Well, I thought DT was joking about seizing Greenland, but it appears
he's serious! That's quite a bold move to say the least! Leaving aside
the right/wrong debate over such a move, does it not now give China a
free pass to seize the territory first - if it can act fast enough -
since the unthinkable has not only been thought, but spoken aloud as a
stated plan as well? I mean it kind of confers legitimacy on arbitrary
territorial seizures if the US can do it, wouldn't you say?

Cursitor Doom does like his nonsense to be truly fatuous and Donald Trump is sufficiently divorced from reality to deliver truly ludicrous speculations.
I suppose if you take Putin's claims to the Ukraine seriously - and Trump seems to - seizing Greenland might look like a plausible plan - but military invasion do a lot of damage, and the people whose property might get damaged will presumably bribe Trump into being a little more civilised.
