Well they just released a report on one of Trump's running buddies committing statutory rape, so of course Trump must respond by lashing out against another country with some bullshit that doesn't even make sense.
In 1946, former President Harry Truman offered to buy the island for $100 million in what would have been the single largest territorial expansion in U.S. history.
Yeah, the tready Canada signed with Denmark, that ended the Whiskey War, was just to lul the Danish into a false sense of security. Half of Hans island is not enough. We need more!
Probably some crazy conflation that north equals oil since Alaska and Canada have decent oil reserves. Or fascist expansionism like the Nazis, which explains the talk of Mexico, Panama, and even Canada.
Honestly too lazy/depressed/exhausted of... All of this to Google it and find a source, but I remember something about the northern Waters being a new potential shipping route or something militarily important in the coming years due to climate change making them more navigable than before. Specifically it was talking about what the northern limits of Canada are, and how before it was sort of vaguely defined because no one considered the land up there worth anything, but with the ice melting the us and Canada were gaining interest in them. This was before 2016, so I'm probably remembering something (or everything) wrong.
Anyway, if that's the case, Greenland, Canada, Mexico, Panama... Could be the old Nazi playbook and Trump/maga/the evil empire just trying to secure all naval routes around north america because they know a war is coming, because they're planning on starting an expansionist war.
