Greenland’s elected leader said the gigantic Arctic island is not for sale after Donald Trump once again raised the issue of “ownership and control” of the vast territory that has been part of Denmark for more than 600 years.
“Greenland is ours. We are not for sale and will never be for sale. We must not lose our long struggle for freedom,” Greenland’s prime minister, Múte Egede, said in a written comment.
The US president-elect on Sunday announced that he had picked Ken Howery, a former envoy to Sweden, as his ambassador to Copenhagen, and commented on the status of Greenland, a semi-autonomous part of Denmark.
“For purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
I’m fairly certain Conan bought it back in 2019 after Trump inquired last time.
Trump going to emulate big daddy Putler and embark on a 3 day special operation after he’s back in the White House?
You gotta wonder how many of the orange asshole’s enemies will soon start having problems with windows and poisonings.
It’s all fun and games and a big joke until militaries start occupying sovereign states after being ordered by some delusional leaders that think they can do whatever they want because they surround themselves with people who won’t question a damned thing.
Part of the problem is people like Turnip being in power … the other half of the problem is everyone either standing around supporting him or doing absolutely nothing to stop or question him.
or doing absolutely nothing to stop or question him.
this is what i just can’t wrap my head around… they’ve had four years to do something about this fucking thing, instead of the absolutely fucking nothing they’ve been doing the whole time
One tried and took a shot…
the person actively causing harm is not the problem the real fault lies in the people not stopping them
I really do not understand this rhetoric. It’s illogical.
And I see it applied to all sorts of problems these days. Indicating a serious gap and incredible thinking ability in our society.
Trump supporters are a minority. Only about a quarter of the country voted for him, and half of those prob would’ve voted for any republican, if not more. The only reason trump and his supporters are as powerful as they are is because people with the means to oppose them have done nothing to do so. He could have been convicted for January 6th + a bunch of other shit, he could’ve been taken as a serious threat by democrats, they could’ve run a popular progressive candidate, he could’ve not been given a platform and legitimacy by liberal media. Instead the people who could have stopped or slowed him chose to do nothing, and trump was allowed to win in very much the same way he was the first time, except this year it happened with even more blatant promises of fascism
It’s really starting to sound less like “America first” and more like “America only.” Pissing off the rest of the world isn’t a very good business strategy coming from a guy that’s supposedly good at business.
I think he’d probably prefer the phrase “Amerika über alles” instead, based on his reading preferences.
He’s never been good at business. He inherited his wealth and bankrupted multiple businesses.
Can NATO intervene when a NATO member is attacking a NATO member?
🤔
Trump also wants to pull out of NATO, so maybe that won’t even be relevant.
oh…yes please. Love to have NATO free us from the repugnant filth and his blind faith cultists.
Dear NATO,
If you can get rid of him and his lackeys then we can be BFFs forever ❤️😘🥰
Oh so we get USA teams with Soviet Russia again? But this time with a bit of a plot twist. 😉
Greenland, Canada, and the Panama Canal.
America is clearly hot garbage and nobody wants in on the fire.
Pretty sure he’s also threatened Mexico.
Half of us don’t even want in on it. But here we are.
For purposes of justice and lolz throughout the world, the People feel that ownership and control of Mar-a-Lago is an absolute necessity.
More that Greenland is a huge track of land that will likely be free of ice in the next decade, and is entirely untapped for minerals as well as oil and gas.
If we don’t stop extracting and burning oil and gas, we’re screwed as a species. But, let’s face it, we’ve stuck our heads in the sand, and decided to call climate change fake so boomers could make a few extra bucks before they kick the bucket.
Huuuuge… tracts of land?
What… the curtains?
Now that I managed to hold down the laughs, can someone be so kind in explaining the obcession with Greenland from Orange Man?
- The strategic location of the politically Danish island, in addition to being a gateway to the Arctic, is extremely important for US security.
- Greenland’s natural resources have been the target of interest from foreign companies and global powers.
- Due to its importance, any change in foreign control or influence over Greenland can have implications for Denmark and for NATO.
What’s crazy is the US doesn’t need to own it since it’s Danish and therefore part of NATO. He’s such a dipshit, it’s exhausting
His (Putin’s) plan is to break up NATO.
Well, if you remember one of his ideas was leaving NATO, so he is an idiot, but at least in this one thing he is consistent.
So he is only half stupid but still dumb as a brick for spewing out these things.
Annexation it is, then.
We’re letting our favorite child Israel and our new step daddy Russia do it; why should we have to lose out?
Now, pardon me while I go repeatedly slam my head against a brick wall until I’ve decided it’s time to cry, instead.
