    - Yes, I mistyped. Board idiots celebrate. [NT] - Chris94 - 1:21pm 1/6/26
      - Yes, it’s a good time to be a democrat. [NT] - Hensou - 5:47pm 1/6/26
  - Even if anyone did give a compelling reason, it would be dismissed outright because it's Trump. [NT] - ELP - 12:57pm 1/6/26
    - The point is that NO ONE has been able to give a compelling reason. - Chris94 - 1:06pm 1/6/26
      - National security. DJT's words, not mine. He said Russia & China ships are all round the area. [NT] - ELP - 1:47pm 1/6/26
        He's lying. - Chris94 - 2:11pm 1/6/26
        See. That's is your predictable response to a compelling reason. Told you so. - ELP - 3:08pm 1/6/26
        "National Security" is a vague generality, not a compelling reason for anything. - Chris94 - 3:29pm 1/6/26
        What's pointless is trying to give you an explanation because no explanation will be good enough. - ELP - 6:05pm 1/6/26
        How about just one explanation? [NT] - Chris94 - 6:20pm 1/6/26
        WH gave an explanation but you just don't like it because they said it. [NT] - ELP - 9:58pm 1/6/26
      - You're right, it doesn't make any sense other than imperial acquisition of resources. - iairishcheeks - 1:23pm 1/6/26
        I bet, like Scotland, if the Greenlanders wanted independence, they could get it with a referendum - Chris94 - 1:28pm 1/6/26
        It would make a lot more sense to associate with Canada where most of the other Inuits live. [NT] - iairishcheeks - 1:37pm 1/6/26
        Sure, whatever. No one in the USA makes that call. [NT] - Chris94 - 1:42pm 1/6/26
        Colonizer! [NT] - iairishcheeks - 2:22pm 1/6/26
  - Why does Denmark need it? - iairishcheeks - 11:08am 1/6/26
    - Huh? [NT] - jimbasil - 11:15am 1/6/26
      - Is Greenland a topic you're willing to discuss without a chaperone? [NT] - iairishcheeks - 1:07pm 1/6/26
    - That's not the question [NT] - Chris94 - 11:10am 1/6/26
      - It makes no sense as a territory of Denmark, especially considering the civil rights abuses. [NT] - iairishcheeks - 11:37am 1/6/26
        Again, not the relevant point. It's not like Trump is going to hand it to the natives. - Chris94 - 11:39am 1/6/26
        I am in favor of an independent or self-determinate Greenland - iairishcheeks - 11:55am 1/6/26
  - Idiotic Trumper rationale incoming.. [NT] - Domer From Hell - 11:03am 1/6/26
