Anyone watching the news lately has seen Trumpy dropping the bombshell...
He plans to annex Greenland, all in the name of national securityHe plans to annex Greenland, all in the name of national security
A quick search of SN for Greenland reveals that there are a few posts and this has been on the agenda for a while
#872246
One from @denlillaapan
#877641
He's got the White House drawing up acquisition strategies and what looks like hush money to Greenlanders and outright threats of military muscle if Denmark doesn't play ball
There is talk of a Greenland Statehood Act authorizing the US to snatch the world's largest island
So why is Trump so fixated on Greenland like it's the next shitcoin grift?So why is Trump so fixated on Greenland like it's the next shitcoin grift?
Well what'd'ya know who's already got skin in the game years before this annexation
None other than our tech overlords themselves, big man Bezos, the almighty Zuck, Sam ai Altman and yet more 1%ers including Elon's best pal Thiel
They have just obviously coincidentally or accidentally invested in KoBold Metals an AI mining firm that's been sniffing around Greenland's deposits for a 'while'
Funnily enough they have already secured their place, ready to extract the very resources that will fuel their AI empires and data center dynasties
Are you telling me this is just savvy investing?Are you telling me this is just savvy investing?
Or did someone whisper in Trump's ear about the untold riches, while the elites positioned themselves to profit from the annexing?
A shadowy alliance of Big Tech bankrolls the tech to find the goods, good ol' Trump provides the mainstream narrative to secure the land, and poof just like that the US has one over on Shiner
Keep stacking stackers, this convenience is just the tip of the iceberg pun intended
The security implications have been discussed for decades, we've had military there since at least WW2
Truman tried to buy it outright in 46
Greenland defense agreement codified in 51
Upgraded in 2004 under missile shield initiative
More meetings with Denmark by Clinton as Obama Sec of State in 2010-2013
Trump's been consistent since pre-V1
The pussy-footing hasn't been working, Russian subs loose in the North Atlantic and China mining it...
So now the IC/defense media apparatus has been spelling it out pretty clearly:
view on x.comIce breaker passage now more viable... trade routes.
Minerals isn't even that valuable to the US, they're available in lots of places... refining is the real bottleneck.
TDS destroyed again.
NATO: Tell Denmark to get them out of here, NOW! Two dogsleds won’t do it! Only the USA can!!!
Danish intel warned last year about Russian and Chinese military goals toward Greenland and Arctic (https://justthenews.com/government/security/danish-intel-warned-about-russian-and-chinese-military-ambitions-toward/)
I really hope this is the planned dismantling of NATO
China controls 90 percent of this step: refining and converting to metallic compound
almost all of the rare earth refining experts are Chinese, some are working or studying at American universities
Darn it JS with your factually correct knowledge 😇
Bitcoin and NatSec are inextricably part of one another, possibly the most exciting time to be alive
Yeah, I was going to comment that corrupt insidery stuff can just as easily flow the other direction.
These billionaires catch wind of the annexation plans early and invest accordingly.

Oil.. all about oil guys. Sad to see happening again and again.
Greenland is not Venezuela, not about oil
The wealth of nations and their citizens is as @justin_shocknet kindly explains, highly related to their power projection capacity.
All the high and lofty talk about free markets and capitalism is secondary and subsidiary to brute military force.
USA wealth and power is highly reliant upon its use of military force and the threat of use of military force.
Interesting is how Trump and fellow US exceptionalists call global climate change a hoax and yet the rationale for annexing Greenland rests upon the reality of climate change!
The extraction of mineral resources and much increased utility of nearby shipping lanes is only possible because the ice is melting!
