    We should give it to Russia.

    Canada that is.

    Democrats would suddenly want walls that way.

    Nothing is over with the art of the deal.

    I'd like to see Trump relocate antifa members to the northern most artic regions, where the communists can subsist on a diet of seal, whale meat, and dried fish.

    It could be with, persuasion. A deal Copenhagen cannot refuse. ;)
    Greenland independence does not pay Copenhagen.
    Cheaper to sell.


    Best Deal for Denmark and :flagus:


    Right Now, Peace Can Be Bought At A Bargain


    Why would Denmark resist unless in league with :flagcanada: ?

    Like that matters
    is the point.

    Sell vs Loss
    to Denmark.


    Remember Panama and Teddy Roosevelt.
    avoiding revisionist historians. :flagus: made Panama.
    A district of the nation of Columbia.
    Because Columbia would not "do business" to create a canal.

    Trump doesn't propose to pay for dirt, he would be buying people, about 60,000 of them. Then there's all the offshore oil that's pretty attractive to Exxon and Mobil. Greenland is believed by some geologists to have some of the world's largest remaining oil and natural gas resources.

    Yes I do.

    Its a strategic asset already protected alone by the US, with some real potential economic benefits for Denmark and the Greenlanders.

    Long term North America needs to be able to defend itself, without regards to europe or asia.

    I'd also like to see a norther tribal exchange between Alaskan, Canadian, and Greenlandic natives.

    There are, its true natural resources there, however they are difficult to access as they are under mile thick sheets of ice.

    And if there is someone to make this happen-its Trump.

    Must I have pictures in my bedroom of Marx, Mao, and Stalin to avoid being called a knuckle dragger?

    Would that show I am enlightened?

    I’d buy Greenland. Not as a public giveaway for extraction corporations like Trump’s plan. But there are legit reasons to acquire it. Though I don’t think they will sell, especially not to Trump. Dude is the worst negotiator ever.

    Yes..... I do take Global Warming seriously.......
    but I think that a Carbon Tax is basically a JOKE played on
    an astonishingly UNDERINFORMED population..............
    For example we Canadians produce less than two percent of global atmospheric
    CO2...... why should we burden our companies and taxpayers with
    tens of billions of dollars in bills for a Carbon Tax...............????????

    Would it do anything at all to protect the obviously vulnerable real estate along the Bay of Fundy?????

    No...... it would NOT!!!!!!!


    Heat wave over Greenland causing massive ice melt




    If average ocean levels rose by eight to ten cms (3 or 4 inches) could high tide...

    ... rise by one meter in the Isthmus of Chignecto in Nova Scotia, Canada?
    This question is logical because the geography of Canada's Bay of Fundy produces the world's highest tides. In my part of Nova Scotia in Guysborough County there is very little funnelling of tidal waters......... so high tide is only about one to one point five meters above low tide.

    In the eastern area of the Bay of Fundy high tide levels are up by ten to fifteen meters.

    He had to put the idea out there to get us thinking........

    so his opening gambit to bring up the topic..... is really quite brilliant!!!!!
