Would have been nice to see if "Just Asking" worked ;-)...

Men know to take Trump's bluster with a grain of salt; women panic, rage and emote. E.g. the Open

A great summation of Trump:
From the OpEd:
I have never trafficked in the conspiracy theories about Donald Trump and Russia. I never thought that he was a Russian asset or that Vladimir Putin had some financial leverage on him or sex tapes to blackmail him with. I have always believed it was much worse: that Trump, in his heart and soul, simply does not share the values of every other American president since World War II when it comes to what America’s role in the world should be and must be.
I have always believed that Trump has an utterly warped value set that is not grounded in any of our founding documents, but simply favors any leader who is strong, no matter what he does with that strength; any leader who is rich and can thus enrich Trump, no matter what the leader does with that money or how he got it; and any leader who will flatter him, no matter how obviously phony that flattery is.
As long as Putin the dictator checked all those boxes more than the democratic leader of Ukraine, Trump treated him as a friend — American interests and values be damned. Putin never even had to break a sweat to make Trump his chump.
For all those reasons Trump is the most un-American president in our history. It was obvious from the day Trump trashed Senator John McCain, an authentic American war hero and patriot, for having been shot down in combat and taken prisoner. What kind of American would denounce McCain, who was held captive for over five years in a North Vietnamese prison camp after spurning early release, knowing it would be used as propaganda? No American that I know.

Another NYT link proves you can’t think for yourself.

It is definitely about Greenland, and Canada, and Venezuelan oil. Your post is bullshit.

That's all bullshit
If we wanted the "rare earth minerals" - and their presence in Greenland is more theoretical than proven, since they would be under ice - we could just buy them. And the Danes would be happy to sell.
Articles like that are by people guessing who want you to believe they know things. I run into them all the time. A good way to recognize them is if they talk about those idiotic betting markets as if they have any meaning.
Josh Wolfe is a billionaire venture capitalist. But HE is full of crap?

He'd rather buy the cow for for the long term rather than the milk over and over.

No one in their right mind thinks that we are going to invade.
It’s always been about defense, the rare earths are secondary.
He said today he has no intention of invading Greenland or using violence. The hand wringing
on the left at ever little fucking thing.
Ducky Daddles Does!

There is a lot in the package. It's Trump negotiation-which does have the Danes/EU finally putting
some
effort into the place if you hadn't noticed....another way that Trump moves the moochers.
It is cheaper to buy it. The cost of doing it the other way is enormous.
And not just in dollars.
That's IF these stocks of rare earths exist.
It's worth "leasing" it and hopefully there is real negotiation happening behind the bluster.
The Danes aren't goping to use it and can't defend it... but they'd be nuts not to profit from it.
It is not worth "leasing" it, if doing so damages our relationship with our most important allies

Explain why they should give a damn about Greenland
Even Denmark! They get nothing out of the island now and have slimiest zero cultural ties
You think rare earth minerals is that giant swath of land's only value?!!! Not sure why I bother.
You'd definitely have been against Seward's Folly if it was Trump proposing it.
Please keep in mind that you have no idea what you are talking about.

Ok, Mr JCPOA.

Why not? Can you please be a little more specific.?

I did read today that Seward also tried to by Greenland and Iceland.
Did not know that.
Also known as "Seward's Garage Fridge" and "Seward's Kegerator"...respectively.

It is not for them. They will simply not read it and dispute it without thought.

I think the NFL should consider having a game in Greenland. Maybe a bowl game.
The Trump Bowl has the makings of one big beautiful bowl game.
