    There's an interesting history there that I was largely ignorant of:
    Since 1867, the United States has considered, or made, several proposals to purchase the island of Greenland from Denmark, as it did with the Danish West Indies in 1917. While Greenland remains an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, a 1951 treaty gives the United States much control over an island it once partially claimed from exploration.

    My choice of third person pronouns for myself is generally irrelevant. I'm not typically involved in the conversations that use them. It's other people referring to me in the third person, usually from a distance. I'm not a conversational partner in those exchanges. Those people could be referring to me as "That A$$hole" or "That Motherfukker" for all I know.

    If they fail to develop their country, at least sell it to people that will.
    I just want objectivity on this forum and will point out flawed sources or points of view at my leisure.

    Well yeah, let us at that 52 billion barrels of oil equivalent that's in the offshore waters. And there's probably a whole hellava lot more if we could just melt those glaciers that are covering it.

    Whatever happened to that libertarian philosophy of letting the people living there decide what to do with it? Has anyone asked the Greenlanders what they want to do? The Inuit Ataqatigiit party came into power in 2021 and are independence-minded. However, the people of Greenland are rather left-leaning, particularly environmentally, so I suspect they won't be too accommodating to outside influences wanting to exploit their resources.

    I'm sure that the Greenlanders, being Danish citizens, would jump at the chance of exchanging the most popular socialist system in the world for the free-market slave jungle of the US.

    Take a good look at a rural Alaska village to see what a "freedom" economy has in store.

    In all fairness, most Danes already speak English and have better literacy than the average boobus here.

    That's not libertarian philosophy at all. It's socialist or third way (not left or right), but it's certainly not capitalist, free-market democracy.
    In a capitalist, free-market system, money rules. Libertarians are activists for the rights of corporations and offshore bank accounts.

    Those with the most money and power have issued so much money to themselves and their cabal that they RAN OUT of places to own. The only places they don't own are the few remaining independent states (made into enemies of the USA), or restricted areas, like Antarctica and tiny segments of unsettled areas, protected areas. You know, Western Sahara was one, they scored it recently. Greenland, although technically still part of the Danish Crown (remnant of Christian monarchist age), was granted indigenous rule, for its own matters, by the Crown. Still, it's the crown's decision on what to do wth Greenland.

    For centuries, non-Christian capital and communism waged revolution and regime change against the Catholic and Protestant kingdoms. Sometimes by force, sometimes by growth of power and influence. We're in the late stage now. So, if you're a lib, ("classical liberal"), you don't stand for "man on the land" rights, you don't give two hoots about some scrotty tribes and their folk tales. Unless they are one of you. A rare exception. So, be consistent. Be a libertarian and let them buy Greenland or force their way in militarily or otherwise with the mammon power and the boss mode. Fountainhead.

    So, basically, Trump wants the North American Union.
    There is nothing to fear from globalism, free trade and a single worldwide currency, but a globalism where free trade is competitively subsidized by each nation, a continuous trade war is dictated by the WTO, and the single currency is pure fiat, fear is justified. That type of globalism is destined to collapse into economic despair, inflationism and protectionism and managed by resurgent militant nationalism.

    Libertarians don't believe in borders either. Ron Paul calls it walls for restricting people and goods. Has RPF come full circle and borders = good?

    The elimination of borders is not the problem in and of itself. It's the sweeping together of larger and larger areas under the jurisdiction of a central regime.

    That said, while I plead guilty to being a libertarian, I doubt the other person you replied to is.

    Don't you remember? That was a major issue during the election. It's what everyone based their vote on. It's an election "mandate". We have always wanted a greater United States of North America.

    Trump is a representative of the corporate state with corporate state and financial elite allegiances.

    I strongly urge Greenlanders and Norwegians to bond together and reject the plans to militarize and steal their resources
    and the last places on Earth that are spared from our destruction and the avaricious wants of mentally-deranged plutocrats.

    Does anyone remember that guy who foresaw the assassination attempt right down to which ear??? He also said Trump would win the Presidency. And then unify the currency of the US, Mexico and Canada... After a great economic crash.

    Authoritarian turns out to be expansionist. Libertarians astonished. Nobody could have foreseen this. "Its worth it as long as little girls are being inspected before using the bathroom, women should always carry state ID" Says Outspoken member of libertarian forum.
    In New Zealand:
    The Coastguard is a Charity
    Air Traffic Control is a private company run on user fees
    The DMV is a private non-profit
    Rescue helicopters and ambulances are operated by charities and are plastered with corporate logos
    The agriculture industry has zero subsidies
    5% of the national vote, gets you 5 seats in Parliament
    A tax return has 4 fields
    Business licenses aren't a thing
    Prostitution is legal
    We have a constitutional right to refuse any type of medical care

    There is some potential strategic reasoning behind trying to acquire a place such as Greenland as a territory. Keep in mind, China is going across swaths of the middle east, Africa, and South America now buying their influence. If China "gets" to Greenland first in some capacity, the potential minerals there will go to them.

    China, contrary to what many bone-headed libertarians believe, is a nemesis to liberty just as the U.S. regime is. China is not to be trusted anymore than the U.S. regime is, however, we live in the U.S. so it bears to be a better thing for it to be in our sphere of influence.

    I also think Trump is just talking out of his ass, as usual. I don't think he genuinely intends to pursue these things in sincerity. And here's a great reason adding them as "states" would be the worst idea ever:

    He's really just taking the piss on behalf of the other morons running Mexico and Canada.

    Only if they are stupid. Same for Greeneland.

    But the thing is that if they bought mineral and oil rights to Greeneland, that would actually make a lot of sense. And no, it shouldn't be the govt doing it, it should be private industry.

    Yes, if one wants to be an empire, having bases globally makes a lot of sense of course.

    Yes, all governments are bad, some worse than others. But the Chinese government is practically no threat to Americans in America.
