The move follows an announcement by Denmark that it will increase its military presence in Greenland immediately.

After meeting with the US vice president and secretary of state, the Danish foreign minister said it was ‘clear that the president has this wish of conquering Greenland.’

    Hopefully mango man can read the room on this one and let it go. We don’t need to start another war.

      I highly doubt the idea for invading Greenland comes from him, but rather the people manipulating him who would perhaps benefit from the instability caused by a war between the US and EU.

        Undoubtedly.

        The US Government’s posturing, diplomatic and otherwise, for rights in the the Arctic and northern territories has been happening at least since the Obama administration. It’s a recognition that climate change is going to make it feasible to mine and drill in these places that were previously inaccessible.
