Anyone who like to learn about history and trends may investigate WWI, WWII, IRAQ, SYRIA, ...all these wars and revolutions started by the bankers. Also look up who are the bankers?

All black. All white. Makes for crude pictures. Maybe let’s try nuanced thinking to see if that can work to get a less crude picture definition.

Greenland : 50k people and vast mineral stores including rare earths. Threatening war with Greenland ? What would such a “war” look like exactly, maybe something like this: Driving from one end to the other and planting US flags on both ends. What military force would oppose this, realistically: The Danish Royal Navy. Who believes this. Is that a “war”, driving from one end of a giant island to the other?

A change in protectorate regime is more accurate.

According to the polling of Greenlanders, that would have to be a FORCED 'protectorate regime' -- nothing democratic, and nothing peaceful, but THEFT.

Practically it would mean little difference for the 50k people there. You could dress it up with “democratic regime change theater sauce” as we know how to do across the planet. We had the Louisiana purchase and other land acquisitions over the centuries. The US would make more effective use of the land, having vastly greater resources. It would only be “theft” if there is zero compensation. As is done across US cities every day of the week: eminent domain take over. We pay you a fair rate. We could afford to give each Greenlander $1 million and be vastly ahead.

That is Zionism's argument, that when they take over Palestine they would make the desert bloom." It is the classic imperialist claim, for all lands they want to conquer.
