Will Poland help defend Greenland against US Imperialism

@cms neuf
I certainly understand all three better than you. How much time have you spent in the US and Canada? How much crypto do you own?

4 years

2 weeks

About 5000 euros "worth" (in fact it's worth zero in the long run)

In each case it's about enough

They invented them (most likely)....

I agree and said that in post #2 of this thread and asked to move it to the back page
While we have all gone off topic on this trolling thread may I add that the U.S. will be going to war with China soon.
I wonder how many NATO countries will support the U.S. with their military.
Xi Jinping has a not-so-subtle message for the West: China intends to seize Taiwan.
And it may be up to Trump to stop them.

Well, those threads concerning global issues have something to do with Poland because global issues naturally affect Poland as Well.

That is such an invention that it could be invented a few times in a few places simultaneously.
Poland invented vodka in 1403 and at the same time, the Irish invented whiskey, also in 1403.

could be... or could have originated in northern china then brought to eastern europe by the mongols...

absent a time machine it's hard to say, but I was responding to the idea that chinese wouldn't like (didn't have) stuffed dumplings when it's a basic part of the cuisine

Are you gonna invade Greenland or not?

@cms neuf
If you spent 2 weeks in Canada you dont understand Canadians. 4 years in the US does not make you an expert either. Like I am not an expert on Poland after six years. Do you know how many Canadians already own property in the US? How many Americans own Canadian property? These two countries could easily merge, and Canadians would be a lot better off for it. Canadians get destroyed on the exchange rates, pay much higher taxes, and have much higher inflation. Put it to a vote, and it wouold be pretty close. 5K in crypto is a lot more than I expected from you. I have been trading crypto for years, trading is different than holding or investing. Holding or investing in crypto is not very smart, it is too volitile.

No one is invading Greenland. But now it looks like Greenland will make the move to be independent from Denmark.

Yeah I bought a bit a couple of years back. I think it's nonsense, but I might be wrong. Think I paid about 1500 usd so a decent gain. Not sure why you would make any more money trading crypto than trading coffee beans or anything else

Ordinary Canadians have higher living standards than the US - less crime, longer lives. Most of the difference in wages is only for the wealthy 10 percent of Americans.

Quebec would be a problem.... I remember years ago before some independence referendum that the CW was that if Quebec left the rest would end up being absorbed by the US (going from Canadian province to US state).

I don't see Quebec wanting to become a state however (since it would have to commit to English only sooner or later).

Nunuvaat (or whatever it's called) could be problematic as well...

But I mainly view Trump's rhetoric as political poker with russia.... he's playing crazy guy and saying in effect: hey russians, want to get into a competition about annexing other places? We can wipe your nose in it because people like us.... we don't even have to invade!

Trump has a talent for putting russia on its back foot so.... we'll see....

Greenland has no real potential for independence since it can't pay for itself unless it gets into resource extraction (which it doesn't have the manpower for)...

I suspect there will be inceased US presence withing the current status quo.

What a "charming" Nazi peasant! :D


No, it's a way of showing you how far gone you are. Would you prefer me to call you a Putinist-like imperialist? Because you sound like one.


I wasn't commenting on US-Canada relationship, but on your comment about how "easy" it would be for the US to invade Canada.


Are you sure about this? Where does it say so?
Because it seems to me that Panama is doing the maintenance of the canal:

voanews.com/a/panama-canal-maintenance-work-aims-to-extend-its-life-by-a-century/7093383.html

'"These Panama Canal locks are more than 100 years old, and our maintenance plan is designed to extend their life for another 100 years," Miguel Lorenzo, vice president of infrastructure and engineering for the canal authority, told AFP.

(...)

The canal authority says it invests more than $400 million a year in maintenance projects.'

Can I use it or do you have a copyright on that one?

Like Ukrainians under Russian rule., hahahaha

@mafketis
Excellent point on Quebec. I think they would prefer the tax system of the US though as well.

@cms neuf
I work a lot with Canadians, and those I know do not think the Canadian level of living is better than the US. The healthcare is a disaster. I have colleague who had to go to the US and pay out of pocket for a heart surgery that he was on a nine month wait list for in Canada. In the US, it was scheduled in a week.

@Novichok
Feel free to use.

@Paulina
Again, go fvck yourself princess, its obvious no man will with your attitude and view of the world.

Yes, we know, you work with every nationality anywhere. And you`ve been everywhere. Practically, the whole world. :):):)
Yet, you decided to settle in Poland. We are so proud of ourselves now. :):):)

That is not nesseserily true but when it comes to marriage you are onto something.

you and your insects are lame.

Why did they not go private in Canada, bet it would have been cheaper?

Yes, that story by Polam about Canadians looking for better health care in the US did sound suspicious to me. Amassing he is able to make up such stories to make a point. Quite cheap.

Interesting point of view:

It seems the whole story isn't that black and white...Trump bad, Danes good....not at all! If the Danes lose Greenland they will have only themselves to blame....

It still is. A responsible president shouldn't be threatening violent take over of a territory of a sovereign, allied country.

What the Danish colonisers did was eugenics in a pure and unadulterated form, something they and their allies put Germans on trial for a few years before. Imperialism is wrong just like the creation of Panama for US domestic interests was wrong.

I think current inhabitants of Panama would argue with that


If I were American and could vote in the last election, I would vote for Trump - but I am saddened by his rhetoric towards Greenland, Panama and Canada

..and I would never expect it from him in his second term... oh well, how little I know it seems

So? gonna boycott things that go through it?

The original plan was to use Nicaragua (taking advantage of Lake Nicaragua).

It was a titanic achievement so boo hoo if it doesn't meet your exquisite standards of ethical power politics.

Letting China have any kind of control was a major mistake that needs to be undone.

It's Panamanian and Panama should receive a lion's share of the profits but the US can't allow it to be controlled by an enemy (like current communist China).

you're a funny guy - who would bother controlling the tundra - almost nobody lives there after all


I'm sort of with you on that one

interesting fantasy


your views of Canada are completely outdated - their prime minister has resigned recently and not for no reason and his party will probably will be wiped out in the elections that will have to take place in October at the latest

With money from huge tariffs on American vessels including our military's warships.
When the U.S. goes to war with China (and we will within the next ten years) you will see who owns that canal.

You could have a special military operation to liberate it from the Nazi regime. Your little brothers in Panama will welcome you with open arms.

Not Nazis... Chinese Communists... run by the party responsible for more deaths than any other and that caused the worst famine in human history (with perfect institutional continuity from then till now).

Do you want to depend on Chinese Communists, comrade?

@mafketis
Seriously listen to yourself. You have undone everything you have said on other threads. If It's not about ethical standards it's about might being right. You are a hypocrite.

I am not saying that to score some point I'm saying it cos it's true.

Are there any US citizens on here prepared to criticise US foreign policy. Doesnt seem so, looks like the hive mind is strong.
