Originally posted by JimL View PostYes, Trump hadsn't totally destroyed the Obama recovery of the Bush economy yet, but he's working hard at it. It's the republican way, destroy the economy, increase the national debt, and then leave it for the democrats to clean up while they try to pin the blame for the mess on them.

Originally posted by LeonhardHe asked us whether we would sell one of our colonies,
Denmark already practically crawls on its knees for you guys.
We're part of your NSA organized spy ring, you've been given deep access to the network of Denmark, so that can also get some intel scrappings. We decided to go ahead with your fault ridden F-35 fighters, who do a massive data dump to US servers each time they land and we can't be told what that data dump consists of, and its just kinda part of the deal so far, oh and their batteries short out when they fly over areas we still have to patrol. Such as Greenland and the Arctic. We can get a fix, eventually, maybe. Also, we aren't allowed to do any kind of repairs to them other than using replacement parts, and we are not allowed to make those either, even though factories in Denmark make them. The parts have to be shipped to Florida and sold back to us. We are not allowed access to the software, or the drivers of the planes. We frankly don't know if they come with an off switch you guys can flip.
We participate in your wars. We let you build massive military installations on Greenland, and ignore the huge amounts of pollution and leaks that occur from that place. Or when you leave armed nuclear warheads sitting there, by accident, even though we have an agreement signed since the eighties about you not doing that. We let you build a missile base on Greenland in the fifties, where you also decided to put an experimental nuclear reactor to power said base, none of which you cleaned up when you abandoned it.
But we've enjoyed a long and friendly relationship with you. We buy your planes, even though we might have gotten a better deal from the French. We look the other way considering the pollution you caused on Greenland, and delayed negotiations on that, after all Greenland is a big place. We smoothed it out diplomatically regarding those nuclear warheads.
For all that, I believe a modicum of respectful treatment from you could be asked for.
Not for the US to swagger in and make outrageous suggestions about us selling a colony we're still paying reparations for our history with.
you did lose a diplomatic opportunity but it shouldn't be a big loss.
What negatives do we accrue? None. What benefits would we recieve, nothing significant. You're not going to give us a better deal on the fighter jets, source code access, or permission to manufacture spare parts ourselves, even friendlier presidents than Trump was adamant on that. The mess on Greenland will still sit there. And your Thule base will still be a mess we accept you have up there.Last edited by Leonhard; 08-29-2019, 01:44 AM.
