HELLO GREENLAND!
I wonder how well a tank would do on a glacier. It would be fun to find out, wouldn't it? This idea to invade Greenland is great. A new adventure for those wandering around looking for something to do. Boredom is a terrible thing; it causes one to do things one normally wouldn't do such as invade other countries. We apparently have a bored government desperately looking for things to do; you know, like invade Venezuela or annex Greenland.
It hadn't occurred to me that our current administration would be so eager to add a bunch of eskimos to our national population. We would have to do the same with Canada, which I assume will be next after Greenland. Afterall, we can't just get in our car and drive to Alaska, now can we? We should not have to put up with border guards just to get to Nome.
But back to Greenland. My understanding is there are about 50,000 people who live in Greenland who speak Danish or Inuit apparently ( foreign languages to those ill-informed) and have no business doing that. They need to speak English, American English. They have no business speaking anything else and we should insist on it once we annex them.
This business about what Greenlanders want or how the Danes feel about it is irrelevant. The Chinese and Russians have the right idea when it comes to annexing countries: what the people of those countries want is irrelevant. For examples, Tibet and now Ukraine and soon to be Taiwan. We can still purport to be a democracy, caring about what the people living in target countries want, while simply ignoring them - - just like here in America where what the people either want or really should want is irrelevant to those in charge.
What's really exciting about this whole idea is that once we have Greenland, Canada will be surrounded and we can annex them next. The only question is, do we really want Quebec. After all they speak French and are quite proud of the fact. That might take a rather lengthy effort. We could always annex the rest of Canada and leave the Quebecers alone for now; just put it on our to-do list, that way we won't irritate France either.
The whole thing sounds pretty exciting. I'm not sure we would then be as big as Russia, but certainly getting close and all this nonsense about exotic minerals to operate our iphones would be moot. All for the simple reason that our people here in charge are bored and need something to do which doesn't cause unnecessary problems locally in the US; and, at the same time gives them a chance to, as they say, "Expand their horizons" a little with some foreign intervention and accumulation of other people who we can immediately turn into Americans - - something we have been doing for centuries actually.
Once again, all I can say is, it sounds pretty exciting and I really do want to see a video of an army tank on a glacier. We could have war games there in preparation for a war on the Siberian tundra.
