Summary
Trump stated the U.S. will “go as far as we have to go” to gain control of Greenland, citing national and international security needs.
JD Vance will visit Greenland’s Pituffik military base, scaling back a broader visit amid backlash from Greenland and Denmark.
Greenlandic Prime Minister Mute Egede condemned the move as “aggressive pressure” and insisted that “Greenland belongs to the Greenlanders.”
Trump has repeatedly expressed interest in acquiring Greenland, asserting that U.S. control is essential for security.

The United States is threatening invasion of a free and allied nation.
The media is complicit.
The population is complicit.
Edit: The military is complicit.
Anyone who didn’t vote is especially responsible.
Fucking dumbasses that they are.
I literally can’t tell the difference between the parties still. /s
Anyone who sits on their ass at this news is complicit. We are reaching the points where not standing up is in fact approval for the regime and their actions
Anyone who let this happen is complicit.
If you didn’t vote, you’re a fucking idiot who doesn’t understand externalities.
There’s that lack of nuance again.
Did you let this happen?
According to you apparently yes but you’re a self avowed bigot so how much does your opinion matter really?
Jesus, you are very stupid.
Or felons or disenfranchised for some reason it another.
Chill, some people have reasons and maybe they aren’t all worse then actual fascists. I’d say likely most aren’t but dehumanization is also fun though I guess.
What reasons because of Gaza? Yah how did that turn out seems one option was worse then the other.
I already said there are reasons people couldn’t vote that are beyond their control like felon disenfranchisement.
You understand reasons exist beyond ideological ones correct?
We all knew where this was going.
Those who didn’t vote based on some sort of moral principle were dumb enough to not realize they would make whatever those issues were 1000 times worse.
Hope they’re happy with people being disappeared off the streets.
Sure.
Yeah that doesn’t magically make them not disenfranchised felons, voting would just be committing a fairly serious crime.
That’s fucked up Nazi shit bud.
Oh geez, you can act like that’s what I’m saying, but it’s not.
Nice try though? Whatever it takes to make you feel less bad about your decisions.
It’s literally what you said and doubled down on bud.
Ed: I didn’t choose to be a felon nor in fact do most people but you don’t seem to even be reading what I’m saying because you’re still assuming it’s a choice. You’re a bigot.
🙄
nobodies talking about people that lost the right to vote. chill.
They didn’t add any nuance and they doubled down, why would I think more or less than what is said.
Ed: >Anyone who didn’t vote is especially responsible.
Fucking dumbasses that they are.
Where’s the exception, where’s the nuance? Oh then maybe be like oh shit sorry I could be more clear, instead of “that’s not what I said” which is factually incorrect.
The irony of someone asking where the nuance is and immediately diving for the worst possible interpretation is truly amazing 😂😂😂
I can only assume you didn’t vote and feel guilty due to your need to deflect.
That’s not irony boss.
Ed: also we’ve went over this already but you’re either too dumb to remember or conveniently forgetting. I’m a disenfranchised voter and you’re just a bigot.

“yeah man where is the nuance, fucking dumbass.”
You’re really not digging yourself out of the bigoted asshole rut you’ve dug yourself.
Trump got rid of the military leaders who wouldn’t be complicit and no one cared
Military is complicit
Like hell any of us is gonna bear arms against our allies.
The military is complicit.
That’s so true that I’m gonna edit and add it.
Is he actually threatening another NATO member with military action?
He doesn’t have to. He’ll first let the US leave NATO… and then attack Greenland.
Hopefully. If the US leaves NATO and then attacks, article 5 can be triggered.
If they attack before leaving NATO I don’t believe article 5 can be used.
A lot of NATO coordination is done by the US, so if it leaves it remains to be seen whether the remaining countries could quickly reorganize.
He’s going to buy them out.
NATO countries should put out a statement that they are ready to defend Greenland from any incursion.
the rest of the g20 countries should immediately financially sanction the us and every us politician along with the us dollar
It would be more effective to threaten sanctions if the US proceeds if the goal is it to deter them, then if it doesn’t work, you impose them as punishment and a bargaining chip to get them to pull back.
No need. That’s what articles 4 and 5 are for.
Everyone knows that. The point is to create a deterrent by making it clear that they are 1) taking the threat seriously and 2) already preparing and planning to defend, IOW not fucking around. Sending some extra troops to the island and/or flying some jets around the area on a regular isn’t a bad idea either.
I wish this man would finally do something beneficial for the world and just die already… preferably of a cheeseburger related causation (heart attack, stroke, or choke).
I hope we find out that he drowned in his own pony jar.
Wasn’t that the jar that shattered up some guy’s ass?
Fucking believe him. Take it as the threat that it is. Prepare immediately.
How? Arm Greenland?
Yes! Call on allies, station troops and ships, protect critical infrastructure. Everything Ukraine should have done, do it now.
Allies can’t even help Ukraine effectively, you want them to fight on two fronts?
Unless you want to cede Greenland to Trump or Ukraine to Putin, there’s really no choice
god i was so happy when i heard he got shot and then he had to ruin it by surviving.
Luigi 2 when
Welp. It was nice being in NATO while it lasted I guess.
You guys should definitely invoke article 5 if we pull anything, and if orangeboi vetoes it, straight up ignore him and A5 anyways. I am completely serious.
Most of NATO’s coordination is done by the U.S. it would be difficult for the other countries to organize themselves with a U.S. veto.
Besides, I doubt any country is crazy enough to attack the U.S.
Maybe he’ll take a trade, offer him Greenland for Hawaii, see if he takes it
He would because that gives the US/Russia alliance a much better play at Europe
That’s basically a declaration of war against a NATO country.
The US should thus also bomb itself through article 5 when it decides to invade Greenland.War with rest of Nato, really ?
What better way to destroy NATO for the Russians?
Every fucking time he announces tariffs they hit the buy Greenland or make Canada a state bullshit button.
Sure, kick off WW3…
So when will the 3 day special operation begin?
Just do it, okay? I’m so fucking tired of hearing this bullshit everyday. Just do it and get it fucking done with , you fucking imbecile.
Accelerationism hasn’t proven to be an effective method of dealing with him so far. There’s no reason to believe that pattern would change because of this.
Careful…careful what you wish for… we don’t want to do that.
Imperialist pig.
