I don't know why Denmark is surprised. The USA has wanted it for generations. That Island has been a thorn in North America's side for nigh on 200 years. Its a colonial outpost of vestigial European Monarchy. However due to the Cold War, the USA put the issue on the back burner and its been more of a problem for the Canadians then the Americans. Mainly because while the USA wanted it, Canada had to deal with the poorly defined maritime border.

The Cold War is 30 years dead now though, and the only thing that kept the dispute asleep was the fact that the US Government was still run by Cold Warriors that were willing to look the other way about a European monarchy controlling what is essentially the commanding heights of the Atlantic Ocean and its North American approaches.

Its literally a massive ice cube with less people on it then the county I live in. Its useless to Denmark, but intensely important to the USA.

It's in the Western Hemisphere. That is reason enough to tell Denmark to fuck off. And actually though, if they complain, you and what army? One Wasp class amphibious assault ship and associated strike group would utterly dominate the island, even IF Denmark sent everything they had over RIGHT NOW.

country filled with majority of brown people

56,000 Eskimos. There are 165,000 Federally recognized Navajo. I think the Bureau of Indian Affairs can handle it if they want to go that route. They would also get Free Healthcare, Education, and US Citizenship.

The idea that a small town of 56,000 fishermen can handle the responsibility of independence at the entrance to the Northwest passage is ridiculous.

Can someone explain to me why we want Greenland, do they have a major resource that offsets getting a bunch of permanent democrat voters?
I understand say annexing Alberta as they have oil fields, are on the border, and some of the population is tired of Canadian governance.

i'm highly geographically challenged, is there any resource benefit to greenland? what kind of natural wealth does it hold for us to utilize?

A lot of rare earth elements, copper, gold, zinc, lead, iron ore, graphite, nickel, titanium, and precious stones

It's also a vital area of importance for the Navy

Mexico gets in the way of Trump's deportation plans.

>"we don't want our Mexicans back in Mexico, Señor Donald!"
>"can I ask why?"
>"BECAUSE THEY ARE MEXICAN!"

I worked in a gun store in a blue area during the Sandy Hook shooting, and the anti-gun leftists that rush the gun store when they feel scared are extremely weird. They have the deadliest serious look on their face and they refuse to make eye contact with anyone in the store. They do ask retarded questions, suggest you break the law for them, and get aggressive when you start asking for personal information. One of two things would usually happen; When they found out there was a waiting period, they would back out of the sale, or their NICS check would get denied and they would argue with you for 20 minutes demanding an explanation why, even thought the ATF doesn't give any of that information to the store. They always think you're lying or fucking with them when you tell them something is against the law, and they never buy practical shit. It's either the cheapest thing on the shelf or something exotic that would drop an elephant. They're almost always in the market for a mid range nightstand pistol like a Glock or M&P, but the second you say "Glock," they sneer and say that's too dangerous, then ask for you to pull down a Benelli M4 from the wall. The only time I ever saw someone buy the short barrel S&W 500 magnum was a 5'5" Jewish lawyer that worked for Jeff Bezos and the mad lad actually carried the thing every day under his tucked in shirt. It was ridiculous looking.

Bill Burr used to do a skit where he goes into a gun store and a bunch of rednecks try to sell him a shotgun, then he goes off on how he would kill half his apartment complex if he ever fired it. His story is often true, but the roles are reversed. The Bill Burr type is the one going into a gun store asking for a shotgun, talking about "spread" and how you don't have to aim it, and the rednecks are the ones rolling their eyes at you for being a retarded city slicker that's more likely to shoot their wife in anger than a home invader. It makes me think that's exactly what he did, but he retold the story where the gun guys were the retards and the Disney actor knew better.

They also control access to the arctic circle, as well as being a prime staging location for nukes and jets into Russia and China just due to the shape of the earth.

It commands the entrance to the Northwest Passage, which if the ice pack continues to recede will become the most valuable shipping channel in the world as it would cut the distance between the US East Coast and Asia down by weeks, as well as allow least time ocean trade with North Russia and Scandinavia over the Arctic Ocean. It is also commanding over the current least time air and sea routes between Western Europe and North America.

They have a bunch of metals that are useful for making electronics as well as it being pretty important for shipping and military operations

America doesn't get to decide what is useful or useless to Denmark since Greenland is a part of Denmark. If necessary the European Union should, as a whole, go to war against the United States - and given your recent comments about Canada and Panama the inevitable conclusion is that you would invade them as well. Meaning, sit down, shut up, and pray that your retarded chimpanzee of a president is full of shit as usual or you will have a world war on your hands and we will tear you into shreds.

Given your recent actions the United States are a destabilizing factor on the world stage and they should be treated accordingly, like a rogue state on par with North Korea. Muzzle your chimp, lest you regret it.

What happens if nobody virtue signals the Gulf of Mexico's neo pronouns?

Do we have a contingency if someone dead names the Gulf of America?

Why? I thought Europe was all about decolonizing.

Wait what new bill cosby? Are they talking about daddy?

I don't know how anyone can possibly get excited about the AI superpower investment. This is my one doomer point. What we call artificial intelligence is anything but intelligent. This is a field best left to the private sector.

The investment is from the private sector though. 500 billion dollars from private sources. Not tax dollars.

Also if you don't see the huge potential in AI, you are an actual retard or bad at pattern recognition.

It is a very young technology but all you have to see is what game companies, Microsoft, etc are planning on doing with it to see it's going to make a lot of money and it has a lot of potential.

It is NOT going to take over every job ever. It WILL be an incredibly useful in some sectors. It will be a huge boon to have a lot of the work be done in the US. AI is not going anywhere.

Like computers, the internet, and cloud computing, it will improve over time and many of the issues will get ironed out. It will also be adapted for specialty uses like security, data handling, medical sector as a tool (not replacement), things like adaptive AI for bosses and NPCs in games, and so on.

But it isn't perfect right now as we've already seen. If you think it's just a chat bot or image generation you aren't paying attention. Microsoft had a whole conference on its potential future use in the tech industry and some of the stuff they're talking about is actually useful (like adaptive management of datasets).


But yes it should be in the private sector, and the government can adopt and customize some of the advances once they're worth using. But it is in the private sector. The money is not tax money.

Unrelated, but in terms of avian flu is it possible industrial farming is contributing to these issues? Most chickens are not pasture, but rather crammed into cages or building with little access to the outside world. Not to mention fed pretty shitty diets.

Is this an area where regenerative agriculture might help? We already know vitamin D and good nutrition is good for immunity in humans so why not chickens?

And if they're not all crammed together, any chicken that gets sick wouldn't be able to catch and spread it through the whole flock as easily due to not being crammed up next to each other in one tiny space.

I genuinely have no idea if this is a factor at all or not. But I'm genuinely curious.

Shut up nigger the European plan for a Russian invasion is to borrow America's military. what's your plan for war with America? borrowing our army again? I see some severe difficulties with that.
