  1. From Dailywire (Right Leaning publication) In 2018, the Trump administration warned Denmark not to allow China, which wanted to build three airports in Greenland, to do so. China could potentially use the airports for warplanes. NOTE: China withdrew their bid to build those airports As far as the threat of China gaining global control over rare earth minerals, it is important to note the following: “Rare earth elements (REEs) – a group of 17 critical metals – are indispensable components in military defense systems, consumer electronics and renewable energy technologies,” NewsSecurityBeat reported. “Despite more than a decade of sustained efforts by Western countries and companies to loosen China’s grip, Beijing, by far remains the top player in the REE global mining, processing and refining sectors. … China has an effective monopoly over processing major heavy rare earths – Dysprosium (Dy) and Terbium (Tb), and Light Rare Earths – Neodymium (Nd) and Praseodymium (Pr). … From 1950 to October 2018, China filed over 25,000 rare earth patents, surpassing the US’ 10,000.“ “Greenland contains some of the largest deposits of rare earth elements (REE) on Earth, such as yttrium, scandium, neodymium and dysprosium,” Innovation News Network stated. “These REEs have unique properties that make them ideal for several industrial applications due to their ability to withstand extreme temperatures or chemical agents.” In addition, the U.S. Geological Survey estimates that there could be 17.5 billion undiscovered barrels of oil and 148 trillion cubic feet of natural gas off the coast of Greenland, and the Arctic Circle possibly has another 90 billion barrels of oil.
  2. It's more than shipping lanes. It's projected that Greenland houses nearly 1/4 of all rare earth minerals
  3. Another match with a lot of entertainment value was Perry-Hendicks '07. The match itself wasn't that special until the last minute (it was electric) had the family storyline plus lots of Hendricks haters. Another classic for this list.
  4. Focusing on the key word "Entertaining" than its a tie between Nickal/Martin '18 & Caldwell/Metcalf '09. Hard to imagine the Caldwell/Metcalf match wouldn't win this at an awards show.
  5. Have to be specific with your questions. I asked him to show the data that supports his claim
  6. Ok. Now show the math that supports your claims and then run a cross analysis showing the benefits
  7. I'm absolutely against the idea of forcibly taking any land and find it shameful that our President is presumably trolling about it. Who's to say he is not being serious. But, for argument sake. Lets say we could purchase it. I've yet to see one counterargument that it would be a bad deal. If anything it would be extremely advantageous on many levels
  8. Have had lamb shank a few times. Best taste was always the mediterranean styles. Was told a good red wine is the key
  9. Wind Turbines are a waste of money. Their blades are made of fiberglass and are not recyclable. They take up a lot of space. Disturb migratory birds. No one knows the actual effect their noise frequency has on wildlife. Nuclear should be the future but a bunch of dumb numbnut activist who don't know science put an end to actual viable clean energy
  10. Ah yes, Incumbent John Adams (America's only hermaphrodite President) lost to a deceased Thomas Jefferson!
  11. No problem. Here are two other events that had the potential to unravel our federal government. The Whiskey Rebellion and the little known event of the Pennamite-Yankee Wars. And as I've liked to joke around with you on this board @Wrestleknownothing should know we literally had the continental army take over Philadelphia in 1783 and congress had to flee to Princeton over a payment dispute. Was January 6th embarrassing? Yes. Is it a stain on our history? Legitimate argument. Was it an event that nearly toppled our institutions? Absolutely not
  12. I'd put the Civil War and the Business Plot of 1933 as way more threatening attempts on our Nation than Jan 6th which was nothing more than a fart in the wind
  13. How crazy would that be if this is what Tony Ramos was tweeting about
  14. Evidence suggests that Brooks got closer VS
  15. Found this statement odd. It's 2025. Even those goofy red pill alpha dopes promote mental health through therapy. Between Jordan Peterson & Tony Soprano in the 21st century seeking therapy is the tough guy move.
  16. Bob Nicholson 'CEO of Hockey Canada'...Pays American wrestlers to stay in the sport to prevent them from playing hockey and dominating the Canadiens. Huge PSYOPS conspiracy on part of the Canadien government
  17. But Iowa can win it all with Ferrari! Or maybe they need 3?
  18. Kolat, Erisman, Hahn. Tim Flynn deserves a gold medal in this category.
  19. @ionel I don't get the mystery surrounding the Ferrari / Arnold debate. Ferrari has a RS available and Arnold does not. So isn't it obvious that Arnold is going to start and Ferrari will sit?
  20. Trip, as I mentioned in another post you have a valid point but it is totally fixable as was the case in North Dakota. Got fixed.
  21. ND is a very physical team and well built for the playoffs. It's a true toss up. Anyone saying otherwise is just being a homer which is totally ok. Makes it more fun
  22. Georgia was playing with a QB in his first ever start. Not easy to do against a really solid defense.
  23. I dont know why this has become such a common theme. PSU is better than Notre Dame in most positions if not equal too. Maybe ND is a better in the secondary but it's not like their QB is a stud and the PSU secondary (which is elite) will get torched
  24. I'm all for voter id and support it but Trip does have a legitimate point this time. There was a dispute in North Dakota a few years ago on this very issue. Thankfully it was resolved.
  25. Di Shu Ya Gongfu (Chinese: 地鼠牙功夫, literally "Gopher Teeth Kung Fu", originally named "Big Gopher" (Chinese: 大地鼠, Dàdì shǔ) is a Chinese martial art that has its origins in Hoy Hong Temple out of Gopher techniques of Five Animal Kung Fu, Ng Ying Kungfu (Chinese: 五形功夫).[3] The system "was modeled after the demeanor and fighting strategy of an attacking gopher. Techniques unique to Di Shu Ya are ripping, hooking, clawing and grasping applications."
