"President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday wouldn't rule out exercising military or economic coercion to further his goal of bringing both Greenland and the Panama Canal under U.S. control, as his son, Donald Trump Jr., is in Greenland amid Trump's push to acquire the autonomous territory of Denmark."

is a complete idiot.  Much of this is a distraction from stealing our tax payer money to line his pockets. What a fucking moron.  The filthy maga traitor cult of delusional fucking idiots will all be on board - with a military take over of one of our ALLIES.  No doubt citing some delusional idiocy in defense of the indefensible.

Here's some of what The Times wrote:

When Putin invaded Ukraine, Trump described the move as "brilliant". Now, it's becoming quite clear that Trump wants to mimic his idol and invade/dominate/overtake the countries surrounding the U.S., regardless of their sovereignty.  Trump is just as much of a tyrant as Putin, which is why Trump will never utter a bad word about him.

The reason is simple. Both are of strategic importance to US national security. The same is true for Greenland. If you want the US to have greater deterrence of Russia, then it makes sense for the US to buy it.

For strategic advantage and national security. Filthy dumb idiot traitor CONVICTED FELON CRIMINAL trump is talking about taking Greenland by force now.  

China has too much influence over the Panama Canal, so we ought to do something about that too. It’s amazing what the USA can do when we’re not being run by corrupt psychos who try to bleed the country dry to line their pocketbooks.

I thought he (and Don) were against foreign wars.
But now he wants us to resort to force in Panama if it comes to it.
For what?

Are you wearing the traitor trump sneakers?  Playing with his children's trading cards? Reading the traitors bible? Wearing the losers watch?  Did you know Saudi Arabia booked entire floors of the traitors hotels without anyone even staying there.  For months on end.  To funnel money to the traitor.  In violation of the Emoluments clause.  HOW FUCKING DUMB ARE YOU?

move on this unless the citizens of Greenland wanted it to happen, and Denmark reneged on letting them go independent to do what the people want.

It's not going to happen. It's the 2025 version of "Mexico is going to pay for the wall" LIE to distract from the incompetence and criminality of the filthy maga traitor cunt criminal cult.

…is to make yourself so powerful that it’s impossible to fight you.

Is to keep a stable economy and not threaten allies.  Filthy maga criminal convict traitor trump isn't even in office yet and the traitor is threatening allies and tariffs that will destabilize the economy.  The filthy maga traitor hoard of delusional sycophants have their heads so far up the convicted criminal felon's ass, they can't even see straight.  

"You have millions of gallons of water pouring down from the north, with the snow caps and Canada, and all pouring down.  And they have, essentially, a very large faucet, and you turn the faucet, and it takes one day to turn, and it’s massive … and you turn that, and all of that water goes aimlessly into the Pacific.  And if you turned it back, all of that water would come right down here and right into Los Angeles."

"High-profile political pundits close to Russian President Vladimir Putin have already voiced their support for Trump’s re-stated ambition to buy Greenland and expand U.S. territory to include the resource-rich island — commenting that such a move would validate every other country’s expansionist territorial ambitions, and most importantly, Russia’s" - Holly Ellyatt, CNBC reporter.

Do you honestly believe that advocates for Greenland's complete independence from Denmark would turn right around and willingly become subjects of the U.S. government? They want to stand entirely on their own.

Those two states became part of the US for reasons that have little to do with "US national security."
Alaska was purchased from Russia in 1867 because the Tsar needed the money. Even though it was cheap even by standards of the day, most thought Alaska was so useless it was dubbed "Seward's Folly." Seward was US Sec. of State at the time. National security had nothing to do with it.
Hawaii was annexed by the US in 1898 as part of this country's spree of colonialism including the Spanish-American War of the same year. But one of the main motivations wasn't "national security," it was to protect the wealth of American planters like the Dole family.  The US also wanted to compete with other colonial powers by grabbing an empire from Spain and flexing its might on the world stage. And Hawaii was a convenient coaling stop on the way to The Philippines. But hardly necessary for "national security."
Anyway, neither Hawaii nor Alaska was seized from an ally by force.
PS: "WE" did dig the original Panama Canal but we had nothing to do with building the most important part of it; the new, widened "Panamax" canal that can handle the far larger container ships and cruise liners. It was paid for entirely by Panama. The old canal is still used for smaller ships. I know because I transited the canal in 2023.
So sorry to confuse Wanker with the facts.

We also acquired Cuba and The Philippines, and yet they never became states. The reasons why Hawaii and Alaska did become states, but Cuba and The Philippines didn’t are complex and varied, but national security was one of those considerations.

was his original statement so simplistic and incorrect?

to become a US citizen if you do it the right way.  Becoming an instant US citizen by becoming a US possession has a lot of benefits they can't get from being Danish or independent.  Citizens of US possessions do not usually get full Citizenship, but are referred to as US Nationals.  There is a fast track to US Citizenship.  However, many Constitutional rights and protections extend to citizens of US possessions.  For instance Puerto Rico is different than American Samoa, which is different that Guam, so you can predict what the final deal will be, but the Greenland residents will negotiate that with Trump and then vote on whether to go forward or not.  Currently, polls show 70% of Greenland's citizens would vote to join the US.  

70% of Greenland residents would vote to join the US, but it's subject to whatever terms are negotiated by Trump and the leaders of Greenland.

CDL is full of gibberish and nonsense. What a dumb filthy maga lying cunt

It's NOT going to happen.  It's a fantasy of dumb filthy maga traitor cunts.  Fuck you people are stupid.

that's why it seems so foreign to Democrats who traditionally think SMALL.  It's not your fault that you don't see the advantages of pursuing this, you were brainwashed at an early age.  When you have a lifetime of people telling you to stay in your lane, it becomes nearly impossible to consider things that may defy so-called conventional (and boring) wisdom.

BAHAHAHAAA!!!  Ok dirty filthy maga traitor cunt. "Staying in my lane" by building a multi-million dollar business. Ok. What a fucking ignorant moron.  What this demonstrates is that fascist douche boi donny the convicted felon traitor is trying to emulate war criminal putin by colonial expansionism. You dumb fuck.  

of you building a multi-million dollar business.  Just don't build a multi-billion dollar business.  There is a limit to how much eliteness they will allow someone to have who is NOT a denizen of Washington.  They like you only for your willingness to pay high taxes and support DEI, but they will never consider you an "insider" or part of the "club."

Oh gawd - what the fuck are you talking about?  denizen of Washington?  I could fucking care less.  I travel, play golf, fuck a LOT of girls and work hard to do it.  Guess what CUCK DOUCHE LIAR - I'm considered 'elite'.  I'll grow my business as large as I fucking want.  No one in 'Washington' is going to have any say about it.  The dumb fucking idiocy you spew would have people (falsely) believe that REPUBLICANS can't become elite super wealthy business people.  HOW FUCKING DUMB ARE YOU?  I know LOTS of very wealthy, ELITE Republicans.  Fuck you're dumb. Trying to act like an 'intellectual'.  FYI: You're NOT.  You're just CUCK DOUCHE LIAR. We all know.  

I found two references to recent Greenlandic polls in the wiki article "Greenlandic Independence". . .

- quote -

a two-step process.  If Greenland goes from Danish to American all at once, Denmark is going to end up with a pile of money.  If Greenland gets its independence first, any financial benefits that go with becoming a US possession would accrue to the Greenlanders (or is that "Greenlandians" . . . . or, "Greenies"   Lol)

It's never going to happen.  The delusional magamoron stupidity is comical. And again, a diversion away from the criminal traitor convicted felon from stealing YOUR TAX DOLLARS. Dumb CUCK DOUCHE LOSER

very tightly wound tonight.  Everything okay, or are these kinds of meltdowns the norm for you?  

Speaking hard honest truths to dumb filthy maga traitor cunts isn't a 'melt down'.  How many times do I have to tell you fucking dumb losers, CUCK DOUCHE LOSER?  

"Trump's proposal is to let the People of Greenland decide" - and in true MAGA fashion, if the people of Greenland reject Trump it will be due to a stolen election. "If we win, it's fair. If we lose, it's stolen." - MAGA Mantra

I take it you didn't answer my question about the source of the "70% poll", because you didn't have a credible source. Here is a relevant article from a reputable source . . .

"We fully recognise that Greenland has its own ambitions. If they materialise, Greenland will become independent, though hardly with an ambition to become a federal state in the United States," Danish foreign minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said.

because I'm a business owner, so for me, "it's the economy, stupid."   But in order to have a roaring economy, most other issues have to be approached conservatively as well.
