The whole argument that the US needs to take Greenland to keep Russia or China from taking it is stupid in a world where NATO exists. Russia and China can't take Greenland without going to war with the US and Europe. If the US takes Greenland then all that's stopping Russia or China from taking it from the US is going to war with the US.
I hate how much trump lies about everything, but I REALLY hate how stupid he thinks everyone is. And I ESPECIALLY hate how he's right about how stupid most people are.
If his mouth is moving, he’s lying
Having already deprived Ukraine of U.S. support, Trump is now trying to divert the rest of NATO's military capabilities away from supporting Ukraine to make Putin's job easier.
Someone needs to tell him that Greenland is actually smaller than India and show him a map. I think he wants it just because it looks so big on a map.
I loved the daily show thing where he plays trump saying we dont want russia or china as neighbors then shows a map highlighting alaska and russia. I mean Im not sure but china I think is closer to alaska than greenland is to maine.
