        I just do a search for the title of the article. Sometimes I get lucky and there's a non-paywall version on MSN or Yahoo.

          How a billionaire with interests in Greenland encouraged Trump to acquire the territory

          US president’s friend Ronald Lauder – who first proposed Arctic expansion – is now making deals in the island

            He demurred at the end, but NATO exists as of now.

              A brief history of the US military in Greenland, most of which I was unaware of.

                BBC following the threat of tariffs on those countries that oppose the orange man's Greenland takeover.

                  Emphasis mine:

                  Nebraska congressman Don Bacon told the Omaha World-Herald: “If he went through with the threats, I think it would be the end of his presidency. And he needs to know: the off-ramp is realizing Republicans aren’t going to tolerate this and he’s going to have to back off. He hates being told no, but in this case, I think Republicans need to be firm.”

                  Well, that would be more than nice.

                  The industrial revolution cheapened everything.

                    Ha! Here it is.

                    I was wondering who stood to make money if Trump invades Greenland.

                      @Steve-Miller It seems to be a case of follow the money, doesn't it?

                      I heard one this morning....I hadn't realized that Don Jr is an informal advisor to Polymarket. Remember that big bet someone put on hours before Maduro was captured that made someone $400K? Gotta wonder if Little Donny walked away with some bucks from that one....
