Also from your link as you scroll down to the 5:03 pm highlights:

Donald Trump has suggested the only limit on his power, particularly when it comes to foreign policy, is his “own morality”. That’s it. He said he “doesn’t need international law” to constrain him.

. The United States Director of National Intelligence is usually central to the planning and execution of something like this. It involves the CIA, spies on the ground, intercepting communications, satellite imagery, etc. This is her purview as the principal intelligence advisor to the President. And she was kept out of it.

So who actually is running the intelligence community if its not her?

It seems to me the White House must be relying on military intelligence, and Rubio's sources in the State department. As well as people who aren't even in the government at all.

IMO, Trump has made it clear that this time round, he won't be relying on government 'officials'. They are 'bloat' and 'the swamp' that prevented him from doing what he wanted in his first term.

Why is it up to the EU to stop Americans from doing exactly as they please? Why are they supposed to fight and die in a war they cannot win, in order to gain nothing?

Because it's the right thing to do.

It's the same nonsense that he played with Venzuela. Do what I want, or I will use military aggression. Today, the threat is that Denmark must sell Greenland to the US, or the US will use military aggression.

Yes. Trump has said that the world should be divided into three parts by Russia, China and the USA. The USA would control the whole Western Hemisphere. That's the plan folks. Canada would be a very difficult country to control though because over 90% of us don't want to be under US control. Also, we have such an enormous land mass, are used to our climate and most of the population would be willing to sabotage the US military at every turn.

Agreed! And I do think other members of NATO would come to our defense here in Canada, particularly the UK and Australia who we have close ties with. But it is Greenland at the moment who he has eyes on, even though the US already has a longtime military base there and has closed down several others there over the years. So the excuse of 'national security' is bogus in my opinion, as the US is welcomed to provide military support there already. IMO Trump is after their resources more than anything. I hope the US Congress starts keeping him in check more!

..."We'll worry about Greenland in about two months. Let's talk about Greenland in 20 days."

Two months equals 20 days? Only in Trumpland.

To die for Greenland? Even during the heyday of the European world wars and revolutions, IMO no one would have responded to that rallying cry.

No, not just Greenland, but to save the USA from taking over other countries. In other words, to save democracy. As far as Canada, I believe the majority of us are willing to die to keep our country free.

*IF* Trump actually went after Greenland militarily, he will certainly continue to other countries. History has seen this before.

That's just how he talks. Infrastructure Week was two weeks away, perpetually.

Two weeks, 20 days, two months....none of means anything other than he doesn't want to be pinned down in a conversation at that moment.

Yes. For sure he will try buying them first. I don't think he'll invade Canada because I doubt the average American, even his base voters, want that. However, he has 3 more years to work with, if not more, if he can stop elections.

Yes. For sure he will try buying them first. (You see I'm using 'them' and not 'it' because this is not just a land mass, but involves people/the citizens.) I don't think he'll invade Canada because I doubt the average American, even his base voters, want that. However, he has 3 more years to work with, if not more, if he can stop elections.

He can't purchase without Congress providing the funds. That's not going to happen.

In December 2024, Trump offered to buy/compensate Canadians if they agreed to join the US.

Although I can't find the link, I recall that the offer included that each Canadian dollar would be replaced with US dollars - equal value. He also promised that Canadian taxes would be reduced by 60%. That sounded good to some, until they realized that they would no longer have national health care, national dental plan, and many other quality of life benefits that are absent in the US.

Anything that the US government offers Greenlanders will sound good on the surface, but the fine print will reveal that their quality of life will be severely compromised. Their environmental protections will be wiped out. Their land will be destroyed and contaminated so the US can get rich.

"Trump fired off a rapid volley of three dozen posts through the day, with his Christmas messages directly addressing "radical left lunatics" and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, "whose Citizens' Taxes are far too high."
...

The president-elect again called Trudeau the "governor" of Canada, saying if the country became "our 51st State, their Taxes would be cut by more than 60%" and "their businesses would immediately double in size."

Trump also doubled down on his threats to demand US control of the Panama Canal, buying Greenland and annexing Canada. | World News
