Trump Picks pal of Elon Musk to Go Get Greenland

[IcyPeas]

I saw this on Bluesky then I found the article from the NY Times from January. Another billionaire pal of musk and Thiel. They really are trying to get Greenland.

Essential reading. Donald Trump dispatches as his ambassador to Copenhagen a man who has been established by Danish intelligence to be deeply engaged in secret plans financed privately by Peter Thiel for an American invasion and occupation of Greenland, writes Danish intel analyst Jacob Kaarsbo.

Mr. Trump has been explicit about his expectations for his new ambassador filling a once-sleepy post. When he announced Mr. Howery for the role, which requires Senate confirmation, he reiterated his designs on Greenland for the first time since winning the presidency.

Thanking Mr. Trump on X, Mr. Howery mentioned not just the U.S. Embassy in Copenhagen but also the U.S. Consulate in Nuuk, Greenland, saying he was eager to “deepen the bonds between our countries.”

On cue, Mr. Musk chimed in: “Congrats! Help America gain Greenland.”

1. Trump and his tech billionaires want Greenland's natural resources.

A president with integrity would negotiate with another country in good faith to explore and harvest their resources of rare earth minerals. Of course, Trump has no integrity and never acts in good faith. He thinks he can just invade and take over the whole area.

I also read yesterday that one of Trump’s reasons for wanting to wage war on Venezuela is that they also have rare earth minerals, so he wants to steal their oil and their rare earth resources.

2. He thinks* he was elected Emperor of the World or some kind of a god.

And everyone everywhere must cater to his every wish and whim.

3. Looks like an amphetamine junkie, like Thiel. A co-founder of PayPal.

Funny how they have the same look as the meth junkies of the Nazi regime.

5. The Danes already slapped the administration for covert activities in Greenland

10. Did they use up all the resources here in Trumps shit hole country?

12. Trump wants Greenland as another monument to himself

Like the massive ballroom on the White House he will name after himself. Like the massive Arc de Trump (or whatever it's named) on the National Mall.

I would not be surprised if he ordered a sculpture of his head added to Mount Rushmore.

13. Don't the Danes have the right to reject any Ambassador?

like any country.

16. Apparently they can reject someone.

From Wikipedia....

In diplomacy, a persona non grata (PNG)[a] is a foreign diplomat that is asked by the host country to be recalled to their home country. If the person is not recalled as requested, the host state may refuse to recognize the person concerned as a member of the diplomatic mission (including the removal of diplomatic immunity). A host country may declare any member of a diplomatic staff persona non grata at any time without any explanation.

Canada is not happy with the US ambassador either, Hoekstra.

17. putin would love to see trump invade a NATO Country.

He'll prolly rush his illegal agenda at double speed, in anticipation of heavy losses November 2026.
He's already working on undermining elections, so it's all-hands-on-deck.
