The arctic is being extensively colonized by the Chinese and the russians.
Trumps duty is to safeguard american access to the minerals and resources of the arctic.
He offered to buy greenland.

Sounds like a very strategic move

Sure does. And what did the owners say?

He has Alaska as a state. Otherwise, Airport Road, Maine is his northern boundary. Trump Tower is his. Venezuela and Greenland belong to another guy. Federal law says larceny, broadly defined as stealing property is wrongful taking.

Greenland is the size of SA and the NT combined, with a population of Wagga Wagga.

It could never be an independent country.

Really?

So which country does the territory of Greenland belong to, old chap?

Please explain?

Oh?! It 'belongs to, eh? Colonialism hasn't ended too soon after all.

Salute the master, paki..

It will never ever happen, no matter how much Trump complains. Denmark is part of NATO and there's no way Trump will move against an ally in NATO. There's more chance of Trump jumping from the roof of the White House than him invading or taking over Greenland.

They used to say Trump will never be president, how did that go?.

Belongs to in the colonial sense, paki arse sniffer.

There is no other sense in which it can 'belong', ya gibbering paki.

Suddenly, you are all for colonialism continuing.

Thank you for standing up for Danish colonialism, paki. Ten rupee and a banana. Have two.

Why would that be, Frank?

You were grimacing inconsolably when I said colonialism ended too soon.

Now you are very eager for Danish colonialism to continue and NOT end.

Thank you for your support, paki, I will always remember it. It can be hard to justify colonialism in this age but you and I agree for once - Danish colonialism is a GOOD THING.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You can't give a straight answer, can you?

I do feel you may have English as a second language. It's the only explanation one can assume for your verbose incredulity.

May one ask which country you're from?

Cheers.
