US - Greenland Crisis Thread

[Tamas]

Trump just said:

We won't get anything unless I use excessive strength and force, when we would be unstoppable.

I won't use force.

And I noticed the stock markets jumped bigly on this.

Some inside-trading billions being made

I would like to find out this was just another clever insider-trading bit.

I assume, like most bullies, once he saw some actual pushback he got spooked. Don't get to comfortable though, as long as the Epstein files are out there Greenland is always in play.

The EU cannot rest with both Russia and the US ready to seize it's territory at any moment.

The EU needs to make sure Ukraine wins and Trump keeps chickening out. It's future depends on it.

So in his speech Trump kept confusing Iceland and Greenland.

That's cool.

Yeah, in case you were wondering what's next if he gets Greenland.

[Richard Hakluyt]

Immediate negotiations on the future of Greenland. We will get our best man on it President Trump; minion....send for Sir Humphrey Appleby!!

[crazy canuck]

Why take the risk?

I was being sarcastic. There is no way I'd risk going there.

The sad part is you could have said it in all seriousness

Appetites grow in the eating.

What Trump means is that he won't use force right that second he said it. Maybe because somebody in the administration told him the Allies have reinforced Greenland to the point that it's no longer a quick Friday sugar rush operation. Otherwise this was an awful speech, simultaneously both whiny and thuggish and with his mental decline on full display.

He can't get it through his thick skull, I doubt you could find 10 Greenlanders right now who'd want to join the US. Threatening to kill you does have that effect. It's also akin to demanding the UK sell him Australia, his brain is mush.

I think his dementia is accelerating; of course the replacement is Vance, so it's not great regardless.

Yes, Vance is not good enough for the MAGA crowd.

Vance is even more of a coward than Trump, with the added trait of being a lick boot. That can be good or bad. He can either he's cowed by the GOP (goodish), or trumps current minders (bad). Again assuming the GOP isn't totally corrupted. Which isn't guaranteed either.
