Well yes and because it is loosely administered by Denmark it should already be protected by NATO. However we are entering uncharted waters here. The US president, head of the most powerful NATO country is basically threatening another NATO member and stating he wants Greenland for America's 'national security' My translation of that statement is that it is all about the vast mineral wealth in Greenland which Donny covets, and has, in fact very little to do with national security.If Greenland is a NATO territory then surely it would be protected from Russia and China?
What the hell makes him think he can just go around taking someone else's land just because he wants it?Greenland.
He had a 'fiery' discussion with the Danish PM.

Of course. Nice little earners under the ice that's melting.What the hell makes him think he can just go around taking someone else's land just because he wants it?
It's the oil and mineral deposits he's after just as much as the security aspect.

He certainly wouldn't care about the Greenlanders if he took their country by force.Trump won’t be caring or even thinking about it but if he invades Greenland then it’s open season for every country with designs on its little neighbour.
Better send those proposed French and British peacekeepers that were suggested for Ukraine to Greenland for a bit of practice.Well yes and because it is loosely administered by Denmark it should already be protected by NATO.

Of course he can take Greenland. Easily. Unlike other presidents he is not restrained by the norms that have been established since WW2.Why is it a nut job like Trump can be allowed be president?
Are there no independent psychiatric assessments required ?
The guy is batshit psycho....the idea he believes he can take Greenland and gets stroppy with the prime minister of Denmark because she doesn't cow tow to his demands?
I'm beginning to think nobody ever said no to Trump in his entire life. Spoiled asshole brat with not a single grey cell in his peasized brain.
Huh, what happened before WW2?Of course he can take Greenland. Easily. Unlike other presidents he is not restrained by the norms that have been established since WW2.
Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) proposed an amendment Thursday that would allow presidents three terms in office — as long as they did not serve two consecutive four-year stints.
That would allow a third term for Trump — whose two were interrupted by Joe Biden — but not for Obama, Clinton or George W. Bush, who each served two consecutive terms.
It probably doesn't stand a prayer of passing, but it will flush out any R Representatives who aren't believers in the true faith, and it does move the Overton window somewhat.“No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than three times, nor be elected to any additional term after being elected to two consecutive terms, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice,” the amendment would say.
Would need democrats to get to two thirds so no chance fortunatly.And while we're on the Constitution, how about letting Trump have a third term? According to New York Post (where you'll find all kinds of GOP overexcitement):
It probably doesn't stand a prayer of passing, but it will flush out any R Representatives who aren't believers in the true faith, and it does move the Overton window somewhat.
Us would twiddle its thumbs til one it ships got sunkHuh, what happened before WW2?
Only been in a few days , and feels like that clock with. seconds to midnight has started ticking againRepublican Senators ducked answering questions about Donald Trump’s claim that Ukraine should have surrendered to Russia and his attempt to blame the bloody conflict on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
The president spoke to Fox News host Sean Hannity this week and blamed Zelensky’s failure to preemptively capitulate to Russia invading Ukraine, even though Russian forces have occupied parts of the country since 2014
