Whilst the Dummyrats are battling each other to get their latest fart on that hours News, Trump is thinking in epochs, looking at the world 200-300 years from now.

Trump is the greatest strategic genius the world has known in 2 millennia

RE: Trump is the greatest strategic genius the world has known in 2 millennia

The idea to buy Greenland did not come out of the blue -— IT RELATES TO -— CHINA.

What the MSM did not emphasize is Greenland’s untapped natural resources like oil, minerals and valuable rare earth elements that China, the United States and other major tech economies covet.

A Chinese government-backed group’s offer last year to build three new international airports on Greenland sparked alarms in Copenhagen and Washington.

The Chinese plan was finally nixed in exchange for Danish funding and a pledge of support from the Pentagon.

In other words, Trump’s administration has awoken to the Arctic as a geostrategic issue.

And BTW, this is not the first time a real estate purchase was struck with Denmark. In 1917 Denmark sold off the then Danish West Indies islands for US$25 million to the United States, which renamed them the United States Virgin Islands.

Greenland has been essential to US defense since that war when it was a base for monitoring Nazi ships and submarines passing through the “Arctic Avenue”, the sea gateway to the north Atlantic.

In 1943 the US Air Force built its farthest-north airbase at Thule, Greenland.

Thule was crucial in the cold war, a first line of monitoring against a potential Russian attack.

With a population of 600, the base today is part of the NATO mission, operating satellite monitoring and strategic missile detection systems and handling thousands of flights a year.

Oh, PULEEEZE! He’s a very smart guy in both business and politics, no doubt, and I’m thrilled that he’s our President. But let’s not get lost in hyperbole like the Dems (Hillary is the smartest woman in the world, or Obama is the smartest guy in the world, etc.).

Oh, and let’s buy Greenland - GREAT idea.
