I'd rather interact with my orange beer shits than Trump
Bad news: when Trump annexes Canada, your orange beer shits will have a much lower alcohol content.
Why?
Because Canadian beer has much higher alcohol content.
Apparently people don't know that.
Either that, or they're angry about it.
That may have been true once, but not anymore.
The only difference is that light beer is, or at least used to, be preferred by Americans. Regular beer has the same standard range (5-5.5%) in both countries. In fact if it's over 5.5 it has to be categorized as a "strong beer" in Canada while US doesn't have that category and most craft IPAs (most popular craft beer) are 6% or over.
So it's really entirely preference. Currently Americans drink 40% light beer, 35% regular domestic and 25% craft. Given that the market is flooded with craft IPAs between 7-9% its very possible US beers are stronger than Canadian beers now.
Putin wants trump to get Greenland and Canada because USA + Greenland + Canada + Russia is basically >50% of the land.
Been saying this since he first brought it up limd a 7 or 8 years ago or whatever.
I mean, remove Greenland from the list and not a lot changes right?
There will be some polar bears feeling very left out.
Polar bears mostly live on open water or near the shore. Are there really polar bears in Greenland?
Yeah I originally put penguins but decided to fact check myself. They do not have penguins, but do have polar bears, humback whales, reindeer, and walruses.
Greenland seems pretty cool as is. I see no reason why we need to mess it up.
Penguins only naturally live in the southern hemisphere.
Including the coast of Africa. They’re more a “southern hemisphere” bird than a “cold” bird.
Greenland has a very large proportion of the world's accessible fresh water. Something America is rapidly running out of because water is being pumped out of the ground faster than it's being replenished. Couple that with all the minerals and ores being exposed due to the melting glaciers and Greenland is a pretty important strategic interest to the U.S.
I meant specifically for land mass, but after actually looking up how big Greenland is, not tiny. Its over 20% the size of Canada.
I kinda thought Greenland was small and idk why.
Question for American soldiers, how many of you are willing to die in the attempt to invade your neighbour and ally?
If you got the order to cross the border what would you do?
While we have your attention. In the event you do invade our country please ensure you have your dogtags on you at all times.
Your bodies will be unrecognizable when they get shipped home.
It'd genuinely surprise me if there were many American soldiers on here.
Serious about wanting to start WWIII by annexing a sovereign nation, he means.
Perhaps Trump will try to calm people by calling it, say, a “connection”?
