Greenland

I mean, he's just spouting bollocks. This is the entire depth & subtlety of his thinking. He's like a five-year-old who's made his mind up he wants a toy he's been told by his parents he can't have, and he's just coming up with the reasoning of a five-year-old.

"No, Donald, you can't have that, and stop being so silly. If you carry on, we'll take your phone away for a week, and you'll be grounded."

The problem is that there are no adults left in his circle who will tell him.

Further highlighting his naivety as were China, Russia or US to invade Greenland it wouldn't be up to Denmark to do anything about it, it would be up to NATO (incl. the US) to act to defend it.

BTW, the 'Canadia' was on purpose, as I always find it amusing why we insert the extra letter 'i' into certain nationalities:

Panamanian, Canadian, Argentinian, etc.

but not others

Angolan, Botswanan, Costa Rican, etc.

I saw a Canadian comedy sketch a while back where it was said by a couple of hillbilly types, so I think of it almost as being the Candian equivalent of a redneck thing.

I stand to be corrected on the context though.

How very dare you!! - I think this is the only thread I've ever started on the NCAP bit of the forum, hrrrumph!! 😆

I shall now go back and read the entire thread!

I agree it's possible. Also possible it jyst feeds his narcissism as other NATO leaders rush around trying to make him happy whilst the rest of the world just talks about Trũmp.

But he's still got to find an "exit" when he doesn't get Greenland. After all he's said he'll look even more of a fool when Greenland outsmart his explicit requirements of ownership. So he'll meed some sort of reason for US ownership no longer being so crucial.

"Control" may end up being military control.

And perhaps before a forcible land grab we will get tarrifs and sanctions against Denmark, the EU, Danish officials, that sort of thing.

The Red Green show. It is either desperately obvious and unfunny, or brilliantly subtle.

Given most Canadians need a notepad and pen and 15 minutes in a quiet room to figure out sarcasm, I'm going for unfunny.

I haven't read the entire thread (apologies), have we considered that possibility that Greenland is a handy distraction tactic to focus EU/Nato away from Ukraine?

And Epstein (lest we forget him)

I read today the suggestion that they have no intention of invading Greenland, but by ordering the generals to draw up plans for an invasion they'll be able to identify and remove those members of high brass who will disobey an illegal order.
