The whole point of this Greenland hoax is to distract us from what is really going on.
Trump is at his old antics again. He does or says outrageous things and the media (and the populace) eat it up, either as fans or as outraged haters. It is always ridiculous stuff, too - things he never or rarely follows up on, like his chunks of "wall" which are now in disrepair as they can be sawed through with a battery-operated sawzall.
He brought up this Greenland thing before and it never went anywhere because it couldn't. Short of declaring war on the EU by invading Greenland, there is no way we could acquire it or want to. After all, we've had a military base in Thule since 1950 - what other strategic value could Greenland provide to us?
And what burdens would be involved? You know the old legend - that Iceland was so-named to discourage settlers on that small fertile island, while Greenland was so-named to encourage settlers to its icy wasteland. Greenland has a lot of snow and ice - so much so that airplanes from WWII that crash-landed on the glaciers are now buried under hundreds of feet of packed snow and ice.
Denmark subsidizes the Greenland economy, which in turn exports fish to them. It is hardly an "asset" but more of a burden, much as Puerto Rico has become for the US. And speaking of which, if Greenland became a US territory, would that mean Greenlanders could move to the US as citizens, as Puerto Ricans currently do? For a guy who hates Immigrants, Trump seems to want to bring in more.
The only way this would make economic sense would be if there was something in Greenland that the US wanted. Oh, right, oil. Perhaps Greenlanders will become the new Saudis in the future - unless the US steals their oil out from under them.
But the point is moot. It is doubtful that Demark will sell Greenland to Trump, and taking the island territory by force would trigger a war with the EU - or perhaps that is part of the plan?
I doubt it. I think the point is to distract us from what really matters - the slow descent into fascism that we are witnessing. In an eerie parallel to Nazi Germany (or Communist Venezuela) Trump is appointing people to his cabinet with no qualifications whatsoever, other than a blind loyalty to their fearless leader.
It will not end well. In the meantime, enjoy your media kibble? Seen the new Melania biopic? It pus the Barbie movie to shame! Lol.
