The soldiers are symbolic. Any attack on them is an attack on all of Europe (well those countries present in Greenland).

If you are going to have a war, you don’t want 1000s of your best soldiers stuck in a snowdrift.

That’s what years of curry and lager in deep space does to you.

Krytens skin is still young looking though.

Seemingly Cat hasn’t aged at all.

Rimmer: United America? Who’s that?

Kryten: Well, at the end of the 23rd century, America attempted to bring peace to the world by asking every nation on Earth to sign a peace treaty.

Any nation that refused, they invaded.

Now, a war ensued that was called the War Against War. Those countries who went to war because they were so against war, they were prepared to go to war to fight in a war against war, called themselves United America.

United America

(Sorry can’t find a better source)

This doesn’t pass my smell test.

Sources who spoke to Reuters requested anonymity to discuss private conversations.

The vision for Greenland, one of the people said, could include a hub for artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, space launches, micro nuclear reactors and high-speed rail.

So everyone who said NO is no longer there?

Not for long.

Yes. Invasion is not necessary to extract them. Money is.

In June, the US Export-Import Bank offered a $120 million loan to advance the development of the $290 million Tanbreez rare earth project in Southern Greenland. That same month, Denmark’s Export and Investment Fund (EIFO) increased its shareholding in Canada’s Amaroq Minerals, owner of a portfolio of critical minerals properties in Southern Greenland

In January, GreenRoc Strategic Materials, a developer focused on graphite in Greenland, announced that EIFO had expressed an interest in providing funding for its Amitsoq graphite project in Southern Greenland. The Amitsoq project was subsequently designated as an EU strategic project, granting access to funding and support from EU Member States and financial institutions.

Hammeken-Holm welcomed these developments, adding that foreign investment is critical for overcoming Greenland’s significant environmental and logistical challenges. SOURCE

Being poor.

Under both, local products become cheaper than foreign.

Less immediate than war with the EU or China.

Trump plans to use Venezuela’s huge crude reserves ‘to cut US oil price to $50 a barrel’ but companies need a market price of about $65 a barrel to break even on their production costs

Trump is an awful businessman.

the value is partially based on it’s rarity

Nope. A bond is not a house or a pokemon. All bonds are the same. Only price matters. Not rarity.

A selloff is also a buyoff. Both seller and buyer think they have the better deal.

How do you think selling works. If you sell something, someone buys it from you.

A mass selloff also means that there was a mass buying.

The number of bonds remains fixed (or reduces). Supply only increases if the US issues more bonds.

The quote is obvious bullshit. You can only have a surge in selling if there is an exactly equal surge in buying. One seller = one buyer.

Use your brain and don’t just quote from random websites.

Repaying debt or borrowing more to pay interest becomes even more expensive for the us.

Yes. This I agree. But the current administration has shown it is willing to ignore future consequences.

Higher yields are irrelevant if the project 2025 goal is to “Abolish the Federal Reserve” page 768

Yes. This is Trumps goal. Make foreign goods super expensive for consumers and manufacturers. Exactly what a Tariff does.

They are isolationists. They don’t want debt held overseas.

If you think correcting someone’s macro economic misunderstandings is trolling then you will be meeting many more trolls.

Supply is the same unless debt is cancelled. A weaker dollar makes it easier to pay interest.

"If you owe foreign banks $100, that’s your problem. If you owe foreign banks $100 trillion that’s the foreign bank’s problem.”

Debt cancelling is a deflationary action. It reduces the money supply.

Yes. No new debt sold abroad. But also no need to raise debt to pay off existing debt.

Also rasing more debt is a future problem. Does this administration care about the long term? No.
