  1. It seems that empowering a billionaire pedophile psychopath wasn’t the master plan Americans thought it would be. I wonder if the EU will deign to take a firm stance against this imperialist pig, or if, as usual, they’ll let him do whatever he wants.

  2. Behind the Trump voice are all the big extraction corporations pushing this “we need.”

    Here come all the russian bots and MAGA chuds to tell us why invading other countries and starting wars around the world is actually a good thing because daddy told them that’s what they believe.

    Is the pattern going to be now probably what we saw last night then?

    Build a media pretext, create flimsy links to threats and then a big overwhelming show of force for however many months.

    When the time comes, special forces insertion and forced extraction of senior leadership?

  5. What’s mental about this is to all intents and purposes the US already has Greenland due to their military presence there.

    I would hazard a guess this is about something to do with trade, notably Denmark’s pharmaceutical industry, but I doubt Trump is that smart and it’s more just throwing toys out of a pram.

  6. So when is the US getting rid of the “Land of the Free” line from the Star Spangled Banner?

    The thing that seems so insane about this isn’t that the US needs/wants resources that Greenland may have. What’s insane is that the government has for some reason gone all in on a Manifest Destiny style schtick, as if they couldn’t have just negotiated in good faith with a European ally/friendly nation and enriched everyone.

  8. Trump: “Russia isn’t a threat to the USA!”

    Trump: “We need Greenland because of the threat from Russia!”

  9. Let’s see how he handles Venezuela first shall we. He basically committed a crime, acted tough.
    And nothing happened.

    A president and his wife are captured. But Venezuela is and remains as it was, under control by the same groups.

    The only way trump gets his way will be more force.
    This administration is a kindergarden.

  10. This needs to be stopped, it will not end well. Does everyone wish to die all of a sudden or wtf is going on?

    if the US actually tries to annex Greenland, the west will never view them the same again even if a new president comes in at some point. it will be the end of the US

  12. So.

    Are the citizens of America going to actually do anything to stop this?

    Is anyone in the world going to do anything to stop this?

    I think the answer is: No and No.

    So. If that is the reality, than I am going to go on with my life and be happy. Fuck it.

    If I do what I believe is the answer to getting this to stop. I will be all alone and labeled as a crazy person. There has to be organization and we need leaders that have access to microphones and are not afraid to talk about things that are scary and potentially sad.

    I’m sure Denmark probably already has military bases there, but they need to publicly and loudly proclaim they are expanding it today. And Germany needs to park a couple of subs there, Sweden a few Griffens there, and France a few frigates. Just to make a point.

  14. I never thought I’d be so embarrassed to be American. I love my country, I really do but I don’t see us ever coming back from this.

  15. This statement alone should be sufficient to impeach the president. WTF happened to the rest of your politicians? Are they all in the Epstein files?

  16. courtesy of US citizens, for voting Trump in a second time or failing to vote against him – we could have all done without enduring* this BS

  17. He went on to describe the island—part of Denmark, a NATO ally – as “surrounded by Russian and Chinese ships.”

    Old guy is not right in his head, again

  18. You are all discussing this as some remote politcal game. But this is MY part of the world, MY hemisphere. I live 20 minutes from Copenhagen, my country is part of NATO, we have had military excercises with your army, we didn’t develop nuclear arms because YOU vetoed it in return for promise of protection. This is a betrayal that is shaking the core of Scandinavia. Nothing will ever be the same again. USA is threatening a military ally with war. How can you let this happen? USA is your country, he is your leader. STOP HIM!
