Putin is smarter than all leftist on the planet

This isnt a new thing. The US has been trying to get greenland since right after we bought alaska, and we offered the danes an INSANE amount of money for it after ww2 ended but they rejected it

Exactly. We have been their protectors and they have used us for far too long.

Is anybody here an expert on this Greenland situation? I think I know a couple of things:

1) Greenland has a lot of rare earth minerals.

2) Obviously Greenland is coveted for defense purposes.

What else?

I mean this whole fricking nation is an absolute shite show right now, but Trump will still be remembered as one of the greatest Presidents in US history if he pulls off a Greenland acquisition.

If we manage to sneak Alberta, Saskatchewan, Yukon and NT from Canada during Trump’s term, he'll be the uncontested GOAT and liberals will self-immolate en masses.

I mean, the EU showed how super-cereal they are about Greenland by sending what, like 28 total troops to the Island Territory? We could send 10 baws from central Texas and own the island before breakfast.

It’s important to Trumps ego.

Part of this is because Trump does want Greenland.

But, bigger thing Trump wants to blow up NATO.
Greenland is a means to the end of NATO.

See my post above.

We have been trying to buy Greenland for like over 100 something years. We offered them cash for it right after we bought Alaska from Russia. This has been a US project for a Long time

So for those saying it is about trumps ego, it’s not, and as to your post maybe Trump wants to do away with nato im no fan of nato but it would just be a happy coincidence for him.

Of course Putin would support this move. It would break NATO. The Russians are celebrating on state tv right now.

NATO is already broken.

After the way they’ve treated us my entire life I personally wouldn’t fight on behalf of any of them outside of England Poland and Hungary.

Yes, supporting US forces in Afghanistan, sharing intelligence, and hosting US troops all across Europe to aid us in our adventurism all across the world. Terrible allies!

I cant wait to visit Greenland and Iceland too!


I have a trip already booked for Iceland this September. Going to rent a Camper Van and spend 10 days driving the Ring Road. Super excited. Wish I could afford more time.
I would have rented a 4WD camper van and also spent a week in the highlands.

“Hosting US troops”

Dude you’re fricking delusional. Those of our men over there are to protect Europe from Russia and others.

Also I fought in Iraq and Afghanistan? Did you? How much do you know about how much they actually did?

The only one that did shite was the UK, who I would come to the aid to

“Sharing intelligence”

I was working in HUMINT with centcom. All of them but Englands intel is garbage and worthless 5 eyes is a laughable joke

Allies do not exist. Never have. They do what they want for their goals. Allies have your back. They are our enemies. UK is run by Islamic Satanist. You think those bastards have our back. They backed down because it is in their best interest to do so.
