This should be treated as the beginning of establishing a beachhead from which to usurp the sovereignty of Greenland. They should absolutely be removed, immediately. You also need to find out if you even can remove them and if not, rectify that immediately.

They should go and seize and impound the machines until the question of permission is resolved.

I can't imagine that a foreign power backing a private company to roll into Yellowstone and start drilling because they said they'd inherited the rights from a different private company they bought who had permission from years ago, would go down too well in the US?

The Greenland government’s statement said it “would not be proportionate” to demand the equipment be removed. An application for permission remained under processing, it added.

They don't seem to understand you give the current American administration an inch, they'll take a mile. It feels safe to say this is going to end in disaster, Greenland government just failed the test.

This is awful. Finland should sabatage it all. Put hydroflouric acid in the tankers before they ship. I'd pretend to be okay and do something brutal.

Yep. So many people are gonna die.

This is a classic Trump inspired rape move. Right now, the oil company has their hand on our hips. If we don't respond immediately, forcefully, and very clearly, then soon that hand will be moving down and we'll be grabbed by the pussy.
