There is little to no strategic benefit having Greenland controlled by us vs. a NATO ally. We already have an AF base there.

This stunt does provide cover for Russia's and China's aspirations. Georgia and Taiwan are now in play much sooner than if he had kept his mouth shut. Soft power isn't the opposite of hard power. Soft power is the opposite of strategic debacle...

Greenland is actually very strategic, despite Thule and Alaska. It gives us more access to the Arctic, which will become essential as we further destroy our planet in the decades ahead.

That being said, it's complete bullshit. Even assuming we get it. It's just a distraction from the fact he has not a fucking clue how to better the economy, which is already good. Just fuel for the Callatoroys and ramsousers of the world to think he's actually doing someting.

Slightly amusing sidenote, I have always thought the US and Canada should be joined. But that was mostly just a fantasy of mine that had no basis in fact. Very much doubt it happens, and it should not happen under any circumstance Trump is likely to establish.

Ultimately, Canada (especially) and Greenland will be ours. But that will be because things have gotten so bad, nothing matters anymore.
 
One of the points of NAFTA was to better integrate the US with Mexico and Canada. Obviously the MAGAs don't want tighter integration with the brown people, but Trump has whined a lot about how Canada benefits at their expense. So it's a little bit ironic and funny how they now want to get closer with the Canadians.

I am a little pissed Obama set next to him and had a conversation with him in the first place.

Nah. Who had the BDE in the dynamic? It wasn’t the slumping, leaning in, whispering-in-the-ear guy with a failing combover. I think Obama knows shit is fucked, but he serves no one well by antagonizing. Obama, like millions of others, knows ttump is had by flattery and attention.

FWIW, that's not what I said. Of course Greenland is strategic.

I said that there is little strategic benefit in having Greenland in official US hands rather than in the hands of a staunch NATO ally. I doubt it's a net positive when a transfer would (a) weaken the alliance (e.g. if we invade a NATO ally, do we declare war on ourselves?) and (b) provide succor for any bad actor in the world who wants to redraw national boundaries.
