    Oh that’s why Trump keeps talking about “buying” Greenland or whatever.

    It’s breathtaking how stupid they are.

    Ok so Venezuela for the oil, Greenland for the minerals, cold, and to build cities and data farms, what are we going after Columbia for? Was expecting civil war for 2026, not imperialism. Silly me

        Columbia is the district. Washington is the city.

          No, Colombia is a country. Columbia is the US capitol district, a university in New York, and other things.

    A corporation-controlled community in an hostile, isolated area. That never resulted in anything bad, ever.

    Just more stupid shit like how they were going to colonize mars because somehow that would be easier than just not fucking up this planet.
