The point is to water down and normalize the concept of imperialism to serve Russia.
The same thing they did with “impeachment” and “coup” and pardons.
I don’t think the US threatening to take over other countries is somehow related to Russian imperialism.
It’s quite literally the same old US imperialism that has always existed, only less sugar coated.
Probably not the intention, but the effect will work well.
Can’t criticise someone who does the same thing as you.
I don’t disagree, but it’s pretty weird that Americans always try shifting the blame or motivation around rather than admitting their own questionable behavior.
US being authoritarian? “Must be related to them Russians!”
It’s the same play they’ve run constantly for twelve years. I only named three, but there’s plenty more.
“Biden crime family”, Obama playing golf all the time, Biden as a sex pest.
It’s always cover for what they’re actually doing. And the “they” in this case happens to not be the US directly.
I always joked about some billionaire becoming president and just buying other countries but, like… I imagined they had money. And weren’t complete morons.
Genuine question. Why would anyone want greenland?
With climate change opening up more routes through the arctic seas, it becomes a strategic place to set up shop and control all that traffic (read: tax.)
Incidentally we already have a base there. (I believe it’s for launching rockets into polar orbits. Don’t quote me on that.)
I didn’t think that’s true, at least for NASA. According to their site California is the preferred launch location for polar orbits .
Apparently I conflated a few things. In any case it’s a Space force base
Ah, that does make sense. Easy to conflate the air force with NASA.
- space force. Specifically they’re part of the early warning system for nukes.
I refuse to acknowledge Trump’s “space force”. Childish, I know.
It’s an incredibly lucrative land for minerals and such, they already had to give Denmark a slap on the wrist for screwing over the local Greenlandic population.
Probably lots of untapped natural resources under so that ice.
Which is probably gonna be melting soon. Once that ice is gone all those minerals in the Greenland archipelago are gonna be up for grabs.
Good strategic placement as the arctic ice pack melts for new shipping routes and opportunities for oil exploration
what we should really slurp up is russia. its a distrested property so we could likely get it for a steal.
