    I doubt letting them have the place unmolested is in the cards for anyone important in Washington that isn't Trump himself. Taiwan is far, far too important to America's hegemony and ability to keep China in check, and if nothing else Trump hasn't been a big friend of China so far. I very strongly doubt he would sit there and take it, and if he wants to do there's a lot of people who couldn't care less about the rest of his antics but will light a fire under his ass for that one.

    The term for this is "invasion". You are advocating invading a foreign country.

    No Breccia this can't be an invasion. That would be something that war hawks would do....and I'm pretty sure SomewhatConcerned, TehDang, and Thesilentmajority have all been pretty adamant that it was Democrats who were the true war hawks. They would never lie to us (constantly) would they?

    If you want a comparison, think 1939 with Nazi Germany and Poland.

    That's what Trump's talking about. That's what everyone joshing around about this thinks is "funny". Haha, get wrecked Poland. Into the camps and ovens with a lot of your population. It's just so funny, isn't it?

    It's red meat for Trump's base. To make them go "WOO! YEAH! Trump is threatening PUSSY SOCIALIST CANADA and the DUMB LIBS are SO TRIGGERED!"

    Do they expect Trump to invade Canada? No. Do they want him to? They don't care. They want libs triggered and other "lesser" countries quaking in their boots to prove how strong Trump, and by extension, they, are.

    Get ready for four more years of this empty drek. Meanwhile Trump will be installing cronies and degrading rights and profiteering the whole way while the media discourse and his cackling muppet followers are wrapped up in the latest dumb nonsensical thing he said.

    Speaking as a Canadian, I'd be more than happy to remind Trump what happened the last time the yanks got grabby in our direction. Heck, the rest of the country would probably thank us. Burning the Whitehouse down again is probably going to be the only way to get Trump's stink out of it after 4 more years of his ass in the oval office. We'd be doing you a solid.

    I think it's based on a tiktok where some MAGA (aka crazy) Greenlander likes the idea.

    I'm not sure what world we are living in if buying countries is a thing in this day and age - by all means if Greenland wants to be a part of the US I'm fine with it, but actually putting a price on it is crazy.

    And the moron said at a press conference that he will bully Denmark with tariffs and maybe just take Greenland anyway.

    The US already have a big military base there, they don't need to own the land to do military stuff there.

    Our prime minister was way to diplomatic when asked about Trumps nonsene

    As a very close ally, I think there is reason to welcome the growing American interest. But it will have to be done in a way that is respectful to the Greenlandic people. We need to be able to cooperate in the way we usually do, for instance in the NATO context
    I bet if Trump sees this he will again call her a "very nasty woman".

    To be fair, one could probably find some Canadians that are in favor. I don't know any...but there are probably some.

    So, Trump wants to be starting trade wars with Canada, Mexico, the EU, and China and real wars with Denmark(invoking NATO) and Panama(proxy war with China).

    And Trump is the peace president that will lower prices? How?

    Fascist playbook 101.

    1. Latch onto real and exaggerated problems.
    2. Complain about some mysterious cabal of "them" making the country "weak".
    3. Get into power. Ignore everything you said before, start a war or two to "rally" the country.

    We are fucking retarded.
