robomarx thinks Greenland should have secure borders, but the US should not have secure borders. It's why robomarx should be deported with the illegal aliens.

The fact that WW2 began based on the same logic you're espousing and the UN Charter (its creation spearheaded by the US) was created to prevent more similar wars If you want to create new international norms without international law where involuntary annexations are routine by any countries that think they can get away with it, including America's enemies, that's a really stupid and dangerous foreign policy not in anyone's interests and could easily lead to many new wars, maybe even WW3. Also, the places you listed became a part of the US prior to the UN Charter when European empires still ruled, and some joined voluntarily by vote or purchase Threatening Denmark and its allies with war if they don't sell Greenland isn't peaceful. Trump/Vance are even more arrogant than Bush/Cheney were, or Putin. Neither have any clue what they're doing. They just like smashing things and claiming it's theirs like a big bully baby in a sandbox. Mommy should have spanked them more growing up.

How will you reply to this? Claim it's AI? She deserved to get shot. Period. The same standard has to apply to anyone using a vehicle as a weapon against law enforcement or civilians.

OMG! That's what happened to Hunter Biden's laptop - Freeland's got it! Great detective work everyone - another conspiracy theory proven!

WW2 began because of Treaty of Versailles punishment and UK appeasement. Different logic and circumstances. The U.S. has sought Greenland many times in the past. And some were spoils of war. Nothing magic about the UN Charter...many wars since then...including Canada.

So I'll deal with the Beave's question. I do not believe Trump will forcibly take Greenland. Instead I think he'll flood the zone with military bases and American businesses. This will bring a prosperity that the people of Greenland will not want to lose. In essence...he'll buy Greenland's cooperation.

It's members aren't going to go their separate ways after they kick the US out. Maybe they'll vote internally on who they'll align with per each individual conflict.

HAHAHA. I quoted the White House, not Trump. You can't even read. All you have are lies and empty denials, you have nothing. So again, stop lying you Russian bot and STFU. Canadians aren't as dumb as American Republican supporters so your Trump con-job parroting won't work on them. Stick with the easy marks lol.

The US won't ever be trusted again as an ally as long as there's any US politicians evoking Trumpism. Trump is blowing up the country economically and politically.

Do ANY of the MAGA trolls on this forum have the gonads to actually admit Trump has ZERO moral ethical or legal justification to forcibly annex Greenland from a NATO ally? Can ANY of them even try to explain with a straight face how this is anything different than when Hitler annexed Poland or when Putin annexed Crimea? What I see is them all avoiding the topic

Foreign Military Sales (FMS) are less than 1% of total US GDP, and all defense spending is around 4% of GDP. So the answer to your question is that the bulk of weapons sales would continue to be the U.S. Department of Defense (War). Foreign defense contractors (including those in Canada) benefit from U.S. domestic and foreign military sales as subcontractors...this would also continue sans U.S. NATO membership. Some old reasons (national security vs. China/Russia) and new...natural resources extraction. In the Cold War past, the U.S. had numerous military and "research" bases in Greenland.

Trump has said repeatedly that he’s going to annex Greenland, militarily if necessary. Do you deny it?

^^Dumbest comment in a dumb thread. CSIS

This happened: USA TODAY:Package containing explosives found near Arizona Supreme Court This was probably someone that is mad about not having the right to discrimenately kill babies: Group launches campaign to oust 2 Arizona justices over abortion ruling It is really sad what the left has become. They can't just protest and try to convince people to support them. They have to kill people or threaten to kill people to get their way. That should tell you just how unpopular their beliefs are.

This independent investigative journalist has compiled financial data for 575 First Nations in Canada. Link to publicly available data below his explanation. CDN First Nations wealth, and wealth per capita, taken from Financial Statements. CDN First Nations are required by law to make public their Financial Statements But in 2015 Justin Trudeau said 'Don't worry, though I swore an Oath to uphold the laws of Canada, I'm going to selectively enforce them based on race.' He should have been evicted on this alone. However, most bands do file them, or at least most Financial Statements are available, (but not always up to date). But they are PDF's which makes it extremely difficult for us plebs to comprise encompassing financial data. I suggest it's on purpose. So I downloaded all 575 Financial Statements, and manually scraped the data for accuracy. I wanted to see the CASH of each band, and the ACCUMULATED SURPLUS (Net Equity). Then I scraped the Reserve population of each band, and correlated the PER CAPITA WEALTH. The CASH position is not the total Financial Position, like Investments, Receivables, etc, but just CASH! Like the Wiikwemkoong who have $755M in cash (from a settlement). Why do we have to keep funding them? Private sector accounting uses "Net Equity" to show Total Assets - less Total Liabilities Band Statements use Canadian public sector accounting standards, and the term "Accumulated Surplus", which assumes perpetual funding. Samson Cree Nation expects perpetual funding. Each Reserve population is published as a webpage, not a database, but I scraped that too, to get a per capita correlation. On Reserve is directly tied to Band wealth, where off Reserve is not dealt the same. Why do some bands have no one on Reserve, but yearly funding? To add transparency I have made all 575 financial statements available for download, as well as the spreadsheets complied to make the data for the webpage. If you find an error please let me know. Why did I do this? Because there is no accountability in First Nations financing. We pay for them as a single entity, but many band members are far wealthier than the average Canadian per capita, and so when will it stop? Can't we ask a financial questions, or is that rAcIsT? I hope this helps people who want to know where their taxes are being spent, and find corruption within government. I did this so everyone can investigate, to reduce misinformation, and to bring accountability. I don't make money from X and I don't want any money from you. But once see the Financial Statements, and factor taxpayer funding, an entire new picture comes to light, and many more questions arise. Far more than just when will it stop, but WTF is going on?? LINK: Canadian First Nations Financial Data I think that most Indigenous are just like you and me, governed by people who tell lies, grease their friends, make shady deals, and foster division to detract from accountability. Band members sued their own Nation to get Band financial statements. Federal Court Orders Thunderchild First Nation to Disclose Financial Records - NetNewsLedger

There is even less evidence that law enforcement targets black people. I am just illustrating the absurd by being absurd. You do that every day, without the illustration part. Last wedensday was a slow day.

Oh, you're not fooling anyone. We all know damn well that you don't subscribe to the Atlantic, and that you didn't read the article. There's no room for new information in your tiny info bubble. Just copy and past some more of your standard debunked grievances and move on.

Yes, it's good they're trying to do something. Points for that. Finally acknowledging and pushing back against the absolute absurdity that their leadership wasn't required to even go through the pretense of financial transparency and accountability is a really noteworthy step we should all take a cue from. 🙄 Except, haven't we always required our governments to provide financial records, and don't we already have the RCMP investigating and trying to catch white-collar criminals?

Although DRIPA was enacted in British Columbia, its principles and standards are recognized and implemented across Canada, and that includes federal legislation. ...........reconciliation is getting to resemble national flagellation.

LMAO you will only comment to defend Trump’s exact quotes but not provide any original thoughts of your own. Hilarious. Thanks for proving my point.

Tis the winter of discontent - followed by the Spring and then Summer .......... Fall? Cancel the Midterms ...........an election in this heated environment might result in extreme civil unrest. spit balling - imagine if the political Right retained a majority - an even larger majority? OMG!

LOLOL!!! Oh dear, little @ExFlyer Seems to have woken up and is doing his usual routine of following me around and giving little passive aggressive down arrows Awww little guy, guess mommy told you that you couldn't have that lego set you wanted and now you're all pissy mad? God i live rent free in your brain

I know. But as Libbies tend to do...the Beave here seems to wanna derail your "fun with robo". So I've done my best to rationally answer him in an effort to quell his derailment of your point. please proceed..

Watching the news makes it clear Trump has no plan. (Why does Rubio always look so scared on camera?) Still no clear reason why Trump pardoned one of the biggest Narco-Terrorists? No one's shedding tears for Maduro. It's not the what but the why. Because Maduro stole Trump's dance moves? So far no plan excepet to steal oil. And no plan to help Machado because she wouldn't give Trump her Nobel? A 7 year old is running the US and phucking things up all around the world. Russia and China are laughing their asses off. Big time criminals around the world can't wipe the smiles off their faces.

Or...at least...not a total flop.

Says the limp Libbie.

Taking control of Venezuela's oil is a direct hit against Russia, China, Iran, and Cuba. This helps Ukraine, could lead to regime change and revolution in Iran. The changing demographics of Europe are destined to violently destabilize the region, making it an existential liability to the future security of the United States.

Wrong, it’s to use you all as cannon fodder against the soviets. You all outlived your useful purpose to America.

Boy...your TDS is showing. Nobody said Denmark has been threatened. But in order for you to exercise your hatred, you have to lie. That's one of the biggest problems you limp biscuits have. In order to make your points, you have to lie.

Not for long.

It's not Greenland, it's the times. You are citing events that happened over 200 years ago. America's greatness culminated in its leadership of forging a new global order, headquartered in New York. With that came a set of rules that ensured it would be at the center of everything. Economic, military, political. Does the current leadership measure up, In terms of character and intelligence, to the decades of American leaders that built that world order? Only a minority of Americans, and almost no one in the domain of allies think so. I'm not saying anything about the morality of this play, just that it seems utterly unachievable without more support.... And as such it seems like a reckless effort.

If circumstances make it necessary, then yes. It's not complicated. See U.S. history: Louisiana Purchase, Alaska, Mexico, Florida, Texas, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Virgin Islands, Samoa, etc. What makes Greenland so special ?

I believe that the U.S. should do whatever is in the national and allied interest, as in the past. The U.S. had designs on Greenland going back to 1867, and many times since with many presidents. The precedent is not new or surprising given current world affairs, the same concerns that led to many U.S. bases (up to 17) in the past. There is a 1951 defence agreement between Denmark and the United States that supports continued American footprint on Greenland. I read that Denmark's military is smaller than the New York City police department, and is incapable of holding Greenland (from any potential adversary). Just because it's Trump doesn't change the calculus or history. Hell, Canadians in Stephenville, Newfoundland still commemorate their post WW2 American air force base (Ernest Harmon AFB). I have audio tapes from my old man entertaining the troops there in 1957.

More of your pathetic lies. And the same old laundry list that you have run away like a coward from the last several times you peddled, and I responded to. The BLM summer of violence lasted months with Democrats fanning the flames, it was not just black people out protesting police violence. It was the left wing pushing this against Trump as they targeted federal property, the White House, federal law enforcement, and federal courthouses, with Nancy Pelosi out calling federal law enforcement brown shirts and saying they were kidnapping people while making lawful arrests of people who had assaulted them.

You clearly do not understand the meaning of "literally" at all. You are being dishonest, pushing what he said to mean more than he actually said. Why? Because you lie, you lie over and over again because Trump has eaten your brain.

You don't believe that Brookfield(and Carney $$$) will be involved in the lucrative reconstruction of Ukraine despite it being a matter of record???

As soon as Trump is gone, Greenland will kick the American military out of the country. The base will be operated by other NATO nations.

Yeah. I was the first one to post that. Dan Bongino was the one that caught him. Because Dan followed the facts and I go by bad is bad. We know the left has a high propensity for violence. Do you need a list? Hundreds of BLM riots 2 attempts to kill Trump Killed Charlie Kirk Tried to kill Bennie Johnson Killed illegal immigrants trying to kill CBP/ICE agents Ambused ICE facility Dallas police ambush Hundreds of ANTIFA riots Dozens of ANTI-ICE riots Etc Etc Etc You don't want to try to take the high road. I will disavow any violence on my side and point out any violence on yours. I am not the hypocrite here, you are.

Hey did you hear they caught thenJan 6 pipe bomber? A Trump supporting nutjob who believed his stolen election lies. What do you say about that?

No i don't, don't be fooled by all this liberal rhetoric, we have heard it millions of times by both governments...promise the moon, deliver a piece of rock from your own back yard... Why , because they are one of the best fighter aircraft available to Canada at this time.....They are Gen 5 , while the Gripen is only Gen 4. Your talking about an event that has not even happened, much like our annexation....Why would you deny our young men and women the best aircraft in the world that is available to Canada right now, certainly not over a rumor or a what if event...So yes i think we should buy F-35's.... NO, i think there are plenty of other aircraft out there that would be 10 times the Gripen aircraft...Euro fighter, Rafale, both are getting upgrades, and are considered 4.5 gen ...The reason they dropped out of the competition was Canada was asking for to much off sets. So why would we buy an aircraft that at best placed 3 rd in the competition, after the Euro and Rafale dropped out...It makes no sense....with everyone's hatred of anything American, we have blinded ourselves to the next best choices....and some how the Gripen has this massive media campaign on...and Canadians have latched onto it as it was moms boobs. Let me ask you this What does happen when US decides to take Greenland....what is the world going to do ? condemn the act, which is most likely but that's as far as the world goes....NATO might even lose some of it's members....might even collapse....Which means nothing to America they for the most part are NATO, think of the money they would save.....Europe will have to stand up for itself, which would cost trillions....Canada is the next question mark...No way we can even think about defending off the US....do we run up the white flag ?....or do we bite the bullet and spend 5 % on defense because we would be on our own accord with perhaps a hostile neighbor to the south.......

Just saw a statement from Carney on CPAC, following his meetings in Paris to form a "coalition of the willing" to fight for and support Ukraine. (Meanwhile in Ukraine, nothing says "willing" like men of all ages are being grabbed off the street, shoved into vans and sent to the frontline meat grinder.) He word-salads around a lot, like usual, but the gist of it was that Canada is trying to build up its military in order to provide boots on the ground in Ukraine. The more destruction, the more infrastructure damage. Carney, via Brookfield, $$ benefits $$ from continuing the war. YOUR sons, sons-in-law and grandsons......not so much. I doubt we'll be seeing HIS daughter-who's-now-a-son, in boots over there.

Search The Indian Affairs budget in Canada has seen a significant increase since 2015. The budget for Indigenous services has nearly tripled, growing from approximately CAD 11 billion in 2015 to over CAD 32 billion in 2025. This represents an increase of about 181% over the decade. So, an enormous amount of money being directed to the Indian Affairs budget. And yet, there are still serious housing issues with First Nations people. GPT-4o mini Yes, there are significant housing problems on First Nation reserves in Canada. These issues include: Insufficient Housing Many First Nations face a severe shortage of adequate housing. Some communities have long waiting lists for homes, leading to overcrowding. Poor Housing Quality A substantial number of homes on reserves are in disrepair, with issues like mold, inadequate insulation, and lack of running water. This can contribute to health problems among residents. Isn't this a clear indication that all that money is not being used in a prudent manner? Chief Ron Giesbrecht of the tiny Kwikwetlem First Nation in British Columbia’s lower mainland took home an eye-popping $914,219 in 2013. The band has a population of only 82! Chief Paul Sam of Shuswap Indian Band in BC, with 87 residents, earned $202,413 in 2013. Many Shuswap reserve residents have asked questions for more than a decade about the band’s spending, even going so far as to occupy the band office demanding answers that, until now, went unanswered. The houses are in disrepair. Band members are living with no water and sewer!

This has been a problem for a very long time. The chiefs and their allies live in comparative luxury and almost nothing gets done for the average person but they're told that it's the government's fault and the government doesn't provide money. So they're all behind the chiefs when the chiefs tell them to do this or that during an election but they don't realize that the biggest barrier to their success is the chiefs themselves. We've seen many many stories where it turns out that chiefs are making five or 10 million dollars a year for their services and claiming it's fair wages well the rest of their band lives in near poverty

This is why you drift left more times than not. It is a matter of being "moral or holy" because if you're not moral or holy then you are immoral and unholy. The Left, at its core, is both immoral and unholy. Many on the Right are immoral and unholy but the core values of the Right is to keep this country constitutionally together (which is moral and holy) - the left (democrats) is the opposite of that.

Well the "left" (and I suspect you mean Democrats, which is laughable) has no monopoly on hating the courts, judges, elected officials etc. This IS January 6th... We also have these: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cg5v5l4eylyo https://minnesotareformer.com/2025/06/17/vance-boelter-voted-in-2024-minnesota-republican-presidential-primary-records-show/ https://www.nationalmemo.com/michigan-judges-assassin-was-far-right-trumpist-but-not-militia-member The difference between me and others who draw conclusions due to affilations is that I would NEVER assign "nature" to someone who voted differently from me, had a different nationality, religion, or creed...

No. Never said that. Who are you confusing me with? Haven't actually read my posts, have you?

Pierre Trudeau and Jean Chretien had proposed 'The White Paper' back in 1969. "The 1969 White Paper (officially entitled Statement of the Government of Canada on Indian Policy) was a policy paper proposal set forth by the Government of Canada related to First Nations. Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau and his Minister of Indian Affairs, Jean Chrétien, issued the paper in 1969. The White Paper proposed to abolish all legal documents that had previously existed, including (but not limited to) the Indian Act, and all existing treaties within Canada, comprising Canadian Aboriginal law. It proposed to assimilate First Nations as an ethnic group equal to other Canadian citizens. The White Paper was met with widespread criticism and activism, causing the proposal to be officially withdrawn in 1970. The White Paper proposed legislation to eliminate Indian status. Indigenous people would be granted full rights as citizens instead of being regarded as wards of the state. First Nations Peoples would be incorporated fully into provincial government responsibilities as equal Canadian citizens, and reserve status would be removed; laws of private property would be imposed in Indigenous communities. Any special programs or considerations that had been allowed to First Nations people under previous legislation would be terminated. The Government believed that such special considerations acted to separate Indian peoples from other Canadian citizens." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1969_White_Paper Just imagine how things might be today if they didn't back down with this more sensible proposal.

1...Are they generous, please explain , perhaps provide some examples...Military has some very strict arcs of fire, in which they have to operate, Yes the generals and everyone in the military has their own agendas, how to improve their jobs and completion of tasks, and the lives of their subordinates...other than that they are controlled on what they can or can not do... 2....Very few of NATO Countries have the same abilities, but they all have one thing in common, the ability to conduct ground , air and Naval combat in high intensity environments...And although we do not have marine units, , our Infantry bns do exercise in amphibious landing with our naval forces...And yes the US does have a huge SAR force, Coast Guard, army, air force, and navy, along with many civilian organizations... 3.... Thats a myth, Our regular forces may exercise maybe twice a year due to lack of funds, fuel, ammo, and other support units maybe once a year if they are lucky....As for the trades being more specialized, thats what happens when you have a small military does not mean we are better just that our troops have a wider knowledge base....In the Canadian military a mechanic trains on specific veh types, each type requires a special course ie LAV, Leopard tank, wheeled vehs, etc... 4.... I think it is a little more than a division, US airborne forces are not conventional in any means... US army has always had a ground force in Alaska...Anyone operating in the artic has to have a high degree of winter warfare, that's what the specialize in ...Just because we have winter here in Canada not all troops are qualified for winter warfare... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Army_Alaska LAV does have "some" advantages over track...But nothing out performs a tracked veh in all environments, LAVs get stuck constantly in rough terrain or heavy mud...which tends to be where they operate the most.. 5...What RO -RO ships do we have....anything we do use is rented or contracted....and they do not do hostile areas . We have LAVs because they are much cheaper to operate, "That's our militaries theme, brought to you by the cheapest bidder"..........yes they provide superior operating parameters in built up areas..., but they are lightly armored, limited weapons, less survivability limited movement in mud, and extreme terrain. If you had seen the vehicle grave yard in Afghanistan i think you would change your mind about LAVS....ask the Russians what they think of their wheeled IFV...ask the Ukrainian what they think of their Bradly's... Canada does operate on the same battle field as the US, we use the same tactics, as the US for the most part on every operation we are part of a much larger US force...Our battle groups or Brigades are Light mechanized Infantry, and will be used like any US light mechanized unit... Our doctrine and roles are the same, as any matching NATO unit, which is why we are interoperable....Take our Battle group in Latvia, it comprises 6 or 7 different NATO units which make up the brigade everyone operates the same way...
