We'll go as far as we have to to get control of Greenland

[bif]

SNIP
President Donald Trump said the U.S. will "go as far as we have to go" to get control of Greenland, ahead of a planned visit to the Arctic island by Vice President JD Vance that has prompted criticism from Greenland and Denmark.

Vance, second lady Usha Vance and Energy Secretary Chris Wright will lead the U.S. delegation to visit the Pituffik military space base in the northwest of the island, having scaled back plans for a broader and longer visit. The American group was originally planning to visit the Greenlandic capital, Nuuk, and a dog sled race.

How about to the frikken looney bin?

[Walleye]

1. What??!!

[Lovie777]

2. I guess shithole musk republicans are prepared to injure and kill allies now................

[wryter2000]

3. So, are we going to invade Greenland?

Because they have no intention to surrender.

7. Trump thinks he'll call Denmark and say "A carrier fleet and 20K troops are enroute to the island

and you better have your people out of the government buildings when we arrive, or we will remove them, hopefully peacefully", and Denmark will proceed to do just that. I'd love it if someone would convince me either a) no way he ever does that, or b) he's absolutely wrong in thinking that will work.

[wryter2000]

14. I go for b

Won’t work. He’s going to invade a NATO country?

[AZJonnie]

16. I said I wish someone would convince me it can't happen

I'm well aware of the fact that it would involve invading a NATO country. I'm not, at this moment, convinced anyone will do jack to prevent it from happening if he decides to do so. If Denmark is told to clear out because the fleet is on the way and the US will soon be occupying the government buildings, what happens then? Who's going to start shooting back, to try to stop the USA from doing just that? I fear Denmark would just pull it's people out to keep them safe, and that will be that

[Think. Again.]

4. At what point is that a direct threat of a planned invasion?

[AZJonnie]

5. But wait, there's more

"We need Greenland for national security and international security," Trump said, taking reporters' questions in the Oval Office.

"So we'll, I think, we'll go as far as we have to go," he continued. "We need Greenland. And the world needs us to have Greenland, including Denmark. Denmark has to have us have Greenland. And, you know, we'll see what happens. But if we don't have Greenland, we can't have great international security."

Trump added, "I view it from a security standpoint, we have to be there."

So, it's for 'security', in case you missed it

[Bayard]

8. Wonder why security there is suddenly a problem on his watch?

[Arazi]

6. He's 100% serious

Nobody should be dismissing these threats as a bluff or a distraction or a belief that he’s nuts.

[bif]

10. He's 100% out of his fucking mind!

We got along for 250 years just fine without Greenland. Someone needs to put this asshole in the looney bin, where he belongs.

[Mysterian]

9. So, we're going to war with NATO

Urge all your MAGA acquaintances to join the infantry. Should be a fun time against the well-trained Scandanavian armies in arctic conditions.

[LeftinOH]

11. Somehow we made it through the entire Cold War era without directly

controlling Greenland. but *now* we need it for "security?" Make it make sense..

[Zackzzzz]

12. Magic 8 Ball Says

Everything Points To Putin

[tanyev]

13. It's a long way to Ittoqqortoormiit, it's a long way to go...

[Emile]

15. I worry about our democratic republic. Will it

survive this madness?

[EndlessWire]

17. He's testing NATO for Putin.

Either that or, when NATO does respond, and it will, they will be preoccupied here in North America and Putin can launch an offensive against, let's say, Poland. Or, one of the Baltic States.

In any event, it is ridiculous, distracting, and cruel to Greenland. And rumpy likes to pick on weaker countries, so it's apparent that he thinks Greenland will be mowed down like a snowbunny. Remember Ukraine? They were supposed to fold in 3 days, and now it's 3 years. They taught the world about grit and determination.

I'm embarrassed by the orange bozo. I hate like hell to be against my own country, but there's nothing about this rhetoric that has merit or morality.

[spanone]

18. If Biden had talked shit like this they would have crucified him.

TRMP IS STRAIGHT OUT FUCKING CRAZY
