'We'll make it part of Alaska': Ex-Trump adviser explains plan to take over Greenland

Former National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien explained President-elect Donald Trump's plan to "extract the minerals and oil" from Greenland by making the territory "part of Alaska."

…
"I mean, the native people in Greenland are very closely related to the people of Alaska, and we'll make it a part of Alaska," he claimed. "So we're going to either buy it, or they're going to defend it, or they can pay us to defend it."

… more …

(at the very least he’s a former advisor … for now… meanwhile the stupid hurts, start by giving this boy a map…)

1. How are northern european descendents similar to aletian indians?

Or does he mean anglo alaskins?

Just curious.

[Hekate]

16. He has no doubt dimly heard of the Circumpolar Peoples, and in the dim recesses of his brain...

…imagines their existence (which is real) is something a madman who wants to rule the world can exploit.

21. Ceptin the inuits have been mixing with danes since the 1700's....

Yes, technically ~90% of the population is inuit, but racial mixing has been going on for so long the populated areas are much more european in appearance.

Like alaska, native tribes do exist, but have been marginalized.

But there are only about 60k people in the whole country, so its splitting hairs.

My guess he has greenland confused with iceland. He is an idiot so its likely.

2. Right. The native people of Alaska and Greenland are closely related.

So much so, that they frequently jump in their cars are drive over for a visit and dinner.

13. Not that it's relevant to Trump's idiotic ploy, but I believe they are all considered Inuit peoples

and are fairly closely related, probably much closer to Inuit populations nearer in Canada.

3. Greenland is 3000 miles from Alaska.

It is a 17 hour flight.

[cbabe]

4. But they can see it from their kitchen window.

[rsdsharp]

14. 17 hours? What plane are you using?

[Irish_Dem]

15. All the internet sources say 16-17 hours. No direct flights.

Do you have another more accurate flight time?

[rsdsharp]

17. It may be 16-17 hours travel time. It's not a 17 hour flight.

That would be an average of about 175 miles per hour. It took me 24 hours to get to Hong Kong, but it was three flights and two layovers.

[Irish_Dem]

18. What is the correct flight time?

I wonder why internet says 16-17 hours.

[underpants]

20. Just imagine the intrastate college football rivalry

Spoken like a clueless Trump associate

BTW the University of Greenland doesn’t even have a mascot.

[greatauntoftriplets]

5. Someone give that man a globe.

[spanone]

6. Lunatics running the asylum.

[delisen]

7. Trump is just preparing them as a present for Putin

The great benefit of Trump as Putin’s puppet is that we are beginning to see that Mexico has a strong female leader and is advancing economically, socially and on the world stage.

Canada is looking good and Panama is also. We are finally being confronted we the reality of our weaknesses and maybe this is the necessary step in moving forward.

8. Hey Chaffetz, Tennessee doesn't pay for anything.

Agreeing with O'Brien, Chaffetz complained that "the people of Tennessee have to pay for everybody's defense around the world, whether it's the Panama Canal or Greenland."

[underpants]

9. Translation: It'd be a damn shame if something happened to that island ya got there

That headline made my laugh.

[Scrivener7]

10. Why is anyone entertaining these conversations with these morons?

[cbabe]

11. Feeding the msm monster. Keeping the clicks coming.

[Disaffected]

12. "I mean, the native people in Greenland are very closely related to the people of Alaska,...."

Hey, they're all Eskimos so why not??

[sinkingfeeling]

19. I think he flunked geography.

[ananda]

22. And give it Putin, now that he wants Alaska back?

Sounds about right....
