    Mr Landry then wrote on X: “It’s an honor to serve you in this volunteer position to make Greenland a part of the US.”

    These fucking people. The USA needs to rid itself of these megalomaniac fascists.

    Earlier this month, the Danish Defence Intelligence Service said in an annual report that the US was using its economic power to “assert its will” and threaten military force against friend and foe alike.

    that’s just what good friends do O.o?

      I think Trump and Putin was made a contract when they were together in Alaska. Trump let Putin do what he wants to do in Europe and Putin let Trump do the same thing in Latin America. How long does it take before China takes over the Taiwan?

        Trump will suddenly call Xi Jinping “a great leader”, then tries to pressure Taiwan to “peacefully reunite”, including the arrest of its current leaders.

      No. This is real. We want the mineral wealth and the open sea lanes as the ice continues to melt. Greenland will be a serious strategic territory in the near future.

      As I commented earlier, Trump won’t physically last long enough to pull this off and Vance isn’t the cult leader.

      As with the AI bubble, we’re all praying for a crash ASAP. It will be painful, but we need to rip the bandage off.

        We can accelerate the AI bubble. We just need to FUDpost about how AI surveillance will ensure we will getting progressively more and more authoritarian regimes, because AI surveillance corporations need weird arbitrary and harmless things to be illegal for it to be profitable. This is going to be private prisons on steroids.

    Trump saw the European response to Russia and figured why not take a bite out of a free pie?

    What’s Europe gonna do, defend itself?

      Remember who paid for the NGOs in Ukraine. Why would the US do that if Ukraine becomes part of Europe?

      Denmark also has already allowed the US to build another base, after Trump had threatened to take Greenland last time.

      They must be cooperating behind the scene and this is just a show for the public.

            It certainly could be. But it could also be basic appeasement that confirms to the aggressor they are dealing with someone weak who you can take even more from.

            We will have to see because he’s also suffering from serious cognitive decline and there is ultimately no telling what he will follow through on

              Denmark is not a young person in their first relationship. Furthermore they most likely have consulted the other Europeans. Those things are conscious decisions.

              On the other side, Trumps decline seems wishful thinking to me and doesn’t really matter. Like project 2025 he doesn’t do the thinking.

              I think some doubt about what is happening is appropriate.

    The current American administration ignoring some of the best advice ever given to me by an Elder, “Don’t go where you aren’t welcome.” Adding to this, Greenlanders, and Danes beyond this, are certainly not welcoming the idea that their homeland/territory should be absorbed by the United States of America. Their reputation as boorish tourists is rubbing off on their diplomacy as well, not a good idea.

    Stopped having sympathy for Denmark when they decided to buy F-35s back in October. Like are you going to defend Greenland with american jets?

      They’re pushing for “chat control” but they’re not pushing for the invasion of other countries. Only the USA is going full Hitler.

    I do not approve of empires. I don’t approve of Denmark having land in/near North America. I do not approve of the US having land elsewhere - we made the right decision with the Philippians to make them an independent country after winning it. (Guam makes sense as a US navy base, but otherwise should be an independent country, there are a few other islands in the area that US has that don’t have the population to be independent, but I support turning them over to New Zealand/Australia)

    That said, Canada is the obvious owner for Greenland if they can’t be an independent country, not the US.

      Just to address Guam, seems a weird situation. Watched an hour or two of videos on the subject and the natives seem split on remaining a territory and going independent. tl;dr: It’s complex.
