That's exactly how governments view people. And both places have the population of Okotoks, so it's not like Gaza or post Ww2 border shifts.
Besides, the Inuit have no loyalty to Denmark, the most recent poll was 84% of Greenlanders supported independence, which isnprobably close to 100% of the Inuit there. I doubt the Inuit in Nunavut have any loyalty to Canada either. These places would quickly become third world if left to their own devices. Let someone else carry the burden.

Not like we're doing anything with it.

It's actually crazy how ignorant this is.

Are you trolling in this thread or just this stupid?

[Coach]

That's a new angle. "You don't even want this thing that I very clearly want! I'll take it for you, no worries. Just being a friend, not a problem."

This is what happens when you combine spreadsheet brain with zero moral imagination. Talking about entire cultures like they're a bad line item on a quarterly report. "They'd become third world if left to their own devices" isn't edgy realism, it's reheated 19th-century imperial racism.

You're not brave or a free-speech warrior for saying this stuff, you're predictable. Every post you've made reads like it was factory assembled from Reddit or X threads. You're a comment section NPC who thinks owning opinions means you don't have to understand them.

‘Comment Section NPC’ would be a good custom title for this n00b.

At least four leaders of a Justice Department unit that investigates police killings have resigned in protest over the administration’s handling of the fatal shooting of a motorist in Minneapolis by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer, according to three people briefed on the departures.#

Top leaders of the criminal section of the Civil Rights Division have left their jobs to register their frustration with the department after the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon decided not to investigate the ICE officer’s#fatal shooting of Renee Good#last week.#The criminal section of the division would normally investigate#any fatal shooting by a law enforcement officer and specializes in probing potential or alleged abuse or improper use of force by law enforcement.#

The departures – including that of the chief of the section, as well as the principal deputy chief, deputy chief and acting deputy chief#


Dhillon is like the female version of Miller

The actual numbers that we would have to pay back if, for any reason, the Supreme Court were to rule against the United States of America on Tariffs, would be many Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, and that doesn’t include the amount of “payback” that Countries and Companies would require for the Investments they are making on building Plants, Factories, and Equipment, for the purpose of being able to avoid the payment of Tariffs. When these Investments are added, we are talking about Trillions of Dollars! It would be a complete mess, and almost impossible for our Country to pay. Anybody who says that it can be quickly and easily done would be making a false, inaccurate, or totally misunderstood answer to this very large and complex question. It may not be possible but, if it were, it would be Dollars that would be so large that it would take many years to figure out what number we are talking about and even, who, when, and where, to pay. Remember, when America shines brightly, the World shines brightly. In other words, if the Supreme Court rules against the United States of America on this National Security bonanza, WE’RE SCREWED!

You just told on yourself, traitor. GTFO.

Again: state charges. Look up Tina Peters. He pardoned her too - still in jail on a 9 year sentence, unless the governor decides to let her out.

Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev said Greenlanders could vote to join Russia if U.S. President Donald Trump did not move quickly to secure the Arctic island, Interfax reported on Monday.


“Trump needs to hurry. According to unverified information, in a few days there could be a sudden referendum, at which the entire 55,000-strong Greenland could vote to join Russia," Interfax reported, quoting Medvedev, a former Russian president.

LOL, come on. "Hey, Russia. Maybe you could threaten to own Greenland so my rants make more sense. I asked China, but they just keep saying 'Taiwan.' Would ya do it for me? I need some urgency. I'll give you another month of silence about Ukraine".


What a ####ing stack of bull#### they are trying to sell.

I thought our Geologist friend said that Russia isn't playing Trump like a fiddle?
Clearly Russia's statement mission is to destroy NATO, and clearly this statement is meant to egg the ##### grabbing old rapists in to attacking NATO from inside the house.

The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.

The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.

That is a war crime called "perfidy."

[puffnstuff]

Sen. Kelly has sued Kegsbreath in regards to his threats, statement here.

Pete Hegseth is coming after what I earned through my twenty-five years of military service, in violation of my rights as an American, as a retired veteran, and as a United States Senator whose job is to hold him—and this or any administration—accountable. His unconstitutional crusade against me sends a chilling message to every retired member of the military: if you speak out and say something that the President or Secretary of Defense doesn’t like, you will be censured, threatened with demotion, or even prosecuted.

Every servicemember knows military rank is earned, not given. It's earned through the risks you take, the sacrifices you and your family make, the leadership you display, and the respect you earn from the superiors who recommend you for promotion. From the moment I drove through the gates of Naval Air Station Pensacola, to when I was shot at over Iraq and Kuwait, to when I landed Space Shuttle Endeavour on its last mission, I gave everything I had to this country and I earned my rank of Captain, United States Navy.

Now, Pete Hegseth wants our longest-serving military veterans to live with the constant threat that they could be deprived of their rank and pay years or even decades after they leave the military just because he or another Secretary of Defense doesn’t like what they’ve said. That’s not the way things work in the United States of America, and I won’t stand for it.

In 1986, at just 22 years old, I took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution. I have fulfilled that oath every day since, but I never expected that I would have to defend it against a Secretary of Defense or President. But I’ve never shied away from a fight for our country, and I won’t shy away from this one. Because our freedom of speech, the separation of powers, and due process are not just words on a page, they are bedrock principles of our democracy that has lasted 250 years and will last 250 more as long as patriotic Americans are willing to stand up for our rights.

So today, I have filed a lawsuit against the Secretary of Denfense because there are few things as important as standing up for the rights of the very Americans who fought to defend our freedoms.

When they put fascist slogans on their podiums, I don't think you can in any way deny they have embrace fascism. I guess this means they want to kill everyone left of them?

[CorsiHockeyLeague]

That slogan is particularly associated with the massacre in the Czech village of Lidice - basically, Czech secret service assassinated a Nazi leader in Prague, and Hitler wanted to kill 10,000 Czechs in response, but was talked down not because that would be horrific but because it would negatively affect manufacturing productivity that they needed to maintain the war effort. So instead, they just exterminated a town - took every female resident and threw them into concentration camps, lined up every man and boy over 15 and shot them, and took the remaining children to various places (again including concentration camps where many of them predictably died later).

So yeah, that's who Noem is quoting here.

Trump to Americans: The day of reckoning and retribution is coming

Trump to Iranians: "Iranian Patriots, KEEP PROTESTING- TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!! Save the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a big price. I have cancelled all meetings with Iranian Officials until the senseless killing of protesters STOPS. HELP IS ON ITS WAY. MIGA!!! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP"
