With friends like these, who needs enemies.
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.
The problem is that, this is USA now. They voted for this, twice.
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.
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.
Here’s some bad writing that surely could never happen
America is gifted Greenland as a thank you for so many years of investment and protection
It doesn’t have to be about Greenland at all. That demand can be just to create news. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flood_the_zone
Why would Denmark accept the bases if the issue isn’t settled?
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, Trump’s 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.
Smoke and mirrors. Where are the rest of the unredacted Trump-Epstein files?
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.
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.
Here in Canada we’re not crazy about the USA’s threats either.
You might think that they have already forgotten the warm welcome that Vance received when he went to Greenland!
Manifest Destined Cancer is back in full swing, the commercial hive mind needs to grow before it potentially reaches any hint of self-awareness.
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?
Bullshit. If the US decides to grab Greenland militarily, there is nothing, nothing, Denmark can do. Like, I wish there were, but there just isn’t. The purchase of F35s at least is an appeasement play to Trump’s transactional amoeba brain.
It will absolutely trigger WW3 most likely along with nuclear warheads. It’s idiotic and suicidal.
Danish nukes?
Danish allies.
French warning shot on an orange target
Dude I wouldn’t be surprised if Denmark is planning on getting nukes right now.
You assume NATO will stand by? I have no idea, but I wouldn’t bet on it.
Yeah, NATO will be coming to defend the Greenland with the help of US military.
Oh, wait a minute…
Anti-Germans and Merzians be like: “Why can’t we leave Greenland to the US? It’s only 57,000 people.”
They’ve been talking about this for son long. And nothing has happened. I think they’re just larping. ✌️
They did this incremental bullshit all the time back in the day

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.
They’re not doing it to break up the Danish empire ffs
Sometimes people move in the right direction for the wrong reasons
Yeah, the USA wants to invade Canada too.
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.
