1) Fuck it. Shitposting about #GreenlandPurchase it is.
DO NONE OF THESE DUMB MOTHERFUCKERS TRYING TO GIVE SHIT TO TRUMP ABOUT BUYING GREENLAND REMEMBER THAT THEY WERE FLIPPING OUT ABOUT THIS SHIT 6 GODDAMN YEARS AGO?!?!?!?

2) You don't recognize the name of that writer do you? Oh, don't worry, its just another fly by night fucking quartz journalist who is knee-deep in the fearmongering about muh Trump recession.
muckrack.com/gwynn-guilford…
3) Articles like, "The US economy is coming down from a sugar high. How bad will the headache be?"
"Trump's war on Huawei risks hobbling US innovation"
"The net impact of Trump's new NAFTA is probably nothing"
4) The crisis over Greenland being bought wholesale by China was so bad 6 years ago that Greenland's government was tossed out and replaced based effectively on that alone!
theguardian.com/world/2013/mar…
5) A few years later, and Trump mentions buying Greenland right in the midst of an economic showdown with China? Suddenly everyone is losing their fucking minds!
theguardian.com/world/2019/aug…
6) Not that it kept the Communist-cock-sucking Failing New York Times from helping to run PR for the Chinese in their attempted 2013 takeover (Isn't it funny that most of their older articles are free, but they like to hide inconvenient op eds like this?) archive.is/J7wKc
7) "But let us stay cool as we discuss these prospects. Farfetched speculation is currently emanating from think-tanks and commentators on how Chinese military bases and Greenland’s rapid independence from Denmark are likely offshoots of these industrial projects."
8) 'Oh, no, fears about China using investments in foreign natural resources as a diving board for broader military expansion is TOTALLY unfounded!' say the fucking unregistered foreign lobbyists as a Chinese base goes up in GODDAMN DJIBOUTI
thediplomat.com/2018/12/chinas…
9) "Chinese investment may provide state-run Chinese companies with political leverage on the small and economically weak Selfrule Authority, but decision-makers in Nuuk are aware of these risks. They are weighing the pros and cons of Chinese investments." Then they got fired 🤣
10) Call this one a Comrade Fudge fucking guarantee:
Greenland's ruling coalition that won in 2013 sold the FUCK out to China thediplomat.com/2019/02/china-…
11) They sold out once China dumped enough filthy lucre via lobbyists into their pockets, and continued on with business as usual, prompting Trump's off-the-cuff discussions about how to kneecap China's northern hemisphere expansionism.
12) And now, all the people that said 'don't worry, China's not trying to turn Greenland into Tienanmen Launch Base' are SCREAMING BLOODY FUCKING MURDER about Trump wanting to buy Greenland. Just trace back the writers and outlets. I guaran-fucking-tee it.
