Not true, Norway has (and still do) as well. Pretty sure Sweden has as well. And yes, our troops have suffered casualties too. I don't think Sweden has. Isn't Sweden a neutral country and chose not to join NATO? I believe they are a "NATO Affiliate" country though allowing NATO operations to take place within the country's borders but I don't think they participate in NATO led operations in conflict. Sweden has been operational in Afghanistan since 2002.👍🏻 (Just did a search to refresh my memory)

SHS worked for this one as campaign manager(?).......... Cotton such a nice guy.... He started al this Greenland mess... GOP Sen. Tom Cotton (Ark.) said at an event in his home state on Wednesday that he suggested purchasing Greenland to President Trump months ago. “Obviously, the right decision for this country,” Cotton said when asked about Trump’s Greenland tweets at the inaugural Talk Business and Politics Power Lunch in Little Rock, Ark., Talk Business and Politics reported. “I can reveal to you that several months ago, I met with the Danish ambassador and I proposed that they sell Greenland to us,” he added.The comments from Cotton came less than a week after reports first emerged that the president had taken an interest in buying the semi-autonomous island territory, which is home to more than 50,000 people. Trump confirmed his interest on Sunday, telling reporters that he was interested in the land for strategic purposes. He later poked fun at the idea, tweeting a doctored picture of a Trump Tower looming over the landscape. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen denounced the idea as "absurd," prompting Trump to postpone his upcoming visit to the country in September. "Denmark is a very special country with incredible people, but based on Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen’s comments, that she would have no interest in discussing the purchase of Greenland, I will be postponing our meeting scheduled in two weeks for another time," Trump tweeted on Tuesday. Cotton said Wednesday that Greenland's mineral reserves could make it valuable strategically to the U.S. He added that Greenland has great economic potential and that the island is “vital to our national security.”
“Anyone who can’t see that is blinded by Trump derangement,” he said.** thehill.com/homenews/senate/458372-gop-senator-says-he-suggested-greenland-purchase-to-trump-met-with-danish

Hold up she is already there........OOps! ** The United States ambassador tasked with cleaning up bizarrely strained relations with Denmark in the wake of Donald Trump’s failed attempt to buy Greenland is a frequent retweeter of conspiracy theories who once starred in a movie so bad it was parodied on Mystery Science Theater 3000.
Carla Sands heads the U.S. mission to the kingdom of Denmark, after having been confirmed to the post in 2017. Up until a few days ago, her time in the country was largely uneventful, save for a few domestic hiccups around the Trump administration’s LGBT policy and a more contentious dispute over Germany’s partnership with Russia on a gas pipeline.
But that has now changed after President Trump canceled a trip to Denmark and subsequently accused the country’s prime minister of being “nasty” for quickly dismissing his desire to purchase Greenland.
Sands, like much of the rest of the universe, appeared utterly caught off-guard by the cancellation. Just hours earlier, she had tweeted her excitement for the visit. But unlike everyone else, she now finds herself at the vanguard of the diplomatic effort to keep matters calm. One Obama-era diplomat told The Daily Beast that he imagined Sands was scrambling to touch base with Danish leadership officials to try and repair hurt feelings and keep the lines of communication productive and open.
“This cancellation on such short notice and for the reason that was given, I think, in a way, it makes it a pretty straightforward discussion,” said Gordon Gray, the former ambassador to Tunisia. “I think the problem Ambassador Sands or any ambassador will have is how can a host government take a message from the ambassador, who is in theory the president’s personal representative, with anything other than a grain of salt at this point.” *** The State Department didn’t respond to a request for comment. But how Sands performs in this now-delicate role could raise a myriad of questions, from why the U.S. government continues to rely on unseasoned hands in ambassadorial roles to how she ended up in this spot in the first place.
Sands appears to have spent a fair amount of her time in Denmark focused on domestic politics back home. Since becoming ambassador, she has frequently retweeted bizarre claims on her personal Twitter account, @carlahsands. Among them are tweets sharing PragerU posts about how humans were not responsible for global warming because humanity had lived through the Roman Warm Period, the cooler Dark Ages, and then the Medieval Warm period. In June, she retweeted former Hercules actor Kevin Sorbo calling for PragerU to be taught “in ALL schools.”

Totally not a trump fan by any stretch of the imagination, but IMO a comment like this needs evidence. There's plenty of evidence out there that has come straight from his mouth, of women, powerful women, that he has called nasty:- Hilary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Meghan Markle, Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren and now Mette Frederiksen. Those are the ones that we know of but I bet there are many others he calls " nasty" in private. Other women he disparages—- Megan Kelly, Rosie O’Donnell, Summer Zeros, Stormy McDaniel, Omarosa, Carly Fiorna, Katerina Witt, Megan Rapino, Heidi Cruz....

Tom Cotton thinks he’s going to be president someday. Hopefully never gonna happen ... although I have to say, after Trump, even Tom Cotton doesn’t look as horrific as he used to.

So Denmark, I hear Puerto Rico is up for grabs. Or, at least he could be interested in a land swap. Greenland for Puerto Rico. He supposedly said it as a joke, but I’m sure that he would be more than willing if he thought there was a chance.

More.......... The U.S. reportedly plans to open a consulate in Greenland for the first time in decades amid President Trump’s interest in the island. The State Department, in a letter to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee obtained by The Associated Press on Friday, said the move to reopen the consulate in Greenland's capital of Nuuk was part of a larger plan to increase American presence in the Arctic. The U.S. has a “strategic interest in enhancing political, economic, and commercial relationships across the Arctic region,” the letter said. It also reportedly said a permanent presence would permit the U.S. to “protect essential equities in Greenland while developing deeper relationships with Greenlandic officials and society.” The letter stated that the consulate would be “a critical component of our efforts to increase U.S. presence in the Arctic and would serve as an effective platform to advance U.S. interests in Greenland.” ** thehill.com/policy/international/europe/458662-us-planning-to-open-greenland-consulate-for-the-first-time-in

Wait, he actually said that, joke or not? That we would consider trading Puerto Rico for Greenland?
How does anyone who claims to be a decent person continue to support this monster?

I don’t think he should have any influence of any sort in the Artic region. Our planet couldn’t cope.
