They were our fucking ally. We already have military bases there. We already would have been part of the defense if Russia or China invaded. It’s amazing how little this guy understands.
It’s not that. They want fortress America and they want it yesterday. Next will be Canada then Mexico and Central America but my guess is they’ll be happy with Canada and Greenland at least for a while
"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.
We will do it "the easy way" or "the hard way", he added.
So the US has to own a place before they defend it?
So why do they have military bases all over our countries then, if they won’t defend them without ownership?
Is the plan to have us attacked and then demand that we hand over all out land before they’ll defend us from an invasion - therefore invading us themselves?

imo it's faulty to assume he believes what he says anyway. Assume malice until proven otherwise at this point.

It’s almost as if Donald Trump has no idea what an ally is or that NATO exists.
There’s lots of things he has no idea about. Laws, the Constitution, basic human decency, compassion.

What the fuck?
I need to steal my neighbor’s Corvette before someone else steals it.. they can do this the easy way or the hard way!
::sigh::
Greenland never was not more free "for the taking" than, e.g., The tRump Tower, Mar-A-Lago or Epstein's island
What he actually means is he wants Greenland to protect against Europe because he has no intentions of staying in NATO.
It's ironic that the Arctic Passage that is now opening up for China and Russia was caused by climate change which MAGA says is bullshit.
If only there was a treaty organization of countries near the upper part of the Atlantic Ocean that helps prevent that...
