Coincidence?

While it is unclear how far the president will push the idea, U.S. officials view Greenland as important to American national-security interests. A decades-old defense treaty between Denmark and the U.S. gives the U.S. military virtually unlimited rights in Greenland at America’s northernmost base, Thule Air Base. Located 750 miles north of the Arctic Circle, it includes a radar station that is part of a U.S. ballistic missile early warning system. The base is also used by the U.S. Air Force Space Command and the North American Aerospace Defense Command.

The U.S. has sought to derail Chinese efforts to gain an economic foothold in Greenland. The Pentagon worked successfully in 2018 to block China from financing three airports on the island.

With global warming can we turn it in a large orange grove? 

Dale Gribble:
[regarding global warming] I say let the world warm up, see what Boutros Boutros-Ghali-Ghali thinks about that! We'll grow oranges in Alaska.

Hank Hill:
Dale, you giblet-head, we live in Texas. It's already a hundred and ten in the summer, and if it gets one degree hotter, I'm gonna kick your ass!

I don't want to CR. Safe to say I'm not a fan of certain people. But this is an idea I can get behind. Maybe we could put a Spirit hub there and I could catch a flight from DTW to GLD for $112 r/t like I can to Tampa.

Doesn't that make it easier?

I was thinking that once Trump takes a big chunk of land for himself and some more for his friends (and there’s not much land that’s not constantly covered by ice), then the locals will get kind of restless.

Too bad they don't have oil and brown people.  Then we could invade and dispense with the pleasantries.

 

Where do you think we're planning on putting the brown people?

It could be the largest detention/catch and release center yet, but definitely a place for people legitimately seeking asylum from violence in their home country with zero expectations of welfare and free stuff. Here’s a parka, go and be happy! [kinda serious/no CR]

You know, I have a feeling that this would be one of those "daned if you do, daned if you don't" kinda deals.

 

 

See....I said "daned if you do, daned if you don't."

 

Is this thing on?

You know this idiot views this as a real estate deal that's right in his wheelhouse. When that fails, his ego will make him invade.

Don't worry.  It's a Trump real estate deal.  We'll finance it in part with laundered Russian money, still fail to make all of the required payments, and Denmark will repossess it.

I just hope their repo crew shows up in longboats with war drums and shit, because that would be awesome.
