It would make more sense for Greenland to take over the US

Ukraine - kowtow to Russia for a share of the resources
etc etc
And?

Apart from Lurpak, Butter Cookies and bacon what have the Danes achieved with said resources?

Venezuela was a socialist hell.

Ukraine a cess pit of corruption.

Fuck 'em.
And what the US? Impressive militarily but what about the people? Drug riddled, obscene murder rate, a prison population to rival small countries, literacy rates far below Europe, why would anyone be in a rush to be ruled by them? You'd be right at home though why not move mate?

Yup like I said, GDP growth largely driven by investment in data centres. The by product of which is higher electricity bills for all Americans.

outside of data centres GDP growth is minimal.

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.

World peace has been restored. Gazza has just shown up at the White House with a bucket of chicken, cans of lager, dressing gowns and fishing rods. Apparently Trump used to work the doors at a Newcastle nightclub and is a reet good lad.

If his concern is really security then that can easily be achieved without requiring control of Greenland.
Nah actually l think he has two and half years left after mid terms win or lose

Actually I haven’t mentioned Trump attacking anyone, Trump will get Greenland without military force ffs. 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? 
After all these years you still don’t understand.

If Trump attacks Europe or Denmark then I’d say he is a cսnt. Partly because he doesn’t have to.

But attacking Europe or Denmark was never part of any threat or deal. That’s just liberal media nonsense running rampant again. Fake News! How many more times you gonna fall for this shit?

Why would I block you? It’s hilarious watching you try to act intelligent. 

I noticed you dropped the word Stagflation from your vocabulary. Wonder why? Oh that’s right, you’re now playing the long game. Ag ag ag ag!
it was a joke based on your imaginary missile dome where the tech doesn't exist.
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?
by Liberal networks do you mean your own government? because they provide a lot of the data points i just gave you.

have you listened to yourself? they are not "about" to spend anything, your make-up wearing sexual abuser of women hero is stamping his little feet because he can't get his own way over Greenland

and the tech doesn't exist to shoot down certain types of hypersonic missiles. This is widely recognised.
But you think its exists because................ errmm because of no actual reason.

Okay lets walk this through........

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.
