I doubt there's an actual issue. Just the usual hype and paranoia.I don't understand your point. You started with "America wanting to establish a strategic foothold in Greenland"
Well, it already has one, yes, because it's a good location. What more do we need?
Denmark has expressed its willingness to have more US bases (as indeed there were in the past).
How easy do you think it was to go in, get Maduro, and get out so quickly and smoothly? Do you think the others were all in the same room with Maduro holding hands waiting to be arrested?....that be like saying, we got rid of hitler, but Hermann Göring will take over. so everythigns fine!
my point is, you claim it was about getting a despot, but instead you get the oil and keep the same despots.How easy do you think it was to go in, get Maduro, and get out so quickly and smoothly? Do you think the others were all in the same room with Maduro holding hands waiting to be arrested?
So there's no issue. America doesn't need anything more in Greenland. The hype and paranoia comes from the president.I doubt there's an actual issue. Just the usual hype and paranoia.
Reassuring an ally that your country isn’t going to take belligerent actions against them isn’t usually necessary, when it is necessary, there’s something broken.Trump has not threatened Denmark. He just hasn't said "I will not use force". There's always so much hyperbole and melodrama when it comes to describing anything Trump says. Or in this case, even over what he hasn't said.
Mineral-rights?I don't understand your point. You started with "America wanting to establish a strategic foothold in Greenland"

In my opinion Trump being a realtor is using pressure tactics to get the deal he wants. I'm not endorsing it or defending it, I'm just saying what I think his strategy is. My opinion is worth 2 cents. And my ability to influence or change the situation is 0%.Reassuring an ally that your country isn’t going to take belligerent actions against them isn’t usually necessary, when it is necessary, there’s something broken.
I said Venezuelan citizens are happy that Maduro is gone. And that the US could not have extracted several people the way Maduro was extracted.my point is, you claim it was about getting a despot, but instead you get the oil and keep the same despots.
Most anything the president says or supposedly insinuates is spun into hype by certain media. And those who believe the hype become outraged and/or paranoid.So there's no issue. America doesn't need anything more in Greenland. The hype and paranoia comes from the president.

Yeah I'm sure he's the first president in history to use the military for something like that. Virtually anything Trump does is supposed to be major freak out time.....6 months ago, who imagined Trump would move a Naval battle group to Venezuela for the purpose removing it's head of state? You?
The point is, Trump has already demonstrated he will take action that will harm the long term interest of our country.
That would mirror the arguments made by the founding fathers of our nation, their opposition to a standing army, and the implementation of the 2nd Amendment for the defense of the country.The US military should be decommissioned because anytime the president uses it certain people become hysterical.
Do you really know so little of US history as that? Then I guess you don't know why it was done time after time over the years. Hint: It's being done for the same reason now, despite the dog and pony show Trump put on for his culture war constituency.Yeah I'm sure he's the first president in history to use the military for something like that.

I was being sarcastic of course. But go ahead and enlighten the audience by listening the historical cases you're so familiar with.Do you really know so little of US history as that?

Those on the Left know already and those on the Right won't believe me. If you're all that eager to find out read Smedy Butler on the subject.I was being sarcastic of course. But go ahead and enlighten the audience by listening the historical cases you're so familiar with.
Figured you wouldn't be able to.Those on the Left know already and those on the Right won't believe me. If you're all that eager to find out read Smedy Butler on the subject.

It would be interesting to see how history would have unfolded if the US never had a military.That would mirror the arguments made by the founding fathers of our nation, their opposition to a standing army, and the implementation of the 2nd Amendment for the defense of the country.
Alas, that toothpaste is out of the tube, so to speak.
