Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Firstly, Greenland is part of Denmark, not Norway. Not the same thing.

Secondly, I might be wrong but I don't think the Norwegian government gives the Nobel prizes, an organization based in Norway does

Thirdly, how deranged does someone have to be to threaten war over not getting a peace prize?

Correct. The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded by The Norwegian Nobel Commitee, not the government. The committee consists of members appointed by the Norwegian Parliament – again, not the goverment. The commitee thus a private body, and the government has absolutely no say in their selection of the recipient.

Just shows how fundamentally ingrained it is in Trump's head that he thinks he's King and can dictate what everyone in his country does. He does not understand that any government doesn't have that power.

He's terrorizing Minnesota because the population votes for the opposing party. The madness with the Orange knows no bounds.

They think this will lead to MAGA taking overinmesota, they are delusional. This will only make it worse for them.

gestures broadly this deranged. It's all excuses. Dictators don't need reasons they just act.
