    In every situation I'm aware of re. Denmark/Greenland, all we have to do is ask and the answer is always "yes". Maybe there's some larger play here, but I seriously doubt it. President Troll.

    That is the really crazy part for people with any sense of the history here. Denmark has always been one of our closest allies post-World War II. Heck, they even volunteered for Iraq when most of the continent of Europe was (it turns out, correctly) telling us to kick rocks about getting them involved in that mess. Heck, they celebrate the 4th of July there.

    If Bill Clinton could take Kosovo from Russia's little brother Serbia why can't Trump take Greenland from Denmark if Greenland"s citizens want to do the deal?

    How is stealing another country’s land “worthy of discussion,” particularly when it’s one of our strongest allies?

    France has come out and said they would intervene militarily in Greenland on Denmark's behalf to protect the EU. But hey, we're just negotiating!

    Splintering NATO would be the best news Putin could ever get.
