I'm seeing a bit more about "The Deal" now. It appears
that the USA doesn't need or want ALL of Greenland. The
security (maybe mineral) aspects CAN be done by buying
small PARTS of the island and making them a 'dispersed
territory' or whatever, not quite sure how that'd work.
Maybe like owning a group of islands all under your flag ?

Anyway, the invasion is off, so are the euro tariffs.

US stock markets rebounded on the news, up about 1.15%

Was looking at Greenland the other day on Maps.
Like WOW you wouldn't want to be stationed there !
Just bare light brown rock with snow in the cracks
even in summer. Maybe five or so miles of coast in
some places, then the giant glacier. This is like
for soldiers caught nekked with the generals daughter ....

In any case, Greenland is HUGE and we don't NEED, or
want, the whole damned thing. The locals can STILL
be Danish-Greenlandic and not be bothered and we
can have our land/bases in the north and northeast.

Barely 15 miles from Greenland there's "Alert" in
Canada, basically a small mil base that's always
manned. Some kind of mysterious buildings - missile
silos or radar arrays perhaps ? Landscape is the same.
Hope the poor Canuk soldiers get like 5X pay and free
beer for spending 6 months there. It DOES seem to have
an improvised drive-in theater however :-)

Hey ... ! The Mil can recall Walz, and station
him at the worst Greenland base until he confesses
where our billion+ $$$ went to :-)
