So they used a Super Tucano with plain markings? Color me unsurprised? I mean whether they did that or droned the guys it's irrelevant.

Do you often find parallels like this?

So, why does Trump have such a hard on for Greenland?

National security and concerns with military Chinese and Russian economic and military expansion. Also some resources of course

I have no expertise on Greenland or it's resources, but the optics of Trump's approach are terrible. It's just stupid.

Do you guys have any idea how much the CCP is embedded throughout California? Newsom is essentially a plant. Why else are these idiots putting a ballot to rob people of their unrealized wealth? (Yes I know Newsom tweeted against it, but he was a huge part of how it got this far, he failed to lead the state)

And Canada's (China's) Mark Carney is talking about a New World Order

We've had strategic interests long before Trump, and its not less important now. I agree with building up forces using the 1951 agreement. This is a situation where winning hearts and minds would be easy. I think most there would prefer our support. Threatening to take her by force is likely just creating more enemies.

Didn't they (Greenland/Denmark) say we could put bases there? Which would cover the national security issue (?)
Bases sure. Trump wants to put the missile defense shield on it.

In 1951 they granted us free reign militarily but Denmark would maintain control of Greenland. This why I think its more about owning resources.

Here's my big issue:
We're a year into the 2nd Trump administration and Republican trifecta and there's virtually nothing to show for it. Just a bunch of early EO's that will all easily be reversed at the first opportunity by Democrats. There's really been no meaningful legislation to address any of the issues Republicans and Trump ran on. Doing > talking and all I'm seeing is a bunch of no action talkers. DOGE seemingly died on the vine after, what, 2 months?
instead, we're talking about nonsense with Greenland and watching lawless bullshit in Minneapolis again.
That's not what I voted for.

DOGE was integrated into each agency as an organic entity as intended.
Both parties have an amazing track record at this very thing so I don't know why y'all thought it would be different this time.

I guess it was only a matter of time…
Around 1500 soldiers are reportedly on standby for a potential deployment to Minneapolis
Officials have reportedly informed ABC News that two battalions have been put on alert for a possible deployment to Minneapolis.
According to ABC News, two defense officals has informed them that two battalions from the 11th Airborne Division have been put on alert for a potential deployment to Minnesota.
The 11th Airborne Division, stationed in Alaska, is reprotedly one of the Army’s top infantry units, and plays a key role in deterring China in the Pacific.
Their deployment, should it occur, would be to support federal law enforcement in Minneapolis as protests continue across the Twin Cities against the presence of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

So let's follow this down a somewhat logical path...
What specifically are these troops going to be doing?
Are they staging near potential ICE targets, then swooping in and rounding up and detaining agitators for ...the day?
Then what?
Release them, then rinse and repeat daily? Does this action move the needle in a meaningful way? Is it sustainable?
What is their objective?
