@@notnek202 This is how the talking heads on Russian state TV talk (who are extensions of the Kremlin). They just start listing EU countries they are going to take or in some cases Nuke. Its best to not be like Russia. We are better than this. Just pay the Greenlanders a ton to setup/lease whatever additional ports or bases that are needed. They will accept, no need to 'take' the island, we are not Russia.

@@bens461 I would like to see Denmark resist.

[@futtedk3770]

No of course Denmark could not make much resistance against the US. But are we in a situation where big countries can take over smaller nations - just because they can. Then the world would not be a safe place ☹️

Trump was too lazy. The art of the deal was ghost written.

Sorry it,s over the top Defence will be beefed up Raw materials will be extracted at difficult,expensive logistics Whatever USA this is a pristine spot,I think they would like to keep fishing&their culture

[@CodyCha]

They can’t survive on fishing. Denmark has to pay them 30% of annual income of everyone in Greenland.

I don't think you know how much the Nordic will stick up for each other and France has been Denmarks closes ally through history. We share a border with Germany and there are danish schools and university in Slesvig Holstein and like vise on the Danish side for the Germans community in Denmark. We respect each other and yes history has been brutal but that doesn't mean we can not make the effort reach out with kindness cross borders to our frinds. This retorik are so dengerous. You are putting US regular Americans at danger not the US oligarki. But when it smell like fire there are most probably one. All the best from Denmark to the people that lost their homes loved ones in California and you will always be welcoome here❤

how is your new King Frederik doing for your country? Do you all accept him?

[@user-rp1fo9xq7p]

@lynnhubbard844 Yes

[@LORRAINE54500]

We must remember ... Donald Trump has never ruled out the use of force to take Greenland. Hitler invaded Europe in the 1940s. I don't want the USA to invade Greenland by force.

[@Tycini1]

Is this an AI generated Trump clone? Certainly sounds like it

[@russbennett4918]

buffer/insulation from China and Russia, mineral resources/rare earth -- plus, it would go a long way to support his legacy as a great president.
