Kinda incredible how quickly he pivoted from, “We’re gonna stop spending billions on all these wars,” to, “Fuck it, I feel like invading Greenland.”
I can’t wait for the “Donald Trump hiding place” memes.
I’m still convinced he only wants Greenland because it looks big on a map.
Somebody’s feeding him grandiose ideas about global warming and northern sea routes. Probably some flattering lies about splitting said routes between them and dominating world trade too, once Canada and the EU are out of the way.
Damn you web mercator projection! If only Robinson projection was the default on google/apple/whatever trump uses -map.
To be fair even on a globe Greenland is still massive. Just not quite as bad on Mercator.
It is also mostly ice. The entirety of the central Greenland is covered by 1.6km to 3.7km thick ice.
Settlements are around the coast, as Greenland has about 100km roads in total, no railroads and no inland water.
Touché.
Its going to be a small invasion using that though.
If they bring their own small train, that one fjord is done for.
Just casually threatening war with NATO. From Mr “yOuR ThReAtEnInG wOrLd WaR 3” less than a week ago
It’s not war when Trump does it. It’s liberation.
That same liberation under a Democrat would have them begging the Hague to arrest the sitting president.
Or USSR when they “liberated” Poland!
Trump is making it unsafe for Americans to travel across the globe. Seriously if he keeps making these hostile statements some person with mental health issues will snap and attack American tourists in Denmark.
Prepare for a lot of fake Canadians.
Easy test, make fun of the usa in front of them. Any Canadian worth their salt will join in (more so now a days), but most americans can not seem to do so without mentioning weird colours and parties.
Looks like Denmark needs nukes.
Let’s take that hot air argument off the table.
Escalating into nuclear conflict is a total loss scenario. The first one pressing a button would trigger a chain reaction that would render the planet an irradiated rock. Nobody gains anything.
Nuclear armament is the last hidding place for fragile egos and we would be very fortunate if after this insanity streak there was a complete nuclear global disarmament.
Nuclear weapons are not meant for a nuclear conflict really, they’re used as a deterrent, and it works. Look how the world is scared shitless of helping Ukraine directly despite Russian army not being too strong - but Russia has nukes.
Edit: Also see noone wanting a conflict with North Korea.
Let us wait and see for how much longer that remains. Russia is resorting to mercenaries (don’t really know what else to call the north korean in the scenario). At some point, either Ukraine pushes back with enough force to end the conflict or other countries will start sending troops there, even if for nothing else besides urban security to relive more national troops to the front lines.
Yeah, I’m expecting the US to start sending troops at some point - but not to help Ukraine.
Also. Somehow, I have this feeling Europe is on the way to dust off the guns, after nearly - what? - 70 years. Hopefully, I’m wrong. I sincerely want to be.
I actually really hope Europe, or at least some parts of it, will have the balls to protect themselves when the shit hits the fan. The idea of capitulation in the name of peace is becoming uncomfortably popular.
We tried that before with hitler
