You see the show, you see the drama,
All the chaos you blame on Trump;
But do you see the results?
I wrote a much longer post in support of Noflaps' 100% accurate analysis; with my own symbolic addition. And this, is what else I am able to add. I will post a link to that post at the bottom of this one.
Here is the result.
"Denmark frantically messages Trump about security concessions on Greenland after he threatened to take it over: report"
>Danish leaders have sent private messages to President-elect Donald Trump’s team in recent days in a bid to pacify his ambitions for taking over Greenland, according to a new report.
>Copenhagen is allegedly open to allowing US military presence on the autonomous island to boost security and appease Trump, who claimed "military coercion” could be deployed to bring Greenland under US rule, sources familiar with the talks told Axios.
>The Danish government, which is responsible for Greenland’s defense, wants to avoid clashing with the US and hopes to assure Trump that Greenland will be safe from Russia and China without the need for American annexation, the sources added.

>The US already has a military base on Greenland and has had a defense agreement in place since 1951, which would make it easy to increase American troops on the island.
>Greenland’s strategic importance has increased exponentially in recent years with ice-bound arctic waterways melting and world powers scrambling for new real estate between the United States and Russia.

"They want to get a statement for jesus' sake
It's like a talking to the wall
He's incommunicado no comment to make
He's saying nothing at all
But in the communique you know he's gonna come clean
Think what he say
Say what he means
Maybe on Monday he got something to say
Communication
Communique
Communique
Maybe he could talk about the tricks of the trade
Maybe he could talk about himself
Maybe he could talk about the money that he made
Maybe he'd be saying something else
But in the communique you know he's gonna come clean
Think what he say,
Say what he means
Maybe on monday he got something to say
Communication
Communique
Communique
And now the rumors are flying
Speculation rising
Say that he's been trying someone else's wife
Somebody at the airport
Somebody on the phone
Says he's at the station and he's coming on the noon
Then we get the story a serious breeze
And a photograph taken in the hall
You don't have to worry with the previous release
Right now, he's saying nothing at all
But in the communique you know he's gonna come clean
Think what he say
Say what he means
Maybe on Monday he got something to say
Communication
Communique
Communique"
This is a little jokey but cute. (Some things are not cute. But this is quite cute.)
Like, Kramnik isn't cute. ;-) neither are chess players sniping at each other. Especially when it's high level ones but yeah.
