I think he means the parts where he can drill for oil
Wouldn't put it past him do combine the two. "De decided that this is a great place for a base, which happens to be just above ..."
Don't give him anything.
He made this deal with the NATO secretary general Mark Rutte, who has literally no authority to give anything away on behalf of Denmark or Greenland.
This might be like when Canada “gave” him the existing trade deal they had in place.
Because he doesn’t actually know the situation on the ground anything that sounds like a concession is a win to him.
I'd put good money that he doesn't understand the metric system. Just give him the measurements in cm so it's a big number and he'll be the proud owner of approximately half a park bench.
And if that's not enough for him, millimeters! Also it's probably in area, not length, so the numbers increase exponentially
Hopefully this is the time that appeasement really works.
::spoilers::
It won't
So when Trump feels like he needs another distraction from the Epstein files or just decides to throw a narcissistic hissy fit and starts attacking NATO again will they just keep giving him more of Greenland?
1 m^2 at a time. And if sane government ever comes back to the US, the whole thing can be undone on day one.
That's one thing I'd love to see - every single thing that Donvict cares most about - that he would live to see a blue wave immediately reverse, with a lot of fanfare, on DAY ONE.
Don't we already have the ability to put military bases on it? I don't even understand the attempts at sanewashing this shit and making it about somehow being strategic for "us".
This just seems to be about dimbulb donnie and his ego wanting a "legacy" via adding more territory. He's probably such a moron that he doesn't realize the Mercator projection skews things as well...
It is over mineral rights) oil and other commodities. If it was honestly about safety or security it would be a moot point because of nato and other treaties that allow what ever defense systems and bases are needed. It is the same thing in Venezuela. If he does anything it is about money, or getting people to stop paying attention to something else. When the news cycle is 24hr it is hard to stay on topic if there is always a new crazy thing going on.
A dumpster in Nuuk is now sovereign territory of the United States of Donald.
My buddy says that other countries like China and the EU countries are threatening to cash out those u.s bonds and other Treasury securities they have.
And that's why trump keeps talking about the interest rates. He ain't talking about peoples credit card interest rates. Hes talking about those Treasury securities rates.
And anyway. If the EU or china decides to cash those out. It will probably bankrupt the u.s.
I'm not very knowledgeable about this topic. I'm just passing on what my buddy told me. It sounded plausible.
