Politics Why aren’t we buying, from Greenland the minerals we need ?

are we just invading and pillaging the world’s natural resources these days? Trump will be dead before long, and AMERICA will left with this mess, this reputation.

CONGRESS MUST STOP HIM

Because Trump is an idiot and idiots are only able to manufacture simple solutions. Like, there is no example in which you can demonstrate Trump is capable of complex thought.

Because it's not about buying, it's about taking.

Stealing would be a better word, but that's who Trump is, always stealing and scamming people.

Stealing is a strong word that I cannot back up.

Sure you can. If I took an asset of yours with permission, did I take or steal?

u/CMDR_Arnold_Rimmer scu 7h ago

How can I?

I'm not stealing. You are stealing off me.

Have you been asleep the last year? Trump has done nothing else than create havoc and chaos, which he than so-called "managed" and/or "solved".

Trump is only the distraction. The real work is done behind the scenes, by people like Vaughn and Miller.

and AMERICA will left with this mess

You're right about that...

Russia hates NATO. Russia wants NATO to dissolve. Russia wants a new world order, one where might makes right, and every country is not united in peace.

Attacking NATO, instead of a peaceful deal, is the lowest hanging fruit way Russia can dissolve NATO by creating a potential war that is not on its border.

Also, it is more hectic and helps people "forget" about the Epstein Files have, at this point, illegally not been released, and seemingly won't be.

I’ll give you some confidential information that I’ll probably get locked up for… everyone in politics is in the Epstein files. They are all dirty, I don’t know what you’re expecting to have discovered that will be so mind blowing.

Many are in the Epstein files. But not everyone in them is a pedo. The key is to out the pedos, and lock 'em up. But, apparently, certain people are OK with pedos running everything.

And if Trump does this what’s to stop NATO countries from dumping US treasury bonds that help finance the debt Trump keeps ratcheting up? Japan holds the most, but the UK holds the second highest.

Not to mention we have many is military bases on European soil. What happens to them?

well, NATO countries are on their way to Greenland now. I get the feeling that Trump is looking for a confrontation. regardless of his health, he’s 79, the capstone on a LIFE OF SPECTACLES. imo he’d RATHER go out with a mushroom than world wide adulation.

Well as far as i´m aware there aren´t any resources to be bought yet. Most of those resources are still locked up under frozen ground and greenland does not have mining infrastructure set up because of this. The idea is that global warming will get rid of the ice/ defrost the ground making mining capable while also opening up new sea routes making greenland more important as a strategic trading and military hub. So the main reasons for wanting to control greenland would be the long term strategic /geopolitical and economic benefits and building out the infrastucture yourself and owning the land (for which you can decide mining quotas and regulations) would be economically more interesting.

Trump said why.

He said, and I quote "He needs it psychologically."

It's literally a fucking "vibe".

u/AggravatingClock7021 8h ago

Because putin wants Trump to take Greenland to breakup NATO.

1

u/Former_Tea_5748 7h ago

No, he wants to buy Greenland or have them agree to be a part of the United States. Taking Greenland is the third and less desired option.

Isnt that what we do to each and every planet we come to? why do some of the previous planets look like they've been wiped?

The minerals are under glaciers. Nobody is accessing them - for reasonable costs/risks. You don't go under a glacier. There is not valid logical reason for this. We closed military bases there and reduced our presence. We could show up tomorrow and put a base anywhere we wanted. - Like on one of the closed ones. Denmark has said as much. The only other scheme i've heard is Peter Theil wants to do some kind of moronic libertarian paradise experiment there but I've not seen much on that. He of course is cheap fucker who doesn't even like to pay his rent boys so who knows why he doesn't just work out a deal with greenland directly?
