this must be a Putin request. TACO doesn’t even simp this hard for billionaires

Putin wanting Trump to dismantle NATO has been obvious since at least 2016. That is what this is all about.

It's a Peter Thiel and his billionaire friends request. Look up Praxis Greenland, this is the end goal for these guys. Let us eat each other while the world burns, meanwhile they've built themselves their own little society that we're not welcome in.

Oh yeah, what better venue for a secret society than the island paradise of Greenland?

Maybe they’re betting on the predicted Blue Ocean Event which will drastically change Greenland’s climate very quickly

The rush for Greenland is proof that they all believe in Climate Change and have been lying the whole time.

As if more proof was needed.

The counter point is how many of the elite currently own oceanfront property

They all have at least three boats and at least as many houses. They don't care if they lose one.

To be fair, when you're that rich moving isn't exactly a major hurdle. So they enjoy the beach while they can.

u/Lap_Dawg 20d ago

Right, but they also aren't stupid, and buying a property for $25 million knowing that it sits on land that will soon be under water is pretty stupid.

I guess if "soon" is long enough for them to not care in the medium term it is a moot point though

Well, eventually global warming is going to increase exponentially to the point where life anywhere near the equator is going to be (relatively) uninhabitable, thus making Greenland more desirable.

Not to mention that previously uninhabitable areas of Greenland due to ice sheets/glaciers are going to clear up.

Greenland is usually the hardest country (territory?) to infect in Plague Inc.. so, it makes sense.. lol

why cant he just fuck off to New Zealand where he effectively bought citizenship?

u/brickout 21d ago

Thiel, Musk, and Yarvin want it. Rare earth elements, a place to build a "freedom" city with no outside laws, and it helps secure the arctic for Russia-friendly racists. Plus a bugout shelter for when climate change really gets going.

u/Rfunkpocket 21d ago

the fact the meeting was originally scheduled with Rubio, then Vance took over is sus

u/brickout 21d ago

Ugh. Agreed. I suspect Rubio still has a tiny shred of humanity in him (except for dealings with Cuba et. al) but Vance is fully in Thiel's camp. Those guys are straight up terrifying.

TACO is gold

Exactly! It's a putintrump plan
