Eric Schmitt
[January 15, 2026]

Territorial expansion is a time-honored American tradition—think Louisiana Purchase, Alaska. We’re a frontier people—it’s in our blood.
Acquiring Greenland isn’t a silly idea. It makes all the sense in the world.

[….]

Geography still matters at sea.

Greenland sits astride the GIUK Gap—the northern gate to the Atlantic.

If adversaries can move submarines and sensors freely through it, they can threaten transatlantic reinforcement, undersea cables, and U.S. war plans.

As the Arctic becomes more navigable, it also becomes more contested.

More traffic means more survey ships, dual-use activity, and gray-zone operations.

[….]

Some people never get out of junior high school.

If Denmark, Iceland, and the United Kingdom are no longer allies because Donald Trump takes Greenland than the GIUK North Atlantic gap doesn’t mean shit.

No NATO, no North Atlantic trade, dumbass. No NATO, no need for reinforcements, dumbass.

“…As the Arctic becomes more navigable, it also becomes more contested…”

Is that because of, gasp, global warming/climate change, dickweed?

“[Eric] Schmitt is a Fascist doosh”

Some of the responses to Eric Schmitt (r):

It is a bat shit crazy idea. 75% of Americans oppose the idea. And the fact that you are even entertaining it should disqualify you from any public office in the United States of America.

What if Russia decided to expand and wants Alaska?

Trump (r) has set the precedent.

[….] We will lose NATO membership and every single base we have in Europe as well as the collaboration and goodwill of our longtime allies.

Sure…agree…it’s not a silly idea. It’s another idiotic idea concocted by our stable genius.

So, we need their resources?
We could call it operation lebensraum, that way the Germanic linguists in Greenland will feel heard.

Senator Eric Schmitt STFU, you Russian asset. Move already. Russia is calling MAGA to help fight their pathetic war where they’re being spanked by the Ukranians. Real patriots. Something you would know nothing about you fucking turncoat.

Mommy I want Greenland! Give me Greenland!!

I am speechless.😶 I am so ashamed of your statement, Senator. Maybe some reflection of what your duties of Senator entails and how you represent the state of Missouri – not the lawless regime.

We were surrounded by allies until the regime began threatening all of them.

You can help the current owners, who are NATO members and allies, secure it and prevent Russia or China getting a foothold. You would be welcomed and even celebrated.
But you can’t have it, it’s not for sale.
If you take it, you betray your allies and become just another China or Russia, a bully nation, and you weaken your own security rather than strengthen it.
This is a chance for the USA to show its quality. The world is watching.

“…This is a chance for the USA to show its quality…” Too late. That ship sailed in November 2016.

But, the Greenlanders have said, again and again and again, that they don’t want to be a part of the US. Why should we not respect that? Why do we need to be imperialist? Why do we need to threaten to take it by military force? Why are you all mouth-breathing morons?

No. We need to stay with NATO.

Bootlicking insanity

So are borders important or not?

This isn’t our territory. What is wrong with you?

This administration’s making us less safe. Not more.

Put the crackpipe down, Eric

Greenland is not a priority…at all. And it’s certainly not worth breaking our alliance in NATO. If you didn’t have your head so far up Trump’s ass, you’d see this.

We literally spent most of the 20th century pushing the world away from doing things that way, after it led to a pair of world wars that killed millions.
Even more ill advised to normalize wars of armed robbery in a world where nuclear weapons exist and are the most effective guarantors of territorial integrity. Nuclear proliferation will ramp up dramatically as smaller nations seek to protect their sovereignty.

It’s not a time honored anything. It’s Putin’s play book.

“Make America Great Again” – in Russian.

The logical conclusion of this argument is that the US must control all territories, everywhere, or Russia and China will. Greenland is our ally and will cooperate with our national security interests.
I believe this is about “critical minerals”, which are “critical” to investments made by the President’s wealthy supporters, including his son.

Grifters.

Greenland says NO. What part of that don’t you understand? Sit down!

Resign.

If it is so vital to US strategic interests why have you closed 30 out of 31 bases you had on Greenland since the 1950s?

Nice way to say invasion.

Hitler took over Europe. So it’s ok???

Take Greenland and the world will be against us. We will have no allies and it will be us against the rest. This administration is doing so much harm to the world, pitting us against ourselves, wrecking an already fragile environment, and foreign policy is take what we want whether they like it or not. Something is going to break and I’m afraid it will be us.

batshit fucking crazy

You’re a damn idiot if you think this makes us safer. This destroys NATO, exactly what Russia has been trying to do since 1945 or so.

Sovereign countries aren’t territory to expand into, asshole. And, maybe get your own house in order before ruining yet another part of the world.

Fuck you, fascist.

It’s not too late to delete this staggeringly stupid post.

It is now.

Sounds like something the nazis would do.

Eric Schmitt you are a clown. White men in suits nothing but, lap dogs for another grown man. You all are tyrants. Greenland is not ours to take.
