Wonder if conservatives knew they were voting to destroy all America’s allegiances. Or if their brains were incapable of thinking that far ahead.
I’m gonna go with option 2.
- they don’t know what that word means
- they don’t care what that word means
- they think america doesn’t need anybody but america
- fuck anybody that is not america
Ffs. . . Putin is giggling in glee at the payoff from his agent in the White House, and all the time/effort spent on troll farms and blackmail.
Same with China, as Russia and US fuck around with this stupid shit, China’s going ham on Large Scale clean/free Energy, Chip Design, Robotics and Space Exploration…
World is getting smaller, and goof thinks Greenland is going to be some kind of magical barrier?
Change my mind: Literally zero people want Greenland to be part of the US except Donald Trump and the people who have trained themselves to always agree with Donald Trump.
The people who have trained Donald Trump to agree with them. They want oil, minerals, land, etc.
They don’t even have a fucking reason. Oh, it is an important strategic location? Good thing we already have a base there!
I believe the accelerationists want Greenland to join the US. Those guys are eager to see a nuclear war kick off.
A large percentage of the world finds Donald Trump being president of the USA unacceptable.
A large percentage of the US as well.
Not large enough.
I really want to stress how deeply unpopular this is in the U.S. The MAGA movement is about 30% of the electorate, so you can generally expect that even the dumbest, most insane Trump decisions have a floor of 30% approval. 9% of Americans support this, 86% oppose it. At minimum, two-thirds of Trump’s most rabid, loyal followers are against this.
Thanks. They’re comforting numbers.
Well, I hate to throw cold water on that comfort, but I’m not sure the numbers matter. Trump is increasingly unresponsive to polling, even within his base, and it seems like the Pentagon really is planning an invasion. It would fracture his own MAGA movement, completely destroy NATO, make America a global pariah, and potentially start WWIII, but it seems he is seriously considering it.
Ah I’m sure he’s considering it and the planning is a given. I’m glad the bulk of Americans have some sense in this matter at least.
Probably as retribution to the American people for not voting for him in 2021. Such a lust for revenge
I don’t know what kind of authority Greenland / Denmark would have to expel all US personnel from Greenland, but given there are US military bases there, I imagine there might be some contractual issues.
As an alternative, at this point, I think they should be blockading those bases, and searching any vehicle going into or out of it for supply reasons. Also institute a no fly zone over their base so they can’t just air drop stuff in.
No net new personnel going into the base (staffing swaps maybe… like 1 in 1 out). No new weapons allowed.
If Trump was going to try something, you don’t want them being able to prep those bases to assist with the assult any more than they already can, and you want them locked down with defences in their pathway before anything starts.

Ask Cuba how that went.
Cuba was a stones throw away, and didn’t have the military capabilities of Denmark.
I have a feeling trump is willing to call the “Denmark will put boots on the ground to forcibly expel/kill the invaders” (what I unfortunately suspect would be a) bluff.
Bluff or not, I believe you are correct.
