what is so pathetic with these fake news brain washed liberals is that they’re all shit scared of Putin yet complain when Trump tries to protect the USA and Europes exposure to the Russian arctic front with taking over Greenland.
Quite a dilemma I’d say. Leave Greenland alone and remain exposed to attack by the big bad Putin or have the USA step in and shore things up once and for all. I can see how that’s so difficult to decide.
Remember now Do you really want to send your kids and Grandkids off to war to fight Russia? Or is Putin all of a sudden not so bad and should be given the benefit of the doubt over Greenland?
Russia are loving this, of course. USA breaking up NATO would really help strengthen their position in Ukraine. Plus, if the USA invaded another country, that is supposed to be their allies, they can hardly complain about Russia invading Ukraine. Of course, as you already know, Trump can already stick as many bases and troops in Greenland as he pleases, has always been the way. The USA had tons more troops there during the cold war. Hell, he can even sort out a deal, subject to international environmental rules, where he drills for minerals.
But a ranting dick head, like you, with his toungue firmly up a convicted felon and rapist's arse, quite clearly has no critical thinking ability.

If his concern is really security then that can easily be achieved without requiring control of Greenland.

It’ll be a carrot and economic pressure, then there is the Putin threat. It’s either Greenland or Ukraine, that’s for Europe to decide I suppose. But Ukraine and no USA support doesn’t look like a winner to me.
As for Liberals I think we all know how dangerous they are.
Ok, just at can I see where you're at, whether you think he will or he won't, what would you think of Trump if he did use military action to take Greenland?

clearly went over your head.
the 3 indicators of stagflation are:
1. persistent inflation
2. sluggish growth
3. growing unemployment
1 & 3 are well underway, unless you wanna try and pretend again that inflation is going down?
2 is being masked by data centre inflation and increasing spend via personal debt.
The immergance of that 'K' shaped economy is masking the struggles of the bottom 80% in society. Have a look at the levels of personal debt (record levels) of that bottom 80% and then look at credit card delinquency rates - highest rates in 15 years.
That bottom 80% are being hit with inflation on the things that matter most (electricity costs, housing, food and clothes) and are taking on more debt........... and now they are struggling to pay that debt.Still listening to the liberal networks and news outlets I see. Some people never learn.
Yeah the USA are about to spend Billions on a dome that won’t work ffs! Just like the border wall wouldn’t work. Have you ever listened to your self?

if you're worried about protecting New York from Russian and Chinese hypersonic missiles, and you HAD the tech to shoot them down - would you:
a) deploy it and use it as a nuclear deterent
b) not use it and bluster about taking over Greenland instead.
tough choice.Too stupid to take serious.maybe you should block me with your imaginary tech that shoots down missiles.

The only place we've finally got is that no Patriot missile or Iron dome or Golden dome has the capability to shoot down hypersonic glide missiles. If Russia decides to fire an Avangard missile or if China fire a DF-17 there is no stopping it. The tech isn't advanced enough (yet).
By that point its too late anyway as America has a 'launch on warning' stance which would basically mean the end of humanity as China/Russia/US all fire everything they have.Which makes Peace through strength even more important. I’m pretty sure the Americans know what they are doing and are a bit more up to speed than you and your liberal sources are. To dismiss American technology is follie and not worth arguing about.Right............... so you need to control Greenland so you can 'protect' the northern hemisphere with technology that hasnt been invented yet.
awesome.

Funny how all these Liberal forecasts are always negative and always dead wrong. It’s as if their parents were cousins such is their absolute train wreck of policy and governance.

All he’s doing is making food, agriculture and pharmaceutical imports more expensive for the US consumer or US importers.
about 30% of US pharmaceutical imports come from the EU, and c20% of food and agriculture imports.
btw with modern technology it’s still almost impossible to shoot down 1 hypersonic missile. Just one.
