President Donald Trump says he may consider using military force to take Greenland, insisting the resource-rich island is needed for national security purposes.
“I don’t rule it out,” he told NBC News’ Kristen Welker in an interview that aired today. “I don’t say I’m going to do it, but I don’t rule out anything.”
“We need Greenland very badly,” he continued. “Greenland is a very small amount of people, which we’ll take care of, and we’ll cherish them, and all of that. But we need that for international security.”

*So let’s change the subject.*
The US already has a base in Greenland. It used to have more troops there. There is no need to invade the place when you’re already there.

He wants Greenland so that England doesn’t have a jumping-off point to protect Canada from invasion.

This is why he is telling Ukraine to give it up to Russia and hand over land as Trumps got plans of invasions of his own.

Who would win in a fight, 100k Trumps or the entire population of Greenland?

Sounds like it’s about time Greenland expelled US troops until the orange shit stain can rule out using military force.

It’s becoming impossible to produce a lampooning caricature of this man which isnt actually an acceptable and accurate portrayal of fact.

Attacking another NATO member isn’t usually a good idea. It’s literally a declaration of war and demands a military response from other NATO members against the attacker.

So when article 5 is triggered and the rest of NATO stands against the US, China and Russia laugh, and gain.
I am an American, and I do not want to downplay the asinine rhetoric this man spouts out, but I truly believe in all my fucking heart the military leaders would not listen to a command to attack a NATO ally. Maybe my faith in the system is unwarranted, but I truly believe this guy is just stupid and the military leaders have that same opinion.

I have been saying that the US will take Greenland. It’s just the sort of notch on his belt Trump values. And not much of a challenge. The sabre rattling is to scare people but also to let them know he told them up front. They could have prepared. It’s all useful for him. Trump often tells the truth about egregious things (like running for a third term). He somehow uses it to normalize the bizarre things he does.
Europe could have prepared to fight back (I’m afraid the 50K people in Greenland won’t be a match for the US military) but I doubt Europe will bestir itself to defend Greenland.
So, Greenlanders, you can look forward to being “cherished” <shudder>.

Screw the Americans who voted for this man, and screw the ones who didn’t that allowed him to run in the first place. They literally have laws to prevent an insurrectionist to run and they allowed this to happen. The whole US political system needs a big reset.
