I'm not sure what you are talking about when you are insinuating Trump is gonna take Greenland.  He just said he'll not use force.  Personally I think he'll make a deal.  You know, that's what he does!

Really seems there's a big rush for control of rare earth minerals by the superpowers.

Look at where it is located and why you think it ight be important.....

What if China "made a deal" or Russia "made a deal" ?

Instead of just being against it because Trump is for it, research the why behind it.  You may find you agree with something Trump is planning.

Yeah, our supposed allies. The only time they are our allies is when they are getting conquered and need American lives, strength, and know-how to save them. Funny, Canada and Germany have no claim to Greenland.

If Trump can get them to understand the strategic importance of Greenland to everyone, it’s a good thing. The other NATO countries haven’t been paying attention as climate change opens up more passageways and access. The Russians and Chinese have been paying attention. Russia used to have more icebreakers than anyone. Don’t know for sure now. But, it’s probably still true.

So many people haven’t been paying attention to global events that have been building for decades. Trump is bringing them up now, and people are being caught flat-footed. He really needs to explain his vision and reasons to the American public to get their understanding & buy-in. Lord knows, he talks about a bunch of other useless, petty crap.
