Maybe explaining what had happened and deleting the misplaced post would have been a good idea.

Yes as said wrong thread, don't worry about it.

Maybe, but then you wouldn't be commenting on it so I have made the right choice and leaving it put.

Unless you know of any lesbians in Greenland have you got any relevant input to this thread?

Assuming that the intelligence gathering done on Greenland is a 24/7, there are likely only about 50 on duty at any one time.
I wonder how many (if any) have Arctic training. They will be mainly EW operators who generally don’t do much infantry training after basic. Although they will have to keep their weapons training up twice a year.

America has bought territory from Denmark and others in the past, long before NATO existed. Trump is picking up where America left off before the world wars. He is restoring his country whilst our politicians give ours away.

Yes they bought Louisiana off of Napoleon Back
In the day

he was short of a few Bob to fund his military ambitions

Virgin island off of Denmark

Alaska from the czar

The word bought needs to be noted

Trump is threatening to go some what further and is threatening any one who voices concerns

He is bang out of order

You obviously don't care as the term 'Eskimo' is an outsider term, and considered offensive...

The people in Greenland are mainly Inuit.

Did you also not care about the 1,820 Falkland Islanders in 1982?

As to your comment about eskimos

nonsense

Falklands we’re a different scenario that was UK territory invaded by a military junta

As for Greenland I stated trump is out of order but hey ho

And like you really care hmmm do you ?

In the Times, they are reporting that one of Trump's advisers deliberately misled him about the purpose of the NATO reconnaissance visit to Greenland last week. The aim of the visit was to show Trump that NATO was serious about boosting the defence of the Arctic. But Trump was told that it was about NATO putting troops there to counteract him. When the adviser briefed him - Vance would be my guess - he went nuts and ordered the tariffs.

Another European diplomat said: “It seems to be a common understanding [that Trump got the wrong end of the stick], but it remains open whether Trump would have understood it the right way anyway. The Nato channels among military professionals are much calmer and more professional. But as soon as you get to the social media level, things get mixed up; many Europeans are not that social media-aware.”

At 11.19am Trump decided to take revenge and in a post on Truth Social declared that the US would charge a 10 per cent import tax starting in February on goods from the countries participating in the European scoping mission.

The rate would climb to 25 per cent on June 1 if no deal was agreed for “the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland” by the United States.

One UK government insider said: “The problem is we can’t control what is being broadcast on US networks and what is being whispered into the ear of the president.”
