1. Lunch with Vance and Rubio – hand me the Pepto.

2. H-Man, he moves to the beat of a different drummer, a drummer who God never envisaged as a drummer but still remains as a drummer.

3. H-Man, he is casting aspersions upon everyone while he basks in his glory. You have to wonder when the people recognize the King’s clothing is not gold.

4. Mr. Carney’s speech the other day illuminated a truth other Davos power players are afraid to whisper out loud. Trump will not honor any deal or promise any longer than it suits him. His history on this has been clear for decades.
   Negotiating any deal with him for the use of Greenland, especially if it contained the loose language suggested above is a fool’s bet. Work through all the bluster on Trump’s part and you land at rare earth mineral extraction. Those materials will happen to fall underneath a freshly claimed military base which includes mineral rights. Dig barely deeper and you’ll see someone in Trump’s cohort granted the concession to develop those commodities.
   Such actions will be said to benefit both the people of Greenland and the United States (ala Venezuela and their(?) oil). When that benefit falls differently, Carney will give another speech to the fearfully deaf.

   1. Yep. That about sums it up.

5. I wonder, is exploiting Greenland’s mineral resources actually economic? Why has it not been done before now?

   1. I recall that a few years ago there was a listed small cap company promising t mine rees there. I stopped following it when it dropped below $1.
