Donald Trump’s desire to annex Greenland will not be thwarted and there could be meaningful U.S. action related to the Arctic island within “weeks or months,” according to a senior administration official.

That’s the view of Thomas Dans, Trump’s Arctic commissioner. He’s regarded as one of the main proponents of the president’s interest in Greenland, an idea first brought to Trump by billionaire and former diplomat Ronald Lauder.

Dans has been working on the issue since 2020.

    How many fronts do these idiots think we can fight? We’re going to have military in Venezuela, now Greenland, eventually Colombia, Mexico, Iran, maybe Canada, perhaps Taiwan, and every city in America, and plenty more, when he thinks of them. We have a big military, but it’s not that big.

      3 fronts:

      • using Greenland to enforce annexation of Canada
      • Civil War 2: confederate reverse-takeover & vengeance
      • southward, on everyone, Mexico, Panama, Venezuela, the Carribean, Colombia, etc.

      Everywhere else’ll simply cease to be relevant, in the Americas.

      Asia gets abandoned, so China begins conquering it.

      EU, abandoned, gets rampaged by “Russia”, which will be Putin’s pretence but China supplanting Russia within, to provide the economic engine for Putin’s war, but he’ll have to scrounge lives for his imperial meat-grinder from wherever he can get them.

      It converts the entire world into regional-consolidation, aka Conquering: everybody not even bothering with other-regions.

      Once this stage of WW3 is done, then the regions deathmatch, beginning next-decade.

      That war-of-attrition goes on for decades.

      The Great Filter.

      Toddler-meaning, backed with the whole planet’s militaries.

      Tantrum/pogrom until it breaks the world, to “MAKE GOD OBEY!!”

      Why should it be surprising, given “politics”?
