Why Greenland

[Ninurta]

Denmark does give the peace prize , can anybody name the 8 wars Trump has stopper ?

Sorry guys but this aint normal.

Absolutely. This ain't normal - that's a bold statement of bald facts that cannot be disputed. I doubt we will know what "normal" is until the world resettles down into it's new configuration. Most likely, that new configuration is going to involve Canada and most likely the UK realigning with the CCP, based upon the apparent underlying philosophies of their current governments. Both governments have a lot more in common with the CCP these days (much to the detriment of their respective populations) than they do the US, so a realignment at this juncture does make sense.

Nor can I for one name these nebulous "8 wars" Trump is alleged to have prevented or stopped. To be honest, I've never been induced enough to care what they were, so I've never even tried to look into it, nor am I going to be sidetracked into doing so.

Personally, I'm opposed to the US acquisition of Greenland on pragmatic grounds rather than the emotional ones that seem to be dragging Denmark around by the gonads. So far, no one has articulated any logical justification for a US takeover of that ice-ball that could possibly justify the expenditures that Trump and company are contemplating putting into it. I'm hearing several pseudo-justifications like "north Atlantic security" which is just nuts - neither Greenland nor Denmark have ever refused the US a base in Greenland for North Atlantic security purposes - and I'm hearing "rare Earth metals" which is also nuts. There is not enough ice free ground to mine in Greenland to make the enterprise practical. So far, all that has occurred there despite their best efforts is a couple of small-scale mines in the scanty ice free coastal corridors of Greenland. Nothing to write home about, and one may notice that before this debacle no one DID write home about it.

In other words, no one, but NO ONE, has been able to demonstrate any benefit to the US in the acquisition of Greenland that could possibly justify the inordinate expenditures that such and acquisition would entail. They have not been able to demonstrate the BENEFIT to the US that would contribute to the "Make America Great Again" philosophy..

So, I remain convinced this is much ado about nothing, a tempest in a teapot, and a distraction designed to hold the world's attention on Greenland while Trump accomplishes some nefarious design elsewhere. It will probably remain so until whatever that other design is comes to fruition... when people will say "where did THAT come from? How did THAT happen?", not realizing that it was all going on behind the scenes while their attention was deftly captured and frozen in a Greenland glacier.

I'm not very happy with Mr. Trump at the moment, especially considering the way he appears to have thrown the Iranian population under the bus, but am forced to admit this distraction does appear to be a master stroke to cover whatever it is that he's really up to.

P.S. - Where is the Presidential Seal on that letter to the Danish PM? Doesn't actual White House letterhead have the Presidential Seal in it's header?
