Of course, arguing with you is worthless. Trump could suggest we all murder our first born and you would say something about how it happened in the Bible and we all turned out okay.
Ww2 was 150 years ago?

Wait, history doesn't hold relevance? Even something "150 years ago "? Sh!t now I'm really confused by you...

It blows my mind that people still think this guy plays 3D chess and is running circles around the libs.



I keep seeing this “community organizer” barb against our former president. I didn’t vote for him either, but he was an Illinois state senator, lawyer, professor of constitutional law at the UoC, then a US senator.
LOL please. Lawyer, I mean come on. State Senator? So was Angela's finance. Dime a dozen is generous, and he wasn't even one for very long. US Senator? A one term wonder who showed up and voted "present" more than anyone, to preserve his Manchurian Candidate record...or lack of one...so he could promise anything with no accountability of the burden of an actual voting record while at the same time claiming its a conspiracy theory if you accuse him of being a leftist radical. To his credit though (LOL!) he did manage to co-sponsor (get his name put on) the least controversial piece of legislation in history (helping to secure former CIS of the USSR's potentially loose nuclear material. Gee but for those Herculean efforts no one else would have thought of that ever.

But who cares. Back to Greenland. I'm absolutely not claiming this is some 4-D chess move. I don't care if we buy it or not anyway, and I don't think he does either. But it was a very smart way to send a message to the pundit/elite class and the euroleeches (pre and post NATO) that we can't and won't continue to borrow from hostile powers specifically to fund their military welfare because they refuse to protect themselves, threaten us with the consequences of their destruction should we not do it, and then use the money they save not doing (that they agreed to spend generations ago) to throw in our face about how much more they spend on their own internal welfare. An endless process that the alternating fake two party system has actively enabled and fiercely defended the entire time.

This isn't 4-D chess and no one cares about Greenland one way or the other. This is just another stern warning that our coffers aren't going to be open for their pillaging forever and its done in a way that forces it to be talked about. Will anything be done about it? Likely not because both "sides" love it by design. But its the closest we've came to at least admitting the issue is a problem.

Now the real question is if we do buy it, and the energy and tourisim boom that would generate, once Air Greenland is invented hopefully when we codeshare with them we can get one flight while they get unlimited growth because they own all the slots.
