Why Greenland Matters To Trump: US Invasion & The NATO Fallout

Trump would turn Greenland into a 21st Century Nauru. I mean, it'd be green at least lol however briefly.

Albow-knee-sea

And don’t forget in Australia we have a compulsory voting system…which makes a huge difference balancing the extreme positions and eventually moderating the elections political outcomes

Albanese is an Italian surname. Although not the proper Italian pronunciation, aussies call him Alba -nee -zee

We did fight the germans in ww2. But we realized it was hopeless and would only cause more pain than it was worth so we surrendered quickly.

Fictitious: [my translation] i.e. Julien Odoul who, four months after the start of his contract, sent Marine Le Pen a message: "Marine, could I possibly come to Strasbourg tomorrow to see actually how a (parliamentary) session is» at the Parliament « and finally meet Mylène Troszczynski to whom I am attached? », did he write in February 2015. "Yes of course", replied Marine Le Pen.

Looting and occupying allies is unprecedented, and we know that the United States is not capable of being allies with other countries. The United States spends money on leading the world into wars, it is unworthy and testifies that the United States has no interest in peace, but only in money. The United States has in recent weeks given up the right to speak and think freely, the right to be who you are, the right to respect each other, incited war, abandoned hungry people, been responsible for the death of Ukrainian soldiers, announced that they do not believe in vaccines, announced that green energy should be replaced by oil and gas to the detriment of the environment, and the United States has never before lied, cheated, and stolen as they do now, and it will cause tensions throughout the world, a world on the brink of peace until Trump came along and started wars.

Alistair Campbell. Hmmm

It's Albanese as in Sneezy of the 7 dwarfs. And yes, that is a often made comparison

We just call him "Albo" go for that 😀
In our media it's always pronounced al-bo-neez-ee

Another Aussie here. One of the great successes in our political system is compulsory voting. The vast majority of us swing very little from left to right of centre and the majority of voters keep us there.
Albo’s name is pronounced Alban”easy”. You got it terribly wrong with Dutton. The first letter is correct but it is pronounced dickhead.

Shhh guys, real countries are talking

“Al-bon-easy” is the pronunciation.

Denmark could keep using the land after handing out ownership, if they used it at all.

You guys should have @Gary's economics on.

Thank you for bringing up the context of French politics and corruption. The judgement is in that context . It is democracy and the rule of law working. It should be also noted that the parquet has already signalled next phase of the case will be in2026. This leaves plenty of time for Le Pen to run if acquitted. Juppe at that phase got a reduction. What about Fillon which the scandal killed his presidential race. No one brought that up? Please note that France has convicted two presidents for embezzlement and influence. The US has a convicted felon in office. We should demand the highest conduct in office because they are being entrusted with Power. We all known power is corruptive. The same goes for certain professions such as law, medicine, accountants

A minor correction: as regards the seizure by the United States of the Hawaiian Islands, it is certainly true that a small group of businessmen, aided by the US counsel and a small company of Marines, forced the Queen to abdicate in January 1893. What is not broadly remembered is that the businessmen then sent a delegation to Washington D.C., requesting that the U.S. annex the islands. Unfortunately for their timing, while a Republican president was in power at the time of the overthrow, the presidential election had occurred in November 1892, and the winner of that election was Grover Cleveland, a Democrat. When the Hawaiian delegation arrived in Washington, Cleveland had been inaugurated. Cleveland flatly refused to approve annexation, and in fact appointed a commission to go to Hawaii and investigate the insurrection. Having been rebuffed by the U.S., the insurrectionists set up the Hawaiian "Republic." The commission's report slammed the insurrectionists and recommended that the U.S. lend its offices to enable a restoration of the Hawaiian monarchy. It wasn't until 1898, and under Republican William McKinley, that the Hawaiian islands were annexed to the U.S. as a territory.
(Please note that these facts are easily verifiable; probably the best starting point would be to check the Wikipedia summary under the title "Blount Report.")

Hows turquoise mountain going rory? Without the usaid money,, still profitable?

So interesting and informative.

Is Rory saying that NATO’s article 5 is not worth the paper it’s written on? Does that mean that Greenland and Canada are defenceless against Trump?

The acquisition of Greenland is nothing to do with national or international security. It’s about the minerals. It’s as simple as that, and that includes Canada too. He’s a business man. Acquisition is all he’s interested in. What can he get out of it, and how much money will he get.
