I don't particularly care for your explanation, but if you do want to post these kind of comments at least explain yourself a bit so potentially a curious conversation can follow. Not doing so is arguably against this site's guidelines.
Can you please leave this comment on all the posts that state “we need to protest” or “look at the mad king” I don’t see any explanation or opportunity for curious conversation.
Why did you single mine out? Oh yeah, the default instinct to censor different ideas.
I support the US assuming control of Greenland because it would be incredibly economically beneficial to the US, militarily beneficial to the US, we’d be on the hook for defending it in case of a war as the EU hardly has any expeditionary force left, and we’ve propped up Europe for 70 years.
It could greatly delay the collapse of the American empire that I love and enjoy living in.
We haven’t been a humble republic since the close of WW2, maybe even WW1.
I am .... optimistic that something can be arranged. I believe that Greenland is extremely important to arctic security, and America is the best country to defend that zone. At the same time I do not support the aggressive tactics by this administration.
Since this was first proposed I still hold the position that it is up to the people of Greenland - not Denmark - to decide their path. I hope they will hold a referendum.
The US has less arctic capability than just the Nordics, not including the Baltic States, Germany, France, Italy and the UK who also all have arctic specialists. How is the US the best country to defend that zone? Less usable equipment, less personnel, less spec ops? Clearly not the planes, f35 can't operate 8 out of 12 months in arctic conditions, unlike the grippen (at least they won overheat). The only part where you need the US is the Navy, because it allows you to project your power, but how does it help against an invasion, where the logistics are on your side anyway?
