re: Trump: Anything less than Greenland in the hands of America is unacceptable

He is basically signaling to Russia and China that the Arctic matters to the U.S. This is going to pressure Denmark (and most of northern Europe) to accept more U.S. military access and investment.

If it's up to the people of Greenland, Denmark needs to get the f*** out

Now do Europe threatening our bases.
You lefty retards can’t have it both ways.

The way that Trump and this administration treats Americans is the worst advertisement for any other nation wanting to become part of America. The last thing that Greenlanders want is to be harassed and shot on the street my armed, masked federal agents, be tariff taxed to death, and be unable to afford basic medical care. Who would want to join the USA under Trumps America?
It also opens them up to a Democrat dropping 20k Haitians there.
You think they want that?

We can already develop the missile defense system in Greenland. Nothing prevents us from putting military installations there. We’ve done nothing for 50 years but close the ones we had there, outside of Thule/Pittufik.

But they already have. The Danes have already told us—decades ago—to build whatever we want there for defense.
If we truly cared about the Arctic, we’d have more than 2 icebreakers.

And that's what we're going to do. If Trump just came out and said we're going to build on to our installation there, they would have fought it.
Now, after having said all the crazy shite, they'll be more likely say, sure build as long as you're not invading, we don't care.
Jesus, a lot of people here are just DUMB.

I read somewhere the US is building more Ice breakers in partnership with Finland.

It’s unfortunate that most people here will ignore this.

The Coast Guard is allegedly building three but who knows if or when we’ll ever see them. I think Bollinger has the contract.
Perhaps we’re buying some as a stop gap from Finnish builders though. We should. We let Russia and now China dominate us in ice capable shipbuilding for a long time.

This sounds oddly familiar.
The survival of the nation now depends upon decisive action beyond our borders
The western regions of France are essential to our security and to the destiny of our people
If we do not act others will and that will not be permitted
Through years of disciplined leadership and sacrifice our military strength has been forged into a power without equal
Without it the alliances of this continent would be hollow and without meaning
They know this and so do we
The stability of Europe therefore demands that this territory be placed under our protection
Anything less would be a failure of duty to our people and to history
We will proceed
The future requires it

Yeah it was just in the news. Building them in Houma.
quote:
Bollinger Shipyards has finalized a $2.1 billion contract with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security — first announced last fall — to produce four new Arctic Security Cutters for the U.S. Coast Guard.
The vessels, which will be built at Bollinger's Houma shipyard, will be capable of breaking through 4 feet of ice, traveling more than halfway around the globe and remaining at sea for two months at a time.
quote:LINK
Bollinger’s first cutter is expected to take just over two years from its first welds to its final tests. Once assembly of the first vessel is underway, Bollinger will be able to have multiple boats under construction at the same time at the same shipyard, company spokesperson TJ Tatum said.
The first vessel is scheduled to roll off the production line in 2028. But it will spend the next year in the water — first at the dock, where subcontractors will bring the vessels up to U.S. government specifications by adding specialized communication equipment, any weaponry and other technology.

Enough of this bs already. Trump 's only trying to torpedo NATO. Congress will never approve the funding anyway. It's dead on arrival.
Posted on 1/14/26 at 8:27 am to hawgfaninc
Gee, it's not like Denmark is an ally or something.
Maybe, just maybe Trump should just ask for access. It's not like the Danes have ever not granted US requests. We used to have thousands of service members stationed in Greenland.

We’ve been having access to Greenland for defense. We’re not doing it for security, claiming we need to get it before Russia and China is just a way to drum up support because Americans are overwhelmingly against it. Close to 80% when he originally floated the idea. Taking Greenland by force is not what anyone voted for whether they know it or not. It’s lawless

If the USA leaves NATO and Greenland replaces the USA in NATO, will it strengthen NATO?
