We already have a agreement with Denmark that essentially lets us do whatever we want with Greenland. We get the milk for free - why buy the cow?
Obviously there is the hubris of the current president, but who even fed this to him as an idea? The only thing I can think of are geopolitical weirdos who fantasize about future wars with Europe. An outcome that they are willing us to closer every passing day.

Like many dummies in a position of authority, he gets weirdly hung up on arbitrary things - especially when it goes over well with his followers and rankles his foes.
This likely started with a discussion of mineral resources, the golden dome, and/or maritime navigation (see also Panama).

Because the Trump admin thinks that Europe is dependant on and exploiting America and is in the process of destroying itself with Muslim migration and lefty policies. Vance in particular is big on this.
Presumably Trump wants to lock down fortress-America before that happens.
<< Danish troops told to 'shoot first, ask questions later' if US invades Greenland. The European nation's rules of engagement requires soldiers to “immediately” counter-attack invading forces without awaiting orders. >>

The EU needs to form a central standing army, form alliances with Canada and India, and stand up to the bully.

India is probably more aligned with China/Russia.

Denmark should discuss Puerto Rico ownership with the US.

BBC should start creating which Trump admin person is saying things, since it seems like they're mostly free lancing.
This one is Marco Rubio.

I have suddenly come down with psychic powers. I predict it will go something like this.
"Can we have it?"
"No."
"Dang."

I'm so tired of this Idiocracy timeline. This doesn't even read like a real headline. Sometimes I think it's unfortunate that radical, violent, far left extremists apparently stopped existing, or are in hiding. Seems like the only remaining option. Seriously, I don't condone violence or anything, it's just this feeling I'm left with of like "someone please do SOMETHING". The real threat to the administration should be we the people, not Venezuela, or Denmark, or immigrants, etc. But nobody wants to be ICEd, suicided, or disappeared. Very scary precedent.. Russia vibes

If this administration hadn’t spent the past year thumping their chest and publicly fantasizing about conquering Greenland, they may have actually been able to acquire it in some sort of deal, but certainly not now.

The cow can make another cow and also has meat.
