The US will get Greenland, otherwise it is an "unfriendly act" from Denmark, says Trump

[sucius1@lemdro.id]

Ownership of Greenland is not about the US, but about the protection of the entire free world - and Denmark cannot provide that, says Donald Trump.

I am sure we can come to a deal where the US extends the territorial defense of Greenland, they already have bases and troops there.

US companies are also very welcome to invest in mining operations, if they think it's profitable.

This is about pounding your chest and looking strong, treating the world as a map painter strategy game.

Has anyone seen reactions to this from people who say that Ukraine should just give Putin what he wants? Because I haven't and I'm curious.

I mean what do you expect from a rapist?

They already do this, as you've acknowledged yourself

US companies are also very welcome to invest in mining operations, if they think it’s profitable.

I guess this was already possible in Denmark, but according to Danish Laws and Social Standards

So why do you want to negotiate with him?

[evilcartyen@feddit.dk]

I don't. But I wouldn't rule out that they simply decide to just take possession of Greenland without asking.

The US were out closest ally, so this Greenland-thing is baffling. It's like someone saying they want free access to your house or else and they already have a key.

Greenland is culturally part of the US sphere, as can be seen by the lack of trains. The hyper aggressive EU, the former global colonialist are working hard to develop a new colony in the Americas. Just look at the former German foreign minister, who is calling for conquering Canada. Washington's security is at risk, so naturally they are going to nuke the entire world. What else are they going to do? /s

Maybe Denmark should offer Greenland in exchange for Florida.

And when he then retorts, foaming at the mouth and furious, why on earth he should exchange an important part of his great country in such a horse-trade, they end the conversation with a simple "Exactly."

[evilcartyen@feddit.dk]

It's too risky. He might agree to it.

Let's suggest it's Vermont and New Hampshire.

But evil Greenlanders don't allow virtuous oil companies to ruin their environment to get the oil. Someone needs to liberate all that oil /s

[breakingcups@lemmy.world]

At least we learned that SapphireSphinx is your alternate account.

[jeena@piefed.jeena.net]

Perhaps there is a deal to be made, the US can have Greenland and they in turn give them the same area but on their main land.

It's an insider in [email protected] to tell everyone is everyone's alternate and to copy comments which were posted twice.

You know where his stupid Mar-a-Lago is? Even he should realise that this would put his tacky temple into Denmark.

On the one hand, you don't want to be stuck with Florida. On the other, those are usually red electoral votes...
