Trump doesn't rule out military intervention in Greenland. Thoughts?

[Cubus]

U. S. President Donald Trump hinted he could use military force to take over Greenland — in the latest sign of Washington's fixation with the autonomous territory in the Kingdom of Denmark.

“We’ll get Greenland. Yeah, 100 percent,” Trump told NBC.

"There's a good possibility it could be done without military force," he said, adding however that "I don't take anything off the table."

I don't support that. he softened the message, but it's not a good angle globally when read that in the news. Is an example where hard ball doesn't work in all areas and in some cases backfires. He needs a diplomat in front of him to communicate, it's always been his weakness.

Try swinging as hard as you can at every ball, it's a bad move. But he only has one method that works, lacks diplomacy. It's unfortunate tradeoff in personality and skills.

What he is saying is it is of vital interest... can't say he's really justified that.

Double down fuck up with also starting a war with Iran over his mishandling of the Iran nuclear deal. If don was replaced with a Russian/China/Iran/Saudi Arabia spy there actions wouldn't be any different yet this is how we make America great again? Holy shit.

I'm very confused by his action to be honest. I do not understand why he would want to risk to get into a war for Greenland. Greenland may be a strategic place to going to the point of way for it is crazy.

I don't support the use of military force for an offensive (rather than defensive) purpose.

Well this is where the United States is at now. The once admirable industrial power that single-handedly, you might as well say, stopped Japan from terrorizing the entire Southeast Pacific and who in recent times have kept Russia and China from getting cute as well as delivering aid all over the world. . . . now has aspirations to bully fucking Greenland. Greenland. The most peaceful place on earth outside of Antarctica. Leave it these morons, these braindead fucking MAGA cocksuckers to pick a fight with Greenland. I say send MAGA folks first before the military. Greenland folk know how to use a bow and a rifle

Honestly, I think it's time to teach Europe a lesson about capitalism. Every capitalist knows that the most valuable assets are the ones that pay for themselves. Therefore, once we taken over Greenland, then Europe will essentially be funding its own protection. Unfortunately, most Europeans are too simple-minded to see it this way.

Another shiny object for the worthless scriblers of the corporate controlled media to chase and be distracted from the real crimes & damage he's up to.

Have you ever had a job that required you to negotiate anything?

[Cubus]

Yeah. The case is Trump's way of negotiating is as subtle as an elephant in a porcelain warehouse.

[noohair]

Correct

[Pohjolan]

I'm perplexed as to why Americans think that it would be easier to fight multiple countries with fighter jets and submarines than Yemenis?

[slatyb]

He's a would-be dictator

[Dargil]

Part of his negotiating style.

[exitseven]

I do not think it will come to that.
