I think it is pretty clear Trump is going to step up the pressure to get Greenland; but ultimately it will be a deal just like the majority of the current USA.  
 

In other words the USA will literally buy Greenland.  They bought Alaska, Florida, not to mention the Louisiana deal that included all or part of 13 states; and others.  As there is such a small population of Greenland they could easily make it worth their while and make a tempting offer to the Danish government.

What if they refuse to sell?

So you don’t usually insult people, is that the case 😂😂😂 if you believe that you are seriously mentally ill, Mark came out first thing this morning being a cheeky bugger, dish it out you will get it back, he certainly doesn’t need an anonymous deluded coward from Glashow to stick up for him.  I’ve said this to you before you sick twat, do not fetch family and kids into the conversation, you and one other adversary were the only ones who liked the sick disgusting comments from Manco the night he was banned, slate me as much as you want you deluded fool but family and kids are out of bounds. 
Why are you interested in my sex life by the way 🤔🤔that do it for you imagining or watching other men on the job, ****************ing weirdo 😂😂😂😂

No cheek intended. 

I still can't fathom what you mean here. Please translate it:

@Steven P 

Seeing as you are obviously taking an interest in me yet again SP/TA, going back to your last round of racist accusations, just to add context for me, have you ever worked abroad, say maybe India, far or Middle East Africa etc etc 

This is a very simple question, try not to do your normal trick and avoid answering at all costs.

@Mesterh  if the car is running and you just put in D/drive it just takes "a bit of flooring" on accelerator pedal and you'll run over anyone at that distance.

 

It does react slower indeed ,but in big trucks ,like Mercedes Actros 1851 without the trailer attached. 

 

Slowest from my point if view was a L322 range rover despite its 4.4liter V8. 

 

Glad I got rid of it.

 

Fastest from stand still was in a friend's supercharged Range Rover.still V8 but forgot the exact model. Had about 400 hp. 

 

Have no ideea how fast is a Honda Pilot from stand still in D/drive but for sure I'm not standing in front if it .

 

Especially with a woman driver behaving like that. 

 

In 21 years of driving or riding anything from Yamaha R1 to 40ton trucks I never cause an accident or killed anyone. 

 

At worst moment I got two(2) speeding fines because of me and the car in part(too much hp and too fun to drive it hard). 

 

I calmed down now ,no more 270-299km/h on 2 wheels or "ayrton senna" reloaded...

 

Anyway:  will we get a hyperonic missile IN Europe this year?  Oreshnik...

 

Russia fires hypersonic missile at target in Ukraine near NATO border

Moscow said the Oreshnik weapon's use was in retaliation for the widely dismissed claim that Ukrainian forces targeted one...

 

Honestly ,"mister putin" is so lucky to deal with Trump... 

 

I would have bombed the brown thing out if him and his army long time ago. 

 

Not endless talking about NOTHING!

4 years of it and counting... 

 

I begin to believe american weapons manufacturers AND bankers would love to prolonge this war for a few decades or more...

I agree, I think it’s an easy deal to make given the strategic realities, small population and the existing USA presence.

Trump has started to enact what is electorate want and what he desires - he can little man Europe and doesn’t care about NATO, with Russia heavily stretched he is striking while the irons hot! With Venezuela’s resources acquired and if he can take Greenland he has secured a very prosperous future for America whilst weakening China and Russia. It would be interesting if he took Greenland by force as one NATO country taking another has never happened, saying that it probably wouldn’t be interesting as NATO couldn’t do anything about it (by interesting I mean historically speaking, I have no desire for it to happen).

Dilema: 

Will USA run out of "parking space" for the shadow fleet tankers its seizing?

There are many tools at Trump’s disposal to make it almost impossible for them to refuse.  Impossible in the sense that it will be a lot of effort and hassle and maybe even pain to resist (tariffs, other trade barriers etc) but very attractive to accept.  
 

I have no crystal ball but I suspect Trump will have his way or maybe his successor.  Tim Marshall said I believe on the radio the other day the USA have been after Greenland since the fifties.  This is not Trump’s idea.

True, sometimes it doesn't seem that way though.
