But that is of course classically on-brand, for Tangerine: make a preposterously outlandish claim, and try to ultimately settle for half of the fraudulently asserted claim.

It won’t work this time though — as the Danish King is an ally since long before WWII, and has the backing of the EU and NATO… and… the US has no legitimate rationale to have anything more than the small base it now occupies on the island.

The whole thing is a completely stupid exercise in d!ck wagging, by Trump and Vance.

And Bill Glahn — the newest “boy”, at Powerline — flat out admits it, in his concluding paragraph. [Just as Russia has no legitimate claim to the ocean floor under the North Pole. Damn son — we don’t want to emulate Vlad. Not at all.]

Charming.
