Denmark is being unreasonable here. Denmark does not need Greenland for its national security, as the missile threat from Russia to Denmark does not pass over Greenland. (Not to mention, the United States has provided security for Denmark for the last 80 years.)

Denmark is a tiny country located on a different continent entirely and is not capable of establishing a missile defense system to protect the United States.

The USA cannot spend the required trillions on a missile defense system in Greenland in to protect America if that system is contingent on the permission of another country.

Denmark doesn't need Greenland. We've been standing up defending the Free World for decades and now that we need something to protect ourselves our so-called "ally" is denying us. Make it make sense.

This is not about Russia! Trump just invited Russia to be on the Board of Peace!

They will give us permission, but we don't need to own it, nor Canada. You keep saying this and it is a stupid argument. Furthermore, their people literally don't want to be US citizens and we will crash our economy and further isolate ourselves if we take it by force.

Back to what? What little argument you have is stupid and childish. I have no doubt that you voted for Trump.

Our economy is going to go down in flames and the MAGAs are to blame.

Let's be clear here, Vlad...the US has been able to do what it wants and need from a security standpoint for decades. There is no reason for the US to bully its way to buying or taking Greenland. It has, by treaty, been under Denmark's pervew. The people who live there are happy with the status quo. NATO is happy with the status quo. It is only Russia and Trump who disagree. This is simply no reason to break up the international order that has kep the peace for 80+ years. IOW, there is already missile defense there to the US satisfaction. Denmark is part of NATO, so there is already an alliance between the countries where a national security arrangement is concerned.

Denmark provided troops, arms, plans and lives under Article V of the NATO charter. Anyone who supports this supports the type of international bullying that the US has held in check since the end of WW2. Sadly, if Trump follows through with this, it will be catastrophic for the US economy and radically change the lives of every American going forward, and not for the better.

And it will be worse if we continue down this path. Literally digging ourselves into a hole.

We. Do. Not. Need. To. Own. Greenland. For. Missile. Defence.

If we pursue that, we will crash our economy. Look at the 30 year bond yields already skyrocketing!

Yup. Investors have decided Trump has no boundaries and that no one in the GOP is reining him in. Why would they buy debt of the USA when we’re acting like a banana republic

Yes to all of this.

The other thing is that Trump is a bully. We all know that he doesn't need to own Greenland for national security. He just wants it. Ok. Now he gets Greenland. He won't stop. He will have a big chunk of the arctic , except Canada. Then he will make the argument that Canada cannot protect its arctic. He must own Canada. Then the Trump apologist on this thread will agree that the US's national security, the security of the free world depends on the US owning Canada - a NATO ally. And on and on it goes.

We really want to bully ourselves down this path?

Not going to be good for us economically whatsoever.

Bright red baseball caps reading “Make America Go Away” have surged in popularity among Danes and Greenlanders, who have adopted them as a symbol of resistance to Trump’s push to acquire Greenland.

Greenland has 56,000 total residents.

The NYPD could conquer Greenland with a few overtime shifts.

But they will not be fighting Greenlanders, so what then.

They won't be fighting anyone. Europe is not going to do anything. They will be completely wrecked if they attack any Americans sent to secure Greenland.

They are treaty bound to defend Greenland. What kind of a fantasy world do you live in? China is laughing.

oh, my bad. There's a treaty huh? Surely the EU will attempt to use military force against the U.S. because there's a treaty with some words on paper. lol. lmao even.

How old are you? Guessing that you had no relatives who fought and died in WWII. You may have no historical understanding of the world order, but Europeans do, even if their relatives who fought in that war are no longer with us.

Not sure what your point is in invoking WW2. The U.S. military stepped in an saved the UK/France/etc's bacon in WW1 and again in WW2. Do you actually think the EU is going to use military force against the U.S. when we secure Greenland as part of of America? If anything, they should be happy to give it to the United States to secure as a key strategic location in the accelerating geopolitical Arctic game.

Look at the ICBM path of potential missiles from Russia or China to the United States and you'll see why we need to control Greenland as a vital part of American security in the 21st Century.

We don't need to own it. They literally are happy for us to have bases there. Their people do not need to be US citizens and we don't need to make them, or acquire Greenland, to protect it, in turn protecting both our interests and theirs.

The argument that we must "own" it is twaddle.

The U.S. is about to embark on a major missile defense system (Golden Dome) to protect America from incoming missiles from the major geopolitical rivals Russia, China, and maybe others one day. Greenland is critical to the defense of America in that respect. We cannot be expected to rely on little Denmark to give us "permission" to protect the United States from missile attack by leveraging Greenland. We can't be expected to spend trillions of dollars on equipment and installations on land that Denmark will "own" and that is so critical for defending the USA.

Greenland is a big frozen rock on the North American continent with a "population" that could fit inside Dodger Stadium. Denmark has no claim to ownership of Greenland and no reason to deny the United States this critical island that we need to protect ourselves against incoming missiles. Denmark has no need for Greenland and no moral claim to why they should own a colony in the Americas. This has been basic U.S. foreign policy since the Monroe Doctrine.

You could save yourself a lot of typing just by stating "might makes right".

Tell me again - how did Denmark come to "own" Greenland? Oh, right - the European colonial regimes just showed up and took it, without regard for the handful of Inuit people living there, then traded it around like a poker chip. Sounds a lot like "might make right" to me.

Denmark wouldn't even exist if not for America. Denmark was invaded by Germany during WW2 and we liberated it. The least they can do is not make a fuss about returning this chunk of ice in North America to its logical owners, when we have such a clear need of it for our national defense.

Not that it actually matters, but Denmark was largely liberated by the British, small parts were liberated by the Soviets.

Nobody’s liberated if the US doesn’t “invade” (yes I said it) France on D-Day. Ungrateful MFers should go read some of their own history.

We didn't liberate Europe as much from the Nazis, as we preliberated the continent from a far more enduring threat: communism and the Soviets. We went in to save western Europe from domination by the Soviets.

We would be on the other side today.

God I wish. We fought for the wrong side.

Does all that goosestepping hurt your knees?

Plus they need an “A” word so they can use the MAGA. But Americans better get used to held accountable for our government’s action. Half the country voted for Trump.
