    In don’t think any political analyst ever thought Greenland would be in question.

    These are truly shocking times no matter how anyone saw it coming.

      Venezuela is Sudetenland. Greenland is Danzig and the Polish corridor. Canada is the Elzas and France.

        Venezuela is the Caucuses oil fields, which Hitler should have taken right off before starting a Western front. That lesson is not lost on these modern fascists.

        Sharp call on the Polish corridor! As the Arctic warms there will be year-round shipping lanes.

        Not ready for Canada yet, but it’s coming.

        Scariest part? The fascists are on the clock to achieve their goals before the cult leader’s dementia takes him off camera. They’re already struggling with unavoidable appearances, like Trump’s disastrous meeting with the Prime Minister of Japan. For now, they can hide him on his bad days.

      Greenland is of vast strategic importance as global warming rolls on. You can bet plenty of people saw that fact, just not us little people.

        Not really a fixation that’s too strong of a word.

        Besides Denmark let’s US do whatever they want there , always have.

        In the context of Arctic defense, the GIUK gap and Thule airbase, sure. Those were considered strategically important things during the Cold War, and rightly so.

        But “it looks big on the map and it’s closer to me than to you and I want it and I have more guns so give it to me now” is just Trump.
