I'd just let that shit sit there and keep telling them "we're working on it" with the approval process. I would definitely keep stalling until November to see what happens.

Imported illegally, you say?

Seize it. It's Greenlands Government's property now.

No it wouldn't be proportionate.

They should fuckind seize the equipment, expell all the deciders involved on site, and ban all senior managers of that company from entering the country again.

The fact that he's busy with Iran is half the reason this is happening. Trump needs a win and probably reckons that he can quickly drive a tit-for-tat escalation over Greenland oil rights in time for the US midterm elections. Right now, his approval ratings are in the toilet, even to a certain extent with voters who have voted for him before... and it's not because his voters disapprove of his law enforcement policies or because of his being all over the Epstein files. It's because right now he's demonstrating major weakness in Iran. He looks weak, and that's the one thing he can't afford to be seen to be.

My point is that he obviously sees Greenland as a quick win. He has some basis for this opinion: Europe is currently hopelessly dependent on the USA for our security. We're working on fixing that, but aside from a few exceptions, we've only been working on it for a few years; we haven't spent decades preparing for a "what if the USA tries to fuck us?" scenario the way Iran has. The USA is busy with Iran, but we're busy with Russia in a way that the USA simply isn't. Right now the EU has Russia sniffing around its eastern border, and a sudden US rug-pull could be disastrous. Both sides are aware of that, which is why the EU has been trying de-escalation so far.

Trump, like Putin, will keep pushing for as long as he's allowed - but the solution of "stand up to him" only works if we can follow through. You don't pull a gun if you're not willing to fire it. Acting tough now and then quickly capitulating later wouldn't help, so the key question is "if we push back and Trump doesn't back down, can we put our money where our mouth is? How far are we willing to go with this if it turns into brinksmanship?". I honestly don't know what the answer to that question is, but European strategists are better briefed on the logistics of the situation than I am, so hopefully they do, and react accordingly. I suspect that the European response will be subtle but firm, moving JUST ENOUGH resources into Greenland's vicinity to let Trump know that if he DOES try something, it would get messy and wouldn't be over quickly enough to give him the quick boost he's looking for.

It feels like literally nobody has learned anything and it's honestly a fucking nightmare

Fucking stupid how people bend over and keep letting him get away with his bullshit.

We all know the US is a fascist country and will continuously push for more power over everyone else in the world. You aren't all that special for knowing this. The bigger question is what should be done about it?

It's a funny thing when people say they know better than everyone else but at the same time have no idea what to do.

They still learn nothing, it will be a brutal experience for them to learn something

Corruption is signing the order to guillotine your own family and still thinking your above that same order.
