  1.  @Polynuttery  How is it imperialism when Greenland was settled by Danes from Iceland in 986 AD and the Thule from Alaska in 1300 AD?

  2.  @Prolute  Yep. Doesn't change the point. Reread my comment.

  3.  @Prolute  Ukraine is Ukrainian, not Russian; just as Norway is Norwegian, not Danish.

  4.  @Prolute  It was implied by the original comment I replied to. Keep swinging, sport.

  5.  @Prolute  Nope. Before. Answer the question. How is this imperialism?

  6.  @Prolute  And yet, that is the question on the table. Keep your elbow up; it'll give you control and leverage. The outfield fence only looks far away. We have faith in you, sport.

  7. As much as I respect Nielsen's perspective and analysis, the only value to this conversation is, why is it getting oxygen?

  8. Because the other party wasn't listening to the concerns of the people. That is how democracy works.

  9. I kind of like Hawaii and it is a state, not a territory. Would you consider the Virgin Islands? It is closer, and title issues would be much simpler.

  10.  @arturobianco848  I agree, but as a product/victim of the American public education system, it is more of an indictment that we need to be spoon-fed analysis that a well educated high school student should be able to make for themselves.

  11.  @arturobianco848  It is not my intelligence that is insulted. This issue is only important when it is given oxygen, which most readers can discern was my point.

  12.  @larsrons7937  Nope. It just needs to be left on the ground to flop like all of his other rhetoric.

  13.  @arturobianco848  Those with cognitive ability would understand the point I was making is that giving this issue air only inflates it, so, no, I am not the one insulted.

  14.  @larsrons7937  Pouring gas on the fire doesn't put it out.

  15. People. The point is: Greenland isn't for sale and America is not going to invade. It is a moot point. There are events in the world that are actually consequential that need to be discussed.

  16.  @larsrons7937  Nielsen actually starts with the statement "Trump apparently wants to expand the Unite States." No he doesn't. A proper analysis would be why is he posturing for it? what is actually his ultimately end game? That ... would be the expert analysis you are looking for.

  17.  @arturobianco848  Unfortunately, that just reinforces the meme people need to be treated like children and that the man actually means what he says. A good analysis would be why he said this, what his real goals were.

  18.  @Fidwor  No. The Danes were there first. How are they imperialist?

  19.  @Joakim-j7h  Nope. They were in Alaska.

  20.  @Fidwor  Ah, yes, it does mean that.
