Tell me you know nothing about off roading high mountain trails without telling me you no nothing about off roading high mountain trails, or off roading in general.

I drive my IENOS Grenadier around the Subaru owners when I off-road.

There are much more capable vehicles than a flippin Subaru. If I see one on a trail it's either some skinny jean wearing European looking latte drinker… or a car full of clam shufflers.

That's like saying a Hummer can go places better than a Chevy Volt can.

Per the Google:

Quote:

---

A Subaru is a mainstream SUV focused on everyday comfort, safety, and efficient all-wheel-drive, while the INEOS Grenadier is a rugged, body-on-frame off-road specialist built for extreme capability, making them fundamentally different vehicles for different purposes, with
the Grenadier being heavier, more powerful, less efficient, and significantly more expensive, while the Subaru offers superior on-road handling, better fuel economy, and more modern tech.

Even if I believed you actually had one, then by your own statement, you spent alot of money to get to the same place a Subaru goes. Congrats I guess.


Oh, and good luck getting that Ienos serviced after a trip.

---

If you like your Subaru be proud of it, don't let the insecurity of driving a station wagon in the mountains

And you are right, I don't own an IENOS as it is of little use in DFW suburbia. But we have one available to us when we go to Big Sky. It's not practical with driving in everyday wet snow given the weight and higher center, but it's quite capable fording creeks and rock crawling. As mentioned, we drove around and past the Subaru. So it was not all that much more money to go further.

Back on topic, I would take my Audi to Greenland for city driving but have the IENOS for heading out to check on the polar bears.

Cannot wait to have a place in Greenland to visit without needing to **** with the Danes at immigration.

Also, for those learning the history of Greenland for the first time… Norway likes to take all the credit for the short 250 year history of the Vikings, but they spent as much if not more of their time in many other locales with a particular stronghold in Iceland. If any country had a claim for Greenland based on who got there first and stayed, the Icelandic folks have a much stronger claim than the Danes.

If we based on who has invested and spent more money there over the past century, I would think the US comes out on top.

Suburban DFW! LOL

Come talk to me when you actually own your off road vehicle and get more experience than mall crawling in someone else's vehicle.

As an FYI, my Subi Crosstrek, Jeep Wrangler, and Toyota Tacoma get me anywhere I need to go. I may be in Montana this summer, I'll give the Ienos a tow if I see you out there.

Assuming you poorly understand the concept of eminent domain. Since Biden did away with the concept of borders, Trump has expanded this concept internationally.

You guys act like we are going to enslave the Greenlandorians and make them toil in the southern cotton fields once the ice melts.

Greenland will have never seen better days with the US fully controlling it.

Did you support the Danes sterilizing 12yo natives against their will?

Should we have asked Japan for permission to take islands in the pacific then stay there?

Recall we also kept a part of Cuba. There is nothing knew about the concept Trump is deploying, its just we finally have a POTUS with fortitude to do it.

Chill, Greenland will be under our Complete & Total Control and Coke will be invited to film the polar bears for their new commercials for the USA 250 Trump cans.

Did he chicken out on tariffs? Cause then we don't need SCOTUS wasting their time.

Did he taco on the border? Cause Omar, Walz, Frey and others seem to upset over nothing.

Did he deliver Maduro back to Caracas? I seem to have missed that.

Trying to understand where this taco reference actually comes from or applies to.

I think the issue people (those in the rest of the world especially) have is that he won't rule it out. Last week he was specifically asked if would rule out military action against a NATO and he refused to say one way or the other.

Now I'm sure one could say something like, "well duh. If a NATO country attacked us we would respond with equal military action". But that's not really what's being signaled here. His statement is a veiled threat of action of what will happen if he isn't allowed to buy Greenland. And that's exactly how it's being interpreted (rightfully so IMO)

And honestly even if he came out now and said he wouldn't invade Greenland, it not like any of our allies can trust him. He has shown time and again he and therefore the United States can't be trusted or relied upon.

Not to derail the thread, but here's a quick list of 5 tariff announcements that never happened (courtesy of ChatGPT). It's become pretty clear a large amount of his tariff Truth social "threats" are just an attempt at negotiating posturing, which is a good thing because tariffs are an idiotic liberal policy.

I'm guessing that's what this is too, and we'll end up with announcing a few extra bases and he'll move onto something else shortly after.

Quote:

Threatened Tariffs/Trade Actions That Never Materialized
1. Creation of an "External Revenue Service"
Trump said he would establish a new government agency to collect tariffs and related revenuebut it had not been created by the end of 2025.
2. 200% tariff on European wine, champagne, and spirits
Threatened as retaliation for EU whiskey tariffs; never enacted.
3. 100% tariff on foreign-made films
Promised to protect the domestic movie industry; no such tariff was ever put into effect.
4. 100% tariff on imported computer chips/semiconductors
Announced in broad terms; a sweeping 100% duty did not occur (narrow tariffs on some AI chips were later enacted, but not a blanket 100% tariff).
5. Tariffs on pharmaceutical drugs (100% or 200%)
Threats to hit foreign-produced drugs with massive levies were not implemented by the promised start dates.
6. $2,000 "tariff dividend" to Americans
Trump repeatedly promised direct payments funded by tariff revenue; no such program was enacted.

I will not rely upon your opinion on this matter among many others. You are not winning me over.

Thats negotiating not chickening out.

Have some of you never negotiated anything?

Brutalizing allowed:
Car salesmen
Mattress salesmen
Danes
Euros
Putin
Maduro
Illegals
who else?

He is apparently going to try to use tariffs to deal with Danes and anyone in the way of obtaining Greenland. He never said he'd just take it . And many of the countries posturing themselves are not doing so in a very intimidating way.

Someone in the EU has threatened an economic bazooka at the US if Trump keeps it up.

He better TACO whilst he still can or this is going to be the end of America before we reach 250 in July.

Oh perfect! What did we get out of his "negotiating" on these items? (which apparently now means forgetting he ever posted those things)
