I take back everything I ever said about our Greenland adventure being a bad idea.
Bring me back all-you-can-eat shrimp at Red Lobster and you can take whichever ally's country you'd like!
From the article:
Is this supposed to be a bad thing??
Greenland is the world's largest island (sorry, Australia) and is packed with resources.
Oh, and it sits in a strategically vital spot where China and Russia are already playing Arctic HOA games.
This is likely why Tom Dans, Chair of the US Arctic Research Commission, made the hilarious comment.
But The New Yorker is taking this very seriously. From their article:
Even before Trump retook office, he had made clear his intent to annex Greenland. But, from the moment that he was sworn in, his fantasies and provocations became American foreign policy. 'One way or another, we're gonna get it,' he told a joint session of Congress. So five per cent of Nuuk's residents stood before the consulate, beating traditional drums and chanting their country's Inuit name: Kalaallit Nunaat. 'Enough is enough,' they shouted. But no one from the State Department drew the blinds. It wasn't clear that anyone was even there.
Viva la Greenland!
The article breathlessly details how four whole guys dared to take Trump's comments seriously.
The piece also admits Greenland is geographically part of North America, has a tiny population, sits on massive strategic real estate, and that previous admins were already twitchy about Chinese "scientific" missions and runway offers.
But sure, Trump noticing this is the unhinged part.
Don't forget, the Left spent years screeching that Trump was Putin's puppet for wanting better relations with Russia, then lost their minds when he talked tough on actual rivals. Now he's eyeing territory to counter actual expansionism in our hemisphere and they're writing elegies for the "rules-based international order."
But hey, if I can get all-you-can-eat shrimp back at Red Lobster, and also avoid the, uhh ... crowd — well I'd be the happiest American in the world.
Of course, I'd be living in the 51st state of Greenland — the fresher those shrimp, the better!
