I’m sure some political talk will be unavoidable but I’d like to keep this dry and to the point if we could.

      Well that backfired then because I had resigned myself to just white knuckling the next four years and focusing on what I can control and avoiding the news as much as I can.

      Yes I’m fully aware of that. I think you know what I was referring too. We all have our own opinions about trump. I just want to know the facts.

      It’s my first time in this group so I don’t know what kind of crowd this is but I know if I look it up myself the story is going to be slanted one way or another.

      I just want to know why taking Greenland, or Canada, or taking back the Panama canal is a thing I’m seeing at all on feed. Is this a real thing, a quote taken out of context, like what’s going on right now.

        He wants these regions for the future where the polar ice caps melt, as they canada, Greenland and Panama will be/are major shipping routes. He’s serious. You can’t take it out of context. He wants these areas for greed.

    Populists and consular republics are typically expansionist and autocratic. These are the WW3 aspirations leaking from a person unable to hold back such info even as nothing more than a front man. The solution to the climate problem is to not change the exploitation or 1%. The solution is to purge the population problem; us. This is why WW3 will happen before 2030. The boarders will be redrawn after.

    Trump said he’d take control of Panama and Greenland potentially including a military invasion, and said he’d buy Canada.

    Thats the short, out-of-the-loop, reason you’re hearing about it.

      Is there a reason why? It just feels really out of the blue and random? It’s just I don’t think I’ve ever heard him mention anything about Greenland before.

      Panama canal I could see some reasons, I don’t agree or like the idea, but I can at least see theres some history with that and America.

      Canada is attached to the us and we had a war or two before I guess

      Why greenland?

        The only potential reason I can see is that it could be strategicly useful as climate change makes the weather there more mild. Given that this is Trump, however, and Denmark (and thus Greenland) is currently an ally, it would make more sense that he read it Twitter or something and he repeated it.
