Oil revenue, I assume.

So Denmark shows up on a map?

Trump’s annexation of Greenland, long mocked by progressives as a joke or meme, is hardening into reality. The New York Times reported, “Trump Threatens to Take Greenland ‘the Hard Way.’” He’s losing patience.

Trump was characteristically blunt. “The fact that they had a boat land there 500 years ago doesn’t mean they own the land,” he said. “I’m sure we had a lot of boats go there too.”

That is muscular language— language weak American presidents largely abandoned after the Cold War, when meek deference to global consensus replaced testosterone-fueled talk about power and geography. Trump made clear that, this time, he isn’t negotiating: “I’m not talking about money for Greenland yet —I might talk about that— but right now, we’re going to do something on Greenland whether they like it or not.”

In what the Times described as an “ominous warning,” President Trump reinforced the point: America is getting Greenland. “I would like to make a deal the easy way,” the President said, showing the velvet glove, “but if we don’t do it the easy way, we’re going to do it the hard way.”

I doubt the clammy reality was lost on the Danes; this is essentially the same choice Trump offered Nicolás Maduro— right before the “hard way” abruptly arrived in a blizzard of late-night inconvenience and last-minute travel.

It’s not a completely crazy idea. The strategic logic is straightforward. Even AOC can understand it. “I’m a fan of Denmark,” Trump insisted, “but if we don’t do it, Russia or China will take over Greenland, and we’re not going to have Russia or China as a neighbor.”

Kinda like Russia does not want NATO as a neighbor, which is understandable.

But that said, Russia and Alaska are already neighbors.

Some Denmark shows up on a map?

Yeah, it's the later.

I thought it was fish, because Greenland is outside the EEZ. Same reason Norway won't join the EU.

Turns out the whole EEZ is controlled by a Monopoly Company, all of it is in Greenlander hands, and Danes themselves have to pay for the rights to fish there like any EU country.

Denmark is so desperate to feel good and have a seat at the arctic table and be noticed they give away the EEZ to the natives AND pay a billion in social services and welfare at no economic gain to themselves, they don't even use the money to subsidize their control.

Deep in the heart of the polite Dane is the Viking Thane who doesn't want to bash you, but he does want you to come to his big hof and dine at his table and ask him for a favor. The Danes need to embrace their Shadow Self, ha!

Alliance of Nordic States issues communique on the US taking over Greenland:

It's time for the Iran Iraq justification strategy. The Danes asked for it.

Trump claims Maduro escaped and was last seen in Greenland. LOL! More COL Fleet Street claptrap.

LOL!

Are we gefuckt?

Are we gefuckt?

Hardly. My nephew is a Marine Lt now training in Norway for winter warfare. I do not think they do sit-ups in the water, but they do cold water full body dips after cutting a hole in the ice.

Dumass Royalist Daily Spew. However, Israel is moving all the Palestinians to Northern Greenland covered in Polar Bear Rutting Scent, and Trump is moving all the Greenlanders to Gaza.

Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev said Greenlanders could vote to join Russia if U.S. President Donald Trump did not move quickly to secure the Arctic island, Interfax reported on Monday.

“Trump needs to hurry. According to unverified information, in a few days there could be a sudden referendum, at which the entire 55,000-strong Greenland could vote to join Russia," Interfax reported, quoting Medvedev, a former Russian president.

"And then that’s it. No new little stars on the (U.S.) flag."

"And then that’s it. No new little stars on the (U.S.) flag."

Oh, Trump could have fun with that line from Medvedev. "I dunno, Dmitry, I could get couple little stars out of the Kamchatka peninsula. After all, Russia offered to sell it to the US before."

The Woo-sters are busy with Greenland. Of course, one does wonder how it managed to be so ice blocked so far south compared to northern parts of Canada.

Jarlov is fucking retarded. I asked him what would happen if Greenland formally voted to leave Denmark and he flubbered and dodged.

It's all about the Danes wanting to be big shots, they get nothing out of Greenland, not even using the EEZ

Cool. Maximum leverage. Vlad is licking his lips, and would love to trammel his ancient enemies and their doyens in the City of London. It helps when you are a leader who has firmly established that he doesn't bluff.

Trump uses his customary baleful valediction "Thank you for your attention to this matter", more or less meaning, "Ignore at your own hazard".

Twisting their nuts (or ovaries) worked! It really really worked!

Glad the City of London could spare one of its idiot war mongering fuckers from Ukraine.

It was always about Danish pride for some, and making sure they got paid for others.

Looks like a price negotiation is about to begin.

But some will just shout "TACO" not realizing the opening offer was to shock the other side to the table.

All Slavbard ARE BELONG TO TRUMP! They are already picking decorations and colors for the casino hotels.

Iceland, the Faroe Islands, the Jan Mayen Island, Svalbard and the Shetland islands ARE BELONG TO TRUMP! Dusky Polar Bear Pearl is the projected official color.

Denmark and Norway worried about losing islands? Both nations were still under German occupation when the Nazis surrendered. The US made those nations independent again.

Onward and upward to Iceland and Slavbard, or may a polar bear bite you in the ass!

French Troops have arrived in Greenland to help train locals how to surrender to the U.S.

That's why nobody buys French tanks. They only have a reverse gear.

Entity possessed installed City of London shill rattles swords. "They just sent me back to England for some deconstruction dragon tuning, and, boy, am I fierce now."

It'll give Trump the excuse to tune them up.

Trump will buy Greenland, then have all foreign soldiers removed by ICE as illegal aliens.

Germany just announced they are pulling back their troops.
