24. Same for our phony invasion of IRAQ
Sat Jan 10, 2026, 03:27 PM
Saturday

The entire U.S. Military, and taxpayer money spent, so that Cheney/Rumsfeld could divide IRAQ up among six U.S. Oil Companies.
The expenses for the IRAQ war are still continuing to mount...Injured, maimed soldiers, replacement of arms used, etc.
The current estimate for the U.S., so far, (for the total U.S. cost of the IRAQ war), just passed TWO TRILLION DOLLARS and still counting....
Rumsfeld told us the IRAQ invasion, was going to be over in THREE DAYS, the citizens of IRAQ would be lining the streets throwing flowers at our troops leaving, and the total cost to the U.S. Taxpayers would be THREE BILLION dollars, which would be repaid by IRAQ owned oil companies, from the sales of the countries oil in the first year.......

Greenland can't put up much resistance, I think their entire population is something like 50,000 people.
Putin desperately needs/wants not only Greenland, but Iceland, Northern Canada, and even Alaska if he can get it back.....
And Trump/Republicans will try and get it so that Putin won't disgrace them all with Kompromat collected over decades, along with all the Ton of Epstein material Putin possesses......

If Trump and Republicans go into Greenland, The other NATO countries will have to come from Europe to help defend Greenland from the U.S. (and Russia), and Trump will leave NATO........Greenland will be conquered without the U.S. to defend them, and the European NATO countries won't be able to help Greenland and also defend themselves form Putin's invasions, just like Hitler in WWII.
