Trump's US Threat to Greenland (which belongs to Denmark)

Andy_Ross said:
Rep. Ogles: "It's important that we have a stake in Greenland, that they are quite frankly a protectorate of the US. They've been in relationship with Denmark -- that needs to end. We have spilled more blood protecting Greenland than the Danes ... we are the dominant predator force in the Western Hemisphere"

Because in Trumpworld, being a predator is of course a virtue.

The Constitution is crystal clear on the notion that warmaking is a responsibility jointly and severally exercised by both the President and the Congress. Either Congress and the President are in accord about what kind of warfare is going to occur, or else Speaker Johnson had better exercise his obligation under the Constitution to pit his House against the White House.

But it's not a war, it's a special military operation!

That appears to be false. Article 1 of the 2004 amendment to the 1951 Defense Agreement between the U.S. and Denmark states:

Thule Air Base [now Pituffik Space Base] is the only defense area in Greenland. The provisions of Article II of the [1951] Defense Agreement shall apply to the establishment of new defense areas.​

In turn, Article II of the 1951 Defense Agreement states that the U.S. and Denmark must agree on the establishment of any new defense area:

In order that the Government of the United States of America as a party to the North Atlantic Treaty may assist the Government of the Kingdom of Denmark by establishing and/or operating such defense areas as the two Governments, on the basis of NATO defense plans, may from time to time agree to be necessary for the development of the defense of Greenland and the rest of the North Atlantic Treaty area, and which the Government of the Kingdom of Denmark is unable to establish and operate singlehanded, the two Governments in respect of the defense areas thus selected, agree to the following...​

Saying the quiet part out loud
 
WTF does Trump WANT with Greenland in the first place? Minerals? Pretty tough place to extract them from. If it was easy, someone would be doing it and I'm sure Denmark would happily contract with US companies for the privilege.
Defence? We've had full access for many decades.
Maybe it can be the new agricultural paradise!

He wants it, so it's his.
 
Are you sure? There will be actual soldiers there, not destitute Romanian girls.

Reporter: There are treaties that give the US access to construct and maintain military bases there. What specifically would the US gain by taking control of Greenland that the US doesn't already have access to now?

Leavitt: Um… more control over the arctic region

Has Greenland drifted north into the Arctic Circle unnoticed in the past few weeks? That IS a surprise nobody saw! :sarcasm:

You stupid twat, Leavitt.
