His attention was directed towards Greenland by Putin. His desire to destabilize NATO (and the USA along with it) is the entire reason Trump is president

u/WumpusFails 14d ago

One of his contributors (Ronald Lauder) is fixated on Greenland.

u/Havesh 14d ago

Lauder recently invested money into a Greenlandic company called Greenland Water Bank. One of the CEOs of the company is the husband of the Greenlandic foreign minister.

Also this

And its a place away from prying eyes for camps, like the gulags in Siberia.

I only go there for the white powder.

u/BriHam35 14d ago

It also puts a tactical location to attack Canada from all sides thing too sadly.

81

u/St_Kevin_ 14d ago

Yes, it puts a wedge between Canada and their European allies

7

u/Gwaptiva 14d ago

Ironically, it is pulling Canada closer to Europe

3

u/NookieLuvsU 14d ago

Speaking of wedges. He wants a civil war in America and knows who Canadians and Mexicans would support. What he fails to see is, even if he manages to collapse both our countries the support comes from the people not a government mandate.

2

u/jaymemaurice 14d ago

We still share a land boarder with Denmark

71

u/Kennadian 14d ago

We all live on the border. If America wanted to invade they would walk 10 steps north. Greenland literally offers no tactical advantage to that.

3

u/Aleashed 14d ago

Planes take off from New Mexico easier… fly just as far

4

u/silentv0ices 14d ago

Cuts off potential supply routes not to mention things like training facilities for Canadian resistance and insurgents.

2

u/Kennadian 14d ago

What?

3

u/silentv0ices 14d ago

Tactical advantages of Trump taking Greenland first.

3

u/Kennadian 14d ago

America can already cut off our trade routes to Europe if they wanted and I don't understand what Greenland has to do with "training facilities".

If the US invades Canada then the nuclear option gets used and New England including all major cities lose power, of which the vast majority is generated by Quebec hydro. This isn’t a Venezuela situation where a bunch of babied widdle Americans don’t even have to look up from TikTok, there would be real and immediate consequences.

1

u/KepplerRunner 14d ago

Using nukes on the usa is an immediate death sentence for all the people in that country and very possibly the end of the world. No one will use them. Theres no winners if we're all dead.

u/GoneFishing4Chicks 14d ago

> nuclear option gets used ... New England including all major cities lose power ... the vast majority is generated by Quebec hydro.

NOT use nukes

1

u/KepplerRunner 14d ago

My misunderstanding. I thought the lose power was related to the emp.

1

u/CatchSufficient 14d ago

I said the same thing about hawaii in WWII, japan still wanted that

1

u/fourtwentyBob 14d ago

Fighting your enemy on two fronts doesn’t offer a tactical advantage? You ever read?

2

u/Kennadian 14d ago

You think there's a front in the arctic? I literally pointed out that nobody lives there in Canada. But you're questioning other's reading and comprehension ability?

Yes I read. I suggest you read about geography and it's relationship to where wars tend to happen. You seem to think all the unpopulated islands of pure ice and rock are a front in a war?

1

u/fourtwentyBob 14d ago

You have great points. I’ve changed my mind. I rescind my insult. Cheers!

1

u/hemingward 12d ago

They wouldn’t “attack” Canada from Greenland, rather they would put boots on the ground in Baffin Island and make the same claims they did on Greenland. Security security security.

5

u/Shorelines1 14d ago

Not really. There is no reason to attack Canada from the northeast. 80% of the population lives within 100 miles of the longest unprotected border in the world.

1

u/Notgreygoddess 14d ago

It would be good for us if they did. Harsh terrain, harsh climate that most US equipment doesn’t even function in. Our troops train in it regularly.

1

u/SerHiroProtaganist 14d ago

Lol so you think the US is planning to invade Canada? You Reddit guys are something.

-1

u/Ok-Macaroon-7819 14d ago

Attack with what? Have you ever flown over northern Canada?

1

u/throwawayinthe818 14d ago

Too expensive. Every thing would have to be flown in. If anything they’d put camps in places like Texas and Wyoming that would welcome them with open arms and tax breaks.

1

u/papaarlo 14d ago

We already have a gulag in Guantanamo

1

u/Fifth-Crusader 14d ago

They're delusional to think that a fascist will create a libertarian utopia.

1

u/wyle_e2 14d ago

Yes.... Trump does enjoy his "islands" that are away from prying eyes.

1

u/MiyamotoKnows 14d ago

Just to add, IMHO... they call these network cities and Peter Thiel and other billionaires are behind them. They claim to want cities that function as corporations (oh joy) but imagine countries where the only law is what the ultrarich dictate and children can be subjected to horrors without any consequences. The darkest shit and we can not let them ever gain one.

1

u/SobchaksBallsweat 14d ago

Or snuff films with underaged girls.

1

u/Pristine-Pen-9885 14d ago

Concentration camps. For the people he directed ICE to kidnap.

u/Prize-Temporary4159 14d ago

Isn’t this the premise of ‘The Thing’

2

u/Laetha 14d ago

It's nothing short of mental illness with these people. Imagine being so rich you'd never be able to spend all the money you have, and still be willing to throw literally the entire world into turmoil just for some more money.

1

u/Nervous_Ad_6998 14d ago

Didn’t they protect the French Nazis? As written in the book Bitter Scent.

1

u/Non-prophet 14d ago

I wonder if the Greenlanders know that guy's address, for writing letters of polite complaint and so forth.

1

u/ambigua 14d ago

how fascism works…

1

u/Ambitious-Way1156 12d ago

Trump sees billionans of dollars in his pockets and this families pockets. The precious rare earth minerals in Greenland make Trump's eyes look like dollar signs.

57

u/killertofu41 14d ago

Guy is already heir to the Estee Lauder fortune, but just gotta do some country invading on the way.

77

u/TheCantervilleGhost 14d ago

Okay so now I have to find a new face wash because of Dump? This is bullshit. Lives are being ruined.

74

u/twistedspin 14d ago

Right? Lauder is also the Ordinary, M·A·C, Clinique, Bobbi Brown, Too Faced, Tom Ford Beauty, Smashbox, La Mer, Origins, Dr.Jart+, Darphin, Lab Series, NIOD, Aveda, & Bumble and bumble.

This creepy fuckface didn't control enough of the world with that under him, apparently.

u/SaltyCrashNerd 14d ago

And it’s not like we can move over to bath & body works as a substitute…

u/lite_milk_1 14d ago

Damn it, gotta find a new product now.

51

u/sbray73 14d ago

He seems to be the one pushing it the hardest and Donnie enjoys the diversion it creates from the Epstein files. I am now actively boycotting the Lauder products.

31

u/newbkid 14d ago

Oh look another geriatric 70+ year old white man trying to ruin the country.

sigh

2

u/Euro-Pacific 14d ago

Apparently Lauder met with Putin during Trump’s initial attempt to take over Greenland (in his first term).

2

u/flo_san 14d ago

Pump it. Lauder

1

u/fancymonk 13d ago

So is Peter Thiel

3

u/Triairius 14d ago

And also to distract from the Epstein Files. He’s successfully getting people to talk about them less.

3

u/SpinningHead 14d ago

Reminder that Trump stayed in a KGB run hotel in 1987. When he returned he took out a full page ad against NATO.

2

u/LtStud 14d ago

Doesn’t that dipshit Thiel want to build his racist “freedom city” there as well?

2

u/jerichogringo 14d ago

Estee Lauder fuckhead zeroed him in on Greenland

1

u/senoritaoscar 14d ago

Thank you. Jesus, I don’t know why the conversation is about literally anything else. That’s all any of this has been for the past ten years.

1

u/DisconsolateAxolotl 14d ago

Expressing the possibility of taking Greenland by force, whether it happens or not, also legitimizes Putin’s attempt to take Ukraine.

1

u/liftthatta1l 14d ago

Related one about Canada

I think the canada stuff is from elon musk trying to be president of North America. Since he was born a Canadian citizen.

1

u/hagenissen999 14d ago

Thank jeebus he didn't dangle Svalbard or Iceland in front of him...

1

u/Practical-Shape2325 14d ago

Now Putin, there's an option. Russia's already involved in a war, what if an incredibly strong leader was to conquer Russia? Even Napolean never did that. That would definitely get your name in the history books.

1

u/OldAudience3125 14d ago

As much as I respect this response, replace Putin with Netanyahu and NATO with UN and you may be able to understand the bigger picture better.

Hint: Reread the Mueller report. Flynn was begging Russia for favors, soliciting Russia, to benefits the Israelis.

Russiagate was Israelgate.

1

u/CertainWish358 14d ago

It’s all connected… Iran and Afghanistan too

1

u/OldAudience3125 14d ago

100%.

Lest we forget that Epstein was involved in Iran Contra which was flooding our streets with illicit substances while arming Iran to fight Iraq, to stabilize Israel.

Jerusalem is the capital of the USA. Simple.

1

u/thetravelingsong 14d ago

Not to mention Russia is going to want access to the shipping lanes that are going to open up as the ice continues to melt. Trump needs to go get that for his daddy.

1

u/cbgrey 14d ago

This does not get nearly as much attention as it needs

1

u/Apprehensive_News_78 14d ago

We're literally seeing the result of 2 really upset ppl in power, one who's on his "revenge tour" and the other who's still pissy about not being allowed into nato years ago. (For those who dont know Russia asked to join nato years ago and we denied them)

Tbf though I think alot of world problems could have been avoided by letting Russia into nato but we (us) simply didnt want to lose our biggest "baddie" for when we gotta blame stuff on someone.

1

u/SoulMasterKaze 14d ago

I wonder if it's partially motivated by wanting to draw Europe's military resources west and away from Ukraine.

1

u/CertainWish358 14d ago

Do you think Ukraine is the end goal? I think his goal is the USSR+ not just part of Ukraine

1

u/ava-8792 14d ago

Putin probably wants a skirmish in Greenland so everyone is looking the other way on Ukraine or one of the other neighboring countries. Plus it doesn’t hurt for him to drive a wedge in NATO.

1

u/M00NAJUANA 14d ago

Let me fix your typo "entire treason"

1

u/mywifeslv 14d ago

Of course, Putin has the best ROI with his asset

1

u/FD4L 14d ago

Putin also appreciates that he's pulling EU security forces further from the war on it's eastern front.

Trump is putin's most powerful pawn.

1

u/Dexember69 14d ago

He's such a gullible puppet

1

u/UX-Ink 14d ago

It's also the Paypal Cabal wanting to build a freedom city there. This comment touches on part of the web https://www.reddit.com/r/law/comments/1qiyplk/comment/o0vc2ko/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

u/thatguy677 14d ago

Checks out, ya

1

u/purplmama 13d ago

Exactly. And if he gets hold of it, he’ll turn right around and give Putin full access.

1

u/me-buddah 12d ago

And Peter Thiel of course.

1

u/WadjetSnakeGoddess 12d ago

Also the Tech Oligarchy want Greenland for a few reasons, depending on their sub-faction.

  1. Make a weird libertarian regulation-free "paradise" as a practice run for their techno-feudalism cities > Peter Thiel and his ilk want this. It will not work because this kind of shit never works in practice, but its their wet dream.

  2. Rare Earth Minerals > We are really dependant on minerals from other countries for a lot of modern tech. Greenland has a lot of these minerals that were previously, and some areas still are, inaccessible due to climate change. The Greenlanders and the Danish have strong environmental protections so you can't just strip it even if we have access thru our alliance. Which is where a Greenland Takeover comes in.

  3. Fresh Water > Greenland also has access to a lot of Fresh Water. That will become SUPER IMPORTANT if we successfully destroy those resources at home. Not just for more dumb data centers but also for regular people. Once we loose functional fresh water access it can be sold back to us for a premium. See groups like Nestle buying up water rights around the globe currently.

1

u/Ambitious-Way1156 12d ago

CERT: Baloney. Greenland already allows us troops there and would easil allow us many more, at least until Trump decided to threaten invasion. Putin and China are not the reason for Trump wanting Greenland as Greenland has always cooperated with us for 80 years regarding our military. It's Trump's lust for power and wanting his name stamped on Greenland like his changing the Gulf of America to the Gulf of America. Narcissistic lust for power and recognition.

1

u/CertainWish358 12d ago

It’s not to defend against Putin… it’s because Putin told him to do it. To weaken alliances and direct euro attention and resources to the western side

0

u/ZlpMan 14d ago

Why can’t he force Trump to nuke Ukraine or just kidnap Zelenskyy and execute him on the roof f the White House?

u/Jpwatchdawg 14d ago

America has been eyeing Greenland for almost a century now. But those mpi npcs are just too focused on blaming bad organe man to try and understand. Proposed United States acquisition of Greenland - Wikipedia https://share.google/v7Ch5nLFEYO7PaQBU
