MAGAs tried to claim their messiah was just playing 3-dimensional chess when he spoke about taking Greenland…by military force, if necessary.

 

Those who have IQs > turnips know better. We know the guy only says what he believes and what he intends, no matter how bizarre or whacked out it is, just like when he thought nuking hurricanes or injecting disinfectant were good ideas coming from his “really stable genius” mind. He still thinks he wowed psychologists by repeating “Man Women Person Camera TV”, as if any five year old couldn’t do it.

 

Well, he called the PM of Denmark---the nation holding Greenland since 1380---and told her she had a choice of giving it to him, selling it, or he would take it by military force. He also threatened imposing punitive tariffs on Denmark if they fail to bend to his bloated will.

 

Somebody tell the bone spurs coward that it’s 2025, and the days of Imperialism are long since dead.

 

If he does try to send US troops to steal the island, one should not be surprised if Putin decides to take back Alaska. Certainly, Putin has more claim to Alaska than the US has to Greenland. Until “Seward’s Folly”, Alaska was a part of Russia, and the State is certainly closer to Russia than it is to the continental US. Plus, Denmark has held Greenland for almost 500 years longer than the US held Alaska. Putin could re-rename Denali something like Dzerzhinsky Peak or Mt Beria.

 

The clown is going to make Americans personna non grata in every decent country on the face of the Earth. I wouldn't blame nations who might decide to ban entry to Americans, and send any American home who is currently resident. Americans are becoming a vermin the civilized world does not need.

 

Maybe all the MAGAs here, who support everything our convicted felon does, will volunteer for active duty in the Battle of Greenland? No, like their messiah, they’re likely cowards.

Delusional drivel

56% tax rate = socialist country.

 

It's the top rate, basic rate is 12%, plus there are various deductibles and so on. However, the tax rate does not define a government as socialist. In any case why do Americans insist a country is socialist due to welfare policies, surely one of the roles of government is to support the less fortunate and general health. Most of the world would view going into debt / bankruptcy as in the US for health care as unacceptable

did trump call greenland pm and threaten to take it by force?

 

I just googled it, at your request, and no he didn't call the Greenland PM .

 

He called the Denmark PM, but I can't find any source that claims he made the threat as you specify it.

Maybe, you should do your homework, before demanding it from others

Duh? That would be quite difficult as Greenland does not have a PM,

Sad to say,.but seems to be very little separate Russia from USA these days. 

 

And if Trump manage to change Usa against Europe, there is a number of countries wh already fed up with the US, so who will be your friends then? 

 

Again, Usa needs Europe, more than we need you

No matter how much power he now has, not everything he asks for will be adhered to. Things still have to go through Congress, and they've seen many presidents try and use their power to change things. The US will never be against Europe as that's where most of our ancestors come from, and now so many live in America. Trade is necessary between most nations and that won't change because there is money to be made, and commodities that people want. Most countries thrive on this trade, so only a moron would try and change that, and that moron won't last. As far as Trump, time will tell if he sticks with his many promises or just gets caught up in his usual power trip all for his own ego.

He finally gets Britain off the hook for India.  Well done that man!

 

And if you just look at a globe and imagine you were playing a strategy computer game - then both Greenland and Ukraine makes some sense.

 

Although I suspect Trump hatched his plans looking at a map rather than a globe, and he might feel short-changed if he gets his hands on Greenland.

Strange comment: a google search says that the danes are quite happy with their lot and in fact like the socialist aspects of the way things work. And who said any change would be against their will?

Good. Then you know about the kinship ties and organizational ties between Alaska natives and Greenland natives?

Self determination is $$. Too long the Dems and colonialists have treated Natives like children, interfering in their plans for employment, money and development. Roads. Schools. Hospitals. Ports.

I usually don't comment in this section, but I enjoy the entertainment value. The above post was way to big to bother commenting on, but one sentence stood out to me: "... the days of imperialism are long since dead".

 

Are they? Really? You (and I) might wish that to be true, but last time I checked, many of the left/liberals/... keep saying that they KNOW what Putin wants. And that is to re-create the Soviet Union and invade Europe (exactly HOW they know this is a bit unclear to me, and likewise how Putin would go about doing this isn't obvious with his limited resources and economy).

 

And China, well we can observe that they are on all continents, busy investing/buying up ports, land and building big things with thick strings attached. But they also flex some military muscles, so far mainly in the South China Sea, but also elsewhere.

 

Feel free to disagree, I don't really care. I just had to point it out, that's all.

Your response makes it clear who is being spoon fed narratives. The lack of self awareness is astonishing.

That would be an interesting case as Greenland is a NATO member. 🙂

Just think if the USA did buy Greenland, then, hopefully, NATO would loose 2 members

Will the orange one inform Greenlanders that they will lose their universal healthcare and free education, or will he inform current Americans that he will allow Greenlanders to continue as they are? Tough call.

Does it work like that. Region A votes to secede from Country X, votes to join US, US automatically lets them in.

 

So where is Puerto Rico in this? They are actual US citizens. In the 2024 US Elections, 58% of Puerto Ricans voted in favour of Statehood. 52% voted for it in 2020.

 

But then Trump suggested that the US offer Denmark Puerto Rico in exchange. Denmark should make a counter offer, because this is how Trump thinks; Greenland for one of the US States that Trump doesn't want, like California. Californians who want to remain American are free to relocate to Greenland and start a new life on the ice shelf eating raw fish and walrus meat. 

 

In the new Danish province of Californien, the provincial capital is moved to the pretty town of Solvang, previously known as the Danish Capital of America. Remaining Californians earn Danish citizenship, and with that visa free travel to the EU. Naturally all trade barriers are dropped. Californians will feel very comfortable as Danes. Danes are almost embarassingly fluent at English.

 

In the natural subsequent negotiations, Denmark settles for Florida, after rejecting Nebraska. Evacuations of frightened Villagers to neighbouring luxurious resort town of Bayou La Batre*, Alabama, start in the morning.

 

 

*The movie Forrest Gump lies. Its an inbred dump, with the main feature being the state liquor store.

I think that you are getting confused. The majority is Greenlanders are indigenous Inuits. It's the majority of Americans who are not native to their country. 

 

 

There is a matter of semantics there. Norsemen colonised Greenland two centuries before the Inuit. Denmark colonised Greenland in the 18 Century, making them colonisers and natives simultaneously. Ultimately none of us are natives, because we all came out of Africa.

And your point is? Do you know when the Greenlanders arrived? Did you know they came from Alaska?

 

The original Greenlanders came from Iceland, Norway, 300 years before those invading Alaskan colonists.

 

The Paleo Inuit died out/abandoned Greenland  almost 1000 years before Erik the Red, when he arrived in 986. There is no sign of them in the present populaton. The Thule invaders/illegals from Alaska, didn't arrive until the 14th Century, whereupon they found a bunch of brickhard Norsemen already living there. They had battles, killed each other, but eventually the Norseman won. The Norsemen gave many words to the world. One of them was berserkr, to denote a warrior off his tits on narcotics going on a rampage wearing a bearskin.
