Trump reiterates US need to 'have' Greenland ahead of Vance visit
US President Donald Trump ramped up his claims to Greenland on Wednesday, saying ahead of a visit by Vice President JD Vance that the United States needed to take control of the Danish island for "international security."
It is not a Danish island. It's a country that is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, just like Denmark and the Faroe Islands. A Danish island would be an island in Denmark, like Funen, Ærø, or Bornholm.
Taking Greenland is a kin to taking Scotland from the UK, or Maine from the US of A. They're autonomous, and trying to buy a country from us really brings up some colonial feelings, that we would much rather be done with.
Who is telling Trump we need Greenland? This isn't shit he's coming up with himself.
The person lurking that signal group need to spill it.
This isn’t the first time the US has felt it ‘needed’ others’ lands.
Americans, now's your chance to stop really bad things from happening. Stop this literal lunatic
America is a much greater danger to us than Russia ever will be.
I implore you, do not take your eye off the man with the knife just because a drunken fool with guns at home has entered the room.
All eyes are on Russia, the far larger American threat - not passively, in them not helping, but actively in them opposing us - doesn’t nearly get the attention it deserves.
Russia, with a GDP the size of the Benelux, hasn’t even been able to conquer Ukraine, and I have to believe they’d be able to take on the European Union?
Meanwhile, the US, the world’s largest economy, has military bases all over the EU, the EU militaries by and large depend on the US and they are openly threatening us.
Which is more dangerous?
I love your optimism. The fascism and and reorganization of world power will just go away. That seems about as likely as a literal alien invasion happening within the next week. (And I mean extraterrestrial)
rarely aggressive
how charming
It just makes me sick to my stomach when I see their names in the news. I have the same feeling like when you are around creepy persons that have a pedo or sexual agressor vibe to them. I wish they could just stay in their countries and be banned from Europe. But is is not how toxic people function, they do not stay in their lane.
That's an empathic person's response to psychopaths
47th oblast needs to be bigger!
"Mr Trump, are you planning on belligerently invading another NATO country today?"
I think that airbase needs to go.
Nobody in America supports this, other than a few fringe lunatics in the orange hitler cult. Trump is psycho and obviously working for Putin. This really just looks like he's being puppeted off a cliff.
How are both of them not Persona Non Grata yet?
The US can't have shit
I predict something will happen to Vance on this trip, giving Trump the excuse to go in to Greenland
He will get booed, which is his job apparently
"Remember JD Vance! To hell with France!"

(We know that Greenland is not French; the morons they'd sell the invasion to don't.)
If he is really concerned with security he should fire Waltz as proof
There is this novel concept - being allies. Current US government should look into it.
Talk to MAGA folks. They don't think we need allies or trading partners. They think the USA is big and strong enough to not only stand alone, but stand against the entire planet.
It's hard to get across how ignorant these people are. Their information comes 100% from Fox News, Facebook, friends, family and like minded people in their echo chamber.
I live in Florida. During hurricanes we literally live and die by NOAA. And day to day, we work and plan our lives around the National Weather Service (a subset of NOAA). Posted on NextDoor.com about the administration slashing NOAA and "have fun paying for private weather service, you voted for it". (Perhaps less snarky than comes across here.)
You would be astonished, at least I was, by the outpouring of gall and hate I received. I won't try to relate it all, but even faced with personal consequences, the answer was, "Fuck all that and fuck you! Good job Trump!" That was the most "popular" post of the week. Oh my, the replies would not die off. Imagine hating on the government weather service!
Best responses were a tie:
One lady proud to pay for her AccuWeather subscription. "Where do you think AccuWeather gets their data?" "I'm not arguing with people like you!" LOL, wanted to add, "Not arguing with someone that pays for free weather data."
One guy went off about vets, in reply to no one but the post, for some reason I can't begin to ascertain. Wish I could inject what I know about Trump and vets straight into his brain, leave him a twitching mess of cognitive dissonance.
Maybe cognitive dissonance is what I triggered? Just thought of that and I may be onto something.
(I use Weawow BTW. Weather is very important to me and they got it going on. Even has sun and moon info. You can choose your weather provider (I use NWS) but you can choose from 6 others. Norway even! Only data I wish they added was tidal, lol, and a compass would be nice. Free app of course, but I'd be glad to pay a one-time fee.)
International security of his fragile ego
Firehose of bullshit.
And international security of companies who pretty much want to profit from thawing greenland ice.
