    Yeah, so regardless if the US actually does it or not, if I was Denmark and Canada, I would be investing heavily in defending territories marked by Putin.

    It’s so weird that Putin would communicate his plan with Trump, but at least he did it and the rest of the world can predict what he will do next.

    If Putin gains control of Canada and Greenland, the Artic becomes his “Panama Canal.”

    Ukraine gives him more control over the black sea.

    He’s trying to take control of trade routes.

      It’s actually worse than that:

      With Trump+Musk smashing Canada & Greenland,

      THEN Trump & Putin can DESTROY the hated-by-them EU, & butcher ALL of Europe,

      making them the exclusive “kings” of the still-functioning world.

      It isn’t subjugation they want, it is destruction.

    As a Louisiana resident disgusted with what’s happening I make a solemn promise to the people of Greenland and Canada: when it gets below 40°F (4°C, 277K, 500° Rankine, etc.), I will just lay down and die before I fight someone. I was in Montreal in February once and I would have surrendered immediately had someone said the POW camp has mittens.

        No. I’ll be unjustifiably confident and maybe I’ll live or die. But there’s actually a difference between regular cold and cold that hurts even if you’re wearing fancy pants.

    Greenland, no sane American wants to take your country from you. Sorry our “president” sucks. He’s an idiot. Or malignant narcissistic sociopath.

      He doesn’t want Greenland for itself.

      He wants it as a military-base for destroying the EU from.

      Same as why he wants Canada smashed/consumed.

      Between Putin & Trump, then they can DESTROY the hated-by-them EU, & be “kings” of the whole world.

      This isn’t “politics as usual”, this is TOTAL annihilation-of-civil-rights from the world, & Project 2025 is only the “appetizer” for what’s coming down the shute onto the world next…
