The Monroe Doctrine is a U.S. foreign policy that opposes any foreign interference in the Western Hemisphere. Trump, although terrible at explanation, is correct in stating that Greenland is strategic and likely soon Russia will be testing the northern defense. No question China has designs on an arctic 'silk road'.

robosmith Posted January 16 Author Report Posted January 16 1 hour ago, paxamericana said: America is NATO. No, it's not. All the member countries comprise NATO. Denmark even fought for/with us in Afghanistan. Quote Yes, Denmark fought alongside the U.S. and NATO in Afghanistan following the 9/11 attacks, contributing significant troops and suffering high casualties, with 44 Danish soldiers killed in action—the highest per capita rate among coalition partners besides the U.S.. Denmark deployed forces to the challenging Helmand province and was a steadfast ally in the long-running conflict, highlighting a strong military partnership that included deployments to Iraq and other operations.

Make no mistake, NATO was formed as a bulwark against the Warsaw Pact. Those days are long gone. Quote

Now you balk when I ask you to provide the exact quote. You are a joke. Go cry some more about how I won’t engage when I’m sitting here trying to. No. YOU are the liar I asked you to answer 2 questions which you continue to avoid like a chickeshit little biotch. ONE MORE TIME 1) YES OR NO - DO YOU BELIEVE TRUMP MIGHT FORCEFULLY ANNEX GREENLAND FROM DENMARK, A NATO ALLY, AGAINST ITS WILL 2) YES OR NO - WOULD YOU SUPPORT IT IF HE DID You’re such a devoted little Trump cultist you know annexing Greenland is morally and legally indefensible but you know it’s something Trump might do and you’re araif of accidentally being offside with youe cult leader. Meanwhile Trump is now threatening any country who opposes his annexation Trump threatens tariffs on countries opposed to his Greenland annexation plan U.S. President Donald Trumpsuggested Friday that he may punish countries with tariffs if they don’t back the U.S. controlling Greenland, a message that came as a bipartisan Congressional delegation sought to lower tensions in the Danish capital. Trump for months has insisted that the U.S. should control Greenland, a semi-autonomous territory of NATO ally Denmark, and said earlier this week that anything less than the Arctic island being in U.S. hands would be “unacceptable.” During an unrelated event at the White House about rural health care, he recounted Friday how he had threatened European allies with tariffs on pharmaceuticals. “I may do that for Greenland too,” Trump said. “I may put a tariff on countries if they don’t go along with Greenland, because we need Greenland for national security. So I may do that,” he said. … Trump has sought to justify his calls for a U.S. takeover by repeatedly claiming that China and Russia have their own designs on Greenland, which holds vast untapped reserves of critical minerals. The White House hasn’t ruled out taking the territory by force. “We have heard so many lies, to be honest and so much exaggeration on the threats towards Greenland,” said Aaja Chemnitz, a Greenlandic politician and member of the Danish parliament who took part in Friday’s meetings. “And mostly, I would say the threats that we’re seeing right now is from the U.S. side.” Murkowski emphasized the role of Congress in spending and in conveying messages from constituents. “I think it is important to underscore that when you ask the American people whether or not they think it is a good idea for the United States to acquire Greenland, the vast majority, some 75 per cent, will say, we do not think that that is a good idea,” she said. Along with Senator Jeanne Shaheen, a New Hampshire Democrat, Murkowski has introduced bipartisan legislation that would prohibit the use of U.S. Defense or State department funds to annex or take control of Greenland or the sovereign territory of any NATO member state without that ally’s consent or authorization from the North Atlantic Council. Inuit council criticizes White House statements The dispute is looming large in the lives of Greenlanders. Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen said on Tuesday that “if we have to choose between the United States and Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark. We choose NATO. We choose the Kingdom of Denmark. We choose the EU.” The chair of the Nuuk, Greenland-based Inuit Circumpolar Council, which represents around 180,000 Inuit from Alaska, Canada, Greenland, and Russia’s Chukotka region on international issues, said persistent statements from the White House that the U.S. must own Greenland offer “a clear picture of how the US administration views the people of Greenland, how the U.S. administration views Indigenous peoples, and peoples that are few in numbers.” Sara Olsvig told the Associated Press in Nuuk that the issue is “how one of the biggest powers in the world views other peoples that are less powerful than them. And that really is concerning.” Indigenous Inuit in Greenland do not want to be colonized again, she said. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/world/article-denmark-greenland-trump-takeover-threats/ 1 Quote

SpankyMcFarland Posted January 17 Report Posted January 17 (edited) The notion that America won’t need allies against a rising China is preposterous. Every scintilla of military, technological, economic and scientific support will be precious in that struggle. I fear the West will lose eventually but let’s not make the PRC’s task a whole lot easier by fighting among ourselves. Edited January 17 by SpankyMcFarland 1 Quote ‘How small we make our worlds.

herbie Posted January 17 Report Posted January 17 The Idjut Prez has announced tariffs on EU countries that don't support a US takeover of Greenland. He has. Not the American people, not the American govt, HE has. Just his say so - is threatening to TAKE part of a NATO ally's country - has murdered people on the high seas - is pirating ships in international waters - Is sending his Gestapo to arrest not ctiminals and murderers but your house cleaner, your gardener, the waitress, shoppers and your customers - sent troops to suppress legitimate protest labelled them terrorists - pardoned major drug dealers and every fraud artist and conman he can - threatens your elected representatives with criminal investigations if he doesn't like their face - threatened every major media with lawsuits and financial hold ups - backed down to Russia every chance he gets - raised the cost of goods with his self proclaimed tariffs and threatens more - gutted consumer and every environmental standard he can - has pi*sed off every military ally the US has ALL BY HIS LITTLE SELF Well, EU think about Canada's response, tell him to f*ck right off, we're done with him. Re-engage with the USA when it comes back to it's senses. The World doesn't need HIM, the USA needs regime change. 1 Quote
