Or rather, Canada should invite some blue leaning states to join their far superior project.

When it comes to economic policy, they are.
That would be the rational and just thing of course. But this time I gave them a bit of slack, since they removed Sweden from their royal weapon. Maybe silly…
Maybe imperialist is a better word. I’m not sure if the definition of “colonial” require that the subject population was there first.
Thanks from a fellow Swede! Basically the only thing I know about Greenland is that it’s a good place if you want to get really really drunk. And then there is the old colonial issue. Never talked to a Greenlander, but the Icelanders I know seem to still be quite hostile towards Denmark, so I just extrapolate from there. Different ethnicity probably don’t make things easier.
Let’s hope you’re right. My point was basically that the US has many tools at their disposal. Especially when rules of yesterday don’t apply.
The population is so small that the US easily can give each individual a million dollar. And far less will probably be enough. So we can be certain that the locals will say yes if there is a vote.
This will unite the left and right in Denmark. And Denmark is probably the most left-wing country in the world, if you look at economic policy (maybe Norway beats them).
However, one should not forget that Denmark-Greenland is a real colonial problem, and Greenland deserves independence.
Still, I side with Denmark in this conflict. They should not be bullied into anything by US fascists that for sure will be even worse colonial overlords.
I’m a bit disappointed they removed Sweden from their shield. Lack of ambition.

The master plan… 🥸
The Nato weapons are basically US weapons. And the future of Nato is quite uncertain. Also, AFAIK the UK weapons force is fully dependent on the US. France is the only western country (except the US) which has a completely independent nuclear force.
I really don’t understand the tactics of Trump here, since this behavior is guaranteed to push EU towards China. If common liberal values and culture are nil and there is global anarchy, China will be a natural EU ally, if one consider only the geography. China + EU vs Russia. And Russia will probably be an ally of the US. (I’ve played way too many strategy games.)
Maybe he just sees that EU is really weak now, and he’s probing the landscape.
Anyway, it’s interesting to see that the new US administration already performs hybrid war against the EU.
Also, EU probably needs it’s own stash of strategic nuclear weapons ASAP.
Finally.
It could also be that this is not sanctioned by China and that the crew members are working for Russia. It’s not obvious what China gains from this kind of behavior. China is very dependent on European good will and trade. Especially as the trade war with the US intensifies.
They should’ve done that years ago. Twitter was a shit show long before Elon took over. And there are barely any normies on X. So public official presence isn’t necessary. Neither from a democratic nor an election winning viewpoint.
