    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?

    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.

      You might think that they have already forgotten the warm welcome that Vance received when he went to Greenland!

    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 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

    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.

    Denmark, the country pushing for fascist Chat Control law in EU? They are complaining about another fascist doing fascist things? That’s rich.

      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.
