My question is, why wouldn't they want to be part of the US? We are the most advanced country in the world. We have an excellent public school system. In fact, Id rather be educated in the poorest school district in America than literally anywhere else outside the US. We have the best hospitals and most advanced mericine in the world. Literally every other country is behind us in terms of modern medicine. The vast majority of medical advancements happen the US. The US can make any country look like a 3rd world country.

Is this satire?

I’m assuming this is parody. Good one.

I am glad someone else got it. The intentional typos really give it away.

Because Trump needs more distractions from the Epstein files so we’ll all stop talking about how he was supplying girls for a world’s biggest pedo ring.

Oh yea, everything goes back to the Epstein files. Dems will talking about those files 50 years from now, like people talked about the JFK files for all those years. Can someone tell me why Biden didn’t release the files ?

Because Biden was a placeholder who didn't work out as intended. The current president is more embarrassingly awful than Biden was. Trump is that current president and Epstein was his close friend during a large portion of the darkest Epstein years so it's fair to ask for those files.

There is zero point in "taking" Greenland. It's already part of NATO. We have a military base there. Denmark has said the US is welcome to expand its military presence in Greenland. They have also said the US is welcome to compete for mining deals and concessions.

But taking Greenland by force would be the end of NATO. The US will lose its military bases in Europe. 100,000 US troops will go home. A very successful trans-Atlantic alliance will be gone.

Europe, the UK, Canada, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand will form a separate alliance, isolating the US. And naturally, a US seizure of Greenland will lead to the end of the US dollar as the reserve currency. No one will be buying the $39 trillion of debt the US currently has outstanding. Interest rates will soar in the US. Unemployment will skyrocket. And the US will stand alone in its modern great depression.

And for what? Trump seems determined to change the US from the only global superpower in the world to being nothing more than a regional bully - like Russia or Iran. Taking Greenland makes no strategic sense whatsoever. The costs to the US are enormous. And there's no coming back from it. If the US makes that move, the entire security and trade structure that has served the US very well for 80 years is gone.

I am sometimes surprised by the breathtaking stupidity of Republicans. But taking Greenland goes even further than that. There really needs to be a thorough investigation into Trump's ties to Russia. A move like taking Greenland destroys American national security. And only Russia and China benefit from that.

So what if he’s placeholder, that didn’t stop him and his autopen from doing all kinds of really stupid shit. A more plausible reason is that Epstein was “friends” with a lot of Democrats, probably more than Republicans. Ever think of that ?

All of this!! And then by the logic of some commenters here China would look at the U.S. and say; we can take them.
“Taking” Greenland, (we will not be able to), so essentially declaring war on our ally and on our own military alliance - that is the red line to inevitable self destruction. No coming back.

Ending NATO would save the US gobs of money, especially bringing back the 100,000 troops as you say. The US doesn’t need NATO, we are not the ones landlocked with Russia, that would be Europe. So, I don’t think Europe is walking away from NATO on behalf of Greenland. Most of what you argue is completely unsupportable.

Life in Somoa and Guam is pretty miserable.

Biden was a big ole mistake and 95% of Dems aren't afraid to admit that. Trump was nominated three consecutive times and there are still idiot MAGAS who don't understand and acknowledge that mistake. Intelligence advantage is firmly in the Dem's favor.

You still don’t explain why Biden or his handlers didn’t release the files if they are the holly grail of truth that every Democrat on this board now claims them to be. Why, Why, Why ? Stop hiding behind Biden was a mistake, that doesn’t cut it.

Europe is not walking away because NATO as we know it would seize to exist when one member attacks another. You are talking about Greenland as if it’s an undiscovered land but it is Denmark. You are declaring war on Denmark, part of Scandinavia - Arctic warfare veterans, neighbor to Germany, in the heart of Europe, member of the European Union. Europe would have no choice but to stand with Denmark, and Canada, and half the Pacific would join them. You know who will offer aid then to get rid of the aggressor?

“When an ally attacks another ally the enemy of my enemy becomes my friend.” We have seen this movie before and those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

And should be treated accordingly.

Treated by who exactly, the vaunted Danish military ? Like it or not, Trump has the “cards” on this one.

NATO

There is no NATO without the US. That’s a reality you can’t deny when you start analyzing the relative military capabilities. T of course knows this.

You're thinking the US would commit to a full scale global conflict? No, they wouldn't. There are more than enough military resources to push back on Trump. And the global sanctions against the US would be crippling. The US would be descend into the relative dark ages for the sole purpose of entertaining the mad king.

WTF are you talking about ? If the US decided to put more installations there it, it would be up to whatever is left to stop them. The French have one aircraft carrier, the Germans have zero, the French carrier would never make it out of port. The rest of NATO is defensive, not offensive. They are deathly afraid of this country called Russia, ever heard of them ? They’re not moving any troops to defend Greenland against the US. That’s a joke.

First of all, as an ALLY of DENMARK, the U.S. has already been welcome to put military installations there. So there is nothing to gain by this hostile stance.

Secondly, on paper alone, by sheer superiority in numbers and everything else, Russia should have taken Ukraine within a month. Nearly 3 years later, they are still entrenched where they were for the last two years, and they lost ONE MILLION MEN. Warfare is not determined by what is on paper at the outset.
