    JP> The US ambassador to Iceland has "joked" that Iceland might become the

    JP> from an ambassador, or should you immediately throw such a man out of your

   I am not a big fan of the left, I think people like Gavin Newsom are equally   
   full of ****. But America can not afford imperialism or conflicts within   
   Europe even though most of the leaders of the EU are idiots.    
      
   Id rather do the unaffordable care act extended subsidies than to try and take   
   on Greenland.
