Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.

The following things are not grounds for murder:

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

No, that's quite a stretch to call mineral exploitation a military purpose. It would at most be a strategic independence from other sources of minerals like China.

The other parts "permanent access" with "no approval needed" was part of the 1951 agreement. While I don't know the specifics on the independence of Greenland and what the old agreement said, I think Greenland didn't have the influence back then and it wasn't a matter to be discussed, so it might have been void in that case. But if Greenland goes independent they're basically up for grabs and Trump would be first in line.
