How Russia Sold Alaska To USA in 1867 | Trump Can Easily Buy Greenland | Here's How

President-elect Donald Trump’s interest in buying Greenland mirrors the U.S. acquisition of Alaska in 1867 for $7.2 million. While the Alaska deal faced criticism, it proved successful after the Klondike Gold Strike. Trump’s proposal would require negotiations with Denmark and compensation for Greenland’s 57,000 residents. The last U.S. territory purchase was in 1917 with the Danish West Indies, and acquiring Greenland would likely involve economic incentives or treaties. #TrumpGreenland #AlaskaHistory #USTerritory #GreenlandDeal #LandAcquisitions #Compensation #ForeignPolicy #EconomicCoercion #Sovereignty #MilitaryInterests Also Read Who Owns Greenland?

‘Biden Wants WWIII’: Trump Jr. Slams Biden's ATACMS Move; Calls it a ‘Dangerous’ Missile Decision

Donald Trump Jr. has harshly criticised President Joe Biden's decision to approve the use of American-made ATACMS missiles by Ukraine, warning that it could escalate the conflict and lead to World War III. The approval allows Ukraine to strike deep inside Russian territory, a move that Trump Jr. views as a reckless provocation. In a pointed social media post, he accused the Biden administration of fueling global tensions to benefit the military-industrial complex. The former president's son expressed concern over the long-term consequences of Biden's policies, suggesting that the decision could ignite a broader, more dangerous conflict. His comments reflect growing fears that U.S. military involvement in Ukraine could directly escalate tensions with Russia, pushing the world closer to a larger war. #Biden #TrumpJr #ATACMS #WorldWar3 #MissileStrike #UkraineConflict #RussiaWar #MilitaryAid #USForeignPolicy #TrumpVsBiden #GlobalTensions #NATO #USDefense #Escalation #Weaponry #Geopolitics ~HT.178~PR.152~ED.155~GR.124~

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, in his New Year’s Eve address, took a veiled swipe at tech billionaire Elon Musk for his vocal support of the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. Scholz warned that Germany's future would not be shaped by the influence of social media moguls, emphasizing that decisions about the nation's direction should lie with the citizens, not external figures. In a pointed remark, Scholz stated that, despite the growing attention garnered by extreme opinions, the vast majority of reasonable and decent people will ultimately determine the course of the country. The Chancellor’s comments came in response to Musk’s controversial endorsement of AfD, which has drawn criticism from German officials for its extremist views. #ScholzVsMusk #MuskAfDControversy #GermanyFuture #SocialMediaInfluence #OlafScholz #AfDEndorsement #PoliticalUnity #ScholzSpeech #MuskCriticism #Germany2025 #ScholzVsMusk2025 #SocialMediaPolitics #RightWingAfD #MuskInGermany #GermanyDebates
