I feel like this is where Trump is in his element: dealmaking on the geopolitical scale. If you set aside all the deliberate trolling he’s been doing (and I get tired of that, even while I enjoy the fact that it drives his opponents crazy), he is emerging as having been right on the issue. If he can close the deal, I have no doubts it will be advantageous to us, and to Europe if they allow it to be.

But TRUMP CAN’T POSSIBLY BE RIGHT!!

Which gives one some idea of the problem at hand.

Simply put, it’s a question of definitions (and therefore illogical). Unempirical.
Totally subjective.

Example A (of scads):

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte is ‘a piece of work’.

Greenland has one of the highest suicide rates in the world. Highest among young men. And surprisingly, highest during the summer.

Various explanations are given, but I’ve read nothing particularly convincing. But if it’s young men, perhaps jobs and increased income from American projects might help.

Not even as a goodwill measure, strictly out of honor and dignity, the U.S. ought to return the Cape York meteorite to Greenland.

When you read about U.S. Navy Lieutenant Robert E. Peary’s expedition to bring it to the U.S…. Wow! It reminds me of Harrison Ford in the movie, “Mosquito Coast.” A massive effort for a nonsensical purpose.

I’m banking on irrational hatred of Trump. That side, I get the impression, doesn’t care if the country is destroyed as long as Trump and his supporters are treated like the Jews in Germany during WW2.

If only the indigenous Greenlanders would call themselves northern Somail’s they’d be set for a new life in Minnesota, and already be acclimated. Acculturated is a whole ‘nother kettle of fish …., but that is frowned upon.

But then they would be pining for the fijords in no time, but not in the parrot (or puffin?) sense. Yes, Atlantic Puffins are native to Greenland, not blue though?

Too many people, on the Left and the Right, just can’t get past Trump’s bombast. I don’t like it either, but I do understand it to some extent.

I just now realized that the US, or China, or whoever, could pay every man, woman, and child in Greenland a million dollars to move somewhere else and the total cost would be under $60 billion.

That’s about the cost of the first year of the war in Iraq in 2003.

I’m sure it could be done for less than a million per person, but that would definitely be enough to move them. A family of four could buy a single-family house in Southern California and draw a six figure income on the remainder.

CC is probably more deeply affected by Greenland than China, Roosia, or leftist Europeans, and not in a good way.
