Like Trump said at Davos, Europe is still buying Russian Oil and gas. They are not serious and cannot be depended upon to defend anything that we actually need.

Maybe this was brought up, but the conceit of Greenland I keep hearing is to stave off China and Russia.

Now Europe and other NATO nations are thinking China might be a more stable partner, and we come out ahead?

Cuba and Greenland will soon be part of the United States of America. If an American does not like it, by all means, leave.

Is there any other aggressive expansionist state that you would compare us to? Like Russia in Ukraine? 20th Century Germany or USSR? How would you describe your version of America under Trump?

Does it upset you that we are dominating?

Why are all you liberal men so weak?

Neither China nor Russia would ever invade Greenland because it is in NATO. That is what a strong NATO does for America. It keeps the other expansionist states from doing shite like this.

Where have we expanded? If we do expand, does it benefit the USA? I do know that I love the respect POTUS Trump has regarding the MONROE Doctrine. I find it titillating!!

What do you have against the MONROE Doctrine?

We'd need to get the average Cuba household income up FAST.

No we wouldn't. Puerto Ricans just move to NYC. Cubans will just move to Miami.

Puerto Rico is an example of trying to export "America" to a Central American country. It's still shitty. You can't overcome the corruption and grift of Central America/Caribbean. Look at before and after pictures from hurricane Maria, in re: to power lines. You can't tell which is which, it looks like Bangalore. The politicians limit aid to only those who voted for them, etc.

I remember a story or two my grandfather would tell me about port calls on his sub in Havana. It was Miami back in the day.

On the other hand, you are making perfect sense.

Do you have any clue what that actually is?

I have no problem with the Monroe Doctrine, which blocked European countries from establishing new colonies in the Americas. If any European country attempts to establish a new colony in Central or South America, we should object.

IDGAF what Europe and other NATO nations think. The USA needs to get out of NATO and the UN as quickly as possible while making sure trade tariffs are in place where needed.

If they need our help they can pay the USA.
