    His ambassador to Canada wants to make us the 51st state too. And with congress just passing a spending bill that will give the military over 1 trillion dollars it looks like the US is about to start annexing North America.

    By stating his hostile intentions so clearly it makes denying him entry perfectly justified.

    Can all countries simply refuse his entry. Refuse to talk to him. Make no meeting, attend no conferences etc. If the US makes a stink by saying he’s a diplomat, too bad. Countries have that right.

      YES!!

      The sovereign nation of Greenland can at any time declare their airspace to be GREENLAND ONLY AND FRIENDLY and shoot down any invading aircraft, or lock on enough weapons to make the pilot realize its u turn or eject.

      PLEASE THREATEN AIR FORCE ONE IT IS CARRYING TRAITORS

          You’re right and that’s a perfect example of what leaning too much on the US does for global defense when we elect a clown to direct the circus. I’d bet a couple CF-18’s might be nearby…bold move but they fuckin burned the house down before I say go for it

        Then, for the love of fairy godmothers, do it. Trump has been doing whatever the fuck he wants with no consequences. if the Untied States won’t draw a line, other countries need to. I don’t want to hear about what can be done, I want it done

          Agreed. The assertion of imagined power often becomes real power. Not pushing back on fake power is actually ceding the outcome.

      Basically, that’s how they treated Vance when he came to throw his weight around. They totally ignored him until his posse got bored and went home.

      Nope…

      But Greenland is currently a semi-autonomous part of Denmark, which is unhappy about Trump’s latest move.

      It’s not a country.

        Greenland is one of three countries in the Kingdom of Denmark, the other two countries are the Faeroese Islands and Denmark. We each have our own paliarments and institutions. But we share our Monarch, some government functions like defense and foreign policy, and our currency. Kinda like how Scotland uses the British pound and bitches about having to leave the EU.

          Also similarly to how Catalonia and the Basque Country are semi-autonomous regions of Spain. Except I don’t think Denmark imprisons elected officials who promote separatism.

            I bet we used to, before Greenland and the Faeroese Islands got their home-rule. I mean we used to be some right assholes, especially in Greenland.

          You go to Glasgow

          The only real way to identify a problem, is get boots on the ground 2.5k km always, with a giant ocean for most of that space.

          Want to be able to get the whole picture you see, the entire Eastern facing shore, then we’ll so what’s a vountry…

    Either this mf has the delusional cojones of a Bond villain right before he dies in an explosion

    Or, they know this will fail and are ramping the rhetoric to ensure this will distract as much as possible from whatever they need.

    Trump will do anything to avoid the epstein proof of his degeneracy, but he’s all out of time. Don’t worry Greenland, he will very soon be a piece of bad history.

    Have him take a walk around Greenland. I’m sure that it will be necessary so that he can evaluate it for US occupation.
