Trump says US needs to own Greenland to deter Russia, China

No, they don't. They did not even have to reach an agreement with Denmark about meeting their needs in that respect, because one already exists and is ratified by both parties.
Yeah but that doesn't have Trump's name associated with it. So it doesn't matter/exist.
Fuck, fine! We'll just rename the 1951 Defense of Greenland Agreement to, I don't know, the Tremendous Russia Ultimate Mitigation Pact or something.
Keeping Ukraine independent and whole will deter Russia, not copying their playbook.
Finnish local news article says that Trump claims there's military vessels from China and Russia plus Russian submarines around Greenland right now. As in that they're actively looking to invade Greenland in any moment. I wonder if he could even find Greenland on a map...
His supporters claim he's not a fascist because he hasn't done "X". He hasn't done "X" yet because people stop him. If has done "X" then it's fine, the others would've done it too and worse.
Why doesn’t he just admit that he only wants it for the resources, it’s kinda clear at this point that that’s ever the only reason for the US to want something.
He wants it because he was told to want it. The people that actually want it are looking to destroy NATO, and divide up Europe. Greenland allows them to control trade to Europe and launch attacks anywhere on the continent. Denmark already knows this, as does all of Europe, and they're going to respond knowing what happens if they don't.
Does anyone still believe this cunt?
