2 months agoBut Mexico has 63 more miles of coastline on the Gulf than the USA does. We should just leave it alone.
Wouldn’t surprise me if this was inspired to circumvent the new ban on oil drilling Biden just enacted. “We’re drilling in the Gulf of America, not the Gulf of Mexico.”
This has arisen in me a suspicion that Trump’s mandate that the US takes Greenland is a ploy to divert some NATO member funds away from Ukraine, and not actual territorial ambition.
Regardless, Greenland is considered NATO via Denmark, and there has been at least some signaling that Congress would resist Trump pulling US out of NATO. It would be disastrously moronic to piss off NATO, and unfortunately “disastrously moronic” doesn’t seem to be a deterrent for Trump. I don’t know where this is going, but I don’t like it either way.
