    I think Greenland should send law enforcement and have them demonstrate as much restraint and accountability as ICE agents do.

      The fact the entirety of both EU and Nato (obviously not the US) isn’t sending a small military force is probably the biggest mistake they’ve ever made. They better be prepared, because this will keep escalating, the US will keep ramping up the piracy and invasions. Band together, stop following us down the authoritian hole, unite for all your sakes.

        Arctic Sentry is a NATO mission on Greenland that has been ongoing since early this year with quite a few European members sending troups this summer. The response to Trump is small for now, but it’s not like there’s no military response at all.

        Europe is, at least mostly, a group of American vassal states. And I live in Airstrip One, I’m not just “hating”. 🙃

      [Hitler took the Rhineland which wasn’t his. Putin took Crimea which wasn’t his](Renee Nicole Good and Alex Jeffrey Pretti ) . They were emboldened by the lack of equal force. Dear orange leader allowed his ICE goons to kill Renee Nicole Good and Alex Jeffrey Pretti and there was no push-back so he upped his game. It only stops when there is equal or greater force used.

        On the other hand, Trump needs a reason to cancel the mid terms. A war with Greenland and/or the EU would make perfect cover for that. I don’t think there is a winning move here, unfortunately.

          He’s not cancelling the fucking mid terms knock that shit off. We had a civil fucking war and never did it. Quit acting like it would be assumed if you do anything against him. You’re giving yourself an excuse to be lazy.

            He’s going to try. The question is if the citizens are going to continue to roll over when he does.

    Shut this down, Greenland. Allowing it is making a huge, massive statement that the US can do whatever it wants with your country.

    This is invasion ffs. Appeasing the mad King will only make him demand more, as has happened with every powerful narcissist in history. Letting him drill only opens the door for him to start mines for rare earth, and he will, of that I can assure you.

    I don’t get this part

    Nuuk concluded that ordering the containers removed “would not be proportionate,” leaving the government to choose between licensing drilling in an area that may fall under wetlands protection or refusing and risking handing Trump an opening to press his claim harder.

    Why would it not be proportionate, given that they lied about having a license?

      It’s like Karoline Leavitt saying she quits her job because she ‘wants to spend more time with her family’. Everyone knows it’s a bullshit reason, but it’s just plausible enough to keep anyone from actually calling bullshit. I take it they just don’t want to kick the hornet’s nest.

    Time to send in the police, confiscate the equipment, and take the workers away for questioning.

    It’s a GOOD thing Greenland is doing NOTHING to Stop this! As we’ve learned TIME and TIME Again the BEST way to Combat Trump is by doing NOTHING at all so he Learns his Lesson!
