Meanwhile Puerto Rico has been trying to get official statehood for some time now.
DAE LYK MURICA!?!?!?
God they're pathetic.
If they weren't tarred and feathered it didn't go bad enough
STOP FUCKING TALKING ABOUT THE GREENLAND THING
It's just a distraction from the actual harmful shit
Threatening to invade a close NATO ally is some actual harmful shit.
The media still doesn't know how to deal with Trump. Part of it is deliberate, but a part of this is possible because he's exploiting fundamental truths about political discourse - when the US president talks about acquiring, annexing, or conquering more territory, it is actually news. There's no world in which it's not news. Even if the intent is distraction.
The media understand Trump just fine. They also understand the money they are about to rake over the next 4 years as they publish ragebait articles one after another.
As always, Trump is just throwing shit on the wall to see is anything sticks. And everyone's freaking out. He does these things with everything, but apparently people have learned nothing.
They would rather be part of Canada. They just gave us half of their island! Of course, we gave them half of ours, too, because it's only fair.
The funny thing is that there has not been a single casualty - unless you count all the bottles of whisky and schnapps - in this 50 year war, but we agreed we needed to call a truce because of Russian aggression. It was decided that we should resolve our internal squabbles, and we did.
After all that, it is a NATO member that's "threatening" us, not Russia.
The funny thing is that there has not been a single casualty
Probably because Canada couldn't find any natives to kill
Oh they killed plenty
The president-elect raved about his son’s trip on Truth Social, going as far as sharing a video of a Greenlander who praised him. That man, Timmy Zeeb, is a convicted smuggler who was sentenced to four years in prison after a 2019 drug bust, DR reported.
These apparent public support setbacks have not stopped Trump from flirting with a Greenland acquisition. When asked last week if he would rule out using military force to take the territory from the longtime U.S. ally Denmark (and the Panama Canal from Panama), he refused.
“No, I can’t assure you on either of those two,” Trump responded. “But I can say this, we need them for economic security.”
Thanks for not voting, shitheads! It’s going to be insanity and horror for a long time now. But at least we showed those Dems who weren’t sufficiently obeisant to the working classes! Yay!
Yep. All the sanctimonious jackasses are just so full of themselves. I bet most of them are not at risk in any way.
I have to wonder, was that one “supporter” a plant. [email protected]
Sadly, idiocy can affect anyone, regardless of race, gender, nationality, or religious beliefs.
For the economic security of the world, the US should grant a 99 year lease to the Chinese, Hong Kong style to maintain a free port.
See how stupid it sounds? Fix yourself please, US.
"Economic security concerns"
What a bullshit way of saying they have resources, and you think you should be able to steal them and get money.
That’s a smokescreen. Greenland houses an incredibly important NATO base that would he critical should Russia try to project force westward into Central Europe.
Just like the Panama Canal, whose sanctions are negatively impacting Russia, this is Trump doing his master’s dirty work.
Trump is a notorious bullshit artist. Nobody with common sense believes any of his bullshit anyway, so he should just come out and say "I want to invade and annex Greenland for the same reason Putin invaded Ukraine. Pure imperialism".
