Summary
Trump stated the U.S. will “go as far as we have to go” to gain control of Greenland, citing national and international security needs.
JD Vance will visit Greenland’s Pituffik military base, scaling back a broader visit amid backlash from Greenland and Denmark.
Greenlandic Prime Minister Mute Egede condemned the move as “aggressive pressure” and insisted that “Greenland belongs to the Greenlanders.”
Trump has repeatedly expressed interest in acquiring Greenland, asserting that U.S. control is essential for security.
Why? Why does he want greenland?
Seems to be a combination of Putin sowing chaos, trump desperately wanting to be just like his comrade boyfriend by illegally annexing sovereign territory and just general dick-swinging. We already have a base there. I guess they just want to waste more money by occupying a tundra. He must have some contractors that he owes.
Time to toss him on his ass. I’m sick of this horseshit.
If Europe is allowing Israel to illegally annex sovereign territories, why not allow the US to do the same?
Don’t think for a second that I support that nonsense either. Too many innocent people are being slaughtered because of the greed fueling a handful of leaders. Too many nations are unfortunately complicit. Time for a change
You’re right, I hope change arrives soon.
Strategic control of the melting Arctic, half of which is bordered by Russia and the other half by Greenland and Canada, both of which Trump wants to invade. Also a foothold in Greenland would be useful in an assault on Canada, whose resources both Putin and Trump want. Canada would be fully surrounded by the USA and Russia.
Okay, that makes sense, not good sense, but it’s not just the inane ramblings of a mad man.
That makes sense. I always thought it was to build their POs AI datacenter due to their infrastructure.

Disagree on the Putin part. Putin is one of the richest and is the most powerful man in Russia, so he’s included in your rich cabal, but he’s also signaled for years that he’s a geopolitical colonizer and wants to reunite Soviet Union states. His main opposition is NATO which he’s able to dismantle with the help of Trump, thus opening up the door to further fracture resistance to his actions.
There’s a substantial amount of circumstantial evidence pointing to Trump being a Russian asset, his latest policies only further confirm that.
The rich cabal you’re talking about absolutely hitched their wagon to Trump to make money in the instability to come, but they don’t give a shit about Greenland. It’s a pawn that they don’t care about, but their friend Putin does.

It’s still really far north and you’ll never be able to grow as much since the season is so short. Also have the never ending darkness and sunlight. Not to mention lots of it is muskeg that has been frozen for centuries. And it’s not as good as you make it sound.
Definitely not a side-effect. This is the main effect. The dissolution of NATO is his main goal. Besides personal grifting, Trump’s strict allegiance to Putin has been his one consistency since 2016.
For concentration camps
He’s a fucking idiot, there is no true reason beyond that. Dude’s so stupid he doesn’t realize he’s a foreign agent.

He’s surrounded by a bunch of people who play HoI for the wrong reasons.
