Trump threatens 25% tariff on European allies until Denmark sells Greenland to US

wing2000 · Monday at 1:46 PM

"....the Russian government's newspaper is full of praise for Trump and critical of European leaders who oppose a US annexation of Greenland.

"Standing in the way of the US president's historic breakthrough is the stubbornness of Copenhagen and the mock solidarity of intransigent European countries, including so-called friends of America, Britain and France," writes Rossiyskaya Gazeta.

"If Trump annexes Greenland by July 4 2026, when America celebrates the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, he will go down in history as a figure who asserted the greatness of the United States," writes Rossiyskaya Gazeta.

"With Greenland, the US becomes the second largest country in the world after Russia, surpassing Canada in area. For Americans, that's on par with such planetary events as the abolition of slavery by Abraham Lincoln in 1862 or the territorial conquests of the Napoleonic Wars.

"If, thanks to Trump, Greenland becomes part of America…for sure the American people will not forget such an achievement."

'Europe is at a total loss': Russia gloats over Greenland tensions

The BBC's Russia editor Steve Rosenberg analyses why pro-Russian government papers are full of praise for Donald Trump's desire to buy Greenland.

The Russian praise must warm the heart of our president.

And it need not be an all in or nothing stance we make. We can vote and support a candidate because of certain issues while disagreeing and criticizing on others.

This js s good example. Voting and supporting to secure the border and undo woke is understandable. Threatening military action and economic punishment on allies is quite another.

When we vote for someone we do not owe them loyalty. Rather, they owe us accountability.

If you put money on a horse to win and the horse does not win, there is no refund for loss,

Same with your vote once you have given it away there is no takig it back.

Responsibility dear Watson, responsibility.

This can’t be real. What kind of baby throws a fit when he doesn’t get his way like this?

How can people defend this?

Donald Trump links Greenland threats to Nobel snub as EU trade war looms

US president tells Norwegian PM he no longer feels obliged to think ‘purely of peace’ as relations with Europe plunge into chaos

www.theguardian.com

So he's threatening to destroy NATO because he got snubbed for a meaningless prize. He is demented and in charge of the nukes.

I remember when the Twin towers came down. I was at work outside and we were located on an flight path for our local airport and remember how quite it was. We later found out from the lunch truck what had happened. We stood with you side by side and Candada fought and bled for your country.

as did Denmark.

I want to know who in his administration is reading Tom Clancy books and building a presidency around it.

....yes, but the first step is:

Declaration of Inability: The VP and a majority of principal officers of the executive departments (Cabinet) send a written declaration to Congress stating the President can't perform their duties.

Given that the VP has dubious ability to perform his own duties, I’m not banking on that being how he leaves office.

Dear Jonas,
Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only a boat that landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT

The man is genuinely unhinged.

I wonder to what degree they share his delusions. I think, rather, they are just trying to get as much out of their brief moments of fame as possible. Fame that will soon enough become infamy.

you would think at this point the right admit MAYBE just MAYBE there is something wrong with a guy threatening war over not winning a PEACE prize.

on a fun note...I think we have enough evidence pretty much enough of the administration needs the 25th or impeachment we could probably get down to some place a democrat be president.

Interesting parallel. German population was overwhelmingly concentrated in the Western areas. The Junker farmer system of he East was quite inefficient but they speculated including the Ukrainian wheat fields in the German empire would resolve the food supply issues for the German people, But few Germans actually wanted to live in the East. Greenland is mainly a barren wasteland useful for its mined resources and its location but little more. How many Americans would actually want to live there?

Talk about allies lol. Mamma is tired of the NATO pups hanging on her [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]; it's time to be weaned. Who needs Canada as an ally when they mooch off the USA militarilly, are these the allies America needs, and the rest of those EU countries?

Do we live in a world where Western democracies dominate and shape the narrative or do we live in a multipolar world defined by spheres of influence is the question here. The Chinese and Russians want the latter, Europe and until recently the USA wanted the former.

The consequence of choosing the latter is condemning vast swathes of the planet to life in servitude to oppressive dictatorships.
