I just think it would be a good jumping off point as it's further West. Plus we could justify it by just saying that "we need it for economic security" like the Don has. That's the way it's done nowadays! 😁👍

How about I do Ireland and you take Greenland? Unless we have any other WW patriots who want to join the fight?

I'll do the Faroes. They sound soft.

Today Far West Europe, tomorrow the world!

They should welcome us with open arms too - as they'll officially be classed as England in future fixtures 😁

I see there's a high THC batch doing the rounds up there.

I thought you were behind enemy lines taking WA? I'm doing the east coast.

Fair point R. It's just the inertia of these WA Secessionists. I'll get them rolling sooner or later.

I have been asked for my opinion on manifesto pledges and asked would I like to proffer at least two.

Considering mandatory inclusion of mushy peas on every fish'n'chip shop menu and adoption of the verb 'to mither' into sandgroper vernacular.

Not settled yet. I am also considering the banning of skorts. An affront to the basic rights of males.

Gosh.

He’s a cunt. Plain and simple  

He is. 

The "threat of force" is frankly bluster and absolute stupidly. 

Not a chance that it will be used.

Just hearing that the inhabitants of the island actually want "independence" from Denmark, which actually has no jurisdiction over them.

Pure posturing and positioning for strategic and business benefits.

Better than having to actually deliver on all the promises he’s made for actual Americans though.

A lovely distraction, along with the essential and much needed change of name with the Gulf of Mexico.

I think we should steal his thunder on this one too.

Britain to take it over, have a public vote and rename it Gulfy McGulf-face.

That'll piss him off.

You think he's going to invade Greenland then?

Like him or loathe him, he has his way of doing things, and it worked when he threatened to pull out of NATO. America being unfair asked to pull far more than its proportional weight, and he changed that relatively quickly. 

No piss arsing about with protracted discussions and negotiations. 

Putin is a genuine bully, and isn't getting his own way, so an egotistical bullshit merchant- being in charge of a huge democracy- isn't going to just get Denmark to simply let him have the place.

He may however, manage to sort out a deal, whereby the US gets some mineral extraction rights or some such. 

Just as China has sorted in Africa.

He is certainly a hardball player though, and plays the way the EU do.

So Trump says whatever bollocks he wants and the rest of the world tries to guess if he is serious? Marvellous!

You all need to sit back, relax and watch. There is always a long game associated with these little gems he gets you all hopping with.

Someone tell him that Rockall is a strategically vital North Atlantic base that he can have for as little as £2B. "Trump Rockall" sounds a great hotel. Secluded, nice views and a great driving range.

Reckon I can take Greenland and you'll piss the Faroes. Bit worried about Kent taking on the rest of Ireland on his tod, but if we get ours done quick we can give him a hand.

 

It's happening - the new British Empire. Make Britain great again.

He's twitched about losing the top place at the table to China. This is what all of this is ultimately about in my humble opinion - from the geopolitical hotdesk in Astley Bridge!

The "Gulf of America" is a beautiful name, it really is, many people have said it's the best name they've ever heard, it's beautiful

I'm not sure Trump is bothered about "long games" he's only going to be in office for 4 years, then I'm sure he won't give a fuck what happens, as long as he's made sufficient money

He never has, and never will have one. I'm not sure why anybody thinks any different though. He's all about knee-jerk decisions, that either happen, or collapse very quickly, it's just how he is.
