Marco Rubio Informs Congress That Trump Wants to Purchase Greenland

Territorial expansion is one way to get yourself into the history books.

NYT:

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has told lawmakers that President Trump plans to buy Greenland rather than invade it, while Mr. Trump has asked aides to give him an updated plan for acquiring the territory, U.S. officials said on Tuesday.

Mr. Rubio made his remarks in a briefing on Monday with lawmakers from the main armed services and foreign policy committees in both chambers of Congress. The same day, Mr. Trump told aides to deliver an updated plan.

The Danish PM has warned that if the US annexes Greenland -- without their permission, I think she means -- then that means the NATO treaty is formally nullified.

As many people have said: We accept your terms, now kindly fuck off and join the Greater Islamic Caliphate per your current political trajectory.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen is warning that NATO itself would collapse if the United States moved to forcibly annex Greenland--an extraordinary escalation in rhetoric that underscores Europe's growing anxiety over President Trump's sharpened focus on the Arctic.

Frederiksen told POLITICO that Trump should be taken "seriously when he says that he wants Greenland," a position rooted in the island's immense strategic value and its vast mineral reserves. But she went further, issuing what amounted to a dire warning for the transatlantic alliance: "If the U.S. chooses to attack another NATO country militarily, then everything stops, including NATO and thus the security that has been established since the end of the Second World War."

Trump has made clear that securing Greenland is a matter of national security, given its location at the front door of the Arctic--a region where America's adversaries have been expanding their footprint. And while he hasn't ruled out military action, the White House signaled this week that force is hardly the only tool available. Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller told CNN there was "no need to even think or talk about" a U.S. operation against Denmark, citing the island's population of just 57,000. "Nobody is going to fight the US militarily over the future of Greenland. That doesn't make any sense," he said, before questioning Denmark's historic claim altogether. "What right does Denmark have to assert control over Greenland? What is their basis of having Greenland as a colony of Denmark?"

I think the whole idea is nuttier than a Snickers bar but Trump has had nutty ideas before and some of them have worked out. (Other remain nutty.)

In related news, Marco Rubio has publicly denied rumors that he's being offered the GM job with the Miami Dolphins.

That said, I don't think that's really Marco Rubio. But I thing it makes for a fun post.

8 "The Danish PM has warned that if the US annexes Greenland -- without their permission, I think she means -- then that means the NATO treaty is formally nullified."

I don't believe there's a mechanism within NATO to eject a member who attacks another NATO member. It's not an Article 5 violation, as that covers attacks from outside NATO. If the annexing isn't violent, there would be even less reason to dissolve NATO.

It's not different than the Carlson thing... if you watch a person shed skin like a snake every few years and emerge as a completely different person, you should recognize them for the centerless grifters they are, and categorically ignore whatever they say.

If they happen to be right about some given topic, it's coincidental to their own interests being served, and it's entirely disingenuous - if they feel saying the exact opposite thing better serves them, they'll say it with seeming conviction the very next day.

It's just not worth the time or effort to hear them out. There are other people who are right (or wrong, for that matter) without being a cheesy fuckin' scammer nobody can trust.

It's really a very simple reason. Right now Russia has a very strategic position in the Arctic Sea. We don't but Greenland does. The Arctic Sea is increasingly important for trade but particularly national security.

Trump does some things that at first seem goofy because they aren't talked about in the media or traditional political debate but this is a well know issue in national security circles.

I suspect the pan is *not* to buy Greenland.

I suspect the plan is to get the Danes to agree to ice out Red China and grant the US preferential treatment on resource exploitation.

The big, noisy threat: annexation.
The more palatable but still very politically-difficult (for both sides) position: purchase and transfer.
The compromise solution: no access to our enemies, access for ourselves.

130 Why Greenland? Here is a map.
"Greenland - As viewed from a proper map

Why Greenland? Well because Moscow bases almost all of their strategic military assets on the Kola Peninsula next to Finland. This is where the Russian ICBM silos, submarine bases, and their strategic bombers are.

If you look at the flight path (ballistic or powered) from Kola to anywhere on the lower 48, then everything goes over Greenland.

Greenland is the theatre where any strategic exchange between Washington and Moscow is contested"

Funding illegals is done. The problem is that the Democrats have is that they cannot back down and insist on the extension covering illegals (they dance aroudn that part). Probably some GOPe types taking big bucks from insurors would love to pass it but their voters will take them out if they do, especially now it is highly salient and visible.

So, there might be some folding into the minibus with the exclusion of illegals language but then the Dems have to decide to shut down the government again for departments that hand out goodies to their constituents. The NDAA, VA, etc. have been passed so the hostage has been shot for the GOP. That makes another shutdown explicitly on illegals unlikely to happen but enraged Dems might do YOLO again and make us shut down the whole part of government that issue fradulent payments to assholes.

183 165 I was re-reading about Leroy Fincum's death. He was a Cliven Bundy protestor that was shot in the back.

It went through the courts and the argument seems to be it was a good shoot because he was armed even though he had his weapon holstered at the time.

Why? Well he was resisting arrest.

None of the left's arguments are serious. They are simply bad rhetoric to change the subject from Somali massive fraud encouraged and protected by Dem officeholders.

The left would shoot you down in a minute and dance in celebration if you happened to be a bad person like Charlie Kirk. They mourn when their criminals FAFO. There is no truth in them and arguing with them or seekign common ground is impossible with committed ideologues. Communism is their faith and religion and has been since that wretched piece of shit Roussean and Marx put a name to that doctrine of envy, hate, and death.

----------
Another point -- Those resources are hard to extract right now, but if we can pump up those global warming numbers maybe it will be economic in future. China thinks like that.

(off point, but I think one reason Trump is in a hurry to go to the Moon is because of this. China is confronted with territory claims on many islands, and it goes back to "who discovered, who used resources, and who had permanent continuous presence"

China wants that claim for the Moon. Bank on it. We need to maintain our priority claims. Remember, China thinks in terms of centuries and in 100 years, the Moon might have real value to whoever can claim it.)

There is some year round skiing on glaciers in the Alps and Whistler sometimes. but it’s pretty shitty conditions. People do it just to do it (hey I skied in July!!). It’s limited terrain like a run or two.

254 At this point in history, what purpose does it serve for the US to be in NATO anyway? It was assembled for the purposes of mutual defense against the Soviet Union and its satellite nations behind the Iron Curtain/in the Eastern Bloc. The Soviet Union collapsed decades ago, and was arguably largely ineffectual before then. There is no Iron Curtain anymore, and no Eastern Bloc anymore. So other than allowing NATO countries to free-ride on US military protection, just how compelling a purpose does it serve in the modern era taking into account the sea changes in geopolitics?

Euroland is Janus faced. NATO is America is our Friendz, please protect us from evil Vlad, remember the pittance we sent to safe places in Afghanistan? The EU is that the US is a vicious nasty bully that seeks to destroy the planet by allowing citizens to have guns, free speech, and carbon burning vehicles and power.

GL is a bit of an odd topography for top quality skiing. It has huge elevation with ice and glaciers (over 12k feet), but the average height isn’t much more than Vermont. It’s like Antarctica only not as high.

Of course, the best skiing is often about snow quality, and I have no idea the quality in GL. Could be awesome. Could be shit. But I’d love to ski it!

Bullshit.

It is functioning EXACTLY how Democracy works. That’s the whole point. Universal Suffrage doesn’t work either.

This is why the founders set up the government the way they did, separation of powers, divided government and the so-called “antidemocratic” Senate, the Electoral College, and independent judiciary and the rest of it. Democracy is Mobocracy. They hated Democracy as much as any King or potentate or dictator.

* Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of the late Shah of Iran, had called for demonstrations to take place tonight

* Verified videos show large crowds in some cities, but Iranian state media is downplaying the protests

Primarily Eskimo, per Wikipedia (so grains of salt are called for)
The Inuit population makes up approximately 85–90% of the total (2009 est.). 6,792 people from Denmark live in Greenland, which is 12% of its total population.

The average Greenlander has 75% inuit ancestry and 25% European ancestry, tracing about half of their paternal DNA to Danish male ancestors.

Trump had to warn the Euros off from stealing Russia's foreign assets directly so they borrowed against it and sent the money to Ukraine and Zelinsky anyway.

I think the EU and its main countries simply collapse like the old Soviet Union. Sort of like a deflating balloon because no one is willing to fight and die for it. Even the Muzzies. Most of them came for looting, when no loot is there, barbarians leave or are kicked out by a newly reinvigorated native population. Muzzies are mainly an urban feature, much like our fucktard leftists, they move to the hive but that makes the cancers centralized for removal. Big cities aren't as necessary in this era as in the past. Instead, they have become cancerous lumps in a nation's body.

418 311 Anyone here know the demographics of the current residents of Greenland? Are they mostly descendants of Danish colonizers, or mostly descendants of original indigenous people?

Primarily Eskimo, per Wikipedia (so grains of salt are called for)
The Inuit population makes up approximately 85–90% of the total (2009 est.). 6,792 people from Denmark live in Greenland, which is 12% of its total population.

Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at January 08, 2026 06:18 PM (GyQIQ)



So, the Danes are colonial masters, with their boot on the neck of the peaceful natives, who long to breathe freely. The moral thing to do is to help the natives throw off the cruel chains of oppression and end their exploitation by the evil white foreign devils.

Free Greenland !

423 I think the EU and its main countries simply collapse like the old Soviet Union. Sort of like a deflating balloon because no one is willing to fight and die for it. Even the Muzzies. Most of them came for looting, when no loot is there, barbarians leave or are kicked out by a newly reinvigorated native population. Muzzies are mainly an urban feature, much like our fucktard leftists, they move to the hive but that makes the cancers centralized for removal. Big cities aren't as necessary in this era as in the past. Instead, they have become cancerous lumps in a nation's body.

In the 21st century, with continental frontiers closed, that spirit needs revival. Greenland is the perfect place to rekindle it: a vast, untamed new horizon for bold pioneers.
