I lust for Greenland. It really ought to be ours. We've been defending it since 1941 anyway.

GO AHEAD AND EMBARGO YOUR BUTTER COOKIES, DANES!!!

They'll embargo Danish teen porn. They know that it is inevitable that Greenland come under Trump's jurisdiction. There will be a lengthy blowhard bargaining phase.

Thanks Grok!

The Louisiana Purchase was a 1803 deal where the US acquired about 828,000 square miles of territory from France for $15 million (around $390M today). It doubled the nation's size, spanning from the Mississippi River to the Rockies, and was negotiated by President Jefferson without prior congressional approval—though later ratified. No military force involved.

So when Greenland is (fictionally) decorated with the American flag, the entire MSM freaks out and Scandinavian politicians call it “a threat”, but when migrants decorate our monuments and streets with Palestinian flags and Syrian flags, and march with ISIS flags, then it’s unproblematic?

Wife of Stephen Miller:

Trump should call Greenland "Kalaallit Nunaat" to respect the natives.

I think we need Iceland, too, just to be safe.

Denmark has a dark past in Greenland, a past it would rather you didn't talk about, child abduction, forced sterilisation, forced Labour and exploitation.

Denmark’s possession of Greenland, whose actual name is Kalaallit Nunaat, began as a mission to reclaim land from "lost" Norsemen but evolved into centuries of systemic cultural erasure and economic exploitation of the Indigenous Inuit.

In 1721, Danish missionary Hans Egede arrived to "save" Norse descendants from paganism. Finding only Inuit, he instead forcibly converted them to Lutheranism, denouncing traditional shamans and rituals. Denmark then established a state trade monopoly in 1776, treating the island as a profitable hub for whale blubber and minerals while keeping the indigenous Inuit isolated and dependent.

In 1953, Denmark formally annexed Greenland as a "county" to avoid UN decolonization requirements, this led to a period of brutal social engineering.

This era also saw the sinister "Little Danes" experiment, where the state abducted Inuit children and relocated them to Denmark to be molded into a Danish-speaking elite, causing lifelong trauma. Simultaneously, thousands of Inuit were forcibly moved from ancestral hunting grounds into concrete apartment blocks to centralize labor for Danish controlled factories, devastating traditional kinship networks.

Between 1966 and 1970, Danish authorities further violated Indigenous rights by secretly fitting over 4,500 Inuit women and girls, some as young as 12 with IUDs without consent to curb the population.

While Greenland gained Home Rule in 1979 and Self-Government in 2009, the legacy of Danish control persists.

As of today, Greenland remains a territory under the "Danish Crown" with some International bodies continimg to pressure Denmark to address its colonial legacy of racial discrimination and provide justice for the victims of the "Spiral Case" and forced child removals.

So as the Danes shout about "US Imperialism" bear in mind how they came to control this region far from Danish shores, and how brutally they exploited it's people for the "Crown"

Also, Eirik the Red was an outlaw from Norway who became an outlaw in Iceland. Iceland at the time was a rough frontier community with no King, just an Althing, a sort of community law court.

Greenland was found and discovered (there were no Inuit there, either earlier "Dorsets" or their "Thule" successors) by free Vikingkar. No Dannebrog was flown, at least for the first few generations; eventually a bishop was sent from Denmark and perhaps there was some nominal allegiance/trading privileges with the Kingdom of Denmark. Norway (inc. Iceland) eventually waived claims to Greenland to Denmark.

But Denmark did not "Discover" Greenland.

Maybe we should include Denmark, too, just to be safe.

Donroe the KommieKunts and election fraudsters out of Canada. Break the back of the City of London and the criminal Commonwealth. They are the source of our miseries and have been at war through their CCP proxies. Cousins my ass.

Maybe we should annex Scandinavia just to be safe. It would be a short missile ride over to the City of London.

She's already providing Trump with irresistible incentives to annex Greenland.

Since we're going for Finland, maybe annexing the Baltic States would also be a good security measure.

Israel has just made a bid to move the Palestinians to the northernmost tip of Greenland after Trump buys it.

Wait, Carney has 32 Cuban Intel/SpecOps personnel too? Wouldn't be surprised!

In other words: protectorate status

Ring a loud bell and see how many start looking like lizards.

I can't forget the vid when Carney was being asked stressful questions by journalists and he started talking in some kind of bizarre language in a non sequitur. That was over the top, like an open display of demonic possession.

Ppl r hallucinating on Greenland’s mineral wealth.
Exploring and mining in the Arctic is a literal hellscape. The constraints r insane and the costs to overcome 'em r mooning way past imagination.

Geologically, permafrost is a nightmare. Ground’s frozen solid—normal drilling hits a wall. Building stable foundations for gear is a massive money pit.

Ops r cooked too. Constant darkness for months in winter. Working 24/7 under floodlights craters efficiency and spikes accident risk.

At -40°C to -50°C, metal gets brittle and just snaps. U need custom alloy gear, and keeping fuel/lube from freezing is a constant battle. The diesel/power burn just to keep lights on and engines warm is eye-watering. Immediate Opex blow-up.

Logistics? Absolute disaster. It’s not about digging it out; it’s about moving it.

Zero roads or rails. Everything moves by heli, light plane, or ship. Moving ore to a port costs multiples of what normal mines pay. Plus, zero local smelters. U gotta ship it across oceans, burning time and cash.

Shipping windows r tiny. Some coasts r only accessible a few months a year. U either pay for icebreakers or pray the 1-year supply/export window doesn’t get wrecked by bad weather. If the ship misses the slot, the whole year is a wash.

Look at the Citronen Fjord Zn project at 83°N. It’s one of the world's biggest undeveloped Zn-Pb deposits, but it's 2,100km north of Nuuk. Total isolation.

They get a 3-month window to move a year’s worth of cargo. One bad storm and the project is bricked for the season. Ironbark Zinc tried for ages, but it just got flipped to Dubai-based Almeera Ventures. That’s a clear signal on how brutal the Capex and funding hurdles r.

The core issue: does the margin even justify the risk? Building a mine w/ zero infra is a Capex black hole.
Think global warming helps? Think again.

Thawing permafrost is actually trashing existing infra and roads. Extreme weather just jacks up Opex even more.

We’re talking 10-15 yrs from discovery to first ore. If commodity prices crater in between, u’re left holding a stranded asset.

This is the reality of mining. Arctic dev is 10x harder than u think. Plz, stop living in a dream world. There’s a reason Denmark wasn't aggressive on dev.

U really think they held back just to protect the Inuit? Give me a break. Money always trumps ESG in the end, no matter the optics.

U can spam 'self-sufficiency' and 'strategy' all u want, but u can't meme ur way past physics and economics. Wake up.

It's not even blond bush, it's a bunch of Inuits.

TheAntiPanicanLearingCenter says

keeping fuel/lube from freezing is a constant battle

My dad was in Alaska during the Korean war, and said they left the trucks running 24/7 because otherwise the fuel lines would freeze.

And that when you started to drive a truck, there was a flat spot frozen into the tire that would make it a very bumpy ride until the tires warmed up from the friction.

And that you could throw a bucket of water out the door and ice would hit the ground.
