Nearly half of Danes see US as threat and 78% oppose Greenland sale, poll shows

That's always important to keep in mind!

It’s roughly the same percentage of Canadians who are SOMEHOW pro-US invasion of Canada

Yeah, I noticed some of those users when blocking a bunch of magas elsewhere, and it was very o_O to see, too.

I feel he saw how big it was on a typical map and thought - I can double the size of America. All we have to do is kick out these no-name suckers who happen to be there.

Not going to lie if I was Danish I'd probably be feeling Anti American enough to start giving China the mining contracts instead. That way if Trump does invade he's not only going against Nato but also China.

That said it should probably be in the hands of the Greenlanders themselves but not sure a referendum is wise looking at the likes of Brexit etc.

I've been looking for any possible way that an average Joe can make a difference and havent been able to come up with any plan. So now I have one. Will go out after work and see about buying a train.

Calm everyone. Trump does not want Greenland, never did. He also doesn't care about the gulf of Mexico or Panama cannel.

It's just a distraction and negative media overload method that he uses. And you know what, it works. Here we are talking about this and not the serious things.

You don’t need to “own” greenland for that, you could have lighter security like the EU has with say Switzerland.

As an Icelander, I just know if Trump gets Greenland he won't stop there. He'll try to take Iceland too. I'm scared.

As a European, I would say a US president repeatedly theatening a EU country with invasion is already pretty serious in itself.

Doesn't matter if it's a distraction or not. If Trump takes Greenland it will break NATO completely, and when Trump threatens to take Greenland, it weakens NATO and that can lead to all sorts of problems ... just not necessarily for the US.
