As usual, the trumpettes bend over backwards to make yet another totally irrational "idea" by their orange overlord sound plausible.
The Louisiana Purchase, is not even remotely comparable. You won your War of Independence against the Brits with the help of France. As a consequence, France retained a huge swathe of land which ran through the middle of your newly formed nation. You couldn't fight them for it so, some twenty years later you paid them for it.
Alaska was settled by Russian merchants and fur trappers but, very few Russians actually lived there. Those in power in the British and French held territory which would ultimately become Canada didn't seem to care about Russian presence very much. You lot couldn't very well march through foreign territory to take it so, you bought Alaska from Russia. Again, not even remotely comparable to this latest nonsense from the orange moron.
But it gives you all a hard-on for the trumpster so.......🤷♂️

Good point. The rest of the world isn’t doing a fraction of what we in the US are @MarmeeMarch

@jackjjackson Sure we produce waste but we clean up after ourselves. Not like in Asia where they have toner cartridges that are stories high - opening them up and cleaning them and refiling them. Or the fact that they still use lead paint( in my opinion we should have never cut that out) Who the fuck eats paint chips ? paint is paint if a kid peels off paint in the house then I would think paint chips is the least of their household problems.

Is he actually pushing to buy it, or is it merely an inquiry/question/pondering/discussion? There’s nothing wrong with “hey, I’ve got an off the wall idea, what do you think?” Sometimes off-the-wall ideas can become good ideas, and other times they get tossed in the bin. Just like any other proposal, I’d want to see the numbers from some sort of cost-benefit analysis. After my initial “is he nuts?” reaction, I’m starting to think that this might be one of the few ideas he’s thrown out there that is actually in his wheelhouse in terms of his background and knowledge. I’ll reserve judgment until it becomes an actual proposal with dollars behind it.

Tell her I said this. As a mother if and when she has kids she should move them to. Safe place. It’s her responsibility. If she wants to move you as the one blessed to have her hot to it. @QuixoticSoul

@soar2newhighs Some are harder to bend than others - in nations with functional rule of law anyway.

@AnneHoney The whole world is already helping melt the snow for them. Have you seen the reports of melting glaciers from NASA?

@jackjjackson Pretty much all he could. It’s Ukraine, the Russians will always care more.
Also, whoever is talking about attacking a founding member of NATO over Greenland has lost their bloody mind 😂
