Comment on Source: US may gain sovereignty over small areas in Greenland

Tell me what happens when you make someone feel like they won something by acting like a toddler? They certainly won’t stop acting like one, let me tell you that.

Yes such a victory by…not at all winning any of the things you were demanding.

You seem to be ignoring my points and repeating the same arguments that I’ve already addressed. Not a big surprise you think this is going to stop Trump when you act like you can’t read.

My argument isn’t that it’s finally going to stop the cry baby hitler.
My argument is that it’s finally going doesn’t embolden him to go further because he didn’t even earn a single inch from it all.
The start position was the US can have bases and make trade deals, all that they need to do is talk with Greenland.
And this “successful deal.” Is the US can have bases and make trade deals, all they need to do is talk with Greenland.

The problem is that you’re thinking like a sane person, while Trump isn’t. Just the fact that people took his toddler tantrum seriously enough to even pretend like they are compromising emboldens him. We’ve seen this happen how many times now and it only made things worse.
You talked about start position as if that matters to Trump. Remember when Canada backed down on their digital service tax act? In reality, it’s simply a return to status quo, but to this insane administration, they consider it a “win” to make Canada compromise to a crazy situation Trump initiated.
Being so happy that Trump didn’t get what he pretended to want is just you being tricked by his flood the zone tactic. This type of toddler decisions should have just been completely shut down without any need for discussion. I don’t know why you’re happy that it was entertained for even a moment.
