Truth social. So it’s Pravda. Straight up propaganda.
It’s a direct quote from Trump’s account.
And Hitler wanted Poland, France, Russia, and a few others. See what it got him.
Why do I have a feeling he saw the Mercator version of Greenland and was having size envy and wants it.
Maybe he thinks that post climate change it will be valuable real estate.
Somehow that is the first thing that makes sense for his obsession with Greenland.
Can we just build a replica oval office at Mar A Lago and having him play president while someone real just takes over? Fuckkkkk
Like Elon? Already happening.
🤣🤣🤣
Only in a world where you screw over your allies…
It would lead to the breakup of NATO, so guess who’s idea this was.
The US annexing Greenland is all it would take? How so? I’m asking because I’m woefully undereducated in these matters. Couldn’t we form our own NATO, without the US but with blackjack and universal health care?
Greenland belongs to Denmark. Denmark doesn’t want to give it up. So annexing it would constitute an attack of one NATO member on another.
Exactly. Also, Europe can and likely will start its own defensive alliance sooner or later. But with the US constituting more than half the military power of NATO right now, that won’t amount to much other than keeping the Russians in check.
Ah, so the issue is that NATO, in order to be effective, is very much dependent on the US being in it. Bother.
Not really, NATO is a nuclear power and a several times bigger conventional military power than Russia, even without the US.
That said, it would be shit fighting against the US. For everyone involved.
It’s an interesting thought exercise - US has the base formerly known as Thule. My father was stationed there decades ago, however according to Wikipedia, it’s part of Space Command now. I can’t imagine that being much of an offensive force, nor being near anything.
Meanwhile Wikipedia lists a Dutch navy detachment splitting time between there and Faroes
Luckily it seems like both would have a difficult time asserting a military option, and any such misadventure would likely be dominated by the weather. It’s hard to believe the residents would approve
How much do native Greenlanders like being governed by Denmark, would they conceivably be better off as US citizens? Obviously self governance is best but could they defend their own territory in that case. I think there’s a case to be made for this idea and few Americans regret having Alaska as part of the union.
Last time this idea was brought up, the Danish response was clear: Denmark can’t sell Greenland because it’s not ours to sell. The Greenlanders rejected the offer.
There’s been decades of collaboration between Denmark and Greenland on establishing autonomy and independence of Greenland. It appears they are not interested in becoming integrated into a different state, but would rather continue that process.
But indeed, it’s up to the people of Greenland.
There’s probably health care they’d lose
And lose their Schengen passport? And have to adopt to a foreign language?
Greenland is autonomous, it is part of the kingdom but governs itself.
Hope that helps.
We don’t ask honest questions around here buddy.
it may be an honest question, but surely a stoopid question.
There’s an actual answer to the question below.
