*But the US is the one doing the distracting, or rather He Who Must Not Be
Named is doing it in the name of the US. Denmark is a very small country
but it has always been a loyal NATO ally, per capita it contributed one of
the largest numbers of soldiers that fought with the US in Afghanistan and
Iraq following the September 11 attacks, 52 Danish soldiers died in
Afghanistan alone and many more were wounded. And later Denmark was an
important part of the Anti-ISIS Coalition. But now You Know Who has told
Denmark that it has not ruled out the use of military force and that the US
is going to take over Greenland and we could do it "the easy way or the
hard way" which sounds like something from the Godfather but actually came
from the President of the United States; the USA is rapidly becoming the
world's villain because everybody hates a bully.  *

*Iran is important but not more important than preserving NATO, but if the
US uses strong-arm tactics to take over Greenland China would be absolutely
delighted because not only would NATO be dead no country in the world would
trust the US about anything anymore and a new precedent would have been
set; if a superpower covets a piece of land, like Greenland or Taiwan, it
can just take it by any means necessary. In fact Taiwan might get so
desperate that they decide that they'd rather take their chances with China
than the US because China had never betrayed one of its allies as blatantly
as the US did with Denmark.  *

*There is no military, economic or political reason, so why is Mr. I
Lowered Drug Prices By 1600 Percent so obsessed with taking over Greenland?
I think it's all the fault of Mercator Projection, on those sort of maps,
which are probably the only sort he has ever looked at closely, Greenland
looks almost as big as South America (when in reality it's about the same
size as Mexico), and figured it would be cool if the US owned such a big
thing, and after learning that such a huge chunk of land is part of a tiny
country like Denmark he decided to just take it because what baby wants
baby gets. *

*> The commies vs the… other commies in Ukraine is disturbing. *


*Do you also find it disturbing that You Know Whose solution to ending the
Ukraine war is to just let the "commies" get everything they want? I do. *


> *  > **The Taiwan situation worries me.*

*And you should be worried about that! You should be even more worried
about the fact that the current POTUS is either showing symptoms of
Alzheimer's disease or he has always been a low IQ individual.  Speaking of
stupidity, new economic figures came out yesterday and because of Mr. I
Lowered Drug Prices By 1600 Percent's enormous tariffs (a man so stupid he
thinks his tariffs are paid for by China and not by US consumers) during
the last year imports from China to the US declined by 22%, however China's
trade surplus increase by 20% to $1.19 trillion, the largest trade
surplus any country has ever had, even if you take inflation into account.

*Greenland is indeed a distraction from other far more important things,
but why on earth would the President of the United States want to create
such an idiotic distraction?! If you don't like my Mercator Projection Map
theory then what is your explanation?  *
