A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
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.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.

Translation: Denying interest in this tells me that this has everything to do with Russia.
Prior to Russian puppet "Trump" talking about taking over Greenland, I had not ever heard of a US interest in having more control over that area. The US already has a military base with a naval port there. Unless the plan is to break a bunch of treaties and destabilize Europe, there would be no need for the US to annex Greenland.
Isn't it about time for Putin to fall out of a window?

Unfortunately, this particular move has a larger historical context. To be clear, I am not pleased to have learned of this. It belongs in the compost pile of history.
But that is the thing. Trump is the ONLY president in the last 70 years to publicly express an interest in this. Considering Trump's apparent loyalty and dedication to Putin, I have to assume that this is entirely Putin's idea. Trump is too stupid to come up with this plan on his own and acquiring Greenland only makes sense if the end game is to cut ties with Europe and strengthen ties with Russia. Otherwise, it's more beneficial to the US to let Denmark be responsible for governing there.
Fuck Trump and Fuck Putin! They are both a cancer on the world and we will all be better off when they are both gone.
So say we all
Sharing is caring, or what? You get Greenland, Mexico, and Canada, and I get Europe?
