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.

European nations send troops to Greenland. You guys agree with everything he does.

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.

Greenlanders speak out against Danish rule after decades of forced sterilization, poor living conditions: ‘They stole our future’!

Your response reminds of this interview with Elon Musk and a Left leaning reporter.

No substance of truth or insight into your response of a post.

He is pushing our allies away.  I guess that means he is going at it alone.  
Trump family first.

The United States has subsidized the free defense of Greenland since 1941 for Denmark. All through WW2 and all through the Cold War as well. Why do the 'experts' always leave this out?

From the article posted earlier:

The 1951 agreement gave the US the authority to "construct, install, maintain, and operate" military installations in specific locations, most notably Thule Air Base (now Pituffik Space Base). Between these locations and across Greenland's national territory, including its territorial seas and airspace, US forces are granted "unrestricted freedom of operation" under Article V. The Kingdom of Denmark's authority over Greenland is expressly acknowledged in the agreement. The US has "exclusive jurisdiction" over its military troops and defensive zones, which includes exemption from several Danish laws and fees.

Don't know that much about the base. Good up-to-date article that describes all the in's and out's, including the history and current staffing, etc. Sounds to me like the agreement with Denmark basically gives the U,S. carte blanche anyway. So, this seems more about ownership of minerals to me.
