    This is a lot more reckless than I was expecting, and I didn’t have high hopes. Denmark is a NATO ally. If the USA is challenging its territorial integrity like this, the ability of that alliance to act as a deterrent is going to be seriously compromised. That’s bad for reasons bigger than Greenland.

    Trump is doing more damage to the security of the USA and its allies than he would have if he merely sank a couple of aircraft carriers, and most voters aren’t even going to be aware of that.

        A fascist demagogue making unreasonable territorial demands of sovereign lands? totally unprecedented, surely a surprise to all.

    the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity.

    No it doesn’t. Please don’t put words into our mouth bro. He can’t even wait till January 20 to fuck things up.

    Shouldn’t mr trump be clearing this with President Musk before running his mouth?

    Trump’s going to get himself removed from the cabinet if he keeps up this maverick bullshit.

      Turns out that the village idiot in Nuuk is a neo-nazi (ferreal, he owns sims 3), gotta invade and level the place now.
