  • The US HAS a base in Greenland. Formerly Thule Air Base, now Pituffik Space Base belongs to the United States Space Force, (which Trump created) and used to station B-52 Bombers and shit like that to threaten the USSR during the cold war.

    Thing ist:

    The 1951 Greenland Defense Agreement allows the United States to operate the base under a NATO framework, as long as both Denmark and the United States remain NATO members.

    (Emphasis by me)

    I think Trump wants to leave NATO and keep this important base.

    To be honest, I could have had a better paycheck doing industrial plumbing for an international chem-corp near my hometown, but I really love solving problems and puzzles and to work with my mind, not my hands. Programming was my hobby since I was 16, and I just made my hobby into a job. Still love it.

    Kestrels and falcons are each others closest relatives.

    Both are more closely related to parrots than to kites hawks and eagles. In fact falcons are more closely related to tits than to hawks. But tits are more closely related to parrots than to falcons. Fuck, eagles and hawks are more closely related to woodpeckers than to falcons.

    Bird cladistics is wild!
