Greenland’s population is overwhelmingly against leaving the Danish realm in favor of the US, dealing a blow to President Donald Trump’s insistence the island is keen to join.
If you’re Denmark, you don’t have the luxury of ignoring this. Trump will escalate this before it’s resolved. My guess is he’ll order the military to stop paying for the US military base in Greenland, start operations that exceed what is in the agreement, and basically try to provoke a response to use as pretense for further escalation. It’s already gone too far for Trump to just back down.
So…why do you think its bullshit? Trump was talking about this last time so it doesnt seem like one of his usual distractions and lies. Seems like he actually wants to take it. Every once in a while one of his series of lies is true.
The evil, detrimental shit he’s actually doing is what should be taken seriously. Not this smokescreen bullshit that’s meant to distract. And yet here we are going so far as to take polls for the daily slot it now has in every newscast…
Ultimately, the U.S. would successfully pressure Denmark to sell the islands by threatening a military attack on the neutral nation during World War I.
WHY IS ANYONE TAKING THIS BULLSHIT SERIOUSLY‽

The fact that the US has a blithering idiot for a president needs to be taken very seriously.

But we have no real way of determining what’s smokescreen and what is actually intended. It’s equally horrible and unreasonable.
I suppose im not directly affected if Trump abuses Greenland, but I’m sure they care
Not everyone is a US citizen. One does not simply threaten 450 million people with war and then complain that we’re counting our stealth subs.
Because the US has a history of buying islands form Denmark — that’s where the US Virgin Islands come from.
Plus that’s an example that escalated …
