    Question: Was the damage done to America's reputation remotely worth the "payoff"?

    LOL that is basically what the USA already has. I’m guessing that the military told him they were not going to war with EUROPE, so he had to go away with his tail between his legs. This guy is losing on just about everything.

    No, but it kept the Epstein Files and bad economic news out of the headlines. I’m sure Trump will return to Greenland, Cuba and Canada as soon as he is facing heat over protecting men that **** children.

    Thats literally the deal we have right now with Denmark. Were allowed to deploy as many troops and build as many bases as we want on the island. How are you so stupid Jesus christ

    That’s a trick question.

    The payoff was negative value.

    Agreement with who? Denmark nor Greenland was there at the negotiating table. Now if you are talking about the established NATO framework already agreed upon in the 1950s then sure :rolleyes:

    Did you even know that the agreement we already had with Denmark from the 50’s that never went away actually was better than this? At one point the US had SEVENTEEN bases.

    Either you don’t know what you are talking about or your nose is so far up trumps butt you can’t tell up from down.

    Trump got told no from the military and likely got calls from the military industrial complex oligarchs and he needed to save face by fooling a bunch of idiot Trump supporters. This is so easy to see it hurts my brain.

    I mean you guys literally will worship everything he does right?? Like is there anything he could do you wouldn’t fall over yourself to worship??

    I dont think it had anything to do with the military but rather how the bond market spiked after EU firms started unloading their treasury notes. He did a 180 back in April after the bond market spiked. The entire us economy is built off the 30 year and majority of loans are based on the 30 year.
