first thing i wondered when i heard him say this

[Ritabert]

1. That comment was about Greenland

"Accept our bribes and we won't use the sonic weapons on you."

[lastlib]

2. But some people say he has used the same words.....

on 13-y/o girls. Many very fine people. Smart people.

[Ritabert]

6. You're right!

[GiqueCee]

3. Actually...

... I think he made that remark in reference to Greenland's opposition to his expansionist wet dreams, but the point is valid, nevertheless.

I'm sure Putin is delighted that his useful idiot is drawing attention away from his crimes.

5. Here's the Greenlanders' dilemma:

Denmark Offers Greenland:
--Lifetime Free Health Care
--Lifetime Free Education
--Strongest Pension in the World
--Paid Maternity Leave
--Paid Paternity Leave
--Free Child Care
--$700 Million Annual Transfer Payment

U.S. Offers Greenland:
--One time check for $10,000 (maybe)

4. I heard as coming from a mobster.

reminds one of the old mob lines " nice place you have here, it would be a shame if something happened to it"
