President Trump continued his calls for the United States to assume control of Greenland, admitting his stance "hurt my relationship with NATO."

Yes, again.

The United States should be controlled by a capable, sane person.

It is easy:

Let Denmark control Usa,
then Usa may control Greenland.

Trump is a representative of America as a country, and to all Americans: Your country is waging illegal war with Iran, having an absolutely baseless embargo against Cuba, and is threatening allies.
How about some of you woke up and did something?
When your country is doing this, Americans as a people are as guilty as Israelis are, and the Germans were during WW2.

It's really not that simple, about half the country has literally less than 1000 dollars to even pay for an emergency... 1 in four households have no savings at all...

Insurance is tied to your job.

The average American is struggling to survive and thats before everything got super expensive because of stupid choices in the past year on top of everything costing more because of how high inflation has been...

So yeah the average American is either struggling and can't or struggling and supporting this crap...

The people who can change things are also going along with it...

The system is working exactly how they want it to...

The good news is more and more people are starting to see what is happening... but that doesn't mean anything is going to change

Clearly they're not struggling enough. Great revolutions are born from suffering.

Yes it's not as easy as when you had the revolutionary war in late 18th century, where people were swimming in luxuries and money, and everybody had a house and a car.

You going to fund a resistance movement? You going to arm freedom fighters? You going to lend material support to people doing this over a country that is the size of Europe, and the vast majority of the people who hate this man are a multi hour plane ride away from the capitol?

I live in Los Angeles, a city entirely controlled by Democrats in a state entirely controlled by Democrats.

He needs to distract from:

  • the Epstein files
  • his surrender to/in Iran
  • his money laundering schemes
  • his convictions of sexually abusing women
  • his neglect of Venezuela
  • his so far failure of his Cuba policy
  • rising cost of living
  • rising inflation
  • his shameful devaluation of the World Cup
  • ..

At cost of causing decades long split between USA and allies. There is no take backsies on openly threatening to invade and annex an ally. Not even for the next POTUS and POTUS after that.

Mainly the guestion in Europe has been/is Where is the rest of the USA. Rest of the USA didn't stop this guy, so all of USA is not to be trusted. Either due to not caring or due to not being able to curtail the POTUS. Doesn't really matter which the reason is, end result is the same. USA is a 4 year electoral absolute monarchy and such governance can't be trusted for long term alliance. Since it resets potentially every 4 years.

"That's what hurt my relationship with NATO, because Greenland doesn't help Denmark. ​Denmark doesn't spend money to really help Greenland, but it's an ​important part ⁠for the United States, and it's surrounded by China ships and Russian ships, and that's not going to happen," he said.

What an incomprehensible gibberish.

Right now, NOTHING should be controlled by the United States. The world is rushing to break away from any dependence on the United States. If the United States attempts to annex Greenland, that is the call to unite against them and fight a war to contain or break them. The United States is now a malicious actor on the world front and those who still claim an alliance are foolish.

If anyone other than Denmark gets it, it should be Canada. But it should be Greenland's choice whether they want to be part of Denmark or independent. But there's no argument whatsoever that it should belong to America.

Rules

  1. This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
  2. No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
  3. Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
  4. No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
  5. Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
  6. If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
  7. Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
