Your guest's characterization @36:50 of the Alaska purchase is a bit reductive. The negotiations came into earnest after Russia's loss in the Crimean War and Czar Alexander II's assessment that Russia was not in a position to defend Alaska against neighboring UK presence in Canada if another round of hostilities took off. Delays occurred under the Buchanan administration with much focus on the pending Civil War. Moreover, the middle 19th century was the period of, perhaps, the best US-Russian relationship historically: the US had clearly sympathized with Russia during the Crimean War with American doctors and military observers behind the Russian lines. Moreover, when the UK and France entreated Russia to join in coercing Lincoln into ceding the Confederacy, Alexander II rejected their invitation vehemently and sent his navies to the San Francisco and New York Bays in support of the Union. Russia wanted to focus on its own continental industrial and transportation network and was not interested in maintaining an outpost it could barely defend. Also, the US would hardly have been up to a military seizure across British territory with whom we did not have good relations and so shortly on the heels of the Civil War when reconstruction and completion of our own transcontinental railway was the order of the day. Seward and Russia's Edouard de Stoekl had a strong relationship post Civil War, so the transaction was made in good faith and to each side's interest. @François Picard : vous êtes merveilleux !

I don’t think people spend enough time actually laughing at Trump and his far-out fantasies, like when he planned on building a wall and making Mexico pay for it.

[@johntipeti4597]

i said this 4 years ago when macron was right about the european union required to create its own military bloc collective not individual to pair with its economic union. it is actually required as a balance in the world. but europe stuffs around

[@jokeychin]

Even if Trump immediately occupied Greenland tomorrow, Europe wouldn't make a move, don't expect anything from Europe.

[@mrjerzheel]

Maybe some EU countries would close US bases

[@acmelka]

I'm ashamed to be American. What happened?

[@xYarbx]

Your education system failed people can't tell fact from lie and thus can be fed any BS by populists that have god complex.

[@ecobasetech4558]

If you are so ashamed, then you are no true American.

[@AlGeoadis]

It important to point the fact none of Denmark’s 26 partners supports them… but it is nothing new. Turkey’s CASUS BELLI to Greece is in place for 20 years. None of Greece’s 26 partners also reacted to that.This is how EU contact itself, Something has to change!!

[@misterfunnybones]

What qualifies as defence spending? Sounds like offence spending.

[@hourbee5535]

Spending on American military hardware 😂

[@fingerprint8479]

Europe finally understanding what Henry Kisinger meant when he said: "to be an american enemy is dangerous but to be an american friend is fatal" That was about time! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@hyuxion]

It is the congress that can declare war, and Trump does not have control on the congress, that is the end of discussion.

[@samithesmooth2970]

You understand that there will be no war? You understand that that was against China and Russia??? Did you listen last Trumps speech and many others before? You can chill.

[@vemaraju]

Bush went to congress?

[@cee5429]

Ha you don't understand America. Laws are more like suggestions for the wealthy and powerful. USA has not had a war since WW2, Viet Nam and Korea were "police actions," etc

[@gumby7919]

You don’t need congress. How you think we bombed Syria and all the other nations

[@zacharymiller9521]

That's not true. They determine spending. Trump can enact the military as commander and chief.

[@KennethJarvis-j9m]

Quebec wants to speak French and Greenland is of course on Ice. You would just have to fight Germany for it later. 😄You blew Africa and Russia took you sh*t. I'd say Greenland is on Ice for France later.

[@wynetsang]

Free speech does not exclude emotion speech - temper tantrum.

[@goonerOZZ]

So how is Article 5 going to handle this? 🤣

[@joebloe4374]

😂

[@jentulj9611]

I think Nato member states should increase their budget considerably.

[@shlongdonky]

i wiish my country was not allied with america. i hope the world unify for the future of the planet

[@shlongdonky]

sick of australia joining america to commit war crimes. as far as i see it the world should isolate america and israil

[@Sharma2-4]

They will bankrupt😂😂😂😂😂

[@JenDor-r5t]

EU will be shocked hearing this

[@Didam_Robert]

How glad I'll be if Trump actualises his plan 😂. Europe is always cheerleading the U.S when it does exactly the same to other countries. How I'd love to see the look on their faces😂

[@songasalimsaleh1035]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@michaelsmith9590]

Near the end of the above forum, Mr. Loesekrug-Pietri touched upon a theme which Europe needs to recall: that there is strength in unity, especially in the situation of a threat from outside.

[@badabinbadaboom7338]

There is no threat from the outside but the one America creates. The USA IS the threat.

[@JenDor-r5t]

oh !!! this is the message kamala was trying to pass. this is serious

[@ecobasetech4558]

Along with trying to disarm the American people. FJB and FKH

[@hugovelasco3186]

Kamala does not even know where she is standing

[@MarcDoe-l4q]

Excellent discussion!

[@GreenPartyHat]

Greenland is MAGA

[@markrattenbury9924]

no its "NOT.".dic head

[@JacobafJelling]

Currently working in construction in Australia. They’re extracting iron ore Here. They have one of the highest standards of living, while still looking after nature and preserving important parts of it. And they’re also keeping indigenous interests in mind. Everyone lives a beautiful life. Denmark is currently sending billions of crowns to Greenland. The fact that Greenland has ruled out any extraction / mining, is a huge mystery to me. THEY COUPD HAVE A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE THEN DENMARK. Which in turn already maintain one of the 10 highest living standards on earth.. it’s backwards

[@JacobafJelling]

Greetings from a Dane, abroad in Australia. Long live Greenland. I’m glad that they still want to be a part of Denmark

[@joebloe4374]

​​@@JacobafJelling ❤please don't allow quaint peaceful fishing villages into crime ridden slums You don't Need Tyrone and laquosheeha ruining it I've seen first hand what the usa did to pr usvi guam hawaii saipan Only want them for military bases And what's he talking about...? Security ? usa has bases in Greenland already

[@jbeneliezer]

Ya got it wrong. OMG - Oh My Greenland, we’ll make it a great, beautiful US State.

[@dorthenielsen3429]

You have to ask and deal with præsident BIDEN right now. Where is your respect ? 🌏 CLOSE down from Elon Musk and Trump right now. Infact they have no influence in the world.

[@ecobasetech4558]

So how is offering to "buy" Greenland count as a threat?

[@insertoyouroemail]

He says he wouldn't rule out military means.

[@hiufgterde]

@@Gerryjournal he has a point though

[@Gerryjournal]

@@hiufgterde Get up to speed

[@bla-bla-bla...]

Not to "buy". Greenland has the right to be an independent state. Trump support the greenlanders in their aspirations for eliberation from the Danish occupation.

[@Centurion101B3C]

Well, Ever since I really started being interested in history and its effect on politics, I have come to the conclusion that I cannot any longer agree with Winston Churchil's assessment of the US that: "America will do the right thing, but not until they explored all of the alternatives." Instead I have reached the conviction that the the US will inevitably, enthusiastically and rigorously become exactly what it once fiercely fought against. It will likely end itself that way.

[@johnl946]

7:40 allies that dont pay for their own defense

[@stanleyquaye8851]

Now the Europeans will know that Russia is not the only threat they face...Their own threat is right under their feet..

[@hourbee5535]

Please USA bring freedom to Canada, Greenland and Panama.

[@Blopp2nd]

What freedom is that?

[@mitchellk.london6534]

Nonsense! Buy you want brand countries like Russia and china authoritarian states. United States at the end of it emperor
