US-owned Greenland and Gulf of America? What a weird week

Greenland is serious. The U.S. has been trying to grab it for a century. They have influenced the native population for decades and will continue to stir anti-Danish sentiment. A classic regime change operation like hundreds of others.

Many U.S. newspapers who have lectured us on Ukraine's sovereignty for four years are relatively silent on the issue. The All-In podcast (now almost a pure Trump outlet) were in favor and suggested other land grabs.

The EU, stripped of its will and subservient, makes meek comments. Apparently it is fine that 2 trillion in minerals will go to the U.S. and they can buy them back from the U.S.

My memory of post-WWII is that the US has a history of "changing" regimes in other countries, but has made very few (none? Maybe Cuba?) serious efforts to add territory to the actual land area of the United States.
