This is where knowing what is happening in the world will help you filter out drama, and help you understand the legalities in your own country. This had nothing to do with trump's ego, he is strengthening our borders and making sure all maritime traffic understands the changes that happened in 2023. Putting legal protections in place to help us enforce any military actions or incursion in the future. Betting most of you never realized the us grew by thousands of miles.
Likewise, some of this radical idea of buying greenland and possibly canada. Has nothing to do with his ego. That has to do with the race for minerals in the arctic ocean, protecting our borders, and getting us the legal right to help europe protect their borders from the russian and chinese fleets that have been doing damage to infrastructure. If greenland is the territory of the us, but still their own country like puerto rico, then we have the legal right to have a base there and the legal right to protect the waters around greenland. The whole premise right now, if we were to go help europe it would trigger an act of war. We would have to wait for nato action to do anything. If we have the legal right, to be there. Legal right to protect greenland, then any response to defend our territory is not considered an act of war. It makes it easier to help our allies. Also, like as not, russia and china have been making plans to invade greenland. I have been hearing they are trying to buy up land around harbors in several countries or eyeing what they can take by force.
So trump is not crazy. Not being an egotistical dictator. He is trying to strengthen the u.s. And working to provide some checks and balances that strengthen our ability to help allies and prevent another world war. A lot of countries are getting we are the lesser of the two evils. Media not so much, they have grown allergic to fact-checking, and understanding any complex issue, and just become about stirring drama rather than reporting facts, all of the facts.

I am curious about that, too.

Seems like a cuss word to some people. To me it seems to mean interested in human rights for all people. Kind of what is in the Gospels of The Bible . The Golden Rule. Treat other people like you would want to be treated. Many religions have a similar rule.

Likewise, some of this radical idea of buying Greenland and possibly Canada. has nothing to do with his ego. That has to do with the race for minerals in the Arctic Ocean, protecting our borders, and getting us the legal right to help Europe protect their borders from the Russian and Chinese fleets that have been doing damage to infrastructure. If Greenland is the territory of the US, but still their own country like Puerto Rico, then we have the legal right to have a base there and the legal right to protect the waters around Greenland. The whole premise right now, if we were to go help Europe it would trigger an act of war. We would have to wait for Nato action to do anything. If we have the legal right, to be there. Legal right to protect Greenland, then any response to defend our territory is not considered an act of war. It makes it easier to help our Allies.

Kind of looks like the kind of propaganda dictators have used since there were historical records.
