Denmark and Canada, being NATO members, need to have NATO issue a statement condemning these threats. If the threats don't cease all NATO member states should boycott and tariff all U.S. goods and services. The Trump madness has to stop...he's a clear and present danger to all of us.
Greenland is only strategically important if 1. climate change is real and a retreating polar ice sheet opens up new shipping lanes, and 2. climate change is real and the rare earth elements under the Greenland glaciers are exposed & exploitable. Soooo…
"Have to step in"? You pompous motherfucker; you don't GET to "step in" and you'd better step the fuck off right now before the adults put you in a time out
Almost like he doesn't understand collective defense, if Denmark was just in a defensive alliance, I don't know, maybe some WW2 relic still kicking around...
Both Canada and Greenland have Universal Health Care. Can’t wait till their citizens hear they will
Lose that when they become US Citizens. Hold the vote let the citizens decide
As the polar cap melts, it's waterways offer shipping channels that will make some country a fortune. Russia, US and Canada all want those channels. Canada and Greenland have the sovereign claims to them. Both countries that fat hitler now wants to make states. Funny that.
Also the most intelligent reasoning for the next administration and congressional cronies ending any attempt to slow climate change whether they understand that or not. To the Freedumdums it's just "owning the libs", to Putin something much more.
These Trump loving MAGA simps are all for this - clearly they don't know that Greenland would be a DIFFICULT proposition for Russia to invade due to location - but don't let facts get in the way
You'll be bereft of allies if this continues. We already don't trust you. Is the plan to spread anti-american sentiment globally? Mission accomplished if so. Russia and Iran (to name but two of your legion of enemies) must be thrilled.
Just remember. 'This too will pass'! We in the UK had to endure 14 years of Tory mis-governance including Johnson & Truss. At least Trump has only got 4 max!!
Yes, unless Trump & his Master try to rearrange the constitution or similar. The Tories had repeated goes in the UK. Did some damage but overall held firm. Also taught us a lesson on the weaknesses of our Political system..
Pretty much what Putin says about Ukraine, Hussein said about Kuwait, Mussolini said about Ethiopia, Tojo said about Indonesia, Hitler said about Poland …
What do these idiots not get about the fact that they belong to NATO? I guess they don't understand the concept of mutual defense. Denmark is not China for FFS .
Truly the most messed up person in the world!
Musk is winding him up then posting on Trump’s behalf spewing garbage that some how he is going to Protect Greenland. The only thing they need protection from is that idiot and his little boy Trump.
Ok so on that basis then the US needs to arbiter every country that is at risk from Russia/China and provide for its defence. These people are certifiable.
Well why yah worried Vlad and Xi are Besties with saggy Orange! No worries! Besides… president musk will not let anything happen he’s already keeping in tradition of the first bitch pmurt and selling pertinent information to our national security!😂
Fascists never come to power yelling: War Now!!! They come to power speaking of Peace & Prosperity. After they consolidate their power, then it's beat the War Drums lively
Trump & Co, have the WH, the Senate, the House and the SCOTUS. What is to stop them?
I don't really think they have the balls to attack but, sadly, people still believe there are some anonymous guardrails that would stop it. Trump 2.0 had now completely destroyed respect any ally countries had for us. Will never trust us again.
Normalizing ever crazy thing. It’s like a psychological test of strength and fortitude to maintain sanity and logic for the rest of us who said never, ever again. Sick systems make people sick. Let’s all stay together- and sane over here.
“When the sun rises in the west and sets in the east. When the seas go dry and mountains blow in the wind like leaves. When the Chinese invade Greenland. Then he will return, and not before.”
Not to mention that Greenland is very rich in natural resources like gold, oil, and rare earth elements that today come mostly from China
But yeah, it's Russian drones we're concerned about...
So, we’re basically at the extortion phase now. “If Greenland doesn’t let us take them over, we won’t be able to protect you from the people we called to invade you.”
Greenland is a sovereign nation. If these A-holes are literally suggesting that if we think their "defense" is insufficient, we will "defend" them AGAINST THEIR WILL, that is mammoth, insupportable change in our foreign policy. If I wanted to live in Russia, I'd have moved there.
… because it’s all about the U.S.A. Everyone else is but a bit player and extra in America’s drama. The world exists only for America’s happiness, prosperity and security.
Some of this feels like they're telling us what russia plans to do next. With trumps help.
They start to invade. Trumps team gets to say, "we told you so," then they become the hero's and get what they wanted for helping them. Putin retreats, knowing he's not leaving empty-handed.
The first time they laughed. I doubt they are laughing now. Judging by my international friends' reactions we have officially scared the shit out of them now.
Wow, does he even know what Greenland’s military defense comprises of? Or did he just think “they probably only have dogsled teams” without actual research?
He is telling you exactly what is about to happen. Greenland is on Russia’s bingo 25 card. What they are not saying “yet” is we are on Russia’s bingo 4 year card. What will we do without any leaders?
Unless Greenland asks for our help, you cannot just step in and "protect" them. That's called an invasion you moron. You clearly are not qualified for the job.
The fact that this is EVEN BEING TALKED ABOUT
shows how little tRUmplfuck understands foreign policy.
America will be left with NO ALLIES and be EASY pickings for ruSSia and China, BOTH who are at war with us
RIGHT NOW
whether we admit it or not. https://bsky.app/profile/archeryfan93.bsky.social/post/3le6nlrw7j52f
Does he really have to genuflect in public like this to get a job? Nothing worse than hearing someone who is supposed to be intelligent say that a ridiculously preposterous idea is a smart thing
Is this one path to getting out of NATO: threatening/attacking a NATO country/territory? How often are we even getting Chinese/Russian attacks through Greenland? There's got to be a way to shut this guy down.
This might be interesting: Russian propaganda seems to be happy about Trump's impirialism, since they think it lays bare the illusion of democracy and not accommodating NATO allies. Disclaimer: I didn't watch the whole video.
So, I guess you watched "Hunt for the Red October". This threat has existed for decades, and it is why those waters are monitored and patrolled by NATO navies. Given how our navy is shrinking we are going to need those allies more than ever in a shooting war.
Considering how well the US's agreement to support Ukraine when they gave up their nukes has gone since the 2014 hostilities and again Feb 2021 it really seems like they consider those agreements the same as toilet paper.
Wait, I thought Greenland is where a lot of NATO security is based to protect Europe?
Russia hates NATO & would love its demise; Trump wants to remove US strength by quitting NATO & now wants Greenland.
Russia is having issues with Panama Canal passage; Trump wants the canal.
The plan is Russian?
Seems like economic/societal isolation mixed with global military imperialism at this point....I guess Neo-Libertarianism would be the proper label? What could possibly go wrong?
His sycophants are now banging the drums, so YES! Fat Hitler was embarrassed first term by the Danes making fun of his offer. It was embarrassed by Panama striping him of ownership of his property.
This is revenge and he will pay any price to get it.
I'm not a child, and yes, some nations understand that restraining Russia by aiding the U.S. is beneficial to everyone, and has been for 75 years.
Yes, Greenland benefits. We benefit more.
A base to help detect the launch of nuclear weapons that has been there for seventy three years when it hasn't had to track one nuclear missile launch is beneficial how?
I sense the Essence of General Jack D. Ripper is strong with this one. He needs to stop with the lunatic role-playing games and try to act a lot less stupid than he obviously is. He also should show some self-respect, seeing as he’s lost all of it from the rest of us.
https://youtu.be/Gel1VbKXJqw?si=Yz-M3TLiXy-8-e7J. Apparently thos was,being planned before Trump even won the election yet Trump will claim he forced Denmark's hand. I'd say Russia and other unstable country's forced this
Has this **all this** been a problem thus far? I mean, is there some kind of attack going on daily in Greenland that we don't know about, but I'm sure will become MORE of an issue in the days to follow? Seriously. WTF.
You see? Not even sworn in yet and the chaos has begun. Musk and the congress, this clown and the DOD.... RFKJr. and healthcare? Patel at FBI? Buckle up folks!
In 4 years US will be isolated without any ally in the world.
We will have a worldwide trade war US can't win.
The world will never be the same. Thank you, MAGA!
I don't know, we got our asses kicked out of countries like Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan by soldiers with little more than bronze age level tech that didn't even have drones. Might want to slow your roll there like you aren't 0-3 in your last big games.
It looks like the incoming administration is proposing their own "special military operation" against a sovereign allied nation. And that's in addition to the "special civilian operation" that will target 13 million immigrants for deportation. Trump's American carnage will begin shortly. Buckle up.
This country would rise up! First, because we love our northern neighbors. Secondly, BECAUSE AMERICANS DON'T WANT WAR!!! Esp with our neighbors...to the north and south.
Trump would be falling all over himself to yell out, JUST KIDDING!
And 2026 will bring a massive resistance to the midterms.
That's your opinion.
It doesn't take the number needed to win an election, just enough to make Trump's numbers look bad. He can not cope with disapproval.
Sure he can. He thrives on it. It's the fuel for his martyr complex. Plus, of course, it's another way to make money off the sheep. Look how well his mug shot merch sold.

US (9.6m km²) + Canada (10m km²) = 19.6m km² >
Russia (17m km²)
China (9.6m km²)
Greenland (2m km²)
Perhaps they should stop basing policy on the maps on their walls.
Absolutely no one wants to invade?
Magamerica has nothing anyone wants?
Trump wants to take land.
“We love the Danes but we’re going to need to make them our protectorate.” Sort of like, “You’re the one making me do this.”
Lose that when they become US Citizens. Hold the vote let the citizens decide
1) T says crazy or stupid stuff
2) GOP lickspiddles bend over backwards to agree or say how right he is
Here..short easy reading about the Arctic & Thule base…

Only the stupidest people in this timeline. 🙄
Same reason Putin has for invading Ukraine & everywhere else he’s invaded.
“When the sun rises in the west and sets in the east. When the seas go dry and mountains blow in the wind like leaves. When the Chinese invade Greenland. Then he will return, and not before.”
Stick together for America not the president.

But yeah, it's Russian drones we're concerned about...
For fu€ks sake! What a wanker!
All of these defences can be arranged under NATO umbrella.
They start to invade. Trumps team gets to say, "we told you so," then they become the hero's and get what they wanted for helping them. Putin retreats, knowing he's not leaving empty-handed.

No prediction…fact.
Shameful.
Does he think NATO countries stood guard against Soviet and Russian expansion so that Trump could take land itself ?

Still, doesn’t rationalize threatening a sovereign country. Trump’s soldiers are terrifying.
That and "Uh oh. Trump's National Security Advisor needs to be briefed on what a 'Treaty' is"
I thought it was a protection racket.
Russia hates NATO & would love its demise; Trump wants to remove US strength by quitting NATO & now wants Greenland.
Russia is having issues with Panama Canal passage; Trump wants the canal.
The plan is Russian?
https://www.politico.eu/article/elon-musk-in-secret-contact-vladimir-putin-since-2022-claims-wall-street-journal-report-us-ukraine-russia-war-starlink/
How do they square that with claiming Putin is his best buddy and does what trump wants?
And wouldn’t helping Ukraine be the best way to stop Putin?
Sheesh. The mental gymnastics they go through is insane.
He hasn't even been sworn in yet and he's planning to invade Greenland, Panama and Canada.
Remind me—is “Sudetenland” the correct spelling?
This is revenge and he will pay any price to get it.
We also have the "Silent Service" of nuclear submarines who carry ICBM's that can be parked anywhere without an adversary knowing their location.
We, and our allies have 19 operational aircraft carrier groups.
Russia and China have two combined.
No one can compete.
I'm sure a sovereign country would just allow a foreign country to build a base on their territory and not expect anything in return.
Child, please.
Yes, Greenland benefits. We benefit more.
You only need to lick the boots.
Not deep throat them.
Resistance isn't futile.
Resistance is necessary.
🌊🇺🇸🇺🇦🌈🟧🏞️💙
Sounds about white.
We will have a worldwide trade war US can't win.
The world will never be the same. Thank you, MAGA!
What is WRONG with these ppl?
What are these ghouls going to do when they find out for real that Greenland is not for sale? Are they going to invade Denmark?
Yeah, that sounds right
🙄🫤😤🤬
