    Trump has no idea why he wants Greenland. Someone close to him is feeding him ideas, while feeding his ego.

    Greenland is set to become an economic producer in the future, but we have maybe a century before that even starts. I gotta think you’re right, Greenland is a distraction from all the other bullshit. Keep them talking and no one will notice the really evil shit

      Greenland is because Putin wants to destabilize both the EU and NATO. He wants the US to lose its allies.

      Panama is because Russian ships aren’t allowed through, and Outin wants that to change.

      It’s not even specifically about hiding the evil shit (which is still an issue, of course). The pos has weaponized gish gallop to the utmost extreme, flooding news with absurdities so it becomes an exercise in futility to handle any of them. A lot won’t go anywhere, either, which helps normalize it all further.
