  2. What is the bug up their butt about Greenland? You can’t just go take a country because you want it. I mean you can try, but that’s what Hitler did too.

  3. “BuT HE’s JuST TroLlINg tHe LiBS!” they enjoy saying to try and deny the truth that they have a fucking madman in charge who believes he’s king and gets whatever he wants. Hope they enjoy what comes next if no one’s actually willing to put their foot down to Trump and he pushes this further.

  4. Badly disguised American agents running around asking about WMDs.

    2 months later Hegeseth stands in front of congress: “We have credible intel to suggest Greenland has not only WMDs but fentanyl and MS13” Operation Make Greenland America Now begins.

  5. annexing Greenland would be an act of war against Denmark, thus… NATO? But USA is part of NATO. What good is NATO then? It’s worthless (it is anyway under Trump, you bet that if one NATO country is attacked, Trump’s USA WILL NOT honor the treaty, Putin knows that).

  6. And when the rest of the world inevitably sanctions US companies Americans will be told that it is all for their benefit.

    The Trump administration is reportedly stepping up intelligence gathering efforts related to Greenland as the president continues to maintain his intention to annex the territory at the top of the geopolitical agenda.

    The Wall Street Journal detailed that high-ranking officials under Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard issued a “collection emphasis message” related to Greenland last week, specifically related to its independence movement and perspective about extraction of island resources by the U.S.

    Agencies were also instructed to identify people in Greenland and Denmark who support the Trump administration’s goals for the territory. The outlet explained that such orders help intelligence bodies prioritize resource allocation.

    National Security Council spokesman James Hewitt said even though the White House doesn’t comment on intelligence matters, Trump “has been very clear that the U.S. is concerned about the security of Greenland and the Arctic.”

    Gabbard, on her end, slammed the publication, saying it “should be ashamed of aiding deep state actors who seek to undermine the President by politicizing and leaking classified information.”

    The development comes shortly after Trump again declined to rule out military action to annex Greenland, saying “something could happen” in relation to the territory.

    Speaking to NBC News, Trump made the comment when asked about potential military action to annex Canada. “I think we’re not going to ever get to that point. Something could happen with Greenland, I’ll be honest. We need that for national and international security,” Trump said.

    Pressed on the matter, Trump said “I’m not saying I’m going to do it but I don’t rule out anything.” “No. Not there. We need Greenland very badly. Greenland is a very small amount of people which we’ll take of and we’ll cherish them and all of that. But we need that for international security.”

    The administration has repeatedly expressed its willingness to annex Greenland, with an April report also detailing that officials are considering giving about $10,000 to each resident as part of an annexation plan.

    The possibility would seek to replace the $600 million Denmark gives the territory in subsidies every year, and has stopped being mere rhetoric to become official U.S. policy, according to The New York Times.

    The administration has also reportedly begun analyzing the actual cost of annexing Greenland, with officials are seeking to determine the financial impact of such an outcome, including providing government services for the almost 60,000 residents of the semi-autonomous territory.

    Greenland residents are soundly opposing the move, but U.S. officials continue to move forward, with Vice President JD Vance visiting the territory in late March. Denmark’s Foreign Minister criticized the visit, especially its “tone.” Lars Løkke Rasmussen said in a publication that “we agree that status quo in the Arctic is not an option. So let’s talk about how we can fix it – together.”

  8. The rest of Nato need to send a bunch of soldiers from a half dozen or more countries to stay at a base on Greenland to guarantee it’s security. Because then the US invading Greenland would mean they’re attacking a half dozen Nato countries. Would that work?

  9. Denmark should invite him, give him audience with His Majesty and the King should slap him in the face like the orange bitch he is until he realizes it’s not happening. It’s about the only language the stable genius will understand, diplomacy and subtlety be damned.

  10. How hard could it be to track intel on 57,000 people? Just check their facebook group

  11. Trump and his cronies planning large scale plundering to pay for the tax cuts for the ultra rich after getting into a military conflict with a country that was probably its closest ally up until three months ago. What could possibly go wrong?

  13. Did he ask the permanent US troops there to use their binoculars to check the area they already have access to?

  14. Somebody at the CIA is going to piss off someone who matters and get sent to the “Greenland Desk”, in a broom closet somewhere in the basement.

  16. Disgusting. Greenland and Denmark were allies. With NATO you had everything you needed from Greenland from an attic defense point of view. 

    You pissed away all the good will American had

  17. Well since Greenland is also NATO, this surely won’t get messy and start WWIII will it?

  18. In another few months the US will have no allies and all of putin’s wishes will have been fulfilled.

  21. Intel is not something you just turn on and off, it takes years and sometimes decades to even figure out where and how to get said Intel.

    And besides, it’s fucking Greenland, what the fuck does he think Greenland have? Some secret arsenal of nukes and stealth bombers? Can’t believe he’s serious about this… to our neighbor and ally.

  22. Where’s maga to defend that trump’s “anti-war”

  23. Imagine going to Thanksgiving with the family. Things are going well and then Uncle Don chimes in:

    “You know guys I might have to kill a few of you so the summer cabin is all mine?”

    A few times a year you are reminded that a family member is openly talking about killing you.

    Why doesn’t anyone ask the next question? What’s an acceptable number of Greenlanders that will die from this? Like if 10 kids die on the first day do we keep annexing? Let’s ask Trump how he would feel about his own son killing teen soldiers in Greenland because daddy says it’s okay?

  24. So, what does Article 5 say about two NATO nations getting involved in conflict? I mean, Greenland has some autonomy, but it does fall under Denmark’s territorial laws, yeah?

  25. This morally bankrupt madman is gonna get us into WW3, isn’t he?

  26. Hello fellow Greenlander, can you point me in the direction of the nearest glacier and whale blubber delicatessen?

  27. What intel you numbnuts?? You have military bases with personnel for decades lmao! 

  28. Stop calling it annexation. You don’t annex another country, you conquer it.

  30. Meanwhile they’re turning their eyes away from Russia…

  31. Hands off Greenland! 🖕 America!!! 🇩🇰💪

  32. Imagine the risk its population of 56k is to the US. /s

  33. Can he not? My wife and I have a trip to Denmark booked for October

  34. I hear that Greenland has herds of fentanyl producing reindeer operated by the polar ms13

  37. The local populace doesn’t want you to do this, you orange fat fuck. Address actual problems in this fucking country. GOD DAMNIT. 

  38. “Sir, we have spotted a suspicious penguin responding to the name Kowalski.”

  39. I’m surprised I have to say this, but if the US effectively declares war on an EU member the world will change overnight – for a start, immediate trade blockade, stock markets collapse, seizure of US assets abroad. This is not some pokey middle Eastern nation, or some South American minnow.

  40. How are MAGAts justifying the threats against other sovereign nations? How can they flip their minds from the US being the world police to the US forcibly taking over other countries?

  41. How is he going to do that unless he has his own military. Our military is a civilian military to protect the United States? It’s not used to invade our allies. The American people certainly don’t stand with Trump and this administration either do our allies so how does he think he’s going to just steal a country? The United States military is on the side of Denmark, not Trump.

  42. The sexual assaulter can’t take no for an answer, shocking.

  43. Fuck that. I am not interested in invading a sovereign nation and starting a war for an old sundowning moron.

  46. So maybe he is or isnt joking about canada or panama, but now hes more *not* joking about greenland. Or maybe its 18d chess, or maybe its not. I guess we will find out much later if he was just kidding or making promises about invasion, right?

    Mentally and emotionally unstable people shouldnt be leading any country

  47. This is a distraction from invading Mexico.
    Look at the troop deployments and massing of equipment. Look at the contracting companies and who they are hiring and what skillset they require.

  48. Why can’t we just have a mineral resources deal? We can buy resources for a fair price, we don’t need to own a place to acquire their resources. Greenland and by extension Denmark are our friends and allies. This talk of annexation (stealing their territory) is wrong.

  49. Gathering “Intel” = looking for things to use aginst the political leader, state media, people or organizations of influence – for blackmail and bribery to get his way.

    That is the training Trump got from Russia. The class was a live demonstration doing this very thing to him.

    In the end, if that does not work… Phase 2 of his Russian training – just use force! (Ex: Ukraine).
