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.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

And here I thought we only applied manifest destiny to Brown people.
No, between Trump's made-up fentanyl pouring in to the US from Canada and Tucker Carlson's rhetoric about invading to save the Canadian people from their own leaders (https://piefed.ca/c/canada/p/409210/tucker-carlsons-canada-invasion-rhetoric-and-the-maga-fracture) there's good reason to believe they'll invade in the near future. They've spoken before about the need to secure the continent.
It's so ridiculous when they can't even effectively govern the fucking country they already have.
Imperialism is often seen as a compelling solution to the absolute failure of tyrants to govern domestically.
They're not trying to effectively govern. It has been a long time since that was any concern of the Republican Party. Their government is about using force to steal whatever you can get, and enjoying cruelty towards those who can't fight back.
They call it "small government," and the media refuses to call bullshit.
I hope there's a draft. I hope the inbred , homeschooled idiots who voted for him cry when their sons and grandsons are hauled off to Basic.
Well it's obvious US, Russian and China collude to take control of other parts of the world.
US take the American continent, Russia the European and China the Asian...
The African continent is actively scouted by China and Russia right now too... Remain Australia... well... who want Australia?
It's why Trump won't push too much regarding Putin, he wants to do the same and remain in power for life.
It's supposed to 75° here on Christmas. I wonder if that trend has anything to do with it?
Be hard to do with such terrible support of the US people.

Smoke and mirrors. Where are the rest of the unredacted Trump-Epstein files?
Came here to say this ☝🏻
All of this becuase the US wont put pedophiles, crooks, and theives in jail because they are rich.
Truly pathetic.
Now release ALL of the Trump-Epstein files! 🙄
I vote we start calling the files this and only this. He’s had two chances to release them and has talked about pardoning the conspirator. He also loves putting his name on things 🤷♂️
I bet they're gone already, redacted, shreded, destroyed. Why would they keep them if they can just destroy them
My last bastion of hope is that some Snowden-like individual has the originals somewhere.
How I still retain the ability to hope at this point is the real mystery.
If at some point the US will care abou laws and constitution again, the published evidence will be enough to put all those pedos into megajail forever. As it stands, nothing will. They could publish a livefeed of Trump raping and eating children, and nothing will happen to him, and he wouldn't lose a single supporter over it. Honestly, I don't know why do they even bother with all this
You're not wrong. And every disgusting action taken, both foreign and domestic, is an effort to ensure that IF never sees the light of day.

Yes, hurry up and release them so we can get on with imposing no consequences whatsoever for his crimes
Touché
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
Greenland can’t really shoot anything down because they have no military of their own.

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.

I love speed rushing world war 3
Greenland should persona non grata him and deport his arse to el salvador. Landry even dresses like a clown. All he is missing is the clown horn.
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.
Yes indeed it is one way to distract from the Epstein files.
Monkeys don't really care where they throw the shit because just throwing it is the best and easiest part.
Title is misleading. Greenland is a country.
Closest I could say is “Greenland is to Denmark as Puerto Rico is to the US”
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.

You go to Glasgow and try telling them they aren’t a country…
"It's Sassenachs-occupied Alba, ya cunt! Awaa wi' ya or I'll pit ma heid to ya!"
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...

Trump is a terrorist
Sounds like a piece of shit
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.
Because the American government let's him do whatever the fuck he wants, he assumes other countries will too
Have him take a walk around Greenland. I'm sure that it will be necessary so that he can evaluate it for US occupation.
My fellow Arctic peeps: ikykwim.
persona non grata. Oprah style. all around.
Yeah, good luck.. idiots.
