    Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, and Canada are sending troops to Greenland amid continued threats from U.S. President Donald Trump to annex the territory, multiple outlets reported.

    Trump said anything less than U.S. control of Greenland would be “unacceptable” in a warning to NATO allies about Arctic security ahead of a White House meeting with Denmark on Wednesday. The meeting was scheduled to discuss the strategically-important island, a semiautonomous Danish territory.

    Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said in a post on X that several officers from the Swedish Armed Forces will arrive in Greenland on Wednesday.

    They are, as of now, only sending a delegation of 13 soldiers to “explore the framework for a possible safeguarding mission” (not a literal quote, but that’s the gist of it)

    Incase anyone had any doubt how treasonous and a russian agent trump is. NATO IS CURRENTLY PREPARING TO BE INVADED BY THE UNITED STATES

    WWIII aside, Battle in Greenland is at least as preposterous as repeated failures to fight in Siberia.

  5. I thought it was especially clever when they said: “Look Donnie, now you won’t have to worry about China and Russia anymore. We got this buddy!”

  6. We’ve officially reached the maga sacrificing their children for the cult of trump stage.

  7. Trump said that Russia and China were coming for Greenland.

    Call his bluff and send troops to protect against all foreign nations! Rally to Denmark and Greenland!

    If you showed me this headline in 2010 I would’ve shit someone else’s pants 

  9. Donald Trump finally admitted the true motivation behind his obsession with “owning” Greenland, explicitly stating that full ownership is “psychologically needed for success” and “psychologically important for me.” By prioritizing his personal mental state over a 75-year alliance with Denmark and the democratic rights of 57,000 Greenlanders, Trump is displaying the textbook definition of toxic narcissism—treating an entire nation as a trophy to be “owned” rather than a sovereign ally. Despite having full military access through existing NATO treaties, he has threatened to take the island “the hard way” if he isn’t given the title deed, proving that this isn’t about national security or Arctic strategy, but rather a desperate attempt to satisfy his own ego with the “biggest deal in history” at the expense of global stability.

    Alternative headline: *Pedophile Clown Starts WW3 With Full Support Of The GOP*

    Imagine any other president openly and repeatedly threatening an ally and not being immediately impeached and removed from office. This madness needs to stop.

  12. If two years ago, I was told that NATO was preparing for a war with the United States….

    I’d say: “I guess that means Trump won again.”

    The Trump/Epstein files are going to deliver WW3 before our president is exposed as a murderous human trafficker.

  14. Fucking insane that other countries have to be proactive to prevent a man child from attacking another foreign country.

    Nice. NATO is preparing itself for an invasion from the USA.

    I think people really need to let that sink and ask themselves if they are OK with killing Germans, Swedes, Greenlanders, Italians, Canadians.

    For Greenland. The USA will isolate itself much akin to Russia if this happens. That doesn’t seem to be working out well for Russia. They live in a dictatorship and their economy is in tatters and the citizens don’t have rights.

    Well I guess, that sounds a lot like us these days huh? Getting closer by the minute.

    Do people really want this? Truly?

    Where are all the gun shagging yanks saying they love their guns so much so they can use them to overthrow a tyrannical government? Why aren’t they overthrowing? I thought that’s how they justify children being shot to death at school every day?

  17. Together we are strong. All the Scandinavian nations are sending troops too. Firstly to convene with all the other countries and when a plan is in place, more will be sent.

    We’re ready.

    And we won’t forget.

  18. im fucking scared. i live in Finland, and Putin will 100% use this opportunity to invade EU if USA starts a war with NATO. and guess where Finland is? right next to Russia.

  19. This is actually insane.

    The President of the United States is a mad king. The fucking country is complicit.

    If the US invades Greenland, and the Republican voters and donors go along with it, I don’t know how we actually unfuck this country.

    Jesus fucking Christ! Look at what the ignorant has done to our nation. We’re about to be in a full out war with our nato allies because Trump wants to hide the fact that he used to fuck kids.

  21. No_Respect_5801 on

    I was in the Military, I’ve done training with a lot of NATO partners, I’m fucking pissed that are throwing away our friends because trump wants to play conqueror. They helped us in the Middle East during the war on terror, and how do we repay them? We threaten and plan to invade them. What a joke.
