    This is just gaslighting. The us can already set up military bases in Greenland. But they decided to get rid of some instead.

    This isn’t about security. It is about a corrupt president who wants the Epstein files to be forgotten and maybe about resources but looking at the competence of the administration, someone probably just played too much Risk…

      Personally I suspect it’s actually about Vance and Miller needing a way to get Trump’s attention back from Rubio after Venezuela. Trump is currently fixated on military intervention after he got a “win” so they need a target they know Rubio won’t follow them on, hence Greenland.

      Were that true, they’re really bad at it. Everyone knows that if you’re gonna sabre-rattle about taking an island nation, New Zealand is the one you want. Plus, never ally yourself with anyone dumb enough to get into a land-war in Ukraine.
