    Donald Duck doesn't care about being remembered, he wants to be the center of fucking attention. Until somebody smacks the idiot down hard and tells him to shut the fuck up, he will haunt American politics for the rest of his days.

    It's not a troll. That is my genuine opinion. If a right wing person is upset they are more likely than a teary one to become violent. Not all will of course but it goes with gun culture and white rights.

    There are things you do when a line is crossed. It's a macho culture, and your joke on tears show it. It implies you would not do that.

    We bought all the Midwest down to the coast from France and Alaska from Russia.

    Times may have changed a lot since then. But people haven't so much.

    Yeah true.

    We have enough money to make it happen I guess. It's just a sad attack on sovereignty to me. These alt-right people love Scandinavian countries. So under their logic why should we invade their culture? We should stick to our own land and leave the white and of course peaceful nation alone.

    If Greenland wanted to become a state like Purto Rico sure they can join. But it's mostly a tribal population there. They were there even before Vikings. They don't want white men.

    Greenland, like Europe, Asia and Africa, is just a hoax. Only North and South America actually exist. The government wants us to believe the rest of the "world" exists so they can take our money to either defend against imaginary enemies or to donate to imaginary allies. There is no evidence Greenland exists. It's just computer generated bullshit.

    Eh, I try not to look at everything from a left/right dynamic. If it were possible and not just the fevered dream of a madman, it would just be a legit good investment. Greenland's big and bound to get warmer.

    France gave us the deal of lifetime, because they had domestic problems and wanted the US to help them fight the British. Since it was actually Native American lands to begin with, and they could still trap on it or whatever, it never mattered. Russia merely conceded Alaska, because they knew damned well the US would eventually occupy the territory no matter what the fuck they said. Good fences make for good neighbors and, in Russia's case, they have so much territory it used to span 11 time zones. That's a lot of fence, and they decided they had a better chance of selling it off cheap instead. Canada didn't have the money.

    Currently both Antarctica and the moon are claimed in the name of the entire world, but we'll see how long that lasts.

    Well you know, that beachfront property, in North Korea, is taking a little longer to get.

    They're waiting for flying cars to take over the market, because putting in roads through all those mountains would take forever. However, there's gold in them thar hills, while Afghanistan has the richest deposits of rare earths. If you think for a second that the Pentagon has not figured out exactly how they would like to carve up the entire planet, over the next half century or so, I recommend the CIA website. Global warming is changing real estate values dramatically, and I suggest doing a lot of research before investing. Platinum may crash the heavy metals markets if asteroid mining becomes feasible soon, so its always best to diversify your portfolio off planet.

    I suggest paying close attention to all the import items listed as "Vital the National Defense". Its about 450 items, so you might ask the CIA for advice on what it means. As the rich get richer and the poor poorer, land is suddenly up for grabs if you are a shrewd investor.

    This pretty much sums up what most Greenlanders think.

    TASIILAQ, Greenland — In this coastal town of about 2,000 people in eastern Greenland, residents weren't sure whether to believe the news:
    Could President Donald Trump really be serious about wanting to buy Greenland?


    “I think we take it as a sick joke by a crazy president," said Anna Kûitse Kúko, 63, who has lived in Tasiilaq nearly all of her life and teaches English here.
    The remark was one of several from local residents who reacted with a mixture of mockery and anger

    Could be they want that in the end. But not everyone who wants independence get it.

    But Australia is an island, and it's floating north ever so slowly.

    I know a man who was born in the Marshal Islands. He is white and treated well in mainland America, much better than Puerto Ricans.
