We have 900 bases around the world for a reason. I am surprised Trump is are Greenland to join, usually CIA does their magic.

u/Ordinary_Prune6135 5d ago
We already have a base in Greenland.

u/Muted-Tradition-1234 5d ago
And in fact the US had up to 12 military bases in Greenland, which Denmark, a founding member of NATO readily consented to (as well as consenting to every US military request - including the US's call on art 5 of NATO to invade Afghanistan, where Denmark lost the highest no. of soldiers per Capita of anyone outside the US)- the US voluntarily downsized to 1 base after the cold war.
If there really was an threat, external to NATO, there is no reason to expect Denmark not to again consent to US military build up.
Of course if the threat is however coming from within NATO...
10
u/PixelsGoBoom 5d ago
Because the US is still part of NATO.
Trump wants out of NATO.Putin probably told him he can have Greenland as a strategical advantage after Russia manages to collapse NATO and will continue to annex European countries. The USA leaving NATO would be a really big first step for "Russian glory days" and Trump is already on board.

We do but there may be another reason why the pentagon wants complete possession of it. This is a pre trump subject.

u/EmotionalJoystick 5d ago
No, it fucking isn’t. And to even suggest the USA has actually openly considered annexing sovereign land this way before this team of crooks and grifters came in is insane and disingenuous. It is a HUGE shift in foreign policy ( if you can even call this sort of naked aggression that) to be talking like this.
1
u/Ok_Yam5543 4d ago
If it were truly about the national security of the U.S., they could simply establish more bases in Greenland, as was the case during the Cold War.
What it's likely really about are the country's mineral resources, which will become accessible in the future due to global warming.1

The CIA has done a lot of crazy and clandestine stuff - straight up installing dictators and crushing socialist movements in South America and Africa (read about the Dulles brothers), but they haven’t, to my recollection ever annexed land belonging to a sovereign nation and a fucking member of NATO. So what are you even talking about man.

The closest they get is wishing he would cut it out because it keeps giving the left ammunition against him.
In other words, a lot of them don't even disagree with that shit on a moral level. They just think it's bad strategy. They don't care that he's acting like a dictator; they care that it makes the left's accusations of him being a dictator appear correct.

Trump is such a fool. Obsessed with chaos. He could have cut the government responsibly and under the radar. But no, his way had to be clusterfuck spectacle with Elon musk assuming control of the gov and firing random people who have nothing to do with the swamp.
He could have gone back to Trump 1.0 tariffs which after an initial shock period were largely forgotten because he didn’t create such a spectacle around them. Now everything has got to be a show with this constant truth social posting and shit like “liberation day” so stupid.
All this shit with Greenland and Canada…wtf are we doing. It’s all just chaos porn.
Now there taking about mt Rushmore and a 3rd term…. I feel like we’re living in the twilight zone with all this shit

u/genderalized 4d ago
That's the point, though. He's not motivated by money or power, he's motivated by attention, and taking money and power is a way to get attention. He's like a toddler who smears shit on his face at a dinner party and is delighted because everyone's paying attention to him.
He says stuff that gets people riled up as a tactic to get them to say his name, because he'd rather have people say "trump is an idiot" than not say trump. He has a genius for listening to conversation and picking out the random stuff that gets people most riled up and then saying that over and over again.
He doesn't care about Canada, he heard someone say "we should just take over Canada" as a sarcastic remark and then watched people get het up about it and thought, hey, good one, if I say that people will say my name a lot.
He can make the left riled up by outraging them and he can make the right riled up by outraging the left, so that's what he does. He doesn't believe in anything except the sound of his own name.

u/Glad-Marionberry-634 1d ago
I'm not some free trade absolutist, I think it's important to have domestic manufacturing and if some protectionist policies are in place to boost it then so be it. For that reason I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. However blanket tariffs are more likely to hurt domestic manufacturing than help it. Take aluminum for example, if you want to manufacturer cars, appliances, and power tools you're going to need aluminum. The US has to import aluminum because there is only so much here naturally, that's just reality. So if you make aluminum more expensive through stupid blanket tariffs, those products are going to be more expensive to make, and if they become prohibitively more expensive then the company will just move the manufacturing elsewhere. Likely these blanket tariffs will get blocked but if not I don't see American manufacturing growing.

deported so many illegals
In February this year, the Trump administration deported about 11,000 illegal immigrants.
In February of 2024, the Biden administration deported about 12,000 illegal immigrants.
There's more to the story and lots of reasons why, but I think it's really important to just look at that raw number. Trump is losing the game here by simple comparison and has to do a LOT more work to even get that loss.

At some point we have got to stop shitting on each other and actually find a way to productively communicate. Trumpism will end and it will end at the hands of Trump himself.
