    The Greenland thing also started as a “joke”, and escalated into potential invasion. The Canada as “51st State” thing also were presented as a joke last year, then the annexation threat started.

    These ain’t no jokes. They’re testing the water.

    Just a joke -> Just an idea -> Just a discussion -> Just viewing potential options -> Just gonna take it

    Things like this stopped being jokes months ago. By now it’s a thinly veiled threat.

    Yeah, revoke their credentials and demand a new ambassador.

    lol, if mofo jumps into the ocean he’d instantly dwarf greenland by land mass.

    You know what would be a joke. Dumping all the garbage in front of the US embassy in Iceland.

    I am starting to notice a pattern here…. is Ireland the 53rd state by any chance?

    Can we make a list what the USA wants to add as theirs: Cuba, Canada, Greenland, Iceland,… did I miss something?

  8. comments like that should automatically disqualify him as an ambassador

    Maybe start by sending a signal and refuse entry into the country.

    diplomats “joking” about invading other nations is akin to making a bomb joke in the security line at the airport. you should be immediately rectally searched.

    I was offended by it the moment I heard it, and I’m not Icelandic. It is like joking about anything that is deadly serious to the people whose hospitality you are taking. It’s like joking about a car crash at the funeral of a car crash victim. Or making a sexist joke at a meeting of feminists. You know not to make these jokes if you are a paid.diplomat.

    It’s just that america is sending shit people to represent it, because America has become a shit country.

    Every member of Trump’s administration wakes up each morning and wonders, How can I be the biggest possible asswipe today?

    Iceland actually has a history of being invaded by the US too. Occupied by America and Britain during world war 2.

    He really knows how to make a first impression on the new country he is going to live in…

    As an American, I would never wish Americanization on anyone in Europe. Fuck our country.

    The EU seriously needs to put some heavy sanctions on the US. Send all their diplomats home, send a message.

    Canadian here, we get it. Elbows Up Greenland! <3 <3 <3

    I’m not one bit surprised. Given the Trump administration’s behaviour that’s neither funny nor a joke. It’s a very thinly veiled threat and an obnoxious and crude attempt to project power.

    Every complete idiot in the United States who thinks it’s acceptable to make jokes about the annexation of regions or countries in Europe should immediately be banned from entering the respective country and the EU. Let’s start with this idiot and expell him!

    I swear, reading these headlines reminds me of my playthroughs on CIV 

  21. Suspicious-Spot1651 on

    Ask all their ambassadors in Europe to go back to their country and check if we are here.

    And of course he’s another Porky Pig rich dipshit.

    I have been actually thinking about this this month when Trump renewed his desires to annex Greenland. If Greenland becomes part of the US, it has me worried they will go after Iceland next or threaten its security including Europe since Iceland is close to Greenland.

    I also fear the US would also try to annex the UK and Ireland next after Greenland.
