Donald Trump is serious about boxing China out of the Arctic. A month before assuming the U.S. presidency for the second time, Trump notched another geopolitical win in the Arctic competition space and set the tone for the next four years. On December 29th, Trump revived his 2019 proposal to purchase Greenland from Denmark, saying U.S. ownership of the largest island in the world “is an absolute necessity.” A week before the inauguration, Trump’s son Don. Jr. traveled to Nuuk, Greenland to discuss Trump’s interest, leading to further speculation about the incoming President’s intent. In 2019, few supported Trump by publicly describing Greenland’s strategic importance – and reminding that the U.S. twice attempted to purchase Greenland from Denmark. Others warned about China’s expanding presence and influence in Arctic affairs, highlighting Beijing’s desire to build airports in Greenland. Still, during Trump’s first term, most claimed his interest in acquiring Greenland was “absurd.”

Not much has changed today with pundits casting Trump as impulsive – as they did in 2019 – and lacking knowledge of geopolitics. This time even the Danish Prime Minister chimed in saying “Greenland is not for sale” tacitly hinting at Trump’s perceived neocolonial provocation. Weeks later, Denmark reversed the message and indicated interest in discussing Greenland’s future with Trump. While Greenland’s future is yet to be determined, the mainstream narrative is naïve – Trump’s masterclass in statecraft is now in session – and Beijing is taking note.

10 toes = 10 horns = 10 kingdoms (3 of which are subdued)

See that stone hitting the feet with 10 toes mixed of clay and iron?

That stone is symbolic of Christ's judgment on you and your edomite new world order.

Edom will be gone forever and ever...you are cancer on mankind.

And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

I will make a request in Heaven. That your embers heat my room.

Trump is a nationalist not a globalist. That is a clue for the clueless.

Here is another. The antichrist is a globalist.

You are such a dumb ass loser.

edomite new world order.

That is a lie. God said he would destroy the edomites and he did so a long time ago. You must think God lied about it. That is one of the ways Satan will deceive the world and has deceived you. You bought it hook line and sinker. But you are to dumb to ever explain it. In your trance you simply repeat it over and over. Like you are under some hypotonic spell

You are so deceived you think you can add to Gods word in the book of Revelation and it doesn't affect you.

God isn't a gemstone. That sounds like some more of your occultic beliefs.

Heat my room.

Fool. Every kid that went to Sunday School knows the stone cut without human hands is Christ...

Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. Daniel 2:34

Christ is the stone you have rejected.

God said he would destroy the edomites and he did so a long time ago.

...a long time ago"...More error. Sounds like something an Edomite would say.

Judgement is coming to you and Edom.

Obadiah is yet to be fulfilled.

The Lake of Fire is your destination.

I never went to much Sunday School. My parents didn't take me to church much. I did that on my own later in life.

Thanks for the lesson. You aren't totally useless.

I'm a Christian, and I said it. I shouldn't have said it though. But it is kind of true since you used deception and added the word edomite to the book of Revelation trying to fool people.

Let's do it some more!

Watch as I replace the words "red" and "scarlet" with "Edom" in Revelation!

Revelation 6:4...And there went out another horse that was 𝐄𝐝𝐨𝐦: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

Revelation 12:3...And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great 𝐄𝐝𝐨𝐦 dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.

Revelation 17:3...So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a 𝐄𝐝𝐨𝐦 coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

Revelation 17:4(describing the whore of Babylon)...And the woman was arrayed in purple and 𝐄𝐝𝐨𝐦 colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:

Revelation 18:12(describing Babylon the great city)...The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and 𝐄𝐝𝐨𝐦, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,

Revelation 18:16(describing Babylon the great city, cont'd)...And saying, Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and 𝐄𝐝𝐨𝐦, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!

Red (scarlet) colored seal of Rothschild (aka Edom's Shield) family...

And you said the Edomites were "extinct"

The proof is in the pudding.

Remember that Lord Arthur Balfour wrote the Balfour Declaration which promised the Jews a national homeland in Palestine, which at the time was an Ottoman area.

This Declaration was presented to the Zionist Organization of Great Britain and Ireland.

Hitler wanted to send the Jews to Madagascar, a lush tropical island off the SE coast of Africa. But the Jews did not want to hear this. They wanted to go to Palestine.

This brought about the Transfer Agreement. The Jews could go to Palestine, but they had to leave their personal wealth behind. They also had to purchase hard goods from Germany which broke the embargo on German made goods when Judea declared war on Germany in 1933 with the election of Adolph Hitler as Chancellor. ;)

Palestine.

No such place. It is in your imagination.

There is an Israel though. You can't do anything about it.

Numbers 33:10 And they removed from Elim, and encamped by the Red sea.

Watchman would say it like this And they removed from Elim, and encamped by the Edom sea.

Exodus 25: And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,

Hamas's watchman would say it like this And rams' skins dyed edom, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,

You are an idiot who thinks he is smarter than God. Go move to Iran with your kindred spirits. POS.

adding to the book of Revelation.

"Edom" comes from the Hebrew root "adom" Meaning: flush, turn rosy

Word Origin: Derived from the root (adam), which means "to be red" or "ruddy."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent for "red" is , Strong's Greek #4450, which also means fiery red or flame-colored.

Ah, the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew "Edom" is "red" (pyrros)

All this to expose the fact that you serve the beast.

The French and British were enemies for a long time.

During the Revolution, Thoams Jefferson convinced the King of France to send his Navy to the participate in the Revolution since France was an ally of the Colonials.

They stopped the British from reinforcing Cornwallis at Yorktown forcing Cornwallis to surrender to Washington on October 19, 1781. ;)

In the early '90s I drove by and through the Moore House area daily. Good fishing at the Moore House Station Coast Guard refueling pier, $7.50 for a pier pass (annual) VA state game laws no fishing license required. Lots of deer out on the battle grounds which Bubbas would on occasion attempt to shoot. I've had bigger dogs than those deer. Field dressed a big deer there was around 70 pounds, for most that was their weight on the hoof. Lot of civil war battle sites there also.
