The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Most here realize that, if Trump did take Greenland by force, the rest of NATO could not respond militarily?

First, the European navies don't have the capability of projecting force across the Atlantic.

Even if Europe could strike across an ocean, they would need to pull most of their land and air forces out of Europe, leaving it open to invasion by Russia.

So, God given human form Trump, sees an undefended island he can easily grab. Talking heads have observed that developing the resources in Greenland would take decades. But they miss the obvious: Trump can make himself a fortune, now, selling mining concessions.
