President Donald Trump has said he believes the US will gain control of Greenland, after showing renewed interest in acquiring the autonomous Danish territory in recent weeks.

"I think we're going to have it," he told reporters on Air Force One on Saturday, adding that the island's 57,000 residents "want to be with us".

His comments come after reports that Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen insisted Greenland was not for sale in a fiery phone call with the president last week.

More... (https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/crkezj07rzro)

Do you think Trump is correct about the people of Greenland preferring to be U.S. citizens?

Income Taxes. Greenlanders have a maximum income tax rate of 44%, compared to 37% in the U.S. As in the U.S. most people are not taxed at the top rate.
Retirement. In the U.S., employees must contribute 7.65% of their salaries to Social Security. There is no employee retirement tax in Greenland. Greenlanders are guaranteed a pension when they retire.
Sales Tax. Greenland has no sales tax.
Property Tax. Greenland has no property taxes.
College. College is free for Greelanders. They can attend either in Greenland or in Denmark. In addition, college students receive a monthly allowance for living expenses.
Medical. Medical services are free in Greenland.

Trump says the reason the U.S. needs Greenland is for security. There are already U.S. military bases in Greenland. The real reason is rare earth minerals. Trump wants to take Greenland from Denmark because Greenland has valuable resources. That is colonialism.

Oh no! Not colonialism! Greenland is and has been a Danish territory for centuries.. What are we talking about here?

If and when China decides they want to take said rare earth minerals either by military force or economic domination (see Bridges & Roads Initiative), what are the 57,000 Greenlandic residents with their $3.2B annual GDP going to do about it? Can the mighty Denmark save them? Would it then become a national security threat to the United States?

I'd rather we focus on free healthcare and education, more affordable housing, food, and overall general prices, and higher wages for the working class before we talk about acquiring another territory for its resources. And if we get to that point I contend that there be agreements where all benefit rather than threatening using force.

What really pisses me off about the crop of political leaders we have right now is their tough talk and threats about everything. We the people in every country live our lives day to day in peace while world leaders play war games with our labors and lives. The average person from any country on this planet has more in common with each other in terms of humanity than they don't yet our leaders lie to us every day that everyone else is a threat to our way of life. Its bullshit designed to keep us afraid and voting them into power.

A fundamental problem I see with socialists, Marxists, leftists, etc. is they ignore or deny basic human sociology. We naturally organize ourselves into social hierarchies and compete to survive. People are not equal in abilities & ambition. Thinking that we’re all just going to get along with each other and everyone gets an equal share is a fantasy that defies our very nature.

China seeks to supplant the United States to become the world’s sole dominant superpower. That is a fact. We are presently locked in a Cold War, and our way of life is at stake much the same way as it was when we competed with the USSR. Spare me that kumbaya ‘why can’t we all just get along?’ nonsense. Wake up and grow up.

PS: The world was much more at peace 4+ years ago during Trump’s first term before Biden took office, and we should all hope to return to that stability.

As part of Denmark, residents of Greenland get to elect members to represent them in the Danish parliament. Greenlanders would lose all voice in national politics if the U.S. acquires Greenland, because residents of U.S. territories don't get to elect members of Congress and don't get to vote in presidential elections. Greenland would need to become a state to have the right to participate in Congress or presidential elections. With a population of less than 10% of the U.S. state with the smallest population, Greenland is likely to be a territory only, not a state, if it is acquired by the U.S.

And that is the problem with socialism and communism... there's no basic human trait that says "We're in this together, I should work as hard as I can while my neighbor doesn't.. and we can be equal!"

It breaks down very quickly when ambition and greed are not accounted for.. and they have to turn to the only basic human trait to get it to "work": Fear

Gosh there's a lot to unpack here.

If you actually read the Communist manifesto by Marx, don't worry you won't die in a fiery pit of hell for doing so, you'll see that it's all based around the idea of the family unit where everyone pitches in how they can so they all can live comfortably. That's the idea of the commune.

I think a worthwhile goal for humanity in general is to emulate that nationally and eventually globally. When we all work together things are better for everyone. Humanity needs to stop perpetuating the cycle of hatred, violence, and elitism if we're going to survive long enough to get to the stars.

As for China and Cold wars aren't you driving us towards conflict with your attitude? Like what if since you're so firmly convinced that it's inevitable that there will be conflict you are actually becoming the cause of that conflict?

I think people are naturally cooperative and friendly until they're taught to hate. And I will maintain that the leaders of our current era are power-hungry capitalists that are trying to drive us apart and keep us fearful of one another so that we will continue to put them in power. In reality the average guy in China or any other f****** country in the world just wants to put food on the table, have a nice peaceful life, and raise a family, just like everybody else.

Care to show me a single instance where real socialism / marxism / communism actually works?

SPOILER: It doesn't.

You're so naive... it's almost painful to read.

Yes, it's a worthwhile goal for humanity.. but how do you fix the human traits of greed and envy and sloth? These are the very reasons why socialism/marxism/communism will never, ever work.

The ONLY way that they work.. is by utilizing another basic human trait: Fear. Either you go out 5-6 days a week and be productive or your kids/wife/mother/father will be killed or tortured.

And it doesn't last long until the system breaks down when the people realize they can just all revolt.

I read it as a poli sci major way back in the day. The thing about Karl Marx is he was a failure in life, a grifter, and relied upon inheritance & the charity of others for a living. He never worked a hard day in his life.

People that are not in your family are not family. We live in a world of limited resources and thus competition is inevitable. Humans naturally group together with those that share similar qualities, we create social hierarchies, and the masses follow leaders. You are defying reality and social science to believe in that nonsense. As others have pointed out, every single instance where Marxism was implemented has failed spectacularly.

As to China, it’s their own stated goal to supplant the United States & become the sole dominant superpower nation in the 21st century. I’m not just making this up, and there is universal bipartisan understanding of this fact in our government…

Does it bother you that Trump has a higher approval rating now than at any point in his first term (https://www.yahoo.com/news/cnn-data-guru-stunned-trumps-004711202.html)? Of course it does. Trump lives in your head rent free and you suffer from severe TDS.

The best part is that Trump is more popular now than at any point in his first term in office, the first president to ever accomplish this.

Almost every (or maybe literally every?) president gets less and less popular the more time they are in office. Trump is once again making history by getting more popular the more time he is in office.

I took a look and found that Marx actually did work as a journalist, not to mention co-authoring the most important political work of the 19th century, and did leave something for his family after his death. So, that doesn't really fit with your claim and lots of people die penniless if you haven't noticed. Regardless of your attempt to smear him it's not surprising that the man who co-authored the critique of capitalism that influenced the world died with modest means.

True socialism has not taken hold, nor communism for that matter, but certain socialist policies absolutely have. Some Nordic countries do have high tax rates but free healthcare, education, pensions and more. Some South American countries have nationalized their natural resources to create welfare for the general population of the countries. I don't disagree with private property or making a profit... I just have an issue a system that allows individuals to hoard more resources then they could ever use in their entire life while other people go hungry.

As I have stated many times over the years I believe that the wealthiest among us are the ones who drive the division between the rest of us to perpetuate their positions at the top. American politics has been bought, Republican and Democrat, to benefit corporations and the wealthy 1%. Everyone in Congress is getting rich off the stock market. In this country corporations are considered people and money is free speech. Those people who are paying that money? They're getting what they want. Every goddamn thing there is. And that means less for everybody else.

The past does not make the future. We may have come from a place where there is division but we can move forward to a place where there is unity. Human kind needs to work together to battle against nature, disease and cancer, and ensure the survival of our species by reaching out from this rock. We are already stewards of the planet. We have already started to explore the solar system. We have conquered some diseases. We have some safety nets for people in need. It's a tiny portion of the population that says we can't because they just want more and more for themselves. The crazy thing is we allow it!

The wealthy Americans who have bought the politicians tell us that China is the enemy, and the leaders of China have probably told their people that Americans are the enemy too, but everybody's full of s***. The only ones who are are the ones who believe it.

And another note as I edit for speech to text tweeks.. let's talk about the defense / gun / weapon industry. It's in their interest for everyone to be at war. You know those rich m************ have bought and sold every politician that can get their hands on to keep their industry thriving.

On Marx, I could say a great deal in response but instead I prefer to point you to this video by Thomas Sowell so you may perhaps educate yourself:

https://youtu.be/-0iP1Rf-v-Q?si=goZyhLKIo4p5cUHJ

Of course you would say true socialism & communism have never been really tried before (paraphrasing). The South American countries you just mentioned are shit holes of oppression with substandard living conditions for the masses, just like it always is with those forms of government. How many more millions of people have to die from starvation or gulags before people like you finally understand the truth? Capitalism is responsible for lifting the majority of the world’s population out of extreme poverty. Most rich people accumulated their wealth by merit and those hyper-productive & talented individuals are rewarded for providing a great service or product to society.

The only way I see us truly organizing into a united global society is if we face an imminent threat of extinction from another source. I’m not talking about your BS climate change or Covid either. Think of the Terminator or Halo or Planet of the Apes type situation. Even then, there will always be haves vs have nots. That’s the nature of humanity. Now you can either try to fight that inevitability & bitch about why the rich man is keeping you down, or you can make the conscious decision to make the most of your life & climb the ladder of wealth accumulation / social status until you are satisfied. Be thankful you have that choice in America.

I checked into the video's statement that Marx borrowed money from his mother to buy arms for failed revolution attempts. There are ZERO citations for this anywhere. Thats when I stopped watching.

Its insidious bullshit mixed in with some of the truth to push an agenda. Without even looking it up I bet you the money behind this video comes from some billionaire funded lobbyist group.

Guys I think Seran and Back could be the same person, or at least retarded cousins.

My hope is they are related.. I would hate to believe there are multiple strains of that retard gene running rampant in this country.

They aren't the same. Back is a different type of retard than Seran.

Maybe it's multiple personalities of the same base retard.

Trump wins, Seran vanishes.

Trump gets inaugrated, Backlash returns, even more retarded than most people remembered.

Latrin is still hiding under his bed somewhere.

Latrin likely starved to death in his basement because he was too afraid to leave his house due to COVID.

I checked into the video's statement that Marx borrowed money from his mother to buy arms for failed revolution attempts. There are ZERO citations for this anywhere. Thats when I stopped watching.

Its insidious bullshit mixed in with some of the truth to push an agenda. Without even looking it up I bet you the money behind this video comes from some billionaire funded lobbyist group.

I recommend you not watch any videos from whoever published this one. They are not being truthful which means they have ill intent. Its straight up manipulation, brother.

I'll give you my thoughts on capitalism and what its doing to humanity when I get some more time later today.

It really doesn’t surprise me that you don’t recognize Thomas Sowell, one of if not the greatest economist of our time, and that you would be so quick to bet me money that it came from some “billionaire funded lobbyist group.” :rofl:

It's because Thomas Sowell is black, and democrats hate back people.

At least he didn't claim Sowell was a socialist.

Also, Backlash doesn't accept that a black man can do anything except pick crops at low wages.. so he can buy his organic cucumber for his nightly activities cheaper.

So here's the thing... From what I can dig up Thomas Sowell is not actually involved with those videos or that YouTube channel. That is a fan-made channel that promotes his ideology. I'm being critical of peppering his reasoning with silly falsehoods. There absolutely no reason to do that unless there's an agenda. I stand by what I said... I don't recommend watching these videos because of that.

Yeah, he is a 94 year old man so I don’t think he is uploading his own YouTube videos… He used to be a Marxist as a young man until he became further educated. I’ll refer you to this video interview:

Trump says the reason the U.S. needs Greenland is for security. There are already U.S. military bases in Greenland. The real reason is rare earth minerals. Trump wants to take Greenland from Denmark because Greenland has valuable resources. That is colonialism.


I'm seeing a pattern. Why is Trump suddenly so focused on rare earth minerals?


WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Monday indicated that he wants to reach an agreement with Ukraine to gain access to the country’s rare earth materials as a condition for continuing U.S. support for its war against Russia.

All technology today requires them.

And the environmentalist retards in this country claim we will destroy the planet if we mined for them here.. so they would rather have kids do it in another country.

"Security" doesn't just mean military security.

If the US was somehow in danger of running out of oil tomorrow do you not think that would be a national security concern?

Vance said the following in Greenland today..


Vance said the U.S. has “no option” but to take a significant position to ensure the security of Greenland as he encouraged a push in Greenland for independence from Denmark.

“I think that they ultimately will partner with the United States,” Vance said. “We could make them much more secure. We could do a lot more protection. And I think they’d fare a lot better economically as well.”

Do you know what would happen if someone from Denmark came to the U.S. and urged the citizens to overthrow the government?
