Trump is brilliant on Greenland

Friday, January 16, 2026

"The United States needs Greenland for the purpose of National Security. It is vital for the Golden Dome that we are building," President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social on Wednesday. Trump is right. Grab a globe and look down from the North Pole, or check out this official Pentagon map. You will see that Greenland is pivotal to the Arctic front. Greenland's eastern coast guards the Greenland-Iceland-United Kingdom or GIUK. This is the entry gate to the Atlantic for Russian President Vladimir Putin's nuclear-armed submarines. Greenland hosts important early warning radar sites because its field of view covers so much of the bomber and missile flight routes from Russia and China. No Greenland, no Golden Dome missile shield.

More Faux News garbage..... Greenland already does host US Defense systems and would be happy to host a whole lot more.

For some odd reason they just don't want to be invaded and captured by the American 4th Reich of Fascists.

- Trump is getting results.

Tanking in the polls in every possible category isn't really considered good results, Major B.

Neither is alienating long-time Allies all around the world. Or LYING with every word out of his mealy mouth.

Then there's bombing countries all around the world. How about the more than half a million children he's murdered so that he could have tax cuts for himself and his friends?

Yeah, he's getting results... all of them bad.

Re 3

GFY coward.

I am on America's side when America is in the right.

When America is in the wrong I have no problem telling her.

It's my duty as an American to do so.

It's not my duty to kiss anyone's lying hateful arse. Only cowards bend the knee to facists.

But, hey, you do you.

You appear to be very good at getting on your knees kissing that big old nasty Trumpy arse.

#3 What "results," Major DEI Boazo?

Terrorizing Americans?

We decided to patronize one of the many Latino restaurants in Richfield for lunch. On the way there, we ran straight into an ICE raid. Right in front of our eyes, a group of masked men grabbed someone off the platform of a major bus stop in the area. In broad daylight. In front of probably 50 people at the gas station and intersection right by the stop. Community members blew whistles, got out their phones and used their voices to both alert others to the danger and to call out what was happening.

Heck of a job you're doing there, Brownie.

That's like saying we took over Venezuela because of the fentanyl.

In Venezuela, the real reason is oil.

In Greenland, the real reason is minerals.

Trump just wanted to get the spotlight on Greenland. He succeeded.

You democrats wouldn't have done anything. And Russia and China would be getting closer and closer to taking over that part of the world.

Trump says US needs to 'own' Greenland to prevent Russia and China from taking it ...

"Countries have to have ownership and you defend ownership, you don't defend leases. And we'll have to defend Greenland," Trump told reporters on Friday, in response to a question from the BBC.

The US will do it "the easy way" or "the hard way", he added.

What is the "hard way" Bozo?

I'm going to be honest with you, boaz.
I respect you, and your service, and we've usually been kind to each other over the past two decades. Remember, I never attack your race, and it sickens me that others do.

So here goes: "Trump doesn't have any idea what he's doing".

I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.

The US, Russia, or China.

What are you going on about stupid.

Greenland is part of NATO and is protected by American and the European Union.

The only reason for any of the if because should Trump actually attack Greenland, NATO is done.

I wonder who would benefit from NATO falling apart.

Could it be Putin?

Boaz, you called Putin a "Savvy Genius" and you're right, he destroyed the American empire and all he had to do was support one fat orange pedophile.

Trump Knows EXACTLY what he's doing.

It's Obvious to Anyone Not in Denial.

He wants Control of the Western Hemisphere.

Regardless of, Legalities or Moral Considerations.

The End Goal is Dictatorship and Hegemonic Control of the Americas.

Including Greenland.

But it's just the First, most easily attainable Conquest.

The Low hanging Fruit, So to speak.

I don't agree.

He thinks like the Average American. And he does simple things that make sense.

If threatening Greenland gets him what he wants, I say so be it. It's just funny how liberals react to it.

Look, does Trump do somethings that make me cringe? Of course.

But he has done a lot of what he said he was going to do, and a lot of us who voted for him wanted those things to be done because progressives were not doing them.
