure I remain well fed and safe as I live independently.

If Greenlanders think this way, I applaud their optimism but concerned about their sanity.

Their minerals aren't going to steal themselves!

If we strike a deal with the actual citizens of Greenland, do you have any objection to that?

If we want it badly enough, we will buy it. Those hand-wringing over it just need to go visit one of Tampon Tim's men's rooms for a plug to stuff

It's as simple as this:

Denmark already agreed back in 2009 to let Greenland be able to vote for independence.

Up until now they haven't done so because they are dependent on economic aid from Denmark

But if the US makes them a better offer and they declare independence and enter into a compact of free association and defense with the US, then what is there to complain about other than Dems being unhappy that their masters in foreign communist countries continue to lose.

Yes especially when Dems were giving billions to the NGOs for no reason other than taking our taxes

I read up on this yesterday. Greenland can vote/request independence but Denmark then has to approve it. Obviously, if I'm Greenland and the US offer is too good to turn down then I go through motions of voting for independence. And when Denmark says no, then I ignore Denmark. What is Denmark going to do at that point? Demand to the UN and the EU that their colonialism should stand? It's a lose-lose situation for Denmark.

There is already nothing stopping American businesses from doing business there. We already have a military presence there and we are allowed to ask them to expand that if we want.

Valid but this is about raw resources and a new geopolitical reality so also irrelevant. Buying them means you get access beyond surface level business and an iron clad defense arrangement against China and Russia.

We could station 10,000 personnel there without buying them.

Ok? Doesn't fully address the intent that has been shared by the administration.

American mining companies are also allowed to develop mining operations there.

All of this at the discretion of Denmark which should be the case since it's their territory.

But if it's not their territory going forward then you have more freedoms and access directly with Greenlanders.

I guess I thought that was obvious.

If they become an independent nation then it's only their decision.

Exactly

I want Denmark to go before the UN and demand that nobody recognize their colonial possession's vote of independence because "we didn't really mean it when we said they could"

I get that too, but at the same time, I don't think Denmark has ever told us no to anything WRT Greenland. If we need Greenland in order to beef up defenses, then just do it. Do it now. They won't tell us no.
