Wrong. I am French and certain industries that export mainly to the US have been devastated by tariffs, like cognac. It entirely depends on what you sell to whom, and some merchants have great difficulty pivoting to find new clients elsewhere. They're going under.

You act as though either Denmark or the US will own Greenland. And more plausible scenario is that the US will own it, or China or Russia will. Denmark is not capable of defending Greenland. Be serious for a moment. They cannot. So either we take it and defend it, or China and Russia will.


Um, as a NATO member, *we* are supposed to help defend Greenland.


NATO is supposed to be a shared defense organization. Not a "you can eff around, spend nothing on defense, and America will come rescue you" organization. I really don't give a crap how Europeans feel about any of this. You do realize that they have free health care and incredible social benefits, while expecting us to pay for their defense. How is that fair to poor Americans? I'm not okay with this. They can either step up and pull their weight, or we will take Greenland and more. And furthermore, if they want to seek protection from Russia rather than us, they will be in an even worse boat. They have completely given up- stagnant economies, moronic decisions like closing nuclear plants so now high energy bills and worse pollution, no defense, no children and no future.


Europe has shown up for some of our military nonsense, like Iraq.

And if you want to change something, this is *not* the way to go about it.

But why would anyone expect a guy with 3 failed marriages to know anything about maintaining relationships?

You can entertain these bizarre fantasies as long as you want, but we aren’t “taking” Greenland. In fact, we should be mocking Trump with that fact every day. We are going to watch the world pass us by, watch China become the lone superpower, and stand by while we gradually descend into third world status. We could have had it all but instead we gave it away to a bunch of nutcases that bought every conspiracy theory hook, line , and sinker lmao

I can't believe you were even to type all that BS while keeping a straight face.


I cant believe you are unable to poke any holes in my logic and are resorting to slop responses.

Too late, they are pissed. Thousands protested today against America. And no, it’s not just trump - it’s “Americans”.
That’s not cool


Newflash: they already hated us. They want you to shut up and hand over your money and in the case of military conflict, your life. That's been the European mentality for decades. They don't care what you think, in fact, they mock us for not having all the benefits that they can afford since you're footing their defense spending.

He is seriously degrading the relationships we have with Europe. People in Greenland can’t sleep because they are afraid of invasion. Many have made emergency kits and plans, some have sent elders and children to Denmark. It’s kind of a big deal. This has had a serious effect.
What was once a very friendly ally to USA, and willing to let USA pretty much do anything, we have now terrified and angered the people of Greenland. This loss is a big one. He is messing up so bigly.

Eh... might not happen. Between what he says and what actually gets done, there's a big difference.

It will depend on whether does its job and stop this nonsense and be a court for the people, or if they want to continue to be a butt-licking Trump court.
