I Thought Cuba Was “Next”

Whenever Trump says “us,” you get the sense he has a mouse in his pocket.
The United States already has the ability to maintain military bases and conduct defense operations in Greenland under the 1951 Defense Agreement with the Kingdom of Denmark.

The people of Greenland have chosen to remain part of the Kingdom of Denmark, and that choice must be respected.
Trump isn’t talking about military bases (after all, he wants to pull them out of Europe). He’s talking about letting his buddies exploit Greenland’s natural resources. Whether Greenland likes it, or not. Once he’s bought it, it’s his, right?
Donald Trump has revived plans to buy Greenland, according to officials close to the discussions.

A deal to purchase the territory is now the US president’s preferred option to end a long-running dispute with Denmark.

The new position would represent a collapse in talks between the two countries regarding enhanced security and US access to the island
Greenland is not for sale. That has been made unequivocally clear by the Danish Government, the Government of Greenland, and the people of Greenland.

Greenland has chosen the Kingdom of Denmark. That choice must be respected.

Any decision about Greenland’s future belongs to the people of Greenland—not to any other country. This should be respected by everyone, including President Donald Trump.

Respect for sovereignty, international law, and every nation’s right to determine its own future are fundamental principles that the international community must uphold.
At this point it would be very helpful if Congressional leadership would step up and say: “Ain’t fuckin’ happenin’.” Past time to reign this fool in.
Denmark will defend Greenland, Mette Frederiksen says after Trump’s threat

Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said ahead of the NATO summit that the alliance’s most important message is that NATO remains strong and united in an uncertain time.

Her message on Greenland was equally clear.

“Greenland is not for sale. Denmark is a sovereign state, and we are prepared to defend every part of NATO and the Kingdom of Denmark,” she said firmly.

Seriously. Long past time.
In Greenland, we do not forget. You have absolutely nothing — nothing — to say about Greenland. Focus on doing your job as Governor of Louisiana. Your state continues to rank among the worst in the United States on education, healthcare, infrastructure, poverty, and so on.

Everything you write about Greenland, is nothing but lies and nonsense.
Does anyone think this makes us look strong?

    I'm beginning to think we're going to be in a full blown depression by Labor Day. And if the current round of defense contracting is anything to go by, several of he big defense contractors here are going to be on life support. I wonder if by the time Trump tried to invade if Denmark might be able to kick our ass.
