Vance and Greenland: We want our cake and eat it too

"It's just very simple: Greenland is very important to the national security of the United States of America"
OK. I agree Greenland has strategic importance and the US should have military installations there.
(just like the 1951 treaty allows for)


"And if we're going to invest in Arctic security — if we're going to basically pay a lot of money and be on the hook for protecting this massive landmass — I think it's only reasonable for the United States to get some benefit out of that."

OK. I agree the US will get a benefit by placing military installations in Greenland....since Greenland has great strategic importance for the US.


Oh wait...you want Greenland to pay us too....

I thought defending the US was a US responsibility?
Isn't that why y'all increased the defense (or is that war now?) budget?

Since the thread includes Europe/NATO...

an opinion piece

“We made these mistakes together, and now together we owe it to our people to face those facts and to move forward to rebuild,” Rubio said. “This is why we Americans may sometimes come off as a little direct and urgent in our counsel. This is why President Trump demands seriousness and reciprocity from our friends here in Europe. The reason why, my friends, is because we care deeply. We care deeply about your future and ours.”

Whatever else he is, Rubio remains a talented politician; the whole thing was artfully done. In the world in which he operates—a world in which his boss, the president, opens up about three new lines of antagonism against U.S. allies a week—this was about the most promising rhetorical line available to him: America hits because America cares.
