    When Steven Miller said that Greenlands population was “only” 30k and then didn’t say anything for a few seconds afterwards gave me a chill. Things are going to get out of hand globally soon.

    In don’t think any political analyst ever thought Greenland would be in question.

    These are truly shocking times no matter how anyone saw it coming.

      Greenland has been a political fixation of many US presidents for decades…

        Not really a fixation that’s too strong of a word.

        Besides Denmark let’s US do whatever they want there , always have.

        In the context of Arctic defense, the GIUK gap and Thule airbase, sure. Those were considered strategically important things during the Cold War, and rightly so.

        But “it looks big on the map and it’s closer to me than to you and I want it and I have more guns so give it to me now” is just Trump.

      Venezuela is Sudetenland. Greenland is Danzig and the Polish corridor. Canada is the Elzas and France.

    A democracy reflects it’s voters opinions. I’m not shocked that the Trump government would do this, but had Biden or Obama done the same, well I wouldn’t believe it.

      I don’t consider the US a democracy or the state reflective of the people’s will. It often acts far outside of the people’s will.

      The US is only a democracy for the business owning elite and its policy reflects that. I agree that someone like Obama wouldn’t do this but that’s exactly why Trump is in power now. The monopoly capitalists need someone like him to maintain their position of power, local and geopolitical.

      Only 1/3 of Americans voted for Trump and of that 1/3 the vast majority deeply misunderstand his purpose and goals within the state.

        What’s this from? And what is the definition of an interest group? Does that overlap with economic elites? In common parlance I would think it does.
