https://www.cnbc.com/2026/01/04/trump-denmark-greenland-frederiksen-venezuela.htmlJust wondering, how will all those defending Trumps actions with in Venesuela going to explain this effort? Greenland doesn't have a ton of Drugs coming out of it, they don't send their worst people.... They offer not threat to the USA... Trump says we need that land for security.,.,,, DUMB Canadians are starting to say, we're next..... but Mexico said, no, we're next..... I got no love for Dictators,, Ours or another countries... But I also have no love for not using what's in the constitution to accomplish things like kidnapping a foreign leader. This guy is NUTZ....

Nice regurgitation of Trump bullcrap. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4g0zg974v1oHonestly amazes me that people think this sort of aggression and utter destabilising trash talking and now actions with Venezuela, is embraced and tolerated by anyone that can think for themselves.

Monroe Doctrine to the forefront of State Department thoughts. Greenland is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark. Belgium is a close and long-standing ally of the U.S. Your suggestion is sickening.

So ... Stephen Miller says no-one would resist if the US decided to take Greenland. After the recent events in Venezuela who wants to dismiss this as just crazy talk? In fact with all the things Trump has pushed Term 2 - who would dismiss this? Europe responded. Leaders have come out and (diplomatically) told the USA to F Off. Denmark (and various outlets in the EU) have stated that NATO would be finished if it ever happened - I agree. I mean how does NATO survive if one member invades/annexes another member's territory? https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...eenland-s-borders?embedded-checkout=trueI guess some might regurgitate the Miller/Trump word vomit trying to justify the concept of the USA taking over Greenland. I'd be interested to know NOW ahead of anything actually happening - are Peen and others all for this? We know after the events happen folks find a way to claim they are all for something ... I'd like to know ahead of time what your thoughts are. Like Ukraine and Taiwan - a move to take over Greenland would simply enable China and Russia. And really at that point Trump and the USA would be closer aligned and partnered with Russia than Europe and 'The West'.

The US has no moral ground anymore about Ukraine.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely. It has been pretty obvious to anyone that the current President it immune to any and all "moral ground" allegations as he has never claimed such a thing.
Welcome back, Joe, we missed you!…. That did not age well.

The U.S. effectively made a deal with Denmark in 1917: the U.S. bought the Danish West Indies (now the U.S. Virgin Islands) for $25 million, and in return, the U.S. agreed not to object to Denmark's extension of sovereignty over Greenland, solidifying Denmark's control there and securing American Caribbean interests. This exchange was part of a broader historical interest by the U.S. in acquiring Greenland, which has been attempted multiple times, including a formal offer in 1946 and recent renewed interest. Key Aspects of the 1917 Deal:
The Purchase: The U.S. acquired the Danish West Indies (St. Croix, St. John, St. Thomas) to bolster its Caribbean presence and protect the Panama Canal.
The Greenland Clause: The treaty included a declaration where the U.S. recognized Danish sovereignty over all of Greenland.
Motivation: This was part of a long-standing U.S. strategy to gain influence in the Caribbean and strategic Arctic territory.

There has been another treaty or agreement since then in the '40s. That agreement basically says that the USA can put as many troops into Greenland as it wishes with the consent of the Danish crown or something along those lines. The idea that the USA needs to annex Greenland for strategic defensive purposes is completely bogus as they have every opportunity to do what they want with greenland from a defensive perspective as is.
It shows you when puppets shout Monroe doctrine and regurgitate trump propaganda immediately ,just how completely brainwashed they are.
