How bout I am there when I speak with my family and friends and you are not? Yeah, that's my take.
Why so hostile when I conceded to you your right to believe what you like? We can go with your version since it's your family, all good, so take it easy.
I'm currently not interested in the subject of Greenland particularly on the Maduro and Venezuela thread.
How convenient. LOL.
This isn’t some side issue, it goes directly to the core of what you’re defending the US from entering another country and claimingng they are in charge of it , NO? You want to ignore the U.S. inserting itself into a sovereign NATO member’s territory and taking land or carrying on into Colombia and Mexico. That’s a line even Putin has been careful to blur with historical claims. Ukraine, at various points in history, was part of the Russian Empire and the USSR.
Greenland has never been part of the United States.
Greenland is an autonomous territory of Denmark, a founding NATO ally that has fought alongside the U.S. for decades. Denmark already cooperates with the U.S. on Greenland’s defense and hosts U.S. military installations there. There is
no credible security threat that Denmark is failing to address and Denmark would never block legitimate NATO defense needs anyway.
So framing this as some kind of “security necessity” is nonsense. It’s a land grab, plain and simple.
And now you want to postpone the discussion until Trump’s talking points are fully workshopped after an incursion happens? That’s exactly the pattern: dismiss, deflect, then justify retroactively once the facts are on the ground.
And Colombia isn’t some disposable country either.
It’s been one of the U.S.’s closest allies in Latin America for decade
s. Through Plan Colombia, the two countries worked hand-in-hand on counter-narcotics, intelligence sharing, and weakening groups like FARC — efforts that directly benefited U.S. security. Colombia hosts joint operations, shares intelligence, and has consistently aligned itself with U.S. regional goals.
The U.S.–Colombia free trade agreemen
t supports billions in trade and American jobs, and Colombia was designated a Major Non-NATO Ally , a status Washington gives to very few countries.
So threatening or strong-arming Colombia isn’t “tough leadership.” It’s strategically dumb. You don’t undermine one of your most reliable partners in the hemisphere and then pretend you care about alliances or sovereignty.
Yet, you don't want to discuss this in a thread where the US went in, kidnapped its leader (yes Maduro is a POS), and now claims HE RUNS THE COUNTRY about the countries he wants to attack, invade and capture??
Look at it this way Wyatt, once it happens or if it happens, you will be prepared for the Sunday family discussions, and hopefully you will be able to thank me for it!
