Donald Trump said Friday his administration will take action on Greenland “whether they like it or not,” further escalating his rhetoric as he pushes to acquire the Danish territory for the U.S.

The comments came during a meeting with oil executives to discuss the prospect of doing business in Venezuela. Less than a week earlier, the U.S. military invaded the oil-rich South American nation and captured its leader, Nicolás Maduro.

Denmark and its European allies in NATO – the military alliance co-founded by the U.S. – have pushed back, reiterating that Greenland is not for sale. But the Trump administration nevertheless says it is currently weighing a range of options on Greenland, including utilizing the U.S. military or cutting a deal to purchase it from Denmark.

    Yeah no, when are you guys gonna learn that doing this over and over does not work. Grab your balls and grab your second amendment and end this already. I am sick of every new generation being like “i know, we’ll protest!” STOP WASTING YOUR TIME, nothing will work at this point except what you guys are too afraid to do. It’s your duty and your mess, so clean it up.

        When was the last time this worked in America? And did you have a fascist president at the time who doesn’t give a single fuck about your protesting or the economy? Stop wasting time with this soft bullshit. You’ve been propagandized to believe protesting is a viable option that works, it doesn’t
