Greenland has a lot of valuable minerals.

The idea of using our military on it is ridiculous.

Greenland has a lot of valuable minerals.

More importantly, it shows the growing strategic importance of controlling the arctic.

I totally agree. I think the long game here is to have Greenland declare independence and then petition to join the US.

This will ensure that the billions of dollars we would have to pay the Dutch will go to the Greenlanders.

There are only two kinds of people in the world that Trump hates, people who discriminate based on race and the Dutch.

Art off the deal.

Nixon was asked similar questions about the use of the military, nukes, etc. After his presidency he explained that he left ALL options on the table. Even if he was 99% sure he would not use an option, he didn’t think our enemies needed to know that.

Seems pretty ridiculous with regard to the canal or Greenland though. Until Russia starts setting their eye on Greenland, or the Chinese in Panama.

Look at the geopolitical landscape. Arctic trade routes and proximity to America. China owns and is buying millions of acres right here in America. Much of it is near military bases. People need to wake up… and think.
