Trump refuses to rule out use of military force to take control of Greenland and the Panama Canal
President-elect Donald Trump says he won't rule out the use of military force to seize control of the Panama Canal and Greenland as he declared U.S. control of both to be vital to American national security.

The fuck does he even want with Greenland. How did this become a thing. Who planted the idea in his tiny head. Is this some Russian plot putin is making him do.
Greenland is rich in mineral resources. One of his dozen billionaires got into his empty head.
Gee, I wonder which insecure shitbag with the jr. high mentality it is?
Military dominance in the Arctic. Russia and China are also vying for influence. The US already has a large military base there. Thule Space Base. But taking territory from friends and allies by military force is probably the worst way to go about doing anything.
Maybe that base ought to be closed given the mess the US made with previous bases.
There's a competition going on to see who can convince drump to publicly say the stupidest thing.
Do we have instruments sensitive enough to distinguish between such abyssal levels of idiocy?
Probably some misguided thought that somehow it will be more habitable than the rest of the US thanks to climate change (the climate change that doesn’t exist) opening up real resource extraction.
Same thing America always wants: oil and control over shipping lanes
But like who told him to do it. This Greenland and Panama canal thing is not something his deep fried brain could come up with in a million years and it came out of him to start which is also weird. Usually the Russian propaganda youtubers start an idea then faux news starts planting seeds then Trump will see it on there and boom we get the tweets. I haven't followed this super close but from what I can gather this originated with him, which is already crazy since he doesn't originate anything on his own except poopy diapers.
Tbh it could've been literally any one of the fascists with which he's surrounded himself this past decade.
I highly doubt this but they could be looking at it as a future refuge when climate change makes most the land around the equator completely uninhabitable. Though, since half of them are already old ghouls I highly doubt they're thinking that far into the future.
I'm guessing to build a resort for them and their rich friends so they can be safe and isolated from the rest of us peasants. Maybe get some natural resources as well with exploitative and unethical labor practices
But the people who would go there are rich enough to build their bunkers there already. It's not like they need it be a part of America to do that.
