    Que?
    Its always been about money.
    Its always been about natural resources.
    Its always been national security.

    What exactly did you think it was about? Gay and transgender rights?

    You guys are the ones obsessed with gay and transgender issues

    . Right leaning posters are the only ones who bring it up and start threads on it

    It's pathetic the way you guys claim the other side is obsessed

    Sorry to continue the distraction but agreed it's always been about money. I will say Elon needing the minerals is suspect

    Trump himself also has a stagnant real estate portfolio and large chunks of personal wealth in near fraudulent equity and crypto-currrency offerings, so steering specific commodity investments into companies he can then invest in or favorably contract and license creates some obvious insider trades.

    Trump was interested in acquiring Greenland before Musk became Musk. Not everything revolves around Musk.

    Too bad the U.S. didn’t purchase it when it had the chance in the 1800s.

    Cowboy diplomacy can backfire.

    How about giving every Greenlander 10k per year? That’s the incentive this administration is considering.

    Google sez Alaskans recieved 1700 a month in 2024.

    Drill baby drill?

    I don't think EU will accept a deal even if the natives want it. They're belatedly waking up to how 10x important resources will be and have become in this new world. I guess it'll be a bargaining chip for ongoing negotiations where they want something like a ukraine minerals deal of sorts...
