Rep. Randy Fine (R-Fla.) has introduced a bill to make Greenland the 51st state in the U.S., following President Trump’s recent push to acquire the Danish territory.

The “Greenland Annexation and Statehood Act” was introduced by the Florida Republican on Monday, his office said in a press release. The bill’s goals, according to its text, include enabling “the annexation and subsequent admission to statehood of Greenland.”

“Greenland is not a distant outpost we can afford to ignore—it is a vital national security asset,” Fine said in the press release. “Whoever controls Greenland controls key Arctic shipping lanes and the security architecture protecting the United States.”

“America cannot leave that future in the hands of regimes that despise our values and seek to undermine our security,” he added.

The bill states that President Trump “is authorized to take such steps as may be necessary, including by seeking to enter into negotiations with the Kingdom of Denmark, to annex or otherwise acquire Greenland as a territory of the United States.”

After the U.S. owns Greenland, under the bill, Trump then has to send a report to Congress featuring possible federal law changes “as the President may determine necessary to admit the newly acquired territory as a State.”

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Monday said that there was not a “timeline” for the U.S. to take over Greenland.

“[President Trump] has not set a timeline but it’s definitely a priority for him,” Leavitt told reporters.

“I think the president was very clear last night,” she continued. “He said that he wants to see the United States acquire Greenland because he feels if we do not then it will eventually be acquired or even perhaps hostilely taken over by either China or Russia.”

On Sunday, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) said that the U.S. taking action to acquire Greenland by force would finish the NATO alliance.

“It would be the end of NATO,” Murphy said in an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press” after being asked by host Kristen Welker what would happen if the U.S. went ahead with the action.

I've been looking for this for a while in neither administration nor opposition terms:

What does the US gain by physically possessing Greenland over the existing status quo of already being able to load it up with bases and sign mining contracts with the locals?
>>
>>1476684
an orange faggot gets to gloat about it
>>
>>1476684
The US? Nothing. Trump is a fucking retard who believes that if somebody else is benefitting in some way, then he must be losing something. He roleplays as a shrewd businessman while being such an unreliable piece of shit that no bank in the US would give him a damn loan any more.
>>
>>1476684
Iceland is a strategic point of interest due to the northwest passage. But considering it is owned by the Danes, and the fraying relations between North America and the EU, there is no guarantee that it will remain usable by the United States in the coming years. Greenland + Alaska would give the USA dominance over those shipping lanes.
>>
>>1476694
Why are relations between North America and the EU fraying?
>>
>>1476694
The US currently has several manned installations and several dozen unmanned and defunct installations on Greenland. There are currently no barriers to the operation of those installations.

Also, the relevant supranational party isn't the EU (which has no direct say in defense matters), it's NATO. The US alliance with NATO is also key to its dozens of strategic military installations in Europe, which are likely to go away if the US does something to kill its relationship with the organization... like seizing Greenland.
>>
>>1476697
The EU has become increasingly anti-democratic and authoritarian. It has also started closely aligning itself with Chinese interests, which means also means being aligned with BRICS and depriving the petrodollar of its power.

The US dollar continues to have investor confidence regardless of the US's ability to pay back the national debt because everybody uses it for international trade. But if that stops happening then the perpetual motion machine will stop entirely. There would be a bank run on the US financial system, recalling all physical and monetary assets out of it.
>>
>>1476710
The issue isn't Greenland. Greenland is a continent of ice with a population the size of a small German town. It's that the EU is largely dependent on the US's economic and military strength to maintain their own sovereignty, which means they have no real bargaining power that the US does not grant them.

The EU doesn't want to be reliant on the US for security if the US is willing to use their position of power to extort the EU. The US is prepared to annex greenland today, but what of the UK? Germany? Poland?

The US is preparing for war with the EU because the EU is going to break ties with the US shortly.
>>
>>1476717
Idiot.

I hope NATO blockades Greenland and removes all US bases over this. The US cannot be trusted anymore, and should be treated as a threat over these ultimatums.
>>
>>1476717
This. We should have been seeking alliances with Russia and India against the growing Eurochinese power block. World War is inevitable, and thanks to dems mishandling the whole Russia situation, we will be in a worse place overall.
>>

Russia and India are a part of BRICS anon.
>>
>>1476723
>If I switch the conversation about defense arrangements to an economic arrangement, I can pretend I have a point!
But you don't. If the US takes Greenland, all of its defense assets in the rest of Europe will be gone, it'll stop having coordination and cooperation from NATO and the US will be less safe. The EU is not party to the issue any more than USMCA.
>>
>>1476743
What do you mean by mishandling the Russia situation? By having Comey investigate and find everyone in Trumps inner circle was implicated in Russian money and influence. Or Biden supporting Ukraine and defy Russia's attempt at a land grab?

The benefit of having the US as an ally isn't cheeseburgers.
Europe relies on American intelligence from American satellite networks, sensor feeds and GPS. They also rely on American logistics and naval power to protect their trade routes.

>>
>>1476775
>The benefit of having the US as an ally isn't cheeseburgers.
Right, it's security against invasion, which no longer fucking exists if the US is militarily annexing parts of its "allies".

If the US wants to try forming a united government with Denmark, it should lobby to join the EU and push towards nationalizing the organization.
>>
>>1476723

Let's go over the 2 threats to European "sovereignty".

>Would get shitcanned in Poland if it tried to go in without nukes just like they've been shitcanned in Ukraine but significantly worse because Europe has a real military not broken by years of war.

>Is currently threatening their "sovereignty"
What is your argument here? That Europe should give up its sovereignty to the US so it doesn't lose its sovereignty to the US? Europe already learned the hard way that appeasement doesn't work. They're gonna opt for the fucking hard way if we try shit.
>>
>>1476800
>What is your argument here?
The EU wants to retain some semblance of autonomy over their own affairs, but they are reliant on the US economy and military to maintain their sovereignty. Breaking away from the US and going to BRICS is the only way to solve that issue, which is what they're trying to do currently.

The US wants to remain strategically secure. That's why they are taking greenland. "Appeasement doesn't work" doesn't change the fact that the EU doesn't have a choice. They risk all-out war with the United States if they move in a way that challenges the petrodollar or the US's attempt to secure strategic points of interest.

Stupid people don't understand that the US is the guard dog for NATO; they enforce the rules-based order and international law via their immense military. But the relaxed military spending of the EU grants the US the ability to annex whatever countries they want with little trouble. Moralizing without power to back it up is only liable to get you killed in the new world order.

No.
>They risk all-out war with the United States if they move in a way that challenges the petrodollar or the US's attempt to secure strategic points of interest.
Just to be abundantly clear, the US seizing Greenland by force IS all out war. Your argument is Europe should agree to lose a series of smaller conflicts to avoid having to fight one larger conflict. And, again, Europe knows how that ends.
>Stupid people don't understand that the US is the guard dog for NATO

Bold strategy cotton.

They don't have a choice. They have no leverage. The US is both too powerful to challenge and too costly to lose as an ally.
>Stupid people don't understand that you put down a guard dog that starts attacking you.
The EU doesn't have the tools or political will to fight the US. Citizens in nations like the UK, Denmark etc are praying for liberation, whereas their leadership are trying to ban American social media companies to prevent an uprising.
Starmer has a lower approval rating than Maduro. Think about that.

Ya, the people all over the world are praying to be liberated by American fascism. They can’t wait to have their wealth stolen by conmen and pathetic Steven Miller nerds who prance around acting like strong men from behind the protection of the USA military might. A power, that was built resisting fascist bullshit, and has now been co-opted by little pussies who were terrible at sports in high school and girls found them repulsive, so they made an entire personality out of hate and resentment and thirst for power. Now they pound their little fists and talk about the might of the USA and our ability to seize any land we desire. Fuck these greedy rich assholes. Feeding you little hate nuggets about brown and black people while they rob you blind and drive us into quagmire conflicts so they can extract wealth out of everyone and buy another mega yacht and private sex island.

But hey, they made it okay to say you hate beaners and spicks again, so your happy, right?

>>1476898
>They don't have a choice. They have no leverage.
It's not about leverage. You're treating this as a negotiation. It isn't. It's a cost-benefit analysis.

If they do nothing now, they'll just be in a worse position when they inevitably have to do something later. The only way doing nothing is the right answer is if they're prepared to give an expansionist US anything it demands for the foreseeable future. Canada? Iceland? The UK? Unless Europe is prepared to let itself be invaded and annexed piecemeal, it's ultimately better to fight it out at the first opportunity. And Europe is not down for that shit.

>The US is both too powerful to challenge and too costly to lose as an ally.
Allies don't invade allies and countries generally resist invasion whether or not the force invading them is "too powerful to challenge". There's a bit of a difference between who you would pick to fight and who you would defend yourself against.

My brother in Christ, the average European would sacrifice their firstborn for the opportunity to slit Trump's fat, leathery throat. Danes especially view him as Satan incarnate.
>>
How much libcuck tears will there be when we conquer Greenland?
>>
Bro, nobody wants this. Like 7% of the population support using the military to take Greenland. Only half of Republicans support acquiring through peaceful means.
>>
>>1476937
Most people on 4chan seem to want it, and we have 4channers influencing Trump right now, so...

Some people just want to watch the world burn.

>Unless Europe is prepared to let itself be invaded and annexed piecemeal, it's ultimately better to fight it out at the first opportunity.
The EU was asked to re-militarize and they laughed at Trump. They don't even allow their own countrymen the necessary tools to form a modernized militia. By what metric do you believe they can still 'fight it out'?
>Danes especially view him as Satan incarnate.
We don't live in the harry potter universe. Strongly worded letters of condemnation don't have the power you think they do. If they tried to mount an effective defense, the US would sanction them immediately and watch the rest of NATO fall into chaos.
Look at the Canadians. More than half of their GDP relies on trade with the US. Going to war with them would be suicide.
>>
>>1476904
>so your happy, right?
Would you prefer it if Europe became a muslim caliphate instead?
>>
>>1476953
>By what metric do you believe they can still 'fight it out'?
By the metric that we sell them fucktons of weapons and defensive wars are always popular whereas Trump attacking Greenland would get his ass impeached and removed within a fucking week if he was even able to pull it off without the Pentagon ratting his ass out to Congress and the media.

>If they tried to mount an effective defense, the US would sanction them immediately
Why the fuck do you think US sanctions have any power at all? It's cause other countries back us up and join in when we sanction shit, dumbfuck.

If we attack Greenland, WE'RE who other countries would join in and sanction.
>>
>>1476958
Half the Muslims on Earth could move to Europe and they still wouldn't have enough political influence to set up a caliphate.
>>
>>1476999
Have you seen the streets of Paris?
>>1476992
>By the metric that we sell them fucktons of weapons
The US provides the EU with munitions and maintenance for those weapons. Without the US they no longer have them, let alone access to the air support by the US's hundreds of military bases all across the western world.
Impeachment has historically made popular support for a president stronger, not weaker. Trump has only gotten more support after two impeachments because democrats lied through their teeth.
Congress has already introduced a bill for the annexation of Greenland and the Pentagon wants greenland too.
>Why the fuck do you think US sanctions have any power at all?
You don't understand why the petrodollar is important if you're asking this question.
The most basic requirement for a nation to consider itself first-world is if it has industrialized. That requires oil, which can only be acquired by selling goods on the US market in exchange for US dollars.
If Denmark, Poland, Germany etc wanted to maintain their economic status, they would need to keep trading with the US for US dollars, otherwise they would be forced to ally with Russia.
But even assuming they tried to do that, that would challenge the Petrodollar's status as the world's reserve currency and immediately put them in a war with America.
So here's what's going to happen: the US is going to """buy""" greenland and the EU is going to pretend like it successfully brokered a deal with a gun pointed at its head.

>Impeachment has historically made popular support for a president stronger, not weaker. Trump has only gotten more support after two impeachments because democrats lied through their teeth.
Trump literally lost the election after he was impeached.
>>
>>1477061
Yeah, after a few million voters spontaneously appeared and then disappeared in the 2024 election.
>>
>>1477068
Yeah we should look into the 2024 election. Especially with how Trump has gotten caught several times about having "found" votes for him.
>>
>>1476744
It's not a distraction, they're trying to speedrun a MAGA Reich because they know their popularity is dropping fast due to all the shit they're doing.
>>
>>1477077
I'm curious how you fags are going to keep talking about Project 2025 now that it's 2026.
>>
>>1477087
That's a good point. As well all know, part of Project 2025 was that all it's shit gets undone in 2026 and anything left unfinished gets backtracked.
>>

This fat jew is the biggest clown in Congress, and that's saying something. Zero fucking chance this sees a vote, it is just another attempt at grandstanding.
