    This public message is aimed square at those directing the US and it’s own tone is pitched perfectly as that of an adult explaining difficult rules to a limited child incapable of real understanding. You can’t just take Jens’ toys Jimmy, you have toys of your own.

      Also to the rest of the world who seem to know just as little about the situation. USA can built any military base they want. Arguing that they need Greenland to do it, is BS when they already have had access to it since 1951

        Yes, but that assumes that a military presence for “security reasons” is genuinely what trump/putin wants here, and it wouldn’t surprise me at all if what they’re really after is access to the minerals underneath the ice sheet (estimated to contain up to 25% of the global reserves of rare earth minerals), just a soon as it melts, and trump is doing everything he can to make it melt more quickly. He’s also extremely anxious to get control of Ukraine’s minerals, so it would be consistent for him to be after them in Greenland too.

          Trump’s autobiography to be called ‘The new oil: how I took the rare out of rare earth minerals’.

      Let’s not fool ourselves that they need Greenland for protection. It is all about mineral resources and territory expansion.
