BREAKING: Trump says that the US feels 'that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity'

Trump:

“For purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity.”

“No”

Ok, I think that we can now wrap this up.

Basically, the question is whether the Western Media and the Globalists get to decide which election results we’re to believe. You discounted their BIGGEST CLAIM, by far, which was that Trump won due to Russian interference and collusion in 2016.

And that is fine and I agree with you (of course). What we now have in common is that we both believe that the Western Media and the Globalists will LIE TO US when it suits their goals...and therefore we should not take them at their word.

And that’s all I’m saying - which is that if an election goes against them, I’m not going to take their word that fraud was involved, just as I didn’t take their word in 2016, and neither did you.

Enjoy the New Year!

libh8er Maybe, but they are autonomous enough (since 2009) that if they choose they can become completely independent. As in independent of Denmark. If they can become completely independent of Denmark then they can also be persuaded to join the United States or enter some kind of alliance. It’s entirely up to the people of Greenland.

You are correct.

Denmark has no say in this

They could be persuaded to join the USA, but then the question of Puerto Rico will also be brought up and we also have to reckon with the fact that Greenland has nationalized health care that works pretty well

None of it is insurmountable, but it's not easy either.

9yearlurker -- Ukraine was never "half Russian speaking" - as in exclusively Russian

Under the later Tsars, from 1870 onwards AND during the Soviet period there was extensive Russification, i.e. the banning of local language (the French also did this using the Parisian dialect in France, killing off Occitan, Garcon, etc. etc. and the English did this using the Midlands dialect over York, Sussex etc.)

It is a simplification to say "they spoke Russian so are to be subjects of the Russian federation" - Zelenskyy is also a native Russian speaker, that was his first language and there are many like him and many Ukrainians whose parents were from what is now the Russian Federation.

Note that all Scots and nearly all Irish speak English exclusively - and the vast majorities of native Scots and native Irish can't speak their native languages, but does that make them English?
