what is trump's obsession over greenland? do they have like great golf courses or some shyt?

Musings from various sources include he and his handlers acknowledge climate change is real, despite what they tell their mindless deplorables. With this fact known, Greenland is strategic from a resource standpoint. Amongst other things. Allegedly

Do you have links to those sources? Sounds interesting.

I didn’t get it from here. Random pods and stuff. But this sums it up.

What might be even more appealing to Trump, however, is Greenland’s rich deposits of natural resources, said Klaus Dodds, professor of geopolitics at Royal Holloway, University of London….

​

Melting ice and rapidly rising Arctic temperatures are giving Greenland a front-row seat to the climate crisis, but some also see economic opportunities as climate change reshapes the country.


The loss of ice has opened up shipping routes, increasing the amount of time they can be navigated during the Northern Hemisphere summer. Arctic shipping rose 37% over the decade to 2024, according to the Arctic Council, in part due to melting ice.

“Trump, I think, instinctively gets the idea that the Arctic is melting,” and the perceived opportunities, Dodds said. Although he cautioned, in reality, conditions along these routes are still often treacherous, and melting ice may make waters even more dangerous to navigate.


There is also a suggestion that melting ice may make natural resources easier to access, but the climate crisis has not yet proved much of a “game-changer” for this, said Phillip Steinberg, a geography professor at the University of Durham.

It’s not that climate change is making Greenland’s resources more accessible, he told CNN, but rather “more necessary.”

Why Trump Wants Greenland—And Why He Probably Won't Get It

He's not the first to set his sights on the island.

@Dave24 i updated the post. The cnn article summarizes it pretty succinctly without going too in depth on the history


Basically we all know Trump is too dumb to recognize this so someone obviously is pulling his strings just like with everything else

Hope he croaks

Not the Warlord of Delaware making strategic decisions despite getting dragged for genocide.

Hang on breh, you haven’t been in the Gaza thread since I pointed to you the Biden admin—specifically Blinken—lied to Congress about Gaza’s getting aide.

This DNCel snark for death and destruction because their preferred candidate isn’t doing the death and destruction is distasteful and disgraceful.

I haven't been going back and forth with any of you in the Gaza thread, there is no point. I've casually watched it.

My "snark" has little to do with a candidate and more to do with the strange amount of contempt so many of you have for the US in general.

Don’t distill it down to that. You ran in showing we were going to give more aide to Gaza, specifically Blinken saying it as if the Biden administration wanted to earnestly give them aide and were being moral. When I told you Blinken lied to Congress about aide reaching Gaza to skirt the Leahy Law, you asked me to prove it. I then showed you the USAID staff stories saying Blinken was lying and you never posted again. This wasn’t a back and forth, but facts which is why you never returned to the thread.

I say that to say brehs need to stop using this, “bUtTeRy TrUmPs” nonsense and go back to not caring, which is where you were.


Here is where it starts for those who at least want to see Blinken lying to Congress:

Because I want the US to do better, while it seems you and others think the ship is operating fine and don’t want better.

If this was actually true you would be directing some iota of your energy at the people directly, aggressively and actively harming the people you say you care about. It hasn’t even been a week and they’ve been zeroed in to hurt countless people and you can’t make one post without mentioning “the dems”.

You’re not a good liar, but you are an embarrassment.

1. He wanted it in his first administration
2. Has an obsession with William McKinley who was expansionist.
3. When he was president elect apparently he kept talking about leaving a “legacy” and he thinks getting new territory is a way to do that.

There’s zero difference between @mastermind and @Bunchy Carter. Both clowns are #Bothsiders and can only blame democrats no matter how evil the Republicans act

Anybody wanna bet that he kills the African American Museum and the MLK memorial?

 

[King Kreole]

@King Kreole ready to concede gracefully that Trump is worse than Bush?

what has happened recently that would change this assessment? What has Trump done in the past week that is worse that starting the 20 year long Global War on Terror?
