Have they closed the US military base? Stripped the soldiers of weapons, kicked them off base, deported them? Sent in people to secure the base? These are high alert actions.
In “full crisis mode,” this should be the first step, and I hope it’s what Denmark & Greenland do.
As a Dane I am grateful that so many countries have expressed support for Greenland and Denmark in this situation.
Saying and acting are unfortunately a world apart. Let’s hope that expression manifests into something tangible if necessary. I feel like I’m living through my history lessons at the moment and I don’t like what happened next.
I think EU has demonstrated that we can act in concord when needed. We can’t beat USA militarily, but we can make it very expensive for USA if they invade Europe. Europe is already working on independence from USA both economically and militarily, if USA invades a European country, I guess we have no other option than to work with China instead of USA.
I have no idea how Trump see it as a good idea to get former allies to turn against USA. It is already happening to some degree, the alliance is very uneasy now, in a way that has never before been the case between Europe and USA after WW2, and the exact same with Canada and USA.
USA has no real allies left, only allies of convenience. And at some point USA will learn the difference. That point will probably be pretty instant if USA invades Greenland.We saw what Europe did to defend Venezuela
Europe has no interest in Venezuela, as I’ve mentioned before, nobody likes Maduro.
Why would Europe sacrifice anything to help Venezuela?
We have no alliance or obligation towards Venezuela.Europe is complicit in America’s crimes since Europe loans money to America. Europe is financing America’s crimes.
It’s not just “no interest” Europe is actively supporting America’s crimes. Also, Venezuela isn’t the first coup and it won’t be the last.
Europe is complicit in America’s crimes since Europe loans money to America.
What an absolute bullshit argument! By that standard China would be the most complicit, and China and USA don’t agree on foreign politics.
When you loan another country money, they have to grow that money so they can pay you interest. Stealing another country’s oil is a quick and easy way to make a lot of money which they can use to pay interest.
Yes, China is complicit. But China is also steadily selling all their US treasuries and buying gold with those dollars.
Remember we sanctioned Russia to weaken their economy? The same can be done with America as well.
It probably includes most Americans. I think even a lot of his voters don’t want this. He did run on being the candidate of peace and getting us out of wars. That was enough to fool enough people into voting for him.
Yes there are a lot of good Americans, unfortunately they are a minority. 🙁
I don’t think they are. I think the minority are running the show right now.
Would be pretty great if the majority could do something about it, then.
It sure would be. The problem is we have a republic, not a democracy. So even though a candidate runs on one thing, if they change their stance then we just have to live with it.
we just have to live with it.
George Washington rolling in his grave right now.
He’s part of the group that setup this republic because they wanted rich white men to run the country…
Technically true but irrelevant.
A majority of Americans do not give a shit about Danemark and would not lift their pinky to help one of their staunchest allies. That is true.
MAGA is a (large) minority. That is also true.
This is all enabled by a very sizeable chunk of Americans being literally mentally unable to conceptualize people outside their village as living, breathing, fully conscious people deserving of love and safety. They are colloquially known as “non-voters”.
Unfortunately you are obviously wrong.
Trump got the majority vote, Republicans have behaved like sociopaths for decades, and Trump even turned it up to a whole new level.
It was very obvious, and despite that he got the majority vote. That clearly shows the Majority of Americans accepted these sociopathic policies. There is no way around it, it was too obvious to claim afterwards that “this was not what we voted for”, because USA got EXACTLY what they voted for. And lame excuses like it’s only half the population that vote are frivolous. Because despite the clear danger, people did NOT turn up to vote against Trump.Everybody who didn’t vote but could have, accepted that Trump might win, and was OK with that.
If you didn’t vote, or voted Trump, you don’t get to whine about it afterwards. It’s not like he changed character after the vote.
Trump got the majority vote
Nope a decent plurality does not a majority make
I’m from the US and I’m disgusted and embarrassed with the place. I moved to Sweden recently and if it comes to it I’d sooner help protect your borders than go back to the US
Support means little to nothing.
I want to see actions with words, I need to see actions with words. So far, trump takes and people take a step back. Trump takes again and governments protest, but they step back.
Here too, trump takes a country, murders some innocent civilians and military, and then the Cheetos threatens Greenland, AND YOU GOT SUPPORT?
You ain’t got shit. Empty words, not even on paper but on some website.
What people and countries do when Greenland will be invaded, and it will be, will matter. This, so far, hasn’t been shit and I suspect that once Greenland gets invaded and stolen, god knows what will happen to it’s inhabitants, nobody will do anything more than weakly protest
They be moooonitoring
it’s there anything in NATO about what they will do if a NATO nation invaded another NATO nation?
I don’t know what the arguments against this idea would be, but seems to me like the first thing Denmark needs to do, probably with the help of some allies, is expel the US from Greenland, take over the US military base there and strongly fortify it. Then the US can’t use it for the invasion. I’m sure their plans heavily depend on having and using that base. Don’t say anything beforehand, just show up with enough force that the existing US contingent there can’t win if they fight back, present the eviction notice, and get them moving out before US can send reinforcements.
If the US takes Greenland, I fear that NATO will be effectively dissolved. Denmark probably invokes Article 5… does anyone come to their aid against the US? Seems unlikely. If they do, let’s be real here, the US will just acquire new colonies. Either way, NATO means next to nothing; total Russian victory. Russia gets to sabotage/colonize western and then eastern Europe, and China gets Taiwan (if they feel like calling the US’s bluff) and whatever else they want. The only truly sovereign countries left will be the ones with a hefty nuclear arsenal.
If the US takes Greenland and NATO doesn’t respond Canada is next.
Appeasing to a bully never works. Until you evict the US base out of Greenland, you are not in crisis mode. Europeans are tired of inaction.
denmark can rebuke with, we will report more on the epstein files you clearly are trying to distract from. its what one of the south american countries currently threatened are doing.
-people are being abused and murdered by another state
-no one gives a shit because they didn’t sign the right pieces of paper 40 years ago.
What the fuck is wrong with the world man. Oppression everywhere needs to be met with EXTREME VIOLENCE.
You want to abuse people, you need to be removed from the planet by something very fast moving. Doesn’t matter if that is a head of state or a military. Oppression needs to be met with overwhelming retaliatory force.
And this is the point
Yrumpmis Putin’s little bitch, Putin wants to dissolve NATO. If the US takes Greenland, it’ll be the end of NATO, and
the USPutin will control Greenland and with that, the ArcticAnd still nobody moves
And still nobody moves
Because Trump is not Putin’s little bitch.
The EU is Trump’s bitch after being at war with Russia. Trump is financed by US billionaires first, not Putin.
But in the meantime, it is imperative that no Eurasian challenger emerges, capable of dominating Eurasia and thus also of challenging America.
Danes, Canada will not abandon you.
