Why is Trump bullying Greenland ?

[CowboyTed]

Would be? OH, so your talk of invasion was just shit talk.

Got it. Sorry, i made the mistake of taking you seriously for a second.

So in reality, it is the CHINESE that are sending thousands of men to Greenland to take it over.

The Chinese will make commercial offers all over the world...

US soft power has been suffering since 2017 when Trump cut a huge amount of staff from Sate Dept and pulled US out of Global deals... Since that, countries are hedging, they are getting both sides in when before it was US and allies only...
Basically, US can't be trusted as your sole partner anymore...

 

[Correll]

It is not that big...

They only come to work at the mine... They never leave the mine plant... They have only work visas and they a flown straight home when they are finished... It is all enclosed, it is not like Chinese will be waling down the main street of Nuuk... Very limited exposure... They will see them at the Airport...

Right. 4% of the population, in one place, all able bodied men, in one chain of command.

And if the number slows swells, with no one the wiser, or maybe they put some pressure on teh government to set up ANOTHER smaller mine. But this one oddly grows, and suddenly you got ILLEGAL immigration and a china town, and now a population... And the chinese ambassador is not happy with the way your government is treating them.

 

[Correll]

The word “respect” must have accidentally ended up in the US-American language. Since when has a Trumpican had respect for anything? Everyone is a criminal for you - exception: your criminal president Donald Trump and his criminal gang called "government" + Nazi-Musk.

Your word salad is noted. I get that you oppose us and dislike us.

Beyond that, my point stands. Allowing that many of a hostile population into your country is dumb.


When was the last time you left your house?

 

[Blaster]

Greenland is a strategic location and Denmark has neglected it. It would be better under United States control.

But the chinese can?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

How is that muslim mass migration working out for you? You afraid to leave your house?

I'm afraid to leave you - if you don't get out of the way of my steamroller. And with your reaction speed, it could take a while until you turn into an orbit far from Europe. Who attacks Europe becames automatically an enemy of Germany. Specially in case of our nearest neighbors, the Greenlanders and their Danes.

Just imagine being a Greenlander and suddenly being allowed to move to florida. And having the money to do so.

How can you defend Greenland, when you can't leave your house, for fear of the enemy you imported?

That was a dumb policy. That you can't change.

And what does Florida do then with the iced crocodiles? The Egypts will not take them because they are much too strange.

Sure they will. There are 57k of them. THey could ALL move to the US rural south and be a pebble dropped in the ocean. PLOP and gone.


And they could walk in the sun and not lose fingers and toes.

Dass Amerikaner oft keine Ahnung haben von was sie faseln ist mir mittlerweile nur zu gut klar. Die Irren von der Trump Regierung inklusive des Nazis Musk z.B. haben in Deutschland während der letzten Wahl Antiamerikaner, ProPutinisten und Nazis massiv unterstützt - obwohl euch die deutschen Wahlen nicht den geringsten Scheißdreck angehen. Wie knnten dmezufolge nur mit großer Müh und Not ein verteidigungspolitisches Problem lösen. Wer Trumpicaner als Freunde hat braucht ganz sicher keine Feinde mehr - und das gilt auch für die USA.

The fact that Americans often have no idea what they are talking about is only too clear to me by now. The lunatics in the Trump government, including the Nazi Musk, for example, massively supported anti-Americans, pro-Putinists and Nazis in Germany during the last election - even though the German elections are none of your fucking business. As a result, we could only solve a defense policy problem with great difficulty. If you have Trumpicans as friends, you certainly don't need any more enemies - and that also applies to the USA.

You forget one thing: Greenlanders love Greenland. Where you freeze your asses off is where it gets fun for them.

I recall plenty of europeans shooting their mouth off about OUR elections, so....


It goes both way baby.

 

[DGS49]

Trump wants to have pretty much free rein to enlarge our "footprint" in Greenland to maximize its value as a security station. He wants to facilitate American mining and other companies to exploit Greenland's natural resources.

Both will make Greenland a better place for its indigenous population.

Greenlanders' opinion on the matter are divided, and will be influenced as Trump's plans and aspirations are fleshed out over the next year or two.

Anyone thinking or saying that Trump has plans to take over the island by military force is either very stupid or delusional. Or both, as in the case of the OP.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

I think that Cowboy Ted and Dexter have pretty much nailed it . I would also add that I think trump also wants some sort of legacy to put next to his bowling trophy.
Its insane really. Turning the whole world into some sort of Godfather remake.
He will be gone soon though.
What is interesting is that China is using soft power and economic power to shae its world. The US is relying on a military force that is declining.
Peking will soon be the centre of the world.

Okay I will inform our goverment that's a their duty to manipulate the US-American elections and to try to spread a maximum of destructive chaos in the USA. They are also good in this subject - but I have to say: You are much more perfect in doing so. You was even able to convince the Brits the chaotic Brexit had been their own free decision while no one else than the USA under Trump 1st manipulated this referendum.

It goes both way baby.

It goes not both ways. People who say what they think is one thing. A wide spread anti-German movement in Germany- supported from the governments of the USA and Russia - which votes for stupid antiquated nonsense is per se absurd - specially when the same time in the streets are only some hundred people who demonstrate for this movement of millions of people. I guess the historians will one day call the first century of the third millenium "the absurde American century: how to lose by trying to make everyone else to a loser."

But in this way I understood that democracy also needs the Athenian owl. Democracy needs wisdom. We need citizens on a high level of education who can easily make themselves knowledgeable.

What a nonsense. I never met an uncivilized Chinese. No need to fear Chinese. And China not likes to make Greenland to the own territory.

 

[Dekster]

In Trump's head he thinks he can have a wag the dog moment...

He is trying to find a country which he can easily invade and claim victory for America... This is pitiful and the American public should going WTF....
For security reasons, US gets what they want, they have no reason to invade Greenland. If the want quadruple their military presence, just ask, Greenlanders have stated they have no real objection to it...

Greenlanders generally want independence some day but they are realistic and Denmark is considerate and because of the way Denmark Parliament structure works themselves and the Faroes have held sway of power a few times (this gives great leverage)...

Trump is a blowhard. He won't do poop except blow

 

[BackAgain]

"Divide et impera." - Make others little and you will be great. The philosophy of spiritually deeply uneducated people who know only themselves. He knows Europe will not go into a war with the USA on reason to save the 57,000 Greenlanders. So he attacks them on reason to split the Western World and to destroy solidarity. Meanwhile Greenland - an expression that everyone in the world was able to live with trust in the values of the Western World - lives now in fear of the USA. And more and more people live in fear of the USA - specially also US-Americans who learn the first time in their history that to say something in public against the high traitor Trump will be the end of their career. But still it is not the end of their lifes. What to do now? To howl with the wolves? Not to howl with the wolves? Could be interesting to see the shock of an US-American in a public urinal when you enter and say "TSS! Trump Secret Service. What do you do here?"



Before I howl with the wolves
I'd rather become resinous, warty gray
I'll turn into an owl
Or maybe a gray sow
I won't run with the pack
I don't march in a pack
I've never barked on command
I'm not going to be messed up
I want to grunt at will
On my own, as I please
I don't want to scuffle in a bunch
I won't get involved with any club

Don't count on me to wave the flag
No matter what color they may be
I'm still able to think for myself
And refrain from shouting slogans
And I don't have time for dull phrases
Hackneyed, pompous
To repeat every trace of desire
And what I think fits
Even if I limit myself very much
Not to a button on my chest
I don't want to scuffle in any bunch
Don't get involved with any club.

Before I drum and sing in marching time
And bleat along with the sheep
Many unhappened things still happen
If I ever please myself as a herd animal
And so I take as my motto
None other than this:
Where there are already two, there can be no third!
I continue to sing ad libitum
I'll march upside down
And I still love you alone
I don't want to scuffle in a bunch
Don't let me get involved with any club

Remember, they were twelve
The thirteenth, they coldly
Betrayed and sold to the wolves
Remember: nobody gets old in a club!
I don't care what it's about
More than two are a group
Every third one has a different goal
He nails with an angel's face
Both one on the rail
No, three is already one too many
I don't want to scuffle in a bunch
Don't get involved with any club.

 

[Zavulon]

But why ?

If Europe disclosed itself as America's enemy - America should take vitally important Greenland from them.
