  2. Same playbook.

    Coordinated stooge.

    Trump is a puppet and he is OWNED by so many.

  3. SS: Former NATO Secretary General Rasmussen argues that Donald Trump’s refusal to rule out military force to annex Greenland mirrors Putin’s aggressive methods. Both display a willingness to undermine international law and the concept of sovereignty to serve their own interests, using the threat of force to intimidate and even resort to force itself. This bullying approach exploits power dynamics to assert dominance over weaker nations. The broader question is what this means for NATO. 

  4. It’s only a matter of time before he claims he’s trying to denazify…Greenland.

  5. The eu is using the same playbook to keep their lil colony

  6. Is Reddit really being fooled??? Trump is annoying AF,divisive and has weird strategies
    trying to get what he wants. But does anyone here actually think the US would invade Greenland or Canada???

  8. The US would lose their NATO membership and those juicy weapon sales to Europe and Canada in an instant. Wonder if the US generals will obey orders or stage a coup if ordered to attack a NATO nation.

  9. My assumption is Putin wants his argument used by America. To provide legitimacy to his invasion of Ukraine. Actively pushing this in American sources for that reason. Secondary goal here is upending rules based order that Putin feels gives Russia a raw deal.

  10. Is he really? Putin has this big revisionist agenda driven by a nationalist pseudo-historical ideology. Trump just sees a big island on the map and wants it. Beyond both of them endorsing the idea that land can simply be acquired through military force (I agree this is shockingly bad!) I don’t see many similarities in their reasoning.

  11. How no one is seeing this as a rhetoric leading up to his meeting with putin. He is going to turn up and say “hey putin, we can do it too, accept we are bigger and better than you at it, so back off”.

    Elon/Trump are also reigniting Western government diversity and competition to strengthen it by saying and doing divisive shit and blostering opposition to the predominantly liberal governments in charge. They want them not only to stop relying on US help and become more self reliant, but to compete with each other again and become stronger as a result. Its a good play, and honestly, seems like a good idea.

  12. Trump isn’t as bright as Putin so Greenland has that going for them.

  13. He resigned as prime minister of Denmark to take that NATO position as he loves USA that much. Even lied about it claiming he won’t resign to take the position and then did exactly that. People didn’t want him to resign.

  14. Except there will be no sanctions, no condemnation.

    Nobody will say anything against this.

    America will dictate to EU what they must do, and the EU will obey, no matter how destructive this is for them.

    Welcome to the new western colonial era!

  16. Except that when Trump says it we’re okay with it. But when Putin says it we’re not.

  17. **Major false equivalency between spitballing a purchase of Greenland, and an unlawful annexation of Crimea.**

  18. Those who are looking can see it from a mile away, in the next few decades we will need to shift back to realpolitik and the onus must be on keeping regional powers content. Smaller states will get thrown under the bus for the greater good and it is the greater good. Cold War spheres of interest were an unfair solution to an impeding nuclear war, today we must do the same, only this time in a multipolar world.
