  1. What is there to fucking discuss? We don’t have any claim to Greenland.
    Donnie needs to drop his obsession with it.

    They should change the name to Epstien Island and see if that calms things down any.

    Abusers don’t ‘discuss’. That’s just the bait for the trap.

    They demand. They bully. They extort.

    He means ‘threaten,’ since they already have military presence there.

    **Can Greenland tell them to leave or is there some ‘agreement’ that the US can exploit?**

    Aside from that old (easily forgotten) ‘agreement’ that the US wouldn’t touch Greenland with the US purchase of the Virgin Islands. Trump & company don’t like fact checking.

    *During 1916, the two sides agreed to a sale price of $25,000,000, and the United States accepted a Danish demand for a declaration stating that they would “not object to the Danish Government extending their political and economic interests to the whole of Greenland”*

  5. What is there to discuss?

    Is Greenland a semi-autonomous part of Denmark? Yes

    Has either Greenland or Denmark expressed wanting to be part of the usa? No.

    Would trump/usa taking forcefully Greenland for “security purposes” equate to pukin taking Ukraine for “security purposes”?

    Yes, yes it would.

    There is nothing to discuss. Greenland’s not for sale. Move on Greenland = end of NATO and a declaration of economic war with the EU. Let’s see the Americans go ahead with this!

  7. These threats may have set back the Greenland independence movement. An independent Greenland might be more vulnerable to US territorial aspirations.

  8. “If the president identifies a threat to the national security of the United States, every president retains the option to address it through military means,”

    Yes, because Greenland and Denmark are such tyrants threatening the global order. /s

    This man shits his pants, Americans are following a man who shits his pants.

  10. Lmao. Discuss.
    – Trump: *i want Greenland*
    – Denmark: *fuck off*
    – Trump: *we’ll discuss it*

    The arrogance is overwhelming. Americans do realize not everyone wants to be them, right?

  12. Imagine your friendly neighbour deciding one day to visit your house to disscuss the “ownership” of your extra 1 bedroom apartment after threatening you for weeks.

  13. EmbarrassedCockRing on

    Lmao imagine telling your neighbor that you’re going to discuss ownership of their house.

  14. When the US bought the Virgin Islands from Denmark in 1917, part of the deal was US recognition of Danish sovereignty over all of Greenland.

    Treaty of the Danish West Indies

  15. My neighbour has a really cool Lambo. I’m going to discuss ownership of the Lambo with him next week, because I need it! This street is my street and that Lambo should be mine.

  16. There is literally no need to discuss anything.

    We do not need Greenland.

    It is not ours,

    and we have no right to take it.

    End of discussion.
