Hey, Private Boaz... here's what actually happened in Greenland:

"The European Parliament has suspended the approval of a key US trade deal agreed in July in protest against Donald Trump's demand to take over Greenland.

The suspension was announced in Strasbourg, France, on Wednesday, as the US president addressed the World Economic Forum in Davos.

The move followed renewed trade tensions between the US and Europe sparked by Trump's bid to acquire Greenland, which had rattled financial markets, reviving talk of a trade war and the possibility of retaliation against the US.

Hours later, Trump said on social media he had reached a "framework" deal on Greenland's future and would not carry out threats to put new tariffs on eight Nato members."

"The move renewed the possibility that the EU might move forward with tariffs on a possible 93bn ($109bn, 81bn) worth of American goods it announced last year in response to Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs.

It had put those plans on hold while the trade deal was being finalised but those levies would now come into force on 7 February unless the bloc moves to extend the pause or approves the new deal.

Lange, speaking before Trump announced the "framework deal" and backed off the tariff threat, said there would be "no possibility for compromise" until Trump's threats ended.

He also raised the prospect of the use of the "anti-coercion instrument" of retaliatory measures, nicknamed a "trade bazooka", an idea also backed by French President Emmanuel Macron."

But Trump and his partner (see post #1) will make money no matter how much the cost is... they'll just write off losses as ya do.

And the risk is at least as bad in Ukraine.
