Paraphrasing Trump.
How stupid is that comment?
If he has the ability to stop Russia and China from taking over Greenland, why doesn't he help our allies defend it?
What is he saying?
It doesn't make any sense.

"If we don't take it, someone else will."
I don't think his brain works very well. What's worse, he can't even articulate it. I doubt his base even knows "why we want it."

Seriously, I dont think much of the Russian navy these days. What is still happening in the Black Sea when the Russian navy squared off against a weaker, under-equipped opponent (and got sunk) makes me think that the Russians would fare far worse if they sortied out of the White Sea or their home ports in the Baltic and faced off against European fleets.
This is con-man BS coming from the corrupt clique in the White House.

(25,585 posts)The American people as to why we need, want it. Thus, you get the word salad Scott Bessent presented this weekend. It doesn't make sense. It will never make sense. Trump is a greedy stupid person with no oral, values, or love to offer. He is an empty soul. Fear what he will do the next three years

TRUMP IS AND HAS BEEN FOR DECADES LITERALLY AFRAID FOR HIS LIFE, BECAUSE HE OWES BILLIONS TO PUTIN & THE RUSSIAN MOB OLIGARCHS! REMEMBER: ERIC SPILLED THE BEANS ABOUT LOANS.
PLUS, PUTIN HAS THE EPSTEIN INFO AS WELL AS HIS OWN KGB MOSCOW EVIDENCE.
So---Next time you wonder why Trump stole Top Secret documents; why he invaded Venezuela and took the money/oil; why he wants Putin on this bogus "Board of Peace" (aka, go in and loot war-torn nations); why money goes unaccounted for....
That's why.
Trump is no more loyal to Russia than he is to the United States. He doesn't care about Russia! He CARES about himself and those open windows and special umbrellas!
