“The left dramatizes everything”

You really don’t think demanding an allied territory be handed over, refusing to rule out military action against a NATO ally, starting a trade war against some of your closest allies because they won’t hand it over, and in all likelihood bringing about the downfall NATO which has been the lynchpin of peace in Western Europe for 75 years is dramatic? Really? I would hate to think what you think is dramatic 🤣

Not everything is left vs right. Some things just are dramatic whether you support the idea or not, whether you love the guy making the call or hate him. 

Funny how even at the height of the cold war when Russia had a significantly stronger military,  Greenland didn’t “need” to be part of the US. The US and NATO being able to defend it however they saw fit was more than enough.

A “self thinker” would surely wonder what has changed since then. I’ll give you a hint, it’s rare and underneath the ground Haha

It's not heavily populated and is critical for security of the Northwest passage.

We can offer far more than the Danes.

Plus. . .rare earths are cool....they make strong magnets.

What do we need strong magnets for ?!?!

Yep, but the vast majority of those residents don’t want to be part of the US

How can we say Russia cannot take over Ukraine and China cannot take Taiwan to serve their interests, yet have western countries doing the same, but it’s say ok because there are less people.

It is critical for the security of the Northwest passage, so protect it all you want, that’s why NATO exists 

Sure rare earths are just about big magnets, if that’s the case those clambering for those billion dollar deals must be total fools with really big fridges. 😂

Canada put 100% on evs at the request of trump. It got the country no where with no good faith from trump. What did you expect Canada to do? Sit in the corner and not trade with there second biggest trade partner?

This is completely false- in 2024 Trudeau imposed tariffs on Chinese imports to protect the Canadian auto industry and national security..

I guess those things don’t matter anymore…and tariffs are only bad when Trump does it.

 

 

He imposed the tariffs so they would line up with US policy because the CDN auto industry IS the US auto industry. 
Tariffs are fine and work well until you choose to use them as a form of economic warfare and change them every few weeks. Governments, businesses and consumers don’t really like that. It creates a massive amount of pressure, doubt and lack of confidence. 
Governments and industry don’t want trade partners that operate on knee jerk reactions. 
China, India and many others are cleaning up as a result of America’s terrible trade policy.

They don’t want what you can offer. 
America has a rich history of delivering misery and hardship with any kind of offer of assistance. 
The worst thing a country can hear is “we are the US and we are here to help”.

This is something that has been nagging at me for a little while and I never could really put it into words well until I heard someone talking about this over the long weekend.  It's paraphrased so a little bit of the wording is mine but the general thoughts are a mix of mine and whoever was on in the background while cleaning the garage.  

----------------------------------------------------

The only reason the U.S. would need full control of Greenland is if NATO is being treated as disposable, and we are planning to jump out.

As things stand, there’s no strategic deficiency.  We already have basing rights, there is Danish sovereignty with Greenlandic self-rule, and NATO’s collective defense. Nothing about that setup requires ownership or unilateral control.

So when 'strategic importance' is used to justify talk of control, it’s not a neutral observation, it assumes something else is coming. Namely, a future where alliance guarantees don’t matter, or aren’t intended to survive.  Specifically the NATO alliance.  

If NATO remains intact, this discussion is pointless.
If Trump intends to pull the U.S. out (or hollow it out) then Greenland suddenly becomes a very different conversation.

That seems to be the point that none of the politicians or talking heads are really addressing hard enough.  

Why does NATO need Greenland?  Seems to me they have much bigger fishes to worry about. . .Putin and Lukoshenko are the dynamic duo. Lukoshenko knows Putin...

Why does NATO need Greenland?

Lukoshenko knows Putin has been poisoning him, same as Kadyrov. . .

Putin is now paranoid between those two and Ucraine.....how many have fallen out of windows or had sudden heart attacks?

It's a matter of time before Putin falls....or kills everyone.

I'm still waiting for someone to point out what, exactly, you guys want to do in terms of polar security that you can't already do or couldn't have done with a quiet discussion with Greenland's leadership and a couple boatfulls of cash.

The problem with the left these days is they no longer stand of their principles…They simple oppose everything Trump does..

Which is why we see the left stand with dictators, mobs, murderers, communists, illegals, socialists..

It’s too predictable and quite hilarious to watch..

We have folks saying it’s a good thing Canada is aligning with the communist Chinese who steal IP, ignore patents and manipulate their currency…Nobody in their “right mind” thinks that’s a good idea ..

This reply is a perfect example- it’s like you all lost your minds after Trump was elected, incapable of self thought..

Sorry, you’re just not getting it…

Let me help you- Do you see the Trump administration taking steps to get close or further from China? Then do the same question on Canada..

Donny is like the slimiest sales guy at the car dealership. Some of you guys are so dense you won’t even know what happened until you try and trade your truck in seven years from now. 

I do wonder what’s going on behind the scenes that the administration is trying to distract everybody from?

it sure is a mystery

I would not say they are taking drastic steps to get away from China. 

They are wisely trying to take back some production of chips.
Watch how cozy Trump would get with China if they started selling US treasury bonds. 
Even Trump said the Canada-China deal was a “good thing”.

 I can see the spin now..........

 

This just in........ The Trump admin just cleared things up. It was never about Greenland, it was always Iceland they wanted. 

Trump quoted  " Its always been about Iceland, anybody saying we want Greenland is fake news and a sucker loser  fat ugly piggy"

  This sucks for the US workers who would be building the ships . 

 Whats next?   

 

I just hope that people who support some of what Trump does, speak out against the things they do not like. So he can see that he can in fact do wrong. 

 

Russia is LOVING it .   Just take a look at the search results when You google " Russian article that praises Trump's actions on Greenland "

 

If the US ends up taking Greenland by force then we would likely be kicked out of Nato and be more alone . Its sad how a single President can damage the relationships the US has built over centuries .   Hopefully this is all just Trump bullshiting like many of his supports say. Notice I did not group everybody together. 

 

 Just because You dislike some things, doesn't change that You support the others. But if You never speak out against the things You dislike, You might as well be giving Your approval. 

 

 Gotta get some work done and get ready for the snow storm that's coming so that it can end up a dud. You know how that is. If I'm not ready we will get 3 feet. If I'm ready for it there will be a few inches. 

 

 I really hope that someday we can start to get along and work together on the big things that we all agree on and have more compromises on the things we disagree on instead of just insulting each other and arguing over if somebody was Left or Right, Red or Blue, or some other BS.  At this point I don't care who started this style of politics, I care who steps up to end it. Stop the scaring supporters  and demonizing the other side and try to come together.  In my opinion  great leader unites and gets people to work together.

“The left dramatizes everything”

You really don’t think demanding an allied territory be handed over, refusing to rule out military action against a NATO ally, starting a trade war against some of your closest allies because they won’t hand it over, and in all likelihood bringing about the downfall NATO which has been the lynchpin of peace in Western Europe for 75 years is dramatic? Really? I would hate to think what you think is dramatic 🤣

Not everything is left vs right. Some things just are dramatic whether you support the idea or not, whether you love the guy making the call or hate him. 

Funny how even at the height of the cold war when Russia had a significantly stronger military,  Greenland didn’t “need” to be part of the US. The US and NATO being able to defend it however they saw fit was more than enough.

A “self thinker” would surely wonder what has changed since then. I’ll give you a hint, it’s rare and underneath the ground Haha

"Yep, but the vast majority of those residents don’t want to be part of the US"

How do you know that? You don't know what they have been offered or will be offered?

But you all are probably happy now that Trump confirmed we will not militarily invade Greenland.

Should put that argument to rest, but I know it won't same as we still have people claiming it's to distract from some files.
