Well hey, the POTUS says there was activity, you don't believe him.  That's a pretty compelling case you make.  I guess you can just say Lies$#@! for everything and we can save all future discussion.

Well, except for the other thing I posted about how China has already tried to buy a now-defunct military base in China.

Here is the Danish foreign minister, at the 0:25 mark, saying they share to some extent our concerns; "there is definitely a new security situation in the arctic and the high north." Immediately after is footage of Trump saying "If we don't go in, Russia will go in or China will go in, and there is nothing that Denmark could do about it."

 

Let me know if you want to discuss or if you want to pop another TDS pill and pretend Trump wants to acquire Greenland to build Mar-a-Fjord-o

Oh, Jerry! You once told me I couldn't be serious about a conversation because I referred to the Don as a 'turnip' and therefore you didn't want to continue.

We're at the point at which nothing this administration says can be taken at face value. They've demolished that credibility themselves; the imaginary affliction you ascribe to others to dismiss uncomfortable truths did not.

Let me know if you want to discuss or if you'd rather huff another canister of MA-gas and pretend Trump wants to acquire Greenland due to his sudden tactical genius.

Wow. What a life you must live. Whining day and night about Trump.

I provided a video and even pointed out the exact quote and timestamp of the statement by the Danish Foreign Minister, and you respond by throwing the gun with this diarrhea?  I'll take the W I guess, but I had thought better of you and I'm sorry I wasted my time.  Noted.

Starting on February 1st, 2026, all of the above mentioned Countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland), will be charged a 10% Tariff on any and all goods sent to the United States of America. On June 1st, 2026, the Tariff will be increased to 25%. This Tariff will be due and payable until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland. The United States has been trying to do this transaction for over 150 years. Many Presidents have tried, and for good reason, but Denmark has always refused. Now, because of The Golden Dome, and Modern Day Weapons Systems, both Offensive and Defensive, the need to ACQUIRE is especially important

I was kind of Meh on this topic.  I mean, I don't think we should invade it or anything but didn't really care one way or the other as long as it wasn't acquired by force.  However, I found out that Denmark hasn't exactly treated the indigenous people of Greenland very well so maybe it wouldn't be the worst thing if we did acquire Greenland:

“Now, after Centuries, it is time for Denmark to give back — World Peace is at stake! China & Russia want Greenland, & there is not a thing that Denmark can do about it... The United States of America is immediately open to negotiation with Denmark and/or any of these Countries...” - President Trump

How a failed social experiment in Denmark separated Inuit children from their families

 Summarize

Helene Thiesen was one of 22 Inuiit children separated from their families in Greenland 70 years ago.

Editor’s note: This story is part of CNN’s commitment to covering issues around identity, including race, gender, sexuality, religion, class and caste.

Seven-year-old Helene Thiesen peered out from aboard the passenger ship MS Disko, knowing she was setting sail from Greenland to a place called Denmark. What she could not understand is why her mother had chosen to send her away on that unhappy day in 1951.

“I was so sad,” Thiesen, now 77 years old, recalled to CNN. Rigid with sorrow, Thiesen was unable to wave back to her mother and two siblings, who were watching from the harbor off the coast of the Greenland capital, Nuuk. “I looked into (my mother’s) eyes and thought, why was she letting me go?”

Thiesen was one of 22 Inuit children who were taken from their homes not knowing that they would end up being part of a failed social experiment. Aged between 5 and 9 years old, many of them would never see or live with their families again, becoming forgotten about and marginalized in their native land.

At the time, Greenland was a Danish colony, and Greenlanders were suffering from high levels of poverty, low quality of life and high rates of mortality, said Einar Lund Jensen, a project researcher at the National Museum of Denmark.

 

The Inuit children are seen at an orphanage back in Greenland wearing outfits made for them after a visit from Queen Ingrid of Denmark. Thiesen says the girls called them their “princess dresses.”

Denmark’s aim was “to create little Danes who would become the intelligentsia; role models for Greenland,” said Jensen, who co-authored a recent government-commissioned report investigating the experiment.

The Danish government felt compelled to modernize the arctic colony, hoping to hold onto their interests as post-war decolonization movements swept through the globe. They took up an idea from human rights organization Save the Children Denmark of bringing Inuit children to the country in order to recover from what were perceived as their bad living conditions, he said.

The assumption at that time was “Danish society is superior to Greenlandic society,” he added.

After a year and a half in Denmark, most of the children were returned to Greenland to live in an orphanage run by another charity, the Danish Red Cross, in Nuuk — separated from Greenlanders and their families and banned from speaking their mother tongue. CNN has reached out to the Danish Red Cross for comment.

I think it’s funny to see you use indigenous people as an excuse to invade Greenland.

I bet @Strike doesn't even know the US did the same thing.

The Danish Foreign Minister saying "there's a new security situation" is NOT corroboration of the Don's direct words re: Chinese presence or his insistence that suddenly, after 80 years of essentially free US reign on the island, Greenland is suddenly the most vital tract of land in the world for US security. So valuable it's worth potentially breaking up NATO over. Something, I've noticed, you've failed to address.

Bottom line, I have no incentive to believe much of anything that comes from his mouth. He is a habitual liar; it is so engrained that he does not seem to understand the difference between the truth and fantasy. If you wanna call this throwing the gun, go for it; that's a nice easy way to slowly back away. I suspect you don't really have a good defense for any of this, other than "Trump said it was so." I'm open to further discussion, but clearly you believe the Don, and I never will, so once again, we're just living in different realities.

As I said, all you have is "Trump is a liar liar pants on fire!".  Amazingly, you accuse me of backing away because I don't have a good defense, when I provided video which does exactly that.  Except you say "no it doesn't," without offering any evidence to the contrary.

Carry on.
