Does trump owe money to Greenland?

[-] rayyy@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago

Nothing discovered in Greenland, but stay tuned. He most likely owes some money in Panama though.

[-] hopesdead@startrek.website 14 points 16 hours ago

the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity.

No it doesn’t. Please don’t put words into our mouth bro. He can’t even wait till January 20 to fuck things up.

Shouldn't mr trump be clearing this with President Musk before running his mouth?

Trump's going to get himself removed from the cabinet if he keeps up this maverick bullshit.

This is a lot more reckless than I was expecting, and I didn't have high hopes. Denmark is a NATO ally. If the USA is challenging its territorial integrity like this, the ability of that alliance to act as a deterrent is going to be seriously compromised. That's bad for reasons bigger than Greenland.

Trump is doing more damage to the security of the USA and its allies than he would have if he merely sank a couple of aircraft carriers, and most voters aren't even going to be aware of that.

A fascist demagogue making unreasonable territorial demands of sovereign lands? totally unprecedented, surely a surprise to all.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. 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.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. 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.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

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.

That's all the rules!
