  2. “potential”

    Is it because Trump is out there demanding intelligence agencies spy in Greenland?

  4. I wish Maersk would just halt all traffic to and from America for a week to remind Trump of who has the cards here. 

  5. Greenlanders became aware of the spy when residents were approach by a man in a suit wearing eye liner and continually asked, *Did you ever once say thank you?*

  6. I think it’s time we remove the US permission to set up military bases in Greenland.

  7. That’s weird. Back in the day spies would just be executed with no trial. Thankfully we’ve evolved but I wonder what trump’s reaction would be if his sedicious agents were to be thrown in jail in perpetuity ?

  8. Every country on earth is about to begin mass expelling americans. God i hate this timeline.

  9. “Sir, we’ve discovered that Greenland isn’t actually green!”
    “You’re fired.”

  10. A lot of people think the US can take on the entire world in a war and it couldn’t be further from the truth these days.

    In the modern age of the US being absolute scum to its allies it really needs to approach with caution if it finds itself alone, or should I say when it does.

  11. As an American who is not at all comfortable with this, what can I do? This is not the United States that I know.

    I have a whole bunch of kids and a mortgage. I’d rather immigrate than be part of this.

    It’s a horrible, horrible feeling watching one’s country fall into facism.

    Any resources would be greatly appreciated

  12. 50 / 50 Trump is trying to prove penguins exist on Greenland after somebody told him there aren’t penguins on Greenland

  16. They pulled all their spies out of Moscow and reassigned them to former allied territory….

  18. America, once the self proclaimed leaders of the free world has become something that I, a Canadian, no longer equate with freedom.

  19. There are terrible jobs, but I can’t imagine one worse than being a US Ambassador right now.

  20. Looking forward to the US invading a NATO ally so the entire world can simultaneously dump US Treasury bonds and refuse to buy any then cease all Trade with the US

  21. I mean they have a full military base there, all they need to do is look outside.

  22. Well nobody could have imagined a criminal president would want to steal anything, certainly not an entire country! ~republican voters

  24. What do they expect the outcome to be?
    “Hey Mr. US Ambassador, have you been spying on Greenland?”
    “LOL no.”

  25. No worries, the men of dog sled patrol will get the spies wherever

  26. Newsflash: U.S. has no concept of friendship (politically).

  27. “Trump has insisted he wants to seize the autonomous Danish territory, saying Washington needs control of the mineral-rich Arctic island for security reasons.”

    Or the US could trade with Denmark for those minerals should Denmark wish to mine them and the people of Greenland agree, like, you know, a civilized nation would…

  30. Hard to spy in a place where everybody knows everybody else.

  31. Anyone else despairing about people just joking around and not taking this seriously at all? This is literally Putin’s playbook. Sowing discontent, hiring and bribing the local populace. Just like in Crimea. We’re witnessing the world being divided by fascists, and everyone’s fucking joking around.

  32. Trump will try to annex the Great Pacific Garbage Patch as the 51st state and think he’s struck gold.

  33. They’re checking to see if Greenlanders are building an army of giant robots.

  37. “The article “raised a lot of concern, because friends don’t spy on each other””

    I understand the point of the whole sentiment but that specifically is blatantly false. We (along with our allies) all spy on each other in some degree. Obviously not on the level of an adversary but spying on your friends is normal and has always been in the world of espionage

  38. I want so bad to find out they know because of the signal leaks

  39. > “friends don’t spy on each other”

    rather naive take

  40. Something tells me these “spies” are going to “uncover” something that can be used as a justification for war.

  41. Doesn’t Denmark have a fairly sophisticated intelligence agency themselves?

  42. This is a genius move. When Trump hears Rasmussen wants to talk he’ll just do whatever he asks because Trump assumes it will be good for polling.

  43. Denmark should announce that it is now spying on the Office of the President of the United States. Even if it isn’t, just to troll the orange man.

  44. “Get your ass over here now!”
    Still greeted with Wienerbrød and a lovely coffee on arrival

  45. I’m going to wager the ambassador doesn’t respond

  46. Doesn’t the uk and France spy on the United States. I would assume allies spying on each other is normal.

  47. Oooo! some of the youngins are having a snowball fight!

    Note: Will need to bring some ground to air anti snowball missiles.
