In a world that made sense, U.S forces would also say they’re ready to join with Denmark in defending Greenland.
I really hope Canada joins in.
It would fuck trade negotiations a bit, but a useful outcome isn’t guaranteed there, and if Greenland falls the loss of our own sovereignty almost is.
The Toronto Star, which I do not fully trust, says that Canada will not be sending troops
Yeah, we definitely aren’t yet.
Give me Greenland and I promise I won’t attack anyone else! 🫲🍊🫱
Said the man planning attacks elsewhere this instant.
What are you talking about? I’m the president of FIFA peace! I’m sending the troops! 🫲🍊🫱
Solidarity from Canada. We are the only country that are allowed to go to war with with the Danes.
That is right you guys send an expidition to politely lower the other’s flag on some god forsaken island, ellesmere maybe, and raise your own flag. Then take the liter of liquor the danes left for you when they claimed it, leaving your own liter of liquor for them. As I heard anyway, idk how many times but I think a few at least.
ellesmere
Hah! That’s actually geographically significant, and might have some kind of resources.
It was Hans, which is 1km2 and definitely has nothing. Eventually we ended the decades long sorta-war by splitting it along the obvious fissure provided. So smart, so worth it. /s
I wish all wars were so wholesome.
What if it’s all a big misdirect and Trump invades Denmark while the army is away.
THINK ABOUT IT
/s
4D chess!
I’m so SICK! Of people Not letting Pedophiles get WHATEVER they Want! If Trump wants Greenland just GIVE It to Him like it was a Pregnant 13 Year old
Girl!WOMAN!reading that feels illegal
Maybe it’s 12D chess! Trump threatens Greenland, NATO sends troop out of Europe to defend it, now Europe is less defended!
I’ve heard one analyst say that the most probable end of all this is just a very bad “deal” for Danemark. Trump and his goons throw the worst things around so people panic and want to negociate, and in the end they accept way worse than they were willing to accept in the first place, while feeling relieved that things didn’t end up worse. It’s what he’s done with Ukraine already.
No idea if this will be true in the end or if he’s really in to apply Project 2025 to the letter, but it’s good that NATO members fight back at least.
I think this is often the case with Trump. However, when this does happen, at some point along the way there’s usually hints dropped about what kind of “deal” could be made (like agreeing to buy a bunch of US military equipment). But with Greenland, there has been no indication at all that Trump is interested in budging from full ownership of the island.
You’re right, it stinks quite bad. Thankfully our militaires probably have until mid-spring or summer to prepare. It would be even more suicidal than it is now for the US to attack in winter.
Analysts are the last ones to listen to nowadays. They cannot be honest if they even understood. Look at how none even recognized venezuela as a military coup, a deal made with their generals to make them de facto rulers under the us.
We mustn’t follow the same analysts I guess.
What’s even there to deal on Greenland and Denmark? Denmark is not in any conundrum. If USA invades Greenland, they will lose. There is not even an American public support to invade Greenland. Despite the moral flaws of American military, many US soldiers will feel bad about invading a clearly peaceful and democratic country.
All this nonsense is Trump’s attempt to distract the people from the Epstein files. That’s how sad Trump and his administration is.
Despite the moral flaws of American military, many US soldiers will feel bad about invading a clearly peaceful and democratic country.
US troops arent even bothered about invading their own cities and killing people on home soil… what makes you think they would think twice about invading and killing foreigners?
It’s been reported that the morale of the National Guards and Marines was really low when they were deployed to LA, questioning why they were there to against fellow Americans. Not everyone has the compunction of ICE.
ICE is full of military veterans…
Good! Fuck Trump!
Are they moving to the US military base that is already there?
I don’t know much about Thule but the area around the base is probably too inhospitable to keep troops around it. Likewise it’s too remote for fascist troops within the base to threaten the populated areas in the south.
I don’t think he’s interested in the populated areas in the south. If there’s anything he’s interested in, it’s more likely the minerals. What he would probably like is for US companies to go there and take those minerals. But if they do that without Danish permission, Danish forces can come and kick them out. What would happen if he lands US troops illegally in that inhospitable corner to protect such an illegal operation?
Fighting over Greenland is really hard, because it’s mostly empty and inhospitable. What he really wants is for everybody to simply recognise it’s his, but how do you get there? It’s not working for Putin, it’s not working in Venezuela.
I see the meeting with Vance didn’t go well. Here we go. I fucking hate my country.
We hate your country as well
This isn’t about defending Greenland militarily, but about increasing the diplomatic cost to the US to use any force. That’s why other European countries are also sending a few troops.
The political message from Europe has to be clear and forceful: If you touch Greenland, that will be the end of US military bases on the European continent (including Ramstein). Also economic sanctions and asset freezes/seizures for the Trump clan and key members of the administration.
Will that hurt europe? Will it erode our security guarantees against Russia? Yeah a lot.
But rather be on clear terms now and plan accordingly, than remaining Trumps bitch and very likely be let down anyways when push comes to shove
Europe does not need america. Not if they get their shit together, forestall their own fascist coups at the ballot by fielding real leaders with popular reform. They will not of course though. The western establishment is as dumb and corrupt as the democrats though so will fall.
No-one “needs” anyone but economics aren’t a zero-sum game and both the EU and the US benefited enormously from our economic and military ties, and cutting those ties will be painful and the faster it happens the more painful it will be.
If we employ the economic nukes against the US right now, we will lose most digital payment systems for a few weeks as countries and bunks rush to implement Wero and the digital Euro, and we will face strong gas shortages as we currently rely on the US to make up for Russia’s. Europe and NA would immediately enter into a deep recession.
The payment systems are a hugely understated threat but are being worked on actively. The fossil fuels aren’t understated but we also lack short-term solutions as electrification takes time (but also we aren’t doing nearly enough).
However it is true that the EU is profoundly neoliberal and that ideology is very ill-equipped to deal with a fragmented world order in which free trade is no longer the default. Those assumptions are being challenged, however the far-right seems primed to bring about the populist “solution” of turning Europe into a bunch of mini-Russias.
Well that natural gas is blood gas. Fracked from lands, oil majors poison aqifers and destabilize faults, and deny it, leaving homeowners with poisoned aquifers, and air.
So that is best case scenario for regular people in the US, to keep prices down below where oil majors pay politicians to send us to an early grave for a buck.
I live on shale, luckily the wells were a bust so they went to greener pastures for now. They are busy turning environmental protesters, into terrorists, state by state and feds are working on it.
It would be a perfect chance to get into renewables. Obviously you will instead do nuclear but this could be an opportunity to bypass fossil fuels and generate electicity from temperature differences with mediums that boil in that range. You could heat with that. Also more geothermal, starting out with air brought to ground temperature of 50 f year round 6 feet down.
Getting off us payments has to be done, the world needs competition, the us is abusing sanctions more every year. It will help everyone getting competition in there, and tech. But your politicians are surrendering you to tech with age checks and chat control and however else they retrofit that rejected trojan horse into a trojan sheep your influencers keep trying to convince you all to bring inside the walls.
Seriously, you need new popular politicians or will follow the us, and uk.
The political message from Europe has to be clear and forceful: If you touch Greenland, that will be the end of US military bases on the European continent (including Ramstein).
Nobody actually said that, there’s an US military base in greenland already.
That’s what’s so fucked up about all this. USA have downsized their military presence on Greenland by 99% since its peak. Neither Greenland, nor Denmark has opposed them to scale up again. They (Denmark/Greenland) have also declared they’re willing to let US mine for resources.
This seems like nothing but a fixation in Trump about increasing US land area, to boost his personal legacy.
It is putin’s bidding, prez does not have the juice to pull out of nato otherwise.
Yeah but that’s the point. Either you run your bases in cooperation with the host countries, or your established military presence becomes too great of a threat to the sovereignty of the host country to be allowed to continue
Germany became what it is with US helpin a looot, how will they go against them?
Cutting off their utilities and access to the surrounding areas.
But while Europe is busy with Greenland, at the home front the door is wide open, unprotected from the threats from the east.
You have to meet the enemy where they land. Trump getting Denmark without a fight is same as Russia getting it without a fight.
That’s a thing they’re of course considering. European nationa obviously won’t send 100 000 troops to Greenland.
The orange cancer don’t care. It’s not like HIS LIFE is on the line. He’d send all of the troops, killing many of them and our once allies, just to assuage his fucking ego.
Disgusting disgraceful filth.
Politicians never fight their wars.
I don’t know, it’s not like nobody’s ever abducted the president of a foreign country before.
So it’s senile Lt. Bone Spurs vs. Danish Gen. Giga Chad?
If the appearance of commanders correlated with military strength, the US would be finished. 😆
They need to get rid of that multicam. No need to keep wearing that nasty looking American shit.
All I can imagine is a shirtless Pete Hegasth doing karate moves in a mirror.
You mean Pete Keg-sith?
And doing his own sound effects.
The opening scene in Apocalypse Now?
Die Hard 2.
Similar vibes, except Sheen is notably rubbish and inebriated.
That man looks like he’s staring into the abyss.
He stared into the abyss.
The abyss retreated.
The Abyss is staring into him.
And the Abyss looks terrified.
The abyss gets the hint immediately and looks away, visibly has a full body shiver a second later and exuses itself mumbling sound and then the abyss quickly clears its throat with a “sorry” to speak up and just says it has to go pick up a …thing and doesn’t look anyone in the eye or talk to anyone else or even fully tieing its shoelaces before weaseling out and closing the door very carefully to not make a noise
Aren’t we all.

I get what you’re saying, but the more direct comparison would be to the Chief of Staff of the Army, not the President.
I gotta say, I spent a solid minute on Google Images trying to find a picture that made him look more badass than the professional headshot photo, but a good half of the images are him in readers.
Ohln the other hand, the US had a bit of a military purge where they fired anyone competent enough to be a threat to them so I honestly wonder how well the US will do now on the battlefield
I’ve been wondering how long it would take for the “lie to the pedophile and tell him we’re ready because he says we are” to get us to the same level of preparedness as Russia attacking Ukraine.
Well this guy was the Vice Chief from 2022-2023 and became Chief in 2023. So that’s under the Biden administration, for what that’s worth.

Looks like he’s gotta go rescue a rural backwater’s police department from John Rambo.
If only Brian Dennehy would listen to him, so many deputies’ lives could be saved.
I’m rightfully scared of that chin. Like I want to make fun of it, but I know full well he could kill me with it.
John Wick 5 - fuck that guy, I heard he killed a man with his chin! HIS CHIN!
30 minutes later: John wick kills someone with his chin.
Also, wow we’re getting a John Wick 5!!!
If you think he looks bad ass. Try taking a look at Thomas Rathsack. He is my fucking hero, and a danish special forces veteran.
You wrote ‘Rathsack’.
I read it as ‘Wrath-Sack’.
Thanks for reminding me to rewatch Riders of Justice. It’s Danish, btw.
Christ, the man looks like a younger, buffer, Dolph Lundgren. I want to see him and Hegseth fight hand-to-hand now.
