'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…)
