    I guess that is not enough to provide for our national security? What the heck is this really about. Is it the old 'look over here', while I clean out the bank here at home?

    Who knows what these guys have up their sleeves. From what I've read, there is the location factor; natural resources (minerals, oil & gas); fresh water; and fishing. There's also an interesting history of US interest in it - none of which justify the ham-fisted, mean-spirited, and arrogant way they're talking about it.

    They only know the "Murica Projection", and that is that 'Murica projects power, and other people do what we want. Unless they don't.

    As I understand it historically Denmark has been about as good of an ally and as accommodating as you possibly could be, pretty much letting us do whatever we want there. This whole annexing thing is completely pointless
