11. Lying again (it's not the real reason: muskrat & co want the minerals for free).

That's the only real reason. The billionaires want the rare-earth materials, no environmental regulations allowed (so they can trash the toxic waste all over the ice there without having to pay to clean it up) for free.

3. So, Putin never would have started the Ukraine war if Trump were President, yet...

Trump is completely incapable of stopping Putin from taking over Greenland if Trump doesn't do it first? The "logic" here is mind numbing.

So pedo's rationale is bullsh!t (again) but not one question mentioned that fact...

And China is not that far from Guam either.

I guess Orange Julius Caesar has never heard of the Bering Strait. Even certified moron Sarah Palin knew that we already have Russia as a neighbor.

If Russia or China tried to occupy Greenland, we would stand with our other NATO members to protect a land that belongs Denmark.

12. I'm worried that tfg will just keep sending more and more troops to Greenland like what ruzzia did in Ukraine.

After a while ruzzia had a whole army in Crimea before any one knew what happened..
I mean the US military can send troops to Pituffik Space Base formerly Thule Air Base. They send more, than more, then more.. What can Denmark do if that happens? Revoke the lease? How would they get the US military out if they refuse to move?
That would be a very sticky situation for sure... and And AND ruzzia/china/NKorea would be smiling..

14. Once taken over by force, pedo the felon will rename Greenland

Trumpland, and as the "owner" of all the natural resources he will charge his billionaires a cut on all their mining.

Also, maybe there are big crude oil reserves underground or nearby... count on that.

Follow the money (corruption king).
