Independents seem to be leaning more towards Republicans than Democrats on this topic, according to the poll.

Apparently piggy is asking the Danes to support action in Iran

Soooo. Ahhh yeah

I somehow doubt that Iran has neglected to make sure that if they are attacked we will feel the response not only abroad, but at home.

The IRGC won't be amused, and their terror cells here are for real.

But hey, an EPSTEIN DISTRACTION by any other name smells like DJT.

@#2 ... Apparently piggy is asking the Danes to support action in Iran ...

Pres Trump is saying, ~support my attack on Iran, or I'll take Greenland from you?~

Gee, that sound so unlike Pres Trump.

I'm tired of seeing Americans dying needlessly just to fuel some guys need to appear strong. We don't need another senseless war.

@#5 ... just to fuel some guys need to appear strong ...

Feel strong, or just feed more money towards the billionaires that seem tohave purchased his actions?

How many strikes have there been announced by the Trump admin against drug-running boats this past week?

Were those strikes just a diversion leading up to Pres Trump's colonization of Venezuela for the benefit of wealthy Big Oil execs?

Until it's a true "all hands on deck".
It's just someone's wet dream.

"75% of Americans oppose US attempting to take control of Greenland, CNN poll finds"

That's higher than it ought to be. That's roughly half of Republicans, no Democrats, and a smidge of the other ~35% who don't vote.

Could we get a Republican to explain why they support "Occupy Greenland?"

We should start getting used to calling it, "Goldland". Or perhaps, "Trumplandia".

To be fair, when DJT, Vlad, and Xi divvied up the world, we did get Greenland (and Iceland, btw) and most of Central and South America. And Mexico and Canada, too!

Prolly, Israel, too, but that's a bum deal

Vlad got Europe plus Iran and Turkey, Xi all of Asia, India, and the Pacific (Aloha, Hawaii!).

As I understand it, Africa is up for grabs still.
