- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
- Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.

Even his most coherent quotes contradict themselves, and he talks shit all day long. And the phrasing "Greenland deadline" is a little too evocative for my taste, but clickbait is a must these days.
yes, it's not like actually already invaded a country and kidnapped its leader... I mean, stop exaggerating please

He added: "We need Greenland from a national security situation. It's so strategic."
The US already has military bases on Greenland in accordance with diplomatic agreements. This isn't about national security or defense strategy. If it were, there would be diplomatic ways to increase US military presence. This risks losing the diplomatic agreements which allow the US to maintain a military presence there. It won't be very strategic if US forces get banished from the realm.
This isn't about national defense. It's about natural resources. Trump wants to exploit Greenland for its rare minerals the same way he wants to exploit Venezuela for its crude oil.
It's so transparent.

What deadline? Surrender or die?
Fuck the United States of America
From the quote, either two months or 20 days. The jist just being Trump is too busy to start another war now.
More likely it demonstrates that he doesn't understand time.
I can't wait to watch him actually do something against Greenland to try and take over it and watch as the rest of Europe pretty much does nothing.
Strongly worded emails are being considered.
Notice anything unusual?
- Nah.

Greenland is a goner, I'm afraid.
Even worse, with mounting aggression from East and West, and our own right-wing parties handing our enemies the continent on a silver platter, Greenland's fall is going to usher in a century of humiliation for Europe.
This. Europe will just watch and do nothing, as always

A "nato member" threatens invading another NATO member ......
Well Europe, we'd better gear up. Although I don't have much hope for us now our spineless 'leaders' don't even dare to call the Venezuela illegal (let alone an act of war)
I really dislike the narrative 'eu can't leave nato' / 'eu can't push back on the us because we need them. I'd really like to know:
- how true this is
- how much the people in control want to change this
- how long it will take to change this
The eu can't allow itself to be treated like this, but also can't allow itself to be forced into a passive stance of having to agree. The eu needs to be able to stand up to this bully (and all the others).
'eu canβt push back on the us because we need them
The question is: For what do we need them?
They certainly will not respect Article 5 of the NATO treaty. They do not respect the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Denmark. They will use any(!) leverage they have against us, no matter what we do. What do we get for playing nice? Nothing! If I look at Starmer, Merz, Kallas, ...., it looks like Chamberlain 2.0 and we know from experience that this will not work.
Maybe we buy some time but I do not see attempts to end the dependency. All I see is the hope that everything will be ok once Trump is gone. I doubt it.

It's people like these that stop humanity from ever evolving past meaningless wars and eternal petty garbage. Trump, Putin, Xi and others are the reason why humanity can't have good things.
Trump has forever tarnished the USA as a beacon of freedom and democracy. I'm hopeful the american people will see this eventually, but history contradicts that hope.

We need to stop allowing psychopaths and narcissists from getting any power whatsoever
We have a list of requirements if you want to become a fireman. If you want to become a lawyer, it's a protected job that not anyone can do, you must pass the bar and whatnot to be able to call yourself one
Want to become a politician and make the rules? Suddenly there are no rules nor requirements, any idiot is welcome. WTF?
If you were born with, say, a deformed hand, we don't let you become a fireman because you need your arms
If you're born without the ability to feel empathy for others, or literally can only care about yourself, or are incapable or stopping with lying, then apparently you're perfect for the type of job where you make rules for others and have to decide what happens to others. WTF?
Stop psychopaths and narcissists from becoming politicians, have a law against it

What deadline?
We'll worry about Greenland in about two months. Let's talk about Greenland in 20 days.
Is NOT a deadline, but a delusional person's ramblings. Two months is not 20 days, fyi.
Stupid clickbait article title. I have to downvote this.
Bro got attacked by his dementia mid-sentence.

I propose a kind of peaceful ring exchange - Greenland to the US, Alaska to Canada, California to Denmark and Texas to Mexico. Yellowstone goes to the Vatican so they can prevent an eruption with prayers. The British kingdoms then go to Ireland, with the exception of Scotland, which goes to Bavaria because of cultural similarities.
Have we forgotten anything? Oh yes. Russia goes to Ukraine. For reparations reasons alone.
Donβt forget that Hawaii should go to Iceland due to volcanic brotherhood (and to give the Icelandics an opportunity to get a tan). And NYC goes back to the Netherlands if theyβll take it (think how expensive it would be to add all the bike lanes).

The most sane suggestion in international geopolitics since a very long time!
β¦ with the exception of Scotland, which goes to Bavaria because of cultural similarities.
As a german, I think this is an insult to all scottish people.

If you want every country to get nukes, this is how you do it. Countries with nukes don't get invaded.

Let's talk about the Epstein files.
Hot take: even if they would get released uncensored and in full, nothing would happen.
We would just have confirmation on what we aready know.
At this point talking about the files is a distraction from the atrocities the US government commits and not the other way around.
Yeah. I've been saying it for some time that Trumps base was more worried about him possibly blowing Clinton than him fucking kids. Trump could make a press statement saying he fucked kids and he loves fucking kids and he wants to continue fucking kids and the only thing that would happen (apart from the fake outrage) is conservatives would normalize fucking kids.

He issued them a threat.
I'm concerned he thinks he's able to take Greenland as easy as he was able to kidnap Maduro.
Iβm concerned that anybody could think such spearheaded attacks could bring anything but chaos. I agree on Greenland, kidnapping a high value target with a flashy operation has nothing to do with conquest. Successful US dominance was based on diplomacy, imo Trump overrates military supremacy once deprived of diplomatic credibility.
I have thought for a long time that the chaos is the point. They're not trying to do something strategically smart. They are trying to diminish the credibility of the US. They are corruptly manipulating US markets with big crazy moves as a means of transferring wealth to their friends while also trying to weaken the US.
They started small to see what they could get away with and have been progressively getting more wild with the moves they make.

If its so strategic you could, Oh I don't know...cooperate with Greenland and Denmark? You know, like normal world leaders?
Or you know. Like the US has done before Trump. There are already US military bases and Iβm sure he could have built more and even extracted minerals for a fee. But nope it has to be his. Fuck everyone else, including the US by proxy.

Greenland get your shit together, you've probably got 10 days.
"let's talk about Russia, Ukraine, Venezuela, Colombia, Mexico, Canada. Also, where's my fucking Nobel Peace Prize!? I'm the president of peace! I think we're going to have to do something about Mr.Nobel as well."
.....
Denmark and the US are both in NATO, and NATO already has Greenland.
This is like Donald threatening Melania to steal her make up.
