    I get that this is the bare minimum, but I’ll take a show of anything resembling a back-bone from Starmer, at this point.

  2. Do the Greenland guys generally like being owned by Denmark or is there a significant independence movement?

  3. He can say it all he wants.

    The rest of Europe can scream it all they want.

    Trump gives zero fucks, if he and his regime want Greenland they will take it, easily, by force knowing that there is sweet fuck all Europe is able to do about.

    Trump doesn’t care what Starmer or anyone else has to say about the status of Greenland. Its simply in the American sphere of influence therefore its up to America to decide its fate in the eyes of Trump.

    There is nothing Europe can do if Trump takes Greenland, he can take it, he wants it so he will do it.

  4. Starmer is cornered and he knows it. He’s either going to sacrifice a US alliance over the EU which will damage Britain’s economy or strengthen ties with the US.

    And we all know ideologically what Britain is going to choose.

    Better start packing Britain 🧳

    You can’t stop a dinghy mate. Danish won’t be calling you to help with the Americans.

    Why would you even be discussing colors with a blind guy is beyond me.

  6. Brave Kier Starmer. Bravely ran away, away! When danger reared its ugly head, He bravely turned his tail and fled.

  7. Sir Kid Starver logic:

    * Spray paint a plane after jumping over a wooden picket fence protecting a supposed nationally important military asset? **Terrorist**.
    * Invade a nation and capture their president and family and extract to another country on some trumped up charges after bombing numerous boats which may or may not have been carrying contraband?! **Fine. Carry on.**.

  8. Fun fact, the United Kingdom has more of a claim to Greenland than United States ever would.

  9. Ironically, the US push has reduced the push for independence. It’s worth noting that Denmark is a net contributor to the Greenland economy, as it’s not currently large in terms of population of economic activity. (No offence to Greenlanders intended).

  10. This guy is going to have to make a choice it seems. Where is the line in the sand for the Trump land (oil) grab? Cuba? Columbia? … what about Greenland? Are we going to support/ back our closest ally or try and live in the past with this US fascist regime?

  11. In that case, only the USA should decide it’s future, and if that future includes Greenland in its territory, then I guess you should butt out Starmer!

    Somebody please explain exactly what authority does he have on this topic, if he cannot stop a single dinghy?

    Shouldn’t the same apply to Venezuela?

    Even if they struggle with corruption, it is their internal issue to solve.

    If Greenland wish to leave Denmark then they should be allowed to, should there be a democratic mandate to do so. If the people of the of the Falklands wished to leave the UK then we would face scrutiny from everyone if we refused…

    Says the man who hasnt followed a single directive from the people for which he was elected for.

    Denmark needs to send some troops, maybe even with other EU countries supporting. Attacking a NATO country is quite a different thing to decapitating Venezuela.Â
