This is already an existing base

And an existing agreement to put more military on the ground.

You clowns can’t guard a fence;one.

And where has your outrage been while America’s enemies and rivals meddle in Greenland by attempting to establish a foothold at the most strategic point in North America’s defense?


Riverside, I have searched for any evidence of this. All I can find is reference to Chinese mining attempts. Do you have any links?

Our historically low military presence in Greenland (about 150 personnel) also undermines the "military threat!" argument. As always, I am happy to be educated about a topic.

Thanks

I'm not sure what a "Reddit melt" is but apparently you guys have a hard on to go to war with the rest of NATO. Fantastic.


It was not us who said shoot first ask questions later.


You are being accused of a Reddit melt because it appears that’s where you get your information. You might as well be a liberal from Canada.

The dude is 79 years old and already has more money than he can spend. You idiots, who have very little, will never understand that some people reach a point in life where trying to make more money doesn't matter anymore.

Polar Silk Road initiative.


quote:

Chinese companies have invested in Greenland’s mineral sector. For instance, Shenghe Resources Holding Co Ltd, a Chinese firm, became the largest shareholder in Greenland Minerals Limited, which controls the Kvanefjeld Project—a site rich in rare earth elements, zinc, and uranium. Between 2019 and 2024, China’s share of Greenland’s exports rose from about 0-5% to around 23%, focusing on resources like iron, rare earths, and uranium.

Thanks, dgnx6. So, the plan is to stop any Chinese economic ties with Greenland?

So there's no current military threat from Russia or China, right?

"Vessel tracking data from maritime data and intelligence websites such as MarineTraffic do not show the presence of Chinese or Russian ships near Greenland."

This is just salesmanship from the President when he says that Greenland "is covered" with Russian and Chinese ships?

I'm not on Reditt, they don't appreciate my sarcasm.

My info is from regular places.

The type of thing you guys apparently either don't care about or have to explain away as okay, because Trump is still getting those brown people out of the country like Jesus is telling him to.

Under a little-known Cold War agreement, the United States already enjoys sweeping military access in Greenland. Right now, the United States has one base in a very remote corner of the island. But the agreement allows it to “construct, install, maintain, and operate” military bases across Greenland, “house personnel” and “control landings, takeoffs, anchorages, moorings, movements, and operation of ships, aircraft, and waterborne craft.”


Trump never asks a question that he doesn’t already know the answer to.

If he’s talking about it, it’s pretty much done.

The EU is planning a massive attack response. It should be hilarious. Let them keep thinking they are going to war

They can't even keep violent immigrants out of their own communities and the US already collectively pays for well over 50% of their military defense. But yeah, they're going to take our bases, right?

I am shocked that you don't understand how core this is to Trump's worldview. Everything is an avenue for profit to him. This is a guy who sees charities as a way to make money. Do you think he thought the Trump Bible was a way to improve the world?

I thought nothing would surprise me about y'all, but here we are.

BTW, I did see that this idea came to him in his previous stint from the Estee Lauder heir, which makes sense, he gets another thing from some rich buddy.
