Oh, Trump gave you the secret plans?

I am so sick of this talking point

There is like 20 people at Thule at any time. We intend to turn it into the worlds most ever advanced missile defense system which will in theory be able to deny even nukes on rockets.

Yes we need to own it no one else would ever have the drive, money, or capability to do this

No.

Other than feeling slighted for a Nobel which isn’t important, the rest is accurate and spot on

Sure if true.

Less concerning than the one political party which openly ratified open borders and welfare fraud within the last few months.

you mean how NATO has operated for the last couple decades not beneficial to the US? It’s all been on our dime. Think of GEOTUS as our repo man. They outta be gracious some kneecaps don’t get busted when we collect.

Are you suggesting that our NATO allies have not assisted the US in places like Iraq, Afghanistan, collaborated in peace keeping operations in multiple locations over the years, provided military support like missile defense resources, and joint training opportunities? Because that would be a dumb suggestion.

I think it’s reasonable to point out that the US is the most significant contributor to NATO, but pretending like other nations aren’t critical US interests and missions is just stupid.

So, you now refer to yourself as "This Greenland shite"?

Congrats on the self awareness.

Addressing the OP as asked, assuming the message is real, I don't have a problem with American hegemony and I don't have a problem with the POTUS prioritizing what's in the best interest of the American people. That's what he's supposed to do IMO. That's his job.

I also believe that, in this case, maneuvering strategically and proactively for military reasons is a good thing not only for the US but for the rest of the world. The stronger US hegemony is, the less likely conflicts are to break out internationally.

As always, (again, assuming it is real, which I'm sure it's not) I wish Trump's communication style was more mature, less narcissistic, and classier overall, but I don't have a problem with the substance of the message.

It doesn't concern me nearly as much as the democrats' agenda in Virginia, which is the same as it is everywhere else, but the leftists who post here constantly won't appear in that thread.

Most significant isn’t only significant, and it’s not a free pass for belligerence to people with normal, functioning brains.

Absolutely.

Way too many people, who vote, fall for some of the dumbest shite sometimes. They'll repost fake Russia/China bot account shite without giving it a second thought if it's something that aligns with what they believe/want to believe.

If the US already has de facto military control and is pretty much solely responsible for its defense of Greenland, why shouldn’t we own it?

You (and those like you) continue to operate under archaic assumptions of shared interests.

Had NATO operated as intended Greenland wouldn’t be a point of contention because the member states would have never allowed for Chinese/Russian expansion into the western hemisphere.

It’s so odd how changeable you guys are. Last year MAGA was isolationist, anti war, America first, blah, blah, blah. This year is invade for oil interests, expansionist, war is good, blah, blah, blah. It’s almost like MAGA has no principles, except those that Trump tells them to have. Enjoy that yummy boot flavor boys.
