In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Since a lot of the world relies upon the US to keep them safe, why object to what would help the US in providing even more protection?

Fun fact, the only country to invoke NATO is the United States. And Denmark specifically, sacrificed more of it's citizens in Afghanistain (as a percentage of it's population) - for our protection - than any other member.

Who has the greatest military might and capability to provide global protection, especially to the west?

Do you believe we are stronger by remaining in NATO?

Probably. But I don't know why you're asking that. Are you planning to ask me a series of questions in order to make a point?

Sure, the point being we are stronger with NATO - which includes Denmark/Greenland. Any argument in support of taking Greenland, against the will of Denmark, assumes the U.S. will no longer be a NATO member.

The Australian ABC news had this opinion piece about the US taking Greenland. It thought there were three options - a US military takeover (most unlikely); buying Greenland but I doubt if the Greenlanders are going to sell out for $100,000 each; or a "Compact of Free Trade Association" as per the article, which to me seems the most likely.


As an aside my prophetic Presbyterian pastor said years ago thought that there might one day be an American (world wide) dictatorship. He commented "It might even be "good" at first, but eventually everything would have to be done for America". He made that comment over 30 years ago since he died himself in 1992, but I'm getting a sense of deja vu about it.

Having seen Trump in action I could well believe it. He's kidnapped Maduro, and now he wants Venezuela's oil, as though the USA should have sole rights to another country's assets.

I've long thought the Anti-Christ would be an American politician. I don't think it's Trump but I believe he's helping to set the stage.

The United States needs more Lebensraum. We will also bring civilization and the True Christian faith to the savages inhabitants of the land. France and Denmark are already making threats of war against the United States. If their aggressive tone continues, they will encounter the full weight of the Heer, Krigsmarine, und Luftwaffe.
I'm already looking forward to your posts when you and your shipmates grudgingly push the world into complete disarray at the behest of Trump.

They are really one of my high points during the polycrisis.

China and Russia already feel empowered to continue expansionist dreams.
And our current arrangement with Greenland doesn't permit the looting and pillaging which seems to be his primary goal overseas.

Trump's senior advisor - Steven Miller.
Rubio has hinted the U.S. will buy Greenland. But there's a small issue - the Danes have made it clear (repeatedly) that it's not for sale.

Is there another option (other than force)?

I suppose so. But this is the usual Trump is Hitler, isn't it?

Greenland would put the US in a better strategic position to keep the world safe. And people are actually protesting that idea.
because the US needs to mind our own darn business and not worry about keeping the world safe (particularly when we all know there are resources that would be of benefit to "making America great again except that the United States is NOT the only country on the block and the U.S sure as heck does not need to invade another country who has neither made threats against us (until we did), nor have they been sending drugs (or other things into our country that are bad. I voted for Trump, but that is one line that if he crosses I will oppose it (strongly) and may even support the other side (at least as opposed to supporting neither side ( even though I would give neither money nor my services to them)

The U.S has NO business with Greenland (unless the Danes offered it. I can promise you if Trump chooses to try to take it by force it would get awfully nasty here and abroad. I am way too young to remember Vietnam ( in fact born in 91 I was not even here yet, but even I know that was nasty protests ( even veterans being abused upon returning home something tells me that if he did that he would not only face protests here, but an awful lot of military personal in court for refusing orders

I never mentioned Hitler. Only Steven Miller. Are you making some kind of correlation?

I'm talking about certain people. According to what I hear from them Trump is Hitler taking over the world; Greenland and Canada are Poland and Czechoslovakia, and Steven Miller is Joseph Goebbels.

There's umpteen polls from umpteen sources out there, and one can probably find at least one to satisfy whatever bias confirmation they have.
Except the ones where the world doesn't now see the US as a growing threat.
