"We don't want to be Americans. No, we don't want to be Danes. We want to be Greenlanders," said Jens-Frederik Nielsen of the island's Demokraatit party.
Good luck keeping that military fueled, fed and maintained for more than a couple of months when embargoes start to hit and your resource supplies stop flowing in from the countries he’s pissing off.
If it comes down to it, the question becomes how much fuel and goods do they have in their supply chain.
Canada is:
60% of their crude oil and most of their refineries are built to only handle it, the only alternative is Venezuela, and they can’t supply the same amount.
90% of their Potash, no other country can supply the same amount. Required for modern farming.
60% of their Aluminium, no other country can meet the supply. They also lack the smelters to produce it, even if the ore can be sourced.
100% of their peat. Required for modern farming.
90% of their Vanadium. Critical to a stupid amount of industrial processes.
This is on top of the hundreds of billions Canadians spend on US goods and services each year.
If they try anything stupid, their entire system will dry up.
I hope you’re right. I think that billionaire seeing markets dry up might be the only thing to slow it down though. With Canada, the USA has most if not all the natural resources it needs.

So the solution is obviously to annex Canada! Checkmate, librulz.
How can you keep it?
We do American better than they do. No american shithole would be safe.
