It could be as simple as a greater presence in the region since China and Russia have been buzzing it for a while now.
I do agree that they over embellish but again, that's part of being able to see through that.
That's what war games, doctrine studies, and training are for. I mean when was the last time the USN was in a full blown war with a massive blue water navy? That's right, WW2. I have no doubt the US has better military doctrine, but let's not pretend China have no idea what they are doing.
Petrodollar is a political way of saying that the US would quite like to buy oil from Saudi Arabia with Dollars. There is no "petro dollar" trade currency separate to the dollar. This is no global rapid response petro dollar task force with aircraft carriers that bombs any country selling crude oil for a currency other than dollars.You must always do your research on anything you see in the media or youtube but as far as the information goes, I'd trust them over some mainstream doofus like Jim Cramer.
As far as the term petrodollar, never heard it used as or considered it a hype term. It just means what you described and I'm pretty sure that's implied.
Normal way? Countries like Germany still until recently continued to buy Russian gas. And they supposed to be allies of USA and Ukraine against Russia.
I think what we see with bluntness and misdirection is showing us what really goes on behind closed doors at meetings with allies, and not that fluffy bubble gum façade they sell to the public as "diplomacy."
Honestly I'm expecting an agreement to be reached in the coming months with Denmark where the US negotiates an increased military footprint on the island and the rights to build infrastructure to mine resources that can be purchased exclusively by NATO members and allies, while excluding China, Russia, etc. Trump makes for an excellent scapegoat for the EU every time he starts bloviating and it plays well for political theater… but behind closed doors, EU nations want access to the same materials that the US does. Greenland hosts some of the most important strategic resources in the world, and bureaucracy has kept the EU in a feedback loop of saying much but doing little. China has demonstrated that they can and will cut off access to rare earths, and they hold the cards right now. Why isn't the EU capitalizing on what they already have access to? The answer is uncomfortable: endless regulations, red tape, internal bickering, and decades of complacency. They literally can't do it as things stand.

He needs to move off Greenland if they are not interested, we can't do that by force
'Greenland belongs to its people': European leaders unite over Trump’s threats to annex territory

Who celebrates and pushes for this sort of conflict?
Kyle used to be someone on the left I could listen to but his brain completely broke after October 7th and since he married Krystal. He's a total parody of himself at this point. I'm not sure who's a bigger liar or more intellectually dishonest at this point, him or David Pakman.

Side note, though I am sure the vast majority know this here, the actual size of Greenland is much smaller than what maps portray it, called the Mercator projection
Luck isn't needed. I mean, I get it, if someone wanted access to stuff that was on my private property here in the US, I'd be livid. But the US is more than willing to be the bad guy if it means all of NATO and allies get to secure their future at the cost of the sovereignty of <60K people. It feels shitty, but it's a numbers game and when it comes to geopolitics, sentiment rarely drives longterm decision making. We love electric vehicles, solar panels, and modern weapon systems, but good luck making any of it without ample lithium, graphite, neodymium, and so forth. Rare earths are a massive vulnerability for western countries right now. Again, China has already demonstrated that they will cut off supply. Western countries cannot afford to maintain the status quo.
the goal is to disband NATO since Denmark will undoubtedly go to NATO and ask for help which they cant provide because america is part of NATO. Leading to a swift dissolution of NATO which has been a wish of Putin for a long time and trump as always is doing his bidding.
He knows how to rage-bait better than anyone.

Stopping the advance of China and Russia in Americas is not an insane foreign policy, here in South America we had +20 years of fucking commie leaning ideology that amounts to nothing but corrupt politicians with full pockets and worse quality of life for the general populace in the persuit of "equality" and "muh communism wasn't well implemented all these years, but somehow it will work out now, trust us and gives us another chance or else" FML...
I actually taught kids about the Mercator Projection and played around with it on the screen a little to show them how maps don't necessarily portray accurate sizes of countries. Tools like this are pretty neat.He needs to move off Greenland if they are not interested, we can't do that by force

Bankers. War is profitable.
