These Danish are entirely unreasonable; here we are offering to share 50/50; they get to keep Denmark and we take Greenland, and they still want it all! We are trying to be reasonable but they're resorting to radicalism!

The first pilgrims to the US were the vikings, who also settled Greenland, so obviously this makes Americans the true owners of that land.

Euro liberals getting the "you're overreacting" treatment

It's probably the funniest thing that's come out of this so far.

I wouldn't bet a penny on it, did you see the Macron text? "I thought we were in the white club Mr. Trump????? Can't we just go back to killing brown people together??? What happened to the good old days???"

They've been working on that for centuries

I initially read this as "USA will make the glacier boom" and unfortunately it's not even that unrealistic

Richard Wolff thinks this is the US recognizing that it has more to gain from tearing up its alliances and taking what it wants from them than remaining allied with them. I was already leaning towards yes, he's gonna do it because he knows Europe can't/won't do shit to stop it, so this just convinced me further.

Edit: This also entirely aligns with how he is wielding ICE, now that I think about it. He really is going all-in on "might is right."

They seem quite intent on taking Greenland, as it's part of the empire's foreign policy strategy of dominating the Western Hemisphere and its resources in order to compete with China. This is all part of their new Monroe Doctrine 2.0, which they call the "Donroe Doctrine". They published this last year.

I think military action in Greenland is definitely a possibility in the event that the EU ends up refusing to negotiate. While Trump has refused to rule out using the military when asked about it, my guess is that they're hoping the EU will fold and make a deal to hand over the island before the tarrifs reach their maximum effect. Thess tariffs start at 10% in February, and then goes up to 25% in June, unless the US gets what it wants. It's a pressure tactic to let Europe stew in their own juices for a while.

The ghouls in charge of EU foreign policy are rabid pro-US bootlickers who have no problem selling their own lungs to the US if it means saving the transatlantic relationship. The US regime knows this, so I imagine they're banking on this happening. If it doesn't, they always have their backup plan of just taking it by force. It's not like the EU can do much to stop them anyway.

But it will be interesting to see what the EU will do, because this will potentially have a huge effect on the future of both NATO and the EU. Making a deal with the US would not go over well with most Europeans, and member states aren't united on a response either. Depending on the outcome of this, it could do a lot of damage to the EU, and widen fractures that are already brewing in the background. Like France and Germany who don't see eye to eye on the EU's foreign policy, and see each other as a threat when it comes to being the dominant European power.

The Trump regime has also pretty much made it clear that they despise the EU now that they no longer need it, and actively promote fascist euroskeptic political parties in Europe that they probably hope to do business with after the EU collapses.

I just like the idea of the US having a land border with the EU. Im not sure what I would do with that info but its funny to me.

Greenland should be allowed to nuke Denmark and the US
