  1. I don’t really know what people expected from this Putin loving person…

  2. I mean it was obvious that Trump would weaken NATO, but that he would outright threaten to break the treaty and wage war against a member state (Denmark) is beyond my wildest imaginations.

  4. As a Dane, I have to say that one of the most uplifting aspects of this conflict and something that genuinely warms my heart is witnessing the incredible solidarity and support we’re receiving from our European brothers and sisters. In moments like these, it becomes so clear how much stronger we are when we stand together. Love u all

  5. Trump wont do this, its just to distract from other action he is taking.

  6. Part of me hopes that the military personel and the pentagon would understand how disastrous idea it is to fight over Greenland with the EU.

    It’s the same hope I have about russian generals who would rebel against Putin’s order to use nuclear weapons.

  7. Trump is like the opposite of brexit. He reminds us why we are in a union.

  8. Alls I want to know is, where are the American conservatives that cruise this sub all day long complaining? They’ve disappeared now that Trump is threatening to invade countries by military force.

    All this whining and complaining about how the US shouldn’t be involved in the Ukraine war, that America should be isolationist and blah blah blah, but your lord and savior is now to start his own Putin like wars. Multiple!

    Come forth you rats, defend your leader!

  9. Never thought that 2025 would start with me seeing USA more as a threat than Russia.

  10. This is such an unbelievably stupid ongoing that I find myself attempting to soothe the stupid by pretending like Trump is playing 5D chess to get Europe going on defense or something

  11. Good thing every America that voted expressed their desire to piss off our allies and go after Greenland. Housing, cost of goods and taxing corporations were at the bottom of our list.
    😑😑😑😑😑

  12. Just a small insight:Trump is following the same playbook as Orbán did while solidifying his absolute power.
    He went and dropped shit like this daily, from excluding people from the pension system to bringing back the death penalty. Anything to control the public discussion.
    In Hungarian, we call this a “rubber bone” that you figuratively throw the dog: while they chew on it, nobody asks where the real bone is.

    Trump’s doing the same.

    And no, I’m not telling you to disregard the fact that he’s threatening a sovereign nation, just that it’s a common technique with autocrats

  14. If Trump was serious, how come this would not end NATO? This is blatantly a betrayal of an alliance. If EU does not leave, means USA can try anything until they get what they want, surely we won’t fight each other

  15. How on earth is it possible that Trump is able to manoeuvre the US in that position by himself? Are there no safeguards in place that would prevent a president from going mad and destroy everything everyone holds dear? Because that is what he seems to be steering towards

  16. The speed with which we are descending into scenarios that I would describe as pure madness is baffling.

    Even if I assumed that absolutely nothing of what Trump said about Greenland has any real intent or meaning, we are now still talking about a possible FUCKING WAR WITH AMERICA.

    This is insane on every conceivable level, and I don’t understand how so many people keep sanewashing this.

  19. Good.
    If I was of able body, Id volunteer to help defend Greenland from Nazis like my grandpa did. (Ive got pictures of my late grandpa holding a bazooka next to half snow buried barracks)

    The best American past time was when we all agreed to kill Nazis.
    #killallnazis

  20. What are we gonna do with the US troops on our soil if Trump does the dumb dumb?

  21. The funny thing about all these “leaders” is that they are just simple humans. It only takes for us other humans to go and rip them out and we’re done with all this bullshit. Go and rip trump out, rip Putin and Kim out, maybe Xi too and we’re laughing. Everyone would be happy. It’s pretty much just 4 twats making this world a shitshow. 4 twats…

  22. I don’t think the American public would take to kindly to their soldiers killing Danes, and being killed by them. They’re the wrong colour for a start.

    The whole thing is a load of tosh, a thought comes into his head, then it spews out of his mouth. This is follow Ed by his useful idiots contriving outlandish scenarios where it may (but wont) happen.

    So far, he’s deported a few illegals and changed the name of The Gulf of Mexico on US government maps.. He still hasn’t built his wall, and Mexico hasn’t paid for it.

    The man is an incontinent blowhard, and we give him far too much credibility

  23. I‘m an American, can I stay with you guys after the divorce?

  24. As I see, he’s playing Monopoly with the world as he used to play before in business. He had a similar game with his own name, for Christ’s sake. He’s rolling a snowball until there’s no snow left to fund his ambitions. Unlike the real state market, this will happen much faster in the game of diplomacy.

  27. Europe had once before been idle when fascism with imperialistic kinks started moving. USA hasn’t learned one bit from history, but we have.
    I will volunteer to defend Greenland if it ever comes to that, together with hundreds of of thousands of other Danes, Norwegians, Swedes, Finns and hopefully a ton of other European brothers. Its not about matching USA’s army 1-1, its about how much political, economic and military power are the states willing to loose and ruin just for the sake of taking over Greenland. They will be caught in total solitary for waging war on their own allies that supported and bled with them in every war the last 30 years.

    Anyhow, me and all my friends are more than happy to defend Denmark at any time against Trump and his MAGA cult.

  28. He wants to buy it, not invade it. His followers don’t really have the stomach for a war especially as the losses would be huge. They are crying over sending old weaponry to Ukraine let alone a major conflict over somewhere most of them are completely ignorant of

  29. Think he needs it to put a military base on, so between Greenland, Alaska and the dumpster fire to the south he’ll have Canada surrounded?

  30. I stand with what Múte has said several times, and I didn’t have it in my bingo book, that my home country would be in center stage for 2025.
    Not even a month in

  31. Why is there more willingness to defend Greenland than to defend Ukraine? Trump is obviously in the wrong here but the Russians have been invading for years and you didn’t send troops. What logic is there to defend Greenland over Ukraine?

  32. This is beyond insane. 4 years of this massive maniacs ego trip…

    When he started talking about Greenland I thought it’s the usual “trumps words mean nothing” lies. He can’t be serious with his ideas.

    It’s okay to keep acting for the interest of your country, absolutely, but backstabbing your allies like this is just mind-boggling.

    I really hope, should it come to it, America kicks this criminal douche into the deep dark pit in which he belongs.

  33. Destroyer of western civilizations prosperity, progress and unity =Trump. In a thousand years if humanity still exists his name will be mentioned in same way as Atila the Hun, Gigis Khan, though at least after those two, western civilization managed to recover. I doubt it will after this freak.

  34. The Nordic countries are united and it seems like (for the time being) the other European countries are too 💙💛

  35. Imagine the degree of shit that the average midwestern American is subjecting us, after being consistently misled by the Ministry of Misinformation ran by Zuckerberg, the hateful inflammatory rhetorics of Musk, the dirty algorithms of YouTube and the complacency of Apple.

    The techno-oligarchy is a reality.

  37. Wealth of rare metals, trump just wants rare metal deposits

  38. Expect to see several European countries acquire French nuclear weapons very shortly (probably in secret). More orders for attack submarines and long range weapons too. No more orders for American weapons.

  39. They’re forgetting they all have US military bases lol

  40. Good, let’s defend Greenland from the imperialist threat. But more importantly we have to prepare to what happens if (when really Greenland becomes an independent country. We can’t be so focused on defending Danish territory (which ofc we have to do) that we forget Greenland doesn’t want to be Danish territory, the US can’t be the only power accepting a non Danish Greenland, we know what happens if that’s the case.

  41. I’m so fucking sorry and ashamed for the scum that enabled him, and those that voted for him, or did not vote at all.

  42. They have not got the memo don the Con is out to fuck the very people who voted him in and help the rich get richer.
    He is destroying the relationships of most if his allied countries.

  43. Pure hypothetically, how does a united European army stack up against an US invasion? I know we would beat Putins ass, but both sides have advanced material although I suspect that US has a lot more of it. This would become a logistics war, right? I don’t believe Trump would be that stupid, but this questions popped up in my mind

  44. If we have to start fucking WW3 can it at least start over something that makes sense like clean water, rare minerals or some shit? Not the fucking US starting it with Europe!!!! Over fucking Greenland!!!

    This is the absolute worst fucking timeline!!!
