  “For purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World,” Mr. Trump wrote on social media, “the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity.”

  Go fuck yourself trump. Even your supporters must know you don’t give a shit about freedom, never have. This is just you being a mob boss wannabe doing a shakedown

  Still absolutely a joke, even if he’s not joking. Even if it happens, it’s a huge joke, just like him.

  It wasn’t a joke the first time, it’s just that after everyone laughed at him he got humiliated and pivoted to “Haha I was just kidding you guys! So funny right?” and tried to play it off.

  But who is motivating him to do so? Orange shit stain never used a single braincell off his own few since his overlord Pootin filmed him dousing minors with piss (pretty sure the Moscow piss videos include CP as pissing is a negligible kink that wouldn’t make him so compliant).

  Who really needs strategic access to Greenland and the Panama channel?

    There’s a mixed bag of old school neocons, bloodthirsty groypers, and profit seeking capitalists who would all love an “easy” land grab in a relatively underdeveloped region. In the same way Israelis marching into Gaza, slaughtering the residents, and sending in waves of geeked up settlers to lay claim to the turf is popular in the Middle East, you could easily find a surplus of poor, angry, desperate young men in the States to free-boot in Latin America or some desolate northern wasteland.

    Greenland has a ton of untapped mineral wealth looked under the ice sheets. Panama’s strategic significance to international shipping is only behind the Suez Canal and Singapore. I’m sure Chinese shipping magnets and mining companies would love to have claims on them both. But this is more about the DC reinforcing its control of the Atlantic than Beijing making a stretch claim on the other side of the world.

    The Soviet-Sino split isn’t even cold in the ground and Model UN brainiacs think Moscow is already fully beholden to Beijing.

      It’s about controlling trade, that’s it.
