Next weekend we will have it captured?

Guess we are buying it

Exclusive: Secretary of State Marco Rubio told lawmakers in a closed briefing that President Trump wants to buy Greenland, and that recent threats are meant to push Denmark into negotiations.

schisms in the ranks

Trump’s a basket case in the best of times, but in fairness to him (of which he deserves very little), it is probably very important for the US to get control of greenland. I’ve no idea who put this idea in his head, but that person probably recognized the geopolitical importance to national security.

Where’s MTG real MAGA response to send tons of money to foreigners

On this point, does anybody know which advisor keeps egging him on to go after greenland? It doesn’t feel like a Rubio thing to me?

It would be the greatest purchase since Alaska. I don’t think there needs to be an advisor egging him on.

Agreed. But to answer @EuroSec ‘s question, it’s Tom Dans. He’s some sketchy deep state / wall street ghoul who has been salivating for this takeover for literally decades.

This guy?

That guy is super fucking weird. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that he’s behind this greenland stuff

Soo bidding war?

“Greenland does not want to be controlled by the U.S.,” says Jens-Frederik Nielsen, prime minister of the Arctic island.

funny how he completely glossed over the 51st state here

Fifteen French mountain infantry soldiers marched onto a runway late Wednesday and boarded a bus labeled “Greenland Excursions,” their first step in a mission to deter a U.S. invasion of the Arctic island.

At an air base 200 miles north, a Danish C-130 military plane unloaded Swedish troops, while a 13-person German Army reconnaissance team mobilized for a two-day deployment.

A small yet unprecedented buildup of European military and diplomatic assets is unfolding in the High North, where America’s closest allies are trying to raise the price for Greenland. Their goal is in part to show the U.S. that Greenland won’t be “easy prey,” as one senior European official put it.

It is a first for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization: European members are sending troops to a friendly territory in the hopes of deterring their biggest ally from launching military action.
