The prime ministers of Denmark and Greenland have demanded respect for their borders after Donald Trump appointed a special envoy to the largely self-governing Danish territory, which he has said repeatedly should be under US control.

“We have said it very clearly before. Now we say it again. National borders and the sovereignty of states are rooted in international law … You cannot annex other countries,” Mette Frederiksen and Jens-Frederik Nielsen said in a joint statement.

The two leaders added that “fundamental principles” were at stake. “Greenland belongs to the Greenlanders, and the US should not take over Greenland,” they said. “We expect respect for our common territorial integrity.”

You Cannot Annex Other Countries

They said to Hitler in 1939 right before he took Poland.

Yeah, Trump is watching his buddy Putin in Ukraine, and thinking he could do the same to Greenland.

Don't forget Venezuela

He could throw away a million soldiers and get bogged down in bitter attritional warfare? Oh boy!

Every country is one false flag/accusation away from being invaded.

Trump is a simple thief and should be charged and jailed as such.

[–] Bullerfar@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago (2 children)

He is killing the country, that is for sure. The funny part is, that both EU and USA only thrives if both economies in a peace time is doing well. Non of us benefits from the crazy shit show trump is doing.

[–] N0t_5ure@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

You are 100% right. Trump's actions not only harm Europe and the rest of the world, he's harming the U.S. even more, and his actions will directly lead to economic collapse of the U.S., a worldwide depression, and WWIII. Unfortunately, Trump and his supporters currently have a lock not only on all 3 branches of government, but also are developing a stranglehold on traditional media and social media via oligarchs looking to expand their control by allying with Trump's fascist regime. Sadly, it seems like far too few in the U.S. understand the alarming changes being made and the grave risks. The U.S. is fast becoming a rogue state, and possesses the most powerful military the world has seen so far. We certainly are living in interesting times.

I can see this potentially helping the EU long term though. Maybe I'm just hoping out loud...

[–] logicbomb@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I disagree. A simple thief would be doing a short stint in a local jail, not prison, and they'd be allowed around other inmates.

Trump should be in prison. He should be serving a sentence that will span the rest of his life. And he should be in solitary confinement for his own protection, due to the very serious possibility of his being killed in prison. As well as permanent suicide watch, to make sure he carries out as much of his sentence as possible.

I'm honestly and depressingly pretty convinced at this point thar I'm going to die defending Canada from Americans

[–] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 7 points 23 hours ago

Agreed. Elbows up friend.

[–] andrewta@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nope can’t annex another country.

Russia enters the chat: hold my beer

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

You are left holding the beer after the Russian who passed it to you is immediately blown up by a Ukrainian FPV quadcopter.

You take a sip of your free beer.
