Just saw an upsetting report on MSNBC from Greenland

[PlanetBev]

The reporter asked a lady who is a member of the parliament there about Trump’s desire to acquire her country. The member said “Please don’t take us. We can come to an agreement the will be mutual beneficial to both our countries.”

That depressed the hell out of me. No way in hell should Greenland even consider making any deals with Trump, let along talk to that lunatic. 🥶

1. Nope.........

[senseandsensibility]

2. Wow. I thought she was a random citizen

I chalked her response up to being kind of naive, but for an elected rep to talk that way?

[Bev54]

20. I think it was the Danish Member of parliament that stood up

At the European Union and told Trump very clearly, and in English, to Fuck Off. That is the real feeling over there.

[Mossfern]

3. I think she's just

keeping her powder dry. It was a wise response to the question.

[Deuxcents]

6. I agree. Nothing positive comes with aggressive comments this early. She's being diplomatic

Something TSF knows nothing about..he may even consider it a weakness but he’d be wrong

[Irish_Dem]

4. Yes it was a very sad, disappointing response from a Greenland official.

Looks like Greenland is going to roll over and kiss ass like everyone else.

[DENVERPOPS]

24. Maybe she was just

imitating what has been going on here in the US........And being mentored by "some" particular group in the U.S.

[sop]

5. MSNBC is trying to normalize the taking of Greenland by presenting such views.

[Hekate]

11. Should they not ask?

[sop]

13. Maybe ask one of the 85% of Greenlanders who do not want to become part of the U.S.

[stillcool]

17. good point. Wonder how long it took

at least here, if they're looking for a MAGA geography is their friend

[PlanetBev]

7. I just can't imagine the Danes putting up with this

I was in Denmark last September and despite being very nice people, they didn’t hit me as a crowd that would take Trump’s shit.

[Bev54]

21. There are some very large groups in Canada to assist

Canadians in finding and buying Canadian goods or any other country goods other than US. There is a large contingent of Danish citizens that have also joined the group looking for Canadian goods to show their support.

8. Greenlandic lawmakers on Thursday agreed to form a new government

This made me curious about how many people they have in parliament. There is only 31, however, I came across this article.

LONDON (AP) — Greenlandic lawmakers on Thursday agreed to form a new government, banding together to resist U.S. President Donald Trump’s efforts to annex the Arctic island, local media reported.

Four of the five parties elected to Greenland’s parliament earlier this month have agreed to form a coalition that will have 23 of 31 seats in the legislature. The agreement is set to be signed Friday, the newspaper Sermitsiaq reported, citing Jens-Frederik Nielsen, leader of the Demokraatit, the biggest party in parliament.

The agreement comes as Trump ramps up his effort to gain control of Greenland “one way or the other.” U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance is scheduled to arrive Friday in Greenland, where he will visit America’s Pituffik Space Base, which supports missile surveillance and missile defense operations.

After his center-right party’s surprise victory in the March 11 election, Nielsen said he wanted to form the broadest coalition possible to help resist U.S. pressure. The final agreement excludes only one party, Naleraq, which left the coalition talks on Monday.

[msongs]

12. shades of neville chamberlain nt

[C_U_L8R]

15. Don't do it, Greenland

Everything Trump touches gets a really nasty infection, then dies.

[SheltieLover]

16. No!!!!!

Greenland, tell him to fuck off!

[Nanjeanne]

18. I dont think Greenlanders want to give up their universal healthcare free at point of service.

Or paid sick days, or guaranteed paid vacation days. Or paid maternal leave. Or free college at University of Greenland.

[RussellCattle]

19. We have longstanding security agreements with Denmark and Greenland for things like military bases and

…..radar sites. I think she was saying, if you guys want more, we can talk.

[Karasu]

22. They have no reason to come to any kind of "mutually beneficial agreement" with an unwarranted aggressor.

[question everything]

23. A Ukrainian citizen would give a similar reply if ask about Putin. you feel you are no match to a bully

[GenThePerservering]

25. "Please don't take us"??

What kind of weak-azzed bullshit IS this? Stop whining, woman!

[NoMoreRepugs]
