Trump administration officials to meet with Danish officials about Greenland on Wednesday, sources say

[GlyphLogic]

this is getting crazy ... i mean, trump thinks he can just muscle in on some europeans territory and nobody will say no? Greenland's like, a tiny island with a huge culture and people who don't wanna give up their independence. And the US just wants it for defense purposes? please, Denmark is like 1,000 miles away from trump's florida beach house, what's the real reason here?

and then rubio starts hinting at military force? that's when things got really scary ... i don't know what's more concerning, the fact that danish people don't want to be part of the us or that some americans are like "yawn, whatever, let's just take it"

this whole thing is just a mess and we're all stuck in this weird vortex where diplomacy and sanity seem to be lost on our leaders

lol what's next? like literally anyone else have an idea on this? so trump wants greland? i mean we all know he's got a thing for big deals and drama. but come on, do we really think we can just buy a whole country? NATO is already weak lol. they need to step up their game anyway. i'm not saying it wouldn't be a disaster if the US took over greland, but have you seen how much Greenland is into renewable energy? like what would trump even do with that kind of talent and resources?

can u believe this? usa trying to take over greenland like what's wrong with denmark having their own country? its all about defense purposes and now its gonna affect nato too... thats not how international relations work i mean, the danish ppl dont wanna be part of us or china or anyone else, they just want to keep it peaceful & sovereign... hope this meeting doesnt lead to any crazy decisions

I'm low-key freaking out about this ! Like, what's next? Are we gonna start buying up countries left and right because Trump says so? Newsflash: Greenland isn't some random dot on a map that can be swooped in on because of national security concerns. It's got an actual population, culture, and government – same as any other country . And what about the implications for Denmark? Do they just get to be left holding the bag while Trump makes a power grab? I'm all for maintaining sovereignty, but this feels like a recipe for disaster . We need to chill out and figure out if buying Greenland is really that necessary before we're throwing away our relationships with other NATO countries...

I'm kinda with Trump on this one - I mean, think about it. Greenland is literally right under Russia and China's noses . The US can't let those powers take advantage of us, you know? And what's the point of having a superpower if we're not gonna protect our interests? Plus, I'm all for exploring new opportunities - it's not like we're talking about invading the place or anything . The US should be the one in control of Greenland, not some European country that can't even defend itself properly . And let's be real, the Danish people would probably love to have a superpower looking out for them - it's not like they'd just get left high and dry .
