That joke isn’t funny anymore…I’ve seen this happen in other countries’
lives, and now it’s happening in mine…
When I was 7 years old, I read about Greenland in the Golden Magazine. I drew a picture of Musk Oxen (and boy, I thought they looked funnier than archaeopteryx) in a circle, horns facing outward, defending the cows and calves from attacking arctic wolves. There is ice, and more ice, and still more ice. There are polar bears and seals and brave Inuit to hunt them. Nobody can fight a war in Greenland!
Mr. President, Greenlanders have hunting rifles with telescopic sites. They can pick Soldiers off one by one, and never be seen.
Ulvang, the great Norwegian cross country skier, traversed the island on skis wearing sails that caught the wind to move him along faster. I think the four guys on his expedition in the early 1990s lost like an average of 10 kilos each. It’s brutal!
Eric the Red sailed and rowed his dragon long ships from Iceland to Greenland because he was banished! He didn’t want to be in Greenland, and he discovered and named it! That should tell us all something!
I have Scandinavian ancestors and Swedish in-laws, and we know about cold, and surviving in cold, and I grew up in western Michigan getting 180 inches of snow a year. School would close for a week, and people would drive snowmobiles to church, and we would go ice fishing with a bottle of schnapps or aqavit in a plywood outhouse after chipping a hole in the ice to get to the perch. We would freeze our asses off for a few hours, and then we would take our shirt off and run to shore to show how tough we were. (We even did polar bear dips.). We know about cold. But Greenland??
There is a video of a Norwegian guy who chops a hole in the ice and then jumps off a cliff into the hole stark naked, holding his axe. People in Minnesota and Michigan who play hockey on a frozen lake or parking lot with the goals marked by 2 garbage cans or 55 gallon drums 4 feet apart on either end of the pond, no mask, and get their front teeth knocked out by sticks, skates, or pucks. I was a goalie, stopping pucks with my face and my body. This is one of the things Canadians, Yoopers, Swedes, Finns, Russians, and Czechs do for fun in the winter. We laugh at that cold. But Greenland? Shee-it, you gonna die after two weeks in cold like that! There is snow, and then there is permafrost!
These Danes and Inuits are tough guys like the ICE agents think they are tough. I know the 10th Mountain Division, God Bless Them, and I don’t think they are tough enough to take and hold Greenland. The Space Force at Pituffik definitely isn’t, God Bless Them for their service. Are you guys trying for the most epic defeat in the history of warfare, ahead of Stalingrad and the Retreat from Moscow?
Unca Donald, Secretary Kegseth, you guys need to go to Watertown New York, visit Ft Drum, go to Ft Wainwright in Alaska, in the middle of a blizzard, and find out what it is to be so cold you don’t even feel the pain, because you don’t even feel. You need to experience the Iditarod and watch how sled dogs, Malamutes and Huskies curl up with their tails in front of their noses to filter and warm the air they breathe so that their lung tissue doesn’t freeze before you make jokes at the expense of mushers and their teams. If you ain’t warm (sort of) and dry, you are dead.
Unca Donald, Secretary Kegseth, nuclear weapons are not as lethal as the cold. Cold has a lethality all its own. Go ahead, drop paratroops on glaciers. It’s not like Ice Station Zebra. Watch the paratroops get orthopedic injuries and fractured bones. The fuel lines of the diesel engines freeze unless you do like the Germans did with their tanks and build fires underneath them. And there is nothing to build fires with on the glaciers.
And the ice moves. Like frozen rivers, with the rotation of the earth. The drifts pile up and it is like climbing over mountains. And there are blizzards. You can’t fly planes or helicopters in blizzards and fog. You can’t march on cross country skis from here to there in blizzards. You can’t take ships around the icebergs in fog and blizzards in the winter, which is what is going on now, with 4 or 5 hours of daylight max, and you can’t sail submarines around the icebergs without risk, as well. (Remember, 90% of the berg is under the water?)
Uncle Donald, Secretary Kegseth, please read about the Greeley Expedition to Ellsmere Island near Greenland, that was stranded from 1881 to 1884, when supply ships failed to reach the huts of the weather station in 1882 and 1883, causing starvation and execution of a soldier who stole food because he was starving. Only 7 men survived.
It wasn’t far from Greenland that Franklin in the Erebus and Terror was frozen in, with every man Jack of them perishing of cold and starvation.
The Inuits and the Canadians and the Danes and the Swedes and Finns and Norwegians know how to survive and to fight in these conditions. If we occupy Greenland, we will be cut off and we will be starved, like Greeley. Don’t mock these guys, Uncle Donald.
What’s the matter, Secretary Kegseth? Afghanistan wasn’t ridiculously obscene enough terrain for you? Now we have to fight in a place that’s worse? Why do our leaders keep sending us to these worthless Godforsaken hellholes like Korea with its smelly cold mountains, Vietnam with its jungle, the Arabian Desert, the Iraqi Desert with its sandstorms, the mountains and valleys of Afghanistan with altitude sickness? What happened to places like Gettysburg and Little Bighorn and the Argonne and Normandy, where at least we had neutral terrain and weather? Can’t we go back to fighting in places that don’t smell like ass from the moment we debark?
(Yeah, Greenland smells. A missionary from the Arctic once spoke at our church, and his description of the smell was “it’s pretty gamey, living without regular showers for a long winter.”)
There is being set up for failure, and then there is being sacrificed on Vimy Ridge and the Somme by leaders who just want to increase the casualty lists.
This is nuts! Instead of sitting in a party tent in Mar-a-Lago, how about you guys get out and lead from the front, like dictators used to? Be Napoleon, be King Henry V, be Robert the Bruce and William Wallace! Lead the charge and don’t look behind you, oh Captain of the Corps of Cadets of the New York Military Academy! Show us how you used to do it in the Marine Reserves, Secretary Kegseth! Semper Fi! And us poor grunts will be right behind you, cheering you on!
Just a thought. Have you ever noticed that Trumpelforeskin surrounds himself with cabinet sec. that all shorter than him? Makes you rethink his firing of 6' 7" James Comey.......
Trump likes to project that his decisions are all his, but in reality Putin is pulling his strings. Hillary was right- Trump is Putin's puppet. Putin would no more partner with Trump than he would any other person who is an obvious fool, which Trump is, but he is a useful fool for now.
Trump is the longest running shell game, con job, grift, theft, and pack of lies since the first man said, "It is ok honey, I will pull out in time." He just is very simply a thief, a crook, a criminal, a liar, and a cheat, a man who preys upon people's credulity and remarkably, gets away with it. PT Barnum would be amazed even though he knew that there is a sucker born every minute. I wonder if he ever thought than fully half of the population of the United States and many thousands of others across world would fall hook, line and sinker, for the man who has proven himself, in public and in private, to have absolutely no morals, ethics, or any concern for anyone else but himself.
It takes a long time to redact the evidence of a hundred thousand fraudulent wire transfers from the Trump/Epstien files, so you need really big scary diversions like this Greenland garbage.
Maybe if DOGE hadn't canceled the Acrobat Pro subscriptions they could just Ctrl-F the pricktator's name (and those of all his buddies) and replace with Bill Clinton.
"Bill Clinton flew to the island with Bill Clinton and Bill Clinton, where they met Bill Clinton."

Well, thats NATO propably gone. I wonder how he will resupply Israel without the Meditarenaean sea?
It's too bad human pieces of shit aren't a renewable energy. USA would lead the world. Is there no end to these MAGA turds?
Three years to go is 2.95 years too long. It's well past time to 86 that hunk of rotten roast beef, it's stinking up the whole place.
