because THEY CAN"T.

If this were really to happen (and I don’t think it will), that could all be negotiated. You’re only talking about 58K people.

The US doesn’t really need to annex this. But there should some agreement/treaty whatever, to get some significant US bases there before the Chinese and Russians weasel their way in. Maybe, they can already do this under NATO. Presented properly, all would welcome. (I realize that’s not what’s happening right now.)

Yeah this is the problem.

It is crazy this is even being discussed. Period.

There is nothing to negotiate and there sure as heck should not be any military "solution"

Greenland presents no risk, it is in the hands of a longtime ally with absolutely no threat or risk to the US.

Trump should be removed from office as well as any advisors who are pushing this.

There is no proper presentation necessary. The people there are happy with the status quo. Trump is simply distracting from his blunder in VZ and the Epstien Files and our failing economy.

Denmark has repeatedly said they would allow the US to put more bases in Greenland. That offer is already on the table. This is not about national security. If this was about national security, why would the US destroy NATO to get Greenland? That doesn't make sense.

You apparently aren’t following this closely. This isn’t about Greenland being a threat. It’s an incredibly large piece of land strategically located between Europe and North America. And it’s virtually uninhabited. The US should have a military and commercial presence there, given all the places we have troops across the globe. And yes, we should get Danish approval. But, Trump has his own way.

Because that is the goal. Russia is an ally now.

We were always at war with NATO.

That is what is coming.

There is already a military presence there! The US has a base on Greenland and can build more if it wants to. As far as a commercial presence goes, Denmark has never stopped the US from doing business in Greenland.

Trump’s kids and his billionaire bro kids won’t fight in WWIII. It will be the tax paying masses who will pay with their money and their kids’ lives.

MAGAs you will encourage your kids to go fight for your stupidity right.....right?

Yeh whatever, everybody has a price. There is no NATO w/o the US, you do realize that right ? What benefit does US get from being in NATO at this point, the obligation to defend Poland when the Russians show up ? Europe needs NATO, not US does not.

The Danes have offered land for bases (and there are bases there already)

This is nothing more than satisfying a wannabe emperor.

I guess you never studied history, but the US and its globalnational corporations have enjoyed ridiculous economic benefit for the relative nickles it spends on defense to the benefit of american workers the american research regime, american education systems and so on. The US Dollar being the global currency until this year has been a HUGE benefit to the US, but sure, let's blow it all up so we can have wars again and let the Cryptocurrencies controlled by the russian mob take over.

Because that is what's happening.

I dispute your premise. It's currently a Danish territory. Denmark is a far superior country to the United States with MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY more benefits than Americans get. So, maybe try again?
