The Logic Behind Trump’s Push for U.S. Control of Greenland | The Gateway Pundit | by Patriot Perspective
Listen to the episode: HERE This week on The Patriot Perspective, the conversation turned to one of the most ridiculed foreign-policy ideas of the Trump presidency: the proposal that the United States pursue control over Greenland. For months, Democrats have treated the idea as evidence of...www.thegatewaypundit.com
Yes. It completely ignores the concepts of sovereignty and self-determination. Greenland is not US territory. The people of Greenland do not want to be part of the US. Denmark, who are the rulers of Greenland, have no desire to sell or otherwise surrender control of the territory to the US. Therefore, the desire of the US President for the territory is not relevant - if its security is vital to US interests, then we can leverage our existing, very friendly and cooperative, relationship with the Danish government and NATO in general in order to make sure it is properly secured. We do not need to own the territory for that to happen.
Yes. There was zero justification for anything that Trump has said. None whatsoever. It was a pathetic attempt to redirect attention from what the man has shown himself to be.
well just think of greenlanders are pre-imigrants to the US when trump takes over and it makes sense, he has to go there so he can send ICE to remove all the non americans.
Acquiring Greenland isn’t required to accomplish any of that. We had military cooperation prior to this fool’s errand.
When the last time we did it was over 150 years ago (Alaska in 1867; I'm not counting the Virgin Islands as a "large amount of land," and the Philippines were granted independence), it kinda is something new. The world has changed significantly since then.
1. There are currently no restrictions on the operation of US warships around Greenland, and we're free to open as many bases on the territory as we want, and base as many troops as we want there. During the Cold War, US soldiers made up something like 20-30% of Greenland's population at their maximum of ~15k. In other words, us not having ownership of Greenland does not prevent us from controlling the shipping lanes around it.
What options are you talking about for heaven's sake? Control access all you want. Greenland (and Denmark) will be grateful for it. And if you need more and/or larger bases in Greenland then just ask nicely. They'll literally give them to you! They'll welcome the influx of money. You'll be welcomed with open arms.
That this is the only response you're able to muster to my post is telling.
