Its IvoryBill. Hes desperately seeking attention

After Trumps 1st term he became a Bernie Bro. Which tells you hes lying about supporting Trump. You simply dont go from socialism to American populism in a single election cycle


You're such a liar. I wasted a long comment responding to you. I have supported Trump in all three general elections.

I thought the Uniparty stranglehold had to be destroyed. I'm a libertarian ideologically, but Bernie seemed the best chance to blow things up. When he supported Hillary Clinton, he was dead to me. Of course, that was BEFORE Trump's first term.

This thread was just to point out that the Greenland deal had to be ratified by the Danish Parliament. Why is that Anti-Trump?

I think it must benefit them. People were losing their minds about how we "own Greenland" now. I was just pointing out if it is a lopsided deal in favor of us, the Danish Parliament won't ratify it.

I'm glad he made the thread, I didn't read all of the other thread.

Do you suck your thumb and cry yourself to sleep every night because of Trump's success?

The deal has to be ratified by the Danish Parliament (simple majority vote). After all the insults, Danish politicians aren't inclined to approve anything that benefits the US too much.

Then we need to show Denmark special love going forward. Maybe we can get them to veto Canada's ascension into the EU.

The New York Times looked at a Greenland lockup and called it a shortfall because Trump didn’t get “total control.” Same story. Same reporters. Then they typed out a fat stack of American power and pretended the adjective saved them.

Read the shite they published.

Bigger U.S. military presence.
Harder basing.
Overflight.
Adversarial countries blocked from bases and from sensitive investment.
The arrangement built to survive Greenlandic independence.
Denmark keeps the flag.

Reuters ran the same core terms. Permanent. Unconditional. Danish sovereignty still on the paper. The Times still sold it as the President missing.

That gap is the whole racket.

Childers smashed it into one line: the bases, the ban, the veto, and forever. The exact reach of any unilateral U.S. investment veto was sloppy in the first public dump. Fine. The package still does the job that started this fight. Washington grabbed the strategic meat of the Greenland push and left the deed on Copenhagen’s desk.

“Did he get Greenland?” is a stupid question designed to hide the map. The United States gets a freer military hand in the Arctic. Tighter insulation against Russian and Chinese penetration. Continuity if Nuuk ever walks. Reuters says the deal is meant to last with no off-switch while Denmark keeps sovereignty.

The headline screams what he failed to annex. The body catalogs what he took. The strongest evidence against their “failure” sermon is sitting in their own goddamn copy, grinning at them.

Quote Facebook all you want. Here's what the official release from the Danish Prime Minister says:

"The three governments are expected to sign the agreement next week in connection with the UN General Assembly. Once the agreement is signed, it will have to go through the necessary parliamentary procedures to enter into force."

Kingdom of Denmark - Press Release

1. The deal hasn't been signed. Trump makes a practice of throwing in last-minute conditions. (See Saudi Nuclear Deal)

2. The Danish Parliament will have to ratify whatever deal is reached. The"procedures" vary according to what's actually in the deal...which apparently hasn't even been disclosed to the Parliament yet.

It sounds like a great deal. I hope it gets ratified by the Danish Parliament.

What are you talking about? I have continually complimented President Trump for tackling problems that no other president would have.

That's the main reason I think he's the best president of my lifetime. As part of his salesman personality, he frequently exaggerates. I thought everyone knew that.

The deal sounds great. Unless and until the Danish Parliament approves it, it's not binding.

Your past post history doesnt support that

You were a Bernie Bros until he sold out to Hildebeast. Which means you would have openly welcomed socialism, had he won

This thread is another example of you being disingenuous. The deal is done. It is to be signed Mon or Tues at the UN.
quote:

The deal is set to be signed at the UN

After Trump's announcement, the office of Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said the deal will be signed next week at the United Nations General Assembly. "Next week could be a good week … for Greenland, Denmark, and the United States alike," Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen wrote on Instagram on Saturday morning.

Greenland's government leader Jens-Frederik Nielsen said the deal would benefit "not only our collective security, but also the continued development here in the country."

"A period of uncertainty will hopefully be replaced by a binding agreement that strengthens security in the Arctic and the North Atlantic — and thus also our shared security within NATO and Europe," he added.

The Canada-US deal was also going to be signed. It wasn't.

More important, whatever gets signed in NY won't take effect unless the Danish Parliament ratifies it. Why is this a hard concept?

The deal is not done. It probably will get done. If it's what has been described, apparently the Danish Parliament will ratify it (why wouldn't they?)...but the members who I heard hadn't even seen the alleged agreement.

Deal to be signed at UN General Assembly in New York on Tuesday

The agreement, to be signed ?at the UN General Assembly in New York at 10:30 a.m. ET (1430 GMT) on Tuesday, has not been made public. President Donald Trump says it grants the US "permanent control". Denmark and Greenland have said the deal will benefit the Arctic island and respect its sovereignty.

Don't know if Canada was in bad faith, but I agree that even with the passage of time, Denmark sounds excited about whatever the deal is.

I haven't heard much opposition to it from Denmark. It looks like it will go through.
