      I highly doubt the idea for invading Greenland comes from him, but rather the people manipulating him who would perhaps benefit from the instability caused by a war between the US and EU.

          This doesn’t pass my smell test.

          Sources who spoke to Reuters requested anonymity to discuss private conversations.

          The vision for Greenland, one of the people said, could include a hub for artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, space launches, micro nuclear reactors and high-speed rail.

        Undoubtedly.

        The US Government’s posturing, diplomatic and otherwise, for rights in the the Arctic and northern territories has been happening at least since the Obama administration. It’s a recognition that climate change is going to make it feasible to mine and drill in these places that were previously inaccessible.

      Trump absolutely loathes NATO and Europe in general. I guarantee they’re war gaming all the scenarios right now. I have little faith in Europe as they can’t even fucking get it together enough to stomp out an imperial march on their borders from a much weaker foe.

      The entire point of this is to break up NATO and start a two front war against Europe by both the US and Russia. Didn’t you get the memo?

    There are more than a thousand US military facilities all over europe, in greenland too, no politician in charge ever said shit about it. These military exercises sound like yet another gift to the war industry and to rulers, who through fear and manipulation keep empowering themself.

      I can recommend a Belle of the Ranch video explaining how the EU is looking at possibly raising an EU army of 100,000. Coincidentally the number of US troops stationed in the EU is about 100,000.
