Shit, killing the Department of Education is causing issues quicker than I expected.
No idea why you’re down voted, Greenland is not a country but a (semi-) autonomous territory of Denmark.
Europe needs to take him serious. He sees that it works out just fine for Netanjahu and Putin, nobody does anything against them. Greenland is a nice and easy first target.
Absolutely right. These tiny “buy european”-protest are great, but won’t change anything. We’re too few. The EU needs to step up against these imperialist yokels. Should he get Greenland by force, nothing would happen. He could just do it and he knows.
As an American I really hope the EU takes this seriously. I was screaming about shit like this since Jan 6th and nothing was done. Take these people seriously. The US will invade Greenland and it will be to distract from Putin doing something even worse in Ukraine. They are betting the EU can not fight a war on two fronts. Prove them wrong.
It’s not a distraction, it is the cornerstone for US control in the North Atlantic. It backstops the US ability to defend the eastern seaboard and be able to strike Europe.
The US already has military bases and the ability to develop resources in the area. Denmark has been more than willing to cooperate.
The only reason you spend the political capital to annex Greenland is if you foresee a future where Denmark will not cooperate and may see the US as a strategic threat.
That’s all you need to figure out where all of this is leading.
USA population: 346m. EU population: 449m, i.e. about 29% higher.

What percentage over the USA domestic market would we need to be to be not “too few”?
One of the major things that got him elected in the first place is that he promised to stop the continuous war cycle that the Rs and Ds kept getting us into. Where the hell is this coming from, when did he become yet another warmonger president?
Not sure if this is sarcasm but if you’re serious, you fell for propaganda because Trump has been a warmongering asshole the entire time.
I don’t think you need to “fall for propaganda” to know this. I mean, I heard it from Trump supporters listing it off as a reason for why they would vote for him, pointing out how he didn’t participate in war during his firs term and was likely to prevent the US from doing so.
Does Trump want Greenland so bad because he thinks it’s huge due to a map projection?
