But since you brought it up, help to Ukraine is still under $300B of Kremlin stupud cunt's money he got stuck in the Western banks meaning it is essentially zero out of US taxpayers pockets when everything is said and done.
And by the way, if Trump pulls this deal off, he should change the name to Trumpland. Not a joke.
Now that the US may pony up some coin for Greenland...suddenly there is all kinds of posturing as to who gets the coin.
Denmark will take the coin hoping that the government of Greenland doesn't declare independence from it first. Funny how a few billion can change allegiances.
Still don't get the defense angle wrt Greenland. Defense from who?

The Arctic competition over likely gas reserves up there.

We literally beat the world in the 1940's from across two oceans and only have become more powerful.

Are these people mad? We can't compete with Pukin for Arctic reserves! It's too dangerous, because he has THERMONUCLEAR NUKES!!!! Therefore Trump must stop his dangerous warmongering and back off that idea before he triggers WORLD WAR THREE!!!
Yes, you're absolutely right. Greenland would be about 2000 miles closer to Russia than the CONUS's current northern border, except that the Bering Strait separating Alaska from Russia is only 55 miles wide. This situation has persisted ever since Russia sold Alaska to the USA in 1867.
I feel like we need community notes for EricHolder and his ilk.
When I went to New Orleans, everything was flat and I had to recalibrate my sense of direction.
Trump’s Greenland purchase plan has been a US ambition since 1868
When President-elect Donald Trump once more floated the idea of purchasing Greenland, reactions ranged from ridicule to intrigue. Critics dismissed the notion as another eccentric Trump proposal. However, history reveals that the United States’ interest in Greenland is far from new—it’s a strategy that dates back more than a century.
Trump openly questioned what Denmark has to do with it at all. “Denmark’s very far away and really has nothing to do with it. What happened? A boat landed there 200 years ago or something, and they say they have rights to it. I don’t know if that’s true. I don’t think it is, actually.”
It was most hilarious because it’s another classic Trump inversion. For decades, globalists and progressives have decried colonialism at top volume. Now, Trump has them flipping their script to defend Denmark’s colonial rule over Greenland. It’s an exquisite mega-troll.
