And I think with no reason, coupled with a potential sales tax on the American people, coupled with the argument that we're going to have to, if we take this over, subsidize this this island.
I think that that's resonant for for people.
And I think it betrays the president's fundamental promise.
to his voters, which is to put our country first and to try to solve problems here rather than, you know, going around the world, being the world's policemen and spending massive amounts of money on on endless wars.
My guess is that that's probably something they wouldn't appreciate.
And you mentioned, look, you mentioned the dog sleds and the president keeps mocking this.
The fact that the Danish government, the Danish military has now two dog sleds there.
That is literally the only way to traverse the tundra parts of Greenland.
If you had motors, in many cases, those motors would cease working in the cold.
You couldn't have the amount of redundancy that the dog sleds have should the motors fail.
And you'd be stuck in the middle of a tundra and would likely die.
And so the only way to get across, particularly the northern part of the island, is with these dog sleds.
And so it shows that we don't have the knowledge yet.
Greenland is one of the most treacherous terrains in the world.
We do not even have the knowledge and we don't have the equipment, the ice breaking ships.
We don't have any of it to actually run Greenland.
It would collapse within weeks if the Danes pulled out.
I mean, I think we should fight.
I think we should fight smart.
My perspective on this, and I'm still deciding exactly.
