Trump added, "I view it from a security standpoint, we have to be there."

We are. We have been. I'm getting so tired of controlled, twisted, and fabricated narratives.

I've literally landed in Greenland at an airbase in a C130... They're already our fucking bros.

The number of stupid, apathetic people is disgusting - we need a fucking bottleneck event.

If we aren't drilling, are we really there?

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

Good news we've drilled there and also left nuclear waste buried under the ice and snow.

Sounds like some illegal foreigner camp, Denmark should consider deporting them.

If only we had some type of cross Atlantic treaty organization that could be used for arctic security

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 40 points 2 months ago (2 children)

A Not-American Treaty Organisation?

Strong No-Homer club vibes.

A lot of people need to start going as far as they have to in order to gain control of their country as well.

Has Anyone Really Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to do Look More Like?

[–] hmonkey@lemy.lol 1 points 2 months ago

In other words:

Has anyone ever decided to go so far as doing something to look more alike?

And the answer is yes, interracial couples are leading the charge

"We need to start a war over Greenland so we can be safe."

Biden is deranged though right? Biden was going to start WWIII by not giving Putin everything he wants. Yeahhhhh.... Oooookkk....

I think it's time to stop expecting them to make sense or try to hold them to that standard. They don't care.

[–] shittydwarf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 2 months ago

The tyranny is coming from inside the united states!

[–] Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He probably wants direct control of Greenland to cut off Canada from European supply lines when the US starts a land invasion of Canada.

[–] Windex007@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

It would be wholly unnecessary for that purpose.

[–] PolyLlamaRous@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago (4 children)

That man-child is going to prove me wrong. I thought he was just making noise to distract from the other shitty things that he was doing and didn't actually care about Greenland.

[–] magic_lobster_party@fedia.io 9 points 2 months ago

Maybe he want to distract us from the WhiskeyLeaks scandal?

[–] jjagaimo@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

His billionaire buddy Peter thiel wants to turn Greenland into a resort and they want to claim the resources made available by climate change

[–] grue@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Trump never jokes, and he's also pretty much quit lying. Every terrible thing he says is what he genuinely believes and plans to act on.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

he's also pretty much quit lying.

Ha

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's cute you think the lies stopped just because they got ever so slightly less deranged.

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He lies, when people confront him with stuff he's done. But he's not lying anymore about stuff he intends to do.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Trump never jokes, and he's also pretty much quit lying.

No he didn't.

[–] Vent@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

The other things are unimaginably terrible, so he has to make really really loud noise to distract.

[–] TwinTitans@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago

Don’t give a shit what your reasons are. Greenland is not available to conquer or for sale.

[–] BigMacHole@lemm.ee 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I'm a Republican who Voted for Trump because I LOVE this Country and I both AGREE with his Stance that we NEED National Security AND his Stance of PISSING OFF ALL OUR ALLIES THAT COULD PROVIDE THAT SECURITY!

[–] nightwatch_admin 7 points 2 months ago

Isn’t it grand, that you can no longer tell sarcasm, irony, or reality apart?

[–] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 months ago

Those aren't ALLIES! They're just a bunch of DIRTY EUROPEAN MOOCHERS! They stand in the way of GOD, and MURICA!

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

As far as the Hague?

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

Kill the power to the airbase.

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Right... so, when is the declaration of war coming? The formal, enabling the EU to go for the guns. If this is to end in bloodshed, let's get to it. Europeans have been away from guns for nearly 80 years. Let's see if we remember how to make some noise and things blow apart.

[–] thefluffiest 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Only congress can formally declare war, but congress hasn’t even wiped their own ass in 20 years.

That said, a ‘special military operation’ is of course always a possibility

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 months ago

To my understanding, it will go the same route, as all EU members are bound to assist each other in case of aggression.

For what it may concern, I'm expecting at some point to have calls to readiness for military reserve effectives in my country, the way things are going. And my country is pretty much forgotten by everyone.
