Sorry I don’t like the optics one bit. If it is the only way to unseat the head of hydra then I STILL don’t like it. Unless complete disclosure occurs after we will forever after be an open aggressive force. Bad enough the puppet hands are restrained by having to at least pretend we aren’t- take that and they will have tanks in the streets first chance to make some coin. No Thank You. Not a precedent I want set. Going after an Allie to take their territory absolutely NO. This has to be comms or a feint. Unless literally the fate of the free world rides on this I cannot imagine this being a legit tactic. Dump Europe by stopping cash flow but no more American blood shed for anything beyond protection of American soil or citizens.
The UN has laws about self determination of people. We can have the locals vote on weather they want to join us,or stay with Denmark. We would have to do more research.....
Greenland is only occupied by the indigenous people, it's not like their are millions of Danes living their.
Some were interviewed by Danish TV today, and said something like: we let the Americans have bases here, we allow them concessions over some areas to dig for natural resources, but we do not want to sell.
I think this whole business is more Trump saying we don't want Greenland to fall into the hands of Russia or China.
That is a different kettle of fish isn’t it? That was not what people claimed President Trump said. IMHO I don’t think that taking it by force is on the table. As I said I think it is a feint. As I stated forced invasions for territory is a line we have never crossed openly.
Utah California Texas Kansas New Mexico all came from defending a territory that applied on its own. Ya know the same thing Europe wants to hate Russia for doing with the Dombass. Invading openly for territory is not something we have done.

What about people's right of self determination?
It's in the UN charter.
We should just ask the Native indigenous people who live their,if they want to join us.

People their hate the Danish govt. From what I've read, I don't know for sure.
But you know Trump will take the easy best route.
How did we deal with Mexico in order to Gain many States???
Texas won its independence from Mexico all by itself and then applied for statehood was split into Colorado and Kansas
We still shut down ALL of Mexico, and Paid them very well for what little we took....
We could have taken the entire thing....

ALLIANCE WITH NONE. COMMERCE WITH ALL.
I guess that works as long as you are certain you want a forever military state
“Commerce with all nations, alliance with none, should be our motto.” Thomas Jefferson
