Thule Greenland has a major US airbase we pay rent on it. We also pay rent on Guantanamo Bay though the current government refuses to cash the checks because they want us out and cashing the checks would mean they accepted the deal first established in 1905.
I don't have time to list all you don't understand but in this case I'll help you Reply #45 by you "Maybe in your world Govts own people...but not in mine. Keep your national socialist rhetoric at home" No one said "Govts own people". What was said was "They come with the deal" which you confirmed in post #91. I "got it" all along, you seemed to have struggled.
Yes, they come with the deal as opposed to "We bought the land, now you have to leave." It's "We bought the land. If you want to stay, stay. If you want to leave, leave," It's not hard to understand.
If could just coordinate the invasion, occupation and assimilation of New Zealand by Australia with similar efforts by on Greenland, who is gonna do what and where would they do it with such simultaneous, righteous use of military might. Should China be alone in carving out their sphere? Remember Hawai'i France, Russia, Japan, Austria, Germany etc. had embassies there and did nothing. So regardless of papers, documents and such fire tinder, who is gonna do what on which and how would they do it? And with two on opposite sides of the globe, etc. etc. <sigh> doesn't anyone respect Manifest Destiny anymore? Moi Hawai'i Greenland! Greenland Also Contains Hegemony.
LA and Mississippi have been controlled by the dems fior 100s of years just within the past decade have we seen a flip. But centuries of bad policies can’t be changed over night.
How much money borrowed from China would you be willing to spend? Inquiring minds would like to know.
30% of US debt is held by foreigners. But, that's beside the point. How much are you willing to spend to buy Greenland?
Conservatives have run Mississipi and the south for years. Just becase they had a D in front does not make them a progressive. The southern Dems were much more conservative than the Rockefeller/Richardson/Brooke/Nixon wing of the republican party and it has been 30 years since a dem senator came from ole miss.
We pay rent in yokohama Japan and for our bases in Germany. I never understood why we have to pay to help protect other countries. It is not like our bases are not a boom to the local economies.
Manifest Destiny died in 1845 when we didn't annex Mexico. It had a brief revival after 1867 but died again when it became evident that we would treat the Metis even worse than the Canadians were. Greenland was never part of Manifest Destiny. Greenland is in Europe
Only 5 percent t by China. Haven’t looked into it. I think more of a study needs to be done. My understanding is it has quite the nature resources, I’d want to review that and if we can get to it
They were big govt liberals...folks like Huey Long. They were not Conservative. There are more levels of govt then just rhe US Senate. Much more that have an impact on the state directly even
Quite correct. As a global rather than a local power there were advantages to us in having the bases.
That's a fair answer. Do you think Trump has reviewed a benefit/cost analysis before floating the idea? I think not. Maybe we have to buy it so see what's in it.
