I fear we will get used to such madness as we drift toward chaos and war.
Very cool and legal. The law and order president. Rules based order and wait wasnt the whole Ukraine thing about sovereignty or something? Ah nevermind
I still don’t understand what the possible motivation for this is. Most of the other actions are clearly tied to Russian interests or general interference and destruction of US power.
Going after Greenland doesn’t really assist either of those goals. The only thing I can think is trying to get the US into its own Ukraine situation, which I guess makes sense on some level to someone, somewhere.
I assumed it was over their natural resources? Greenland has a ton of rare Earth minerals that are going to be key for manufacturing electronics. Basically, he just wants to destroy Greenland for their resources.
I think it’s a trade route between the US and Rusia.
Probably has oil and other resources too when you consider the ice is melting like an uncle guss BBQ.
Supposing Trump actions are trying to empower Russia, an American/Europe conflict over Greenland, destabilize the region and give Russia the opportunity of being the “neutral” third party that command the zone. Internationally, the US have the most powerful army, but in the Artic, the Russian have way more strength.
