JL: Maybe we need to create a “Greenland” thread all on its own.
I came across this recent interview of the CEO of Amaroq (Eldur Olafsson) who had a take on why the U.S. is pursuing Greenland. I also found his comment about the people's opinion but also their future to be positive. I have not done any research but I would assume the people of Greenland are in a great position to benefit from their recent attractiveness on a global scale. From a U.S. perspective. It does make sense to pursue this. Now.. Trump's methods are always terrible. But the national security and main route of boats makes this even ore attractive.
https://www.cnbc.com/2026/01/08/-gre...20with%20U.S.%The U.S. government is considering investing in a company’s critical minerals mining projects in Greenland, its CEO has told CNBC, ahead of high-stakes talks between Washington and Danish officials over the island’s future.
The projects are run by mining company Amaroq, which operates in South Greenland and is involved in extracting or exploring gold, copper, germanium and gallium, among other critical mineral deposits.
Discussions with U.S. government bodies about the potential investment opportunities are ongoing and haven’t been finalized, Amaroq CEO Eldur Ólafsson told CNBC in an interview.
Deals could involve “offtake agreements, infrastructure support and credit lines,” Ólafsson added, though he declined to comment on what specific projects the U.S. government was interested in.Comment

It's worth reposting Umberto Eco's 14 characteristics of fascism:
He wrote about this in 1995- Cult of tradition: A rejection of modernism and a return to a mythical past.
- Rejection of modernism: A distrust of the modern world and its values, including critical thinking.
- Cult of action for action's sake: A belief that action is superior to reflection.
- Irrationalism: A reliance on emotion and instinct over reason.
- Fear of difference: A xenophobic and racist worldview that sees enemies everywhere.
- Appeal to a frustrated middle class: A promise to restore the status of those who feel humiliated.
- Obsession with a plot: A belief that followers are besieged by enemies.
- Enemy is both strong and weak: A rhetorical tactic to create a sense of perpetual struggle.
- Life is lived for struggle: A glorification of conflict and war.
- Elitism: A belief in an aristocratic, militaristic hierarchy with contempt for the weak.
- Heroism and death: A cult of heroism that is linked to a cult of death.
- Machismo and weaponry: A disdain for women and intolerance for non-standard sexual habits.
- Selective populism: A belief that the "voice of the people" is a single, unified will, often expressed through a charismatic leader.
- "Newspeak": An impoverished vocabulary and syntax to limit complex and critical reasoning.

They already have one. It’s smaller and usually goes unnoticed to most tourists.Originally posted by frank ryan View Post"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. UchtdorfComment

The business taking place between China and U.S. is causing some allies to pursue new relations with China. Unattended consequence of the Tariffs? I had to chuckle when they are treating these leaders of other countries being labeled with FOMO in relation to what is happenign while China and the U.S. causes shifts in the global world..
(Bloomberg) -- Donald Trump’s tariff war occupied US allies for much of last year. Now, President Xi Jinping is welcoming a procession of leaders looking to mend fences with the world’s other major economy.
South Korea’s Lee Jae Myung kicked off the trend this month, cementing an improvement in ties by becoming his nation’s first president to visit China since 2019. Canada’s Mark Carney followed suit when he arrived late Wednesday, closing a near-decade gap in leader-to-leader diplomacy between Ottawa and Beijing in the Asian nation.
Days later, Prime Minister Keir Starmer is set to travel to the Chinese capital to buoy British business, marking a first since 2018. Germany’s chancellor, Friedrich Merz, is also expected to visit next month.
The parade of politicians comes months after Trump sealed a tariff truce with China that tamped down tensions between the world’s largest economies. Xi Jinping and the US leader are slated to meet four times this year, with an April summit likely making Trump the fifth head of a Group of Seven country to visit China in half a year — if his latest tariff threats don’t blow up the detente.
“Trump is triggering diplomatic FOMO across the Western world,” said Neil Thomas, a fellow for Chinese politics at the Asia Society Policy Institute’s Center for China Analysis, using an acronym for “fear of missing out.” “His approach leaves leaders eager to engage Xi so they aren’t sidelined by US-China maneuvering.”Comment
