sure that a military base or two would be available for a long term lease as an alternative to owning that continent sized island.


We already have a military base there, Thule.

The Canada issue is very simple.

Canada will not survive fair trade with the US.

Trump has said ‘if it was a state, the subsidies could be tolerated’.

But, the Greenland, Canada, and Panama Canal nonsense seems to play into that.


If you think all the attention suddenly paid to Chinese influence over the Panama Canal...after years of Biden's lack of attention...is "nonsense", then you're a fricking moron.

Which also means you haven't been paying attention to Greenland. There is a lot of disenchantment by Greenlanders toward Denmark, with many of them wanting to sever ties. Trump is absolutely right to take advantage of that schism and try to develop a closer relationship. No, we aren't going to take Greenland by force. But a Greenland completely independent from Denmark and with closer ties to the US is a definite possibility, and one that we should absolutely encourage.

We've already got 2 bases in Greenland, an AFB, and a SIGINT Station.


Yeah, and we've had a naval base in Cuba for over 120 years. How well did that keep the communists from wreaking havoc in Latin America?

We have asked the Netherlands repeatedly over several administrations to expand our bases there and they have denied us.


I wonder why.

And so is the Canada 51st state idiocy.

Hello, Trumpf, please concentrate on the American economy.

America thanks you
