You don't even wanna know the budget for the Space Force in 2026, someone told Trump about the Kuiper belt.:eek:

"Elon has told me it is the best belt, the biggest belt, and we will tighten it around the moon!!".

If Elon can persuade the numbskull to throw cash at moving space exploration forward, I’m all for it. Tell him he can have a casino on Mars. He’ll love it.

What area would that be? Are you suggesting that America could threaten Greenland with violence? Or use it?

Careful now, you're potentially talking about directly trampling on the freedoms of other people.

Trump already did directly threaten them/Denmark with military force. That's where we're actually at. And diffusion seems to unironically be on board with that.

Tbh, if the US wanted to take greenland and canada, I'm not sure what either could do about it. Not that I'm for such drastic stuff. Moose and bear cavalry might work

So already, that's not a direct threat. FAKE NEWS.

But you're only halfway there. Use full quotes with complete context and maybe you'll figure it out.

He was asked whether he would rule out using economic or military pressure to take Greenland and the Panama Canal. His answer was no. If you have information saying otherwise, please share it.

No, they couldn't do much. But they would invoke article 5, NATO would effectively be dead (the US would be breaching the treaty as a whole), and WW3 would be much closer to reality.

Hipster retreats for those wanting ‘the Inuit experience’ - it'll become the artic euqilvilent to Bali I imagine, only to be ruined when McDonalds inevitably takes hold and starts pushing the McWhale special. The local communities won't be particually interested of course - they'll be more intrigued by the introduction of opiods to while away the days they used to spend fishing to survive.

Anyway, what a silly idea.

So, no quotes, let alone full context.

But for the sake of argument, let's say your characterization here is 100% correct. Answering that question with "no" does not constitute a direct threat as you claimed.

Funny how Denmark was omitted :D
Well yeah. We're not gonna allow Denmark to be in America and thus be the same country as Greenland. They need to be treated as the sad little goiter on the continent which they are. On the outside looking in, forevermore.

The Danish state minister, Mette Frederiksen, has stated its up to Greenland to make that decision. Public opinion polls seem to lean into that the Danish populace wants Greenland to remain part of the commonwealth and that its more beneficial to them (Greenland). Trump Jr. openly saying that 'there seems to be a lot of racism for Greenland in Denmark' is so surreal. Regardless of what you hear/read the relationship with Greenland has been amicable.

I honestly don't know what to think anymore.

This entire world situation seems like an absurd fever dream. These next few years are going to be some strange and hard times we'll have to endure. And its all because of one raving megalomaniac over in Russia and his unresolved insanity.

Fine, here:


Asked if he would rule out using military or economic force in order to take over the autonomous Danish territory or the Canal, he responded: "No, I can't assure you on either of those two.

Enough of a quote for you? Or you could just watch the actual video.

It's suspiciously like how Russia was talking about Ukraine (that people there were oppressed and needed to be liberated etc) before invading.

Two raving megalomaniacs.

Trump: Remember the British Empire? That was good, that was a good Empire, the British one, I've been thinking we could do it today but for America! The American Empire! That has a nice ring to it!

Trump must be one of those men how think of the British Empire every day.
 
I saw an article this morning that Canada wants to buy Alaska and Minnesota from the United States!


Honestly….hmmm….(US reacting) How to put this politely…

Seriously though, my snark aside, we live in wild times and it appears times of massive change. I completely understand everyone feeling uneasy.

I can just imagine the 1st round of Christian megapasters, deplaning and declaring Greenland holy land from god.

If it came down to the 11th hour, I have a hard time believing well go in guns blazing to Greenland.


Now Panama, guns blazing, I can see that.

Yeah

We know the US can do whatever they want and UN wont do shit, but let's chill.

Russia invading isnt surprising, but the US doing it in 2025 is surreal.


Hopefuly those are some hollow words from Trump just like making Mexico pay for the wall and etc.
 
This is how I feel all recent news. Drones, weird Mist, Greenland, Panama, China social media saying another pandemic is coming, Trudeau resignation, etc.

lol... not gonna happen.
Greenland is interested in independence, not "indipendence from Denmark to be then dependent to the USA
But even then Greenland survives also on money coming from Denmark, so nothing's gonna really happen

It's funny seeing a PM resigning in that list, like something so mundane is as hard to believe to as the others.
