The reason it is happening exists on a higher level.
They know they don’t need it for defence. They know they already control it. They know they already have access to the resources there.
My take is that the nazis behind Trump want Greenland because they’re trying to roll back culture and mindsets in the west to colonial mentality, they don’t want to take it by force, they actually would prefer it was sold because the idea of a country selling the 50,000 human beings that live there to the US is a huge step backwards. If it was accepted it would push the entire west back into normalisation of colonial behaviour, it is a milestone of establishing the sale of human beings between one country and another. Then they can go further. The nazis have been salami slicing things backwards over time and this is another slice.
Everyone is focused on the land instead of the people that live there that do not want to be American.
It’s a very conveniently small number of people which lowers the barrier to acceptance and lowers the volume of their political voice (the people of Greenland) in resisting it.
Nothing else makes sense. There are no physical reasons for this. They have different reasons instead and we must look there rather than at the physical reasons that we all agree don’t make any sense.
This is closer to the kind of strategy Bannon would come up with to move culture and mindsets, I’m not saying he’s responsible but I’m saying that it’s a strategy people in his kind of sphere would come up with.
I’m more inclined to believe that there is no higher strategy or rationale behind any of this. Fascism is defined partially by action for the sake of action. They do big things because Trump and his base like big things. We’ve gone from political coverage as entertainment to the political actions themselves as entertainment.
I remember when Musk bought twitter and fucked it and himself and there were some users who kept insisting it was some sort of 4D chess ploy spurred on by Peter Thiel
Musk acquired it at enormous cost to himself and mismanaged it but it’s not like it hasn’t achieved anything. It’s the most influential and harmful sources normalising fascist culture and beliefs that exists now.
I guess I’m just less inclined to think that all of our enemies are idiots. I think there is strategy, and smart strategy too. They don’t successfully turn communist countries like Ukraine into what they are today without a solid strategy of incrementally turning the fascism dial bit by bit.
There are certainly bungling idiots among them and the implementation is at times awful but generally there is a high strategy level occurring somewhere among them that we would be fools ourselves to not acknowledge the existence of.
I don’t think all of them are idiots. I do think Elon is an idiot. I think another mistake is assuming everything that happens is part of some masterful plan on their part. That is a very demotivating way of approaching world events
I still think that even if it’s not conscious planning, that is the reason for the action. They want imperialism and feudal relations back, so they’re gonna keep doing things that make it feel like they’re empire and others are peasants or slaves.
I think it could just be simple “if we actually own it we have an absolute say on ANYTHING that goes on and our mineral extraction and military assets cannot be kicked out EVER” whereas there’s this fear that China will give them a better deal and they’ll down the road in 5 years, 10 years, 15 years when the US is weaker make a deal with them, push the US out and that’ll be it. But if the US seizes it, buys, etc, digs in like a tick then in 10 years, 20 years when the US is weaker they still have absolute control of the minerals and their exploitation strategy. They still have absolute control of it for military uses in missile interception against Russia and China over the north pole.
So it’s consolidation of assets, power, land, the great climate fortress while the US still has maximum power. The time to build a fortress and defenses is not when you’re already under attack and flagging but when you’re strongest and can make your boundaries as big as possible. Critically for the US strategy to control China it’s part of ensuring they have control of key raw minerals on top of markets that they can be gatekeeper for and force China to play by their say-so or else they turn off the supplies and turn off China’s manufacturing economy.

This is the first analysis of possible motives I actually buy.

It’s been so long I can barely remember, but I feel as if it was doing that beforehand as well. But that also wasnt the 4D chess thing.
Elon fell ass-first into twitter after using it for some harebrained scam. He was forced to buy it.

It’s wild how most people seem to have just forgotten about this.

Yeah that’s true, the action is still guided by vibes and aesthetics and those have an internal logic.
