Greenland, home to just 57,000 people, is an entry point to new shipping routes gradually opening up through the Arctic; it also boasts abundant but hard to access minerals.
Am I reading it wrong or is “gradually opening up through the arctic” a euphemism for climate crisis effects?
“I AM YELLING AND OBNOXIOUS THEREFORE I AM A STRONG MAN WITH REGULAR SIZED HANDS. LARGE HANDS, EVEN.”
Fuck the US, it’s time to stand together as Europeans
As a US citizen, I approve of this position. Fuck this place.
Wouldn’t any tariff on Denmark specifically be met with counter-tariffs by the EU?
Last time it was targeted to specific red state exports like Kentucky whiskey too.
As an American, honestly just take us back under control, we fucked the whole thing up, we couldn’t do it.
Never shoulda wasted good tea in the Boston harbour
… As an American post tea incident, I never developed a taste for it.
It’s good hot, with milk in it, and some oatmeal cookies for yo dippins
It’s been a fun trial, but it’s time to give the controls back to the grownups
It’s 5 past 12 to build up our own Military Industry and have a “Zero-American-Products” Policy in our military.
Many Weapons, Jets and Vehicles are dependent on American Start codes to function for their entire lifecycle.
It was foolish to accept such clauses in the first place
Sounds like it is truly time to station troops in Greenland to defend against the US. The issue will need to be forced, so Drumpf either backs down, or crosses the line into hostility so the world will wake up from its denial of the danger.
No, Greenland is in the Nato. When the US attacks then half of the us army will be on the offence, the other half on the defence to keep the us army out.
“It was horrendous,” said one of the people. Another added: “He was very firm. It was a cold shower. Before, it was hard to take it seriously. But I do think it is serious, and potentially very dangerous.”
They should just hang up on him. Stop allowing him to take center stage
Put them on hold for half an hour with the lady saying that the call is very important to them.
Why does the Danish PM even pick up the phone?
Or if she did by mistake, she can always do what I do with telemarketers who try to sell me shit I don’t want: put the phone down on mute and wait until the telemarketer understands nobody’s on the line and hangs up.
European politicians’ job description has included enduring the sheer stupidity of US diplomacy since forever.
Do you remember when you wanted us to go bomb Iraq because Saudi Arabia bombed you, and when you got told that that’s dumb as fuck, renamed fries as a response?
The US has never not been idiotic. It’s just on cocaine now.
We’ve moved onto bath salts and meth from cocaine. It’s a whole new level of stupid and the whole world is in for a bad ride.
Some of your politicians and voters seem to have moved on to eating crayons and sniffing glue, though.
But don’t worry, ours are following closely.
courtesy.
we’re europeans. No need to get down to his (Trumpet’s) level…
Go and fuck yourself, Mr. Trump.
You see Putin needs to control the NATO base there
Things are getting ugly really quick
Children often react poorly when they’re learning a lesson, I imagine this is true for lil pants shittin nazi donny
The Farce Reich will never conquer Greenland.
Do you want to put money on that? Because I wouldn’t.
Trump is crazy enough to do it - or rather the Project 2025 sumbitches who are remote-controlling him in the background, because he sure as hell ain’t the one coming up with all those executive orders he’s signing.
And while the whole world would scream and shout in outrage, nobody would be able to do a damn thing about it.
He can try, but that would be an attack on the rest of NATO and it would definitely grab the attention of Russia and China that don’t want the US monopolizing the Arctic. And there’s nothing that puts all existing grievances on pause like a nazi lunatic doing land grabs.
Imagine what kind of scumbag you have to be to even follow the order to invade a place like that? They don’t even enter our lexicon most of the time. This is purely imperialism and blatantly so. In this century, to follow orders to invade like that is lunacy, cowardice, and ignorance all in one.
Lol, Russia wants him to do this. Both to foment discontent and to alter the Arctic shipping routes.
You are forgetting that Russia and the US already have territorial conflicts in the Artic, because both claim most of the sea for themselves, and that neither country wants the oil reserves in the hands of the other.
If Trump controlled Canada and Greenland it would bolster the US claim and make it viable for the US to enforce it.
As for China, they benefit from a trade route being divided between several countries, as it’s more likely that the international community will end up pressuring Canada to accept an international strait regime if the entire sea is not in the hands of the US.
If there’s an invasion NATO will have to intervene. No choice. And it’s they don’t it’s WW3 for sure. Because all the structure that keep a relative peace will fall down.
I am no expert in the exact NATO regulation, but I think in a recent spat between Greece and Türkiye NATO said that inter-NATO fights do not trigger any mandatory aid from other NATO members.
Ooof… That’s not good.
The UK would probably broker the deal behind the scenes, in public professing calm but, behind closed doors, putting pressure on Denmark to accept and buttering Trump up to compensate them generously for it. Outside the EU, Britain is weak except for its NATO membership, and that won’t be of any help here, so it’s in Britain’s interest that this is resolved as smoothly as possible, and that they remain in Trump’s good books.
Do you imagine the amount of backlash that would cause?
Just as much as the US pulling out of the WHO, ordering other nations to up their military spendings, threatening other nations with insane tariffs, threatening to invade or annex them or dropping military support unexpectedly: not very much…
Just as much:
as the US pulling out of the WHO
To the degree of what I know, the WHO is not a mandatory organization to which countries are bound to.
It is benefitial to adhere to it but…
ordering other nations to up their military spendings
All nations vinculated by the NATO treaty have agreed to invest, yearly, a given percentage of their budget towards defence. Something most didn’t do it… hate to admit it but the guy had a point to pick there
threatening other nations with insane tariffs
Economic warfare is poised to wreck the US economy faster. The consumerist culture is too strong.
threatening to invade or annex them
Everyone us trembling in fear. More about to foam at the mouth of rage.
dropping military support unexpectedly
Hardly anything coming from that mouth is unexpected.
I think they would pretend it didn’t happen and talk it down. Otherwise they would have to acknowledge that Trump got them with Pants down
I couldn’t disagree more.
As the orange myna bird rethoric escalates, so does the willingness of other actors to bite back.
Having a nazi as a focus point of all the frustration and hatred is a good way to shift attention from internal issues.
Nobody really wants to be called to pick up arms but the US don’t have the monopoly of war in the world.
I really hope you’re right and we are getting our shit together to stand up to this Bully
This is Trump’s Poland?
That’s pathetic.
Trump should rather talk to Múte Egede the prime minister of Greenland 🤷♂️
