Fuck the US, it's time to stand together as Europeans
As a US citizen, I approve of this position. Fuck this place.
Wouldn't any tariff on Denmark specifically be met with counter-tariffs by the EU?
Last time it was targeted to specific red state exports like Kentucky whiskey too.
It's 5 past 12 to build up our own Military Industry and have a "Zero-American-Products" Policy in our military.
Many Weapons, Jets and Vehicles are dependent on American Start codes to function for their entire lifecycle.
It was foolish to accept such clauses in the first place
“It was horrendous,” said one of the people. Another added: “He was very firm. It was a cold shower. Before, it was hard to take it seriously. But I do think it is serious, and potentially very dangerous.”
Why does the Danish PM even pick up the phone?
Or if she did by mistake, she can always do what I do with telemarketers who try to sell me shit I don't want: put the phone down on mute and wait until the telemarketer understands nobody's on the line and hangs up.
European politicians' job description has included enduring the sheer stupidity of US diplomacy since forever.
Do you remember when you wanted us to go bomb Iraq because Saudi Arabia bombed you, and when you got told that that's dumb as fuck, renamed fries as a response?
The US has never not been idiotic. It's just on cocaine now.
courtesy.
we're europeans. No need to get down to his (Trumpet's) level...
Sounds like it is truly time to station troops in Greenland to defend against the US. The issue will need to be forced, so Drumpf either backs down, or crosses the line into hostility so the world will wake up from its denial of the danger.
No, Greenland is in the Nato. When the US attacks then half of the us army will be on the offence, the other half on the defence to keep the us army out.
Things are getting ugly really quick
Go and fuck yourself, Mr. Trump.
They should just hang up on him. Stop allowing him to take center stage
Put them on hold for half an hour with the lady saying that the call is very important to them.
You see Putin needs to control the NATO base there
Children often react poorly when they're learning a lesson, I imagine this is true for lil pants shittin nazi donny
The Farce Reich will never conquer Greenland.
Do you want to put money on that? Because I wouldn't.
Trump is crazy enough to do it - or rather the Project 2025 sumbitches who are remote-controlling him in the background, because he sure as hell ain't the one coming up with all those executive orders he's signing.
And while the whole world would scream and shout in outrage, nobody would be able to do a damn thing about it.
The UK would probably broker the deal behind the scenes, in public professing calm but, behind closed doors, putting pressure on Denmark to accept and buttering Trump up to compensate them generously for it. Outside the EU, Britain is weak except for its NATO membership, and that won’t be of any help here, so it’s in Britain’s interest that this is resolved as smoothly as possible, and that they remain in Trump’s good books.
Greenland, home to just 57,000 people, is an entry point to new shipping routes gradually opening up through the Arctic; it also boasts abundant but hard to access minerals.
Am I reading it wrong or is "gradually opening up through the arctic" a euphemism for climate crisis effects?
It’s exactly that. Carriers can’t wait for the arctic to thaw, it is a much shorter and quicker route between the hemishperes. China has been sending containerships through there for a while now.
China has also been buying up land and small harbors to expand in Scandinavia.
"I AM YELLING AND OBNOXIOUS THEREFORE I AM A STRONG MAN WITH REGULAR SIZED HANDS. LARGE HANDS, EVEN."
Trump should rather talk to Múte Egede the prime minister of Greenland 🤷♂️
Grim though this may be—once Greenland's conquered, it can't be long before Denmark is taken over by Tesco.
This is Trump's Poland?
That's pathetic.
How long would it take a coalition of Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Germany, Poland...or just all of the EU to build as many nukes as Kim Yong Un has? Maybe a week or a month...
Because that seems to be the only way to get any respect from trump and his toadies.
Let me introduce you to Force de Frappe.
Eh, France has too much to lose even in a minor nuclear exchange (Paris), they would probably only use them if their soil was threatened (in which case you have their funny warning nuke policy). We need a full umbrella from all the EU to all the EU, with keys in the hands of different rotating states/officials to make them more than just elected bureaucrats.
Same for the UNSC, probably, a nuke closet to point at when stupid countries do stupid things. Fascists don't respect anything else.
Wasn't this last week's news?
So, if it reopens, here's a longterm-scenario: suppose US and Canada both split into oceanic versus central, meanwhile Russia is weakened and blocked from europe, but these fossil-fuelled conservative autocratic mid-continentals want to forge a new empire across the arctic, where's their strategic hub half-way between Texas and Muscovy - Greenland of course !
( Prefer a simpler explanation? - maybe it's just punishment for sending F16s to Ukraine, hey you might need those ? )
I was hoping Biden would send every gun, bullet, bomb and vehicle to Ukraine, to take the teeth out of Trump's threats for a couple years at least. Obviously that wasn't going to happen, but it was a nice thing to think.
Maybe don't link an article with a paywall. thanks.
