He went on to say that Greenland is surrounded by Russian and Chinese War Ships, and that Greenland and Denmark are not willing to do anything about it.
We (USA) need Greenland for our security
Up till now I have thought it was just bluster could he be on a roll of hostile takeovers?

I dont open what maybe dodgy looking links.
If i post one[hopefully not dodgy] entirely up to others what they do.
Menopauselbitch I wonder if you BIL thinks the same now that Trump is threatening to take over Greenland. Basically he's just given the green light to China and Russia to take over any country they think is weaker than they are. because that's what "super powers do".

Menopauselbitch on Mon 05-Jan-26 13:57:23 on the Venezuelan air attack post:
"All of us condemning it whereas the Venezuelan people are out on the streets celebrating an end to the terrible dictatorship. Lots of videos from the people saying how Trump has saved them".
This post is about Greenland. Any videos you are watching about Venezuela- are highly likely to be false. The People in Venezuela are in not better position than they were in last week. In fact they face more immediate chaos and instability.
I think I remember reading something about Trump wanting to be king of the world, the man's insane but dangerous.

Indeed, and I wish them well. But people should be careful what they wish for.
There were several days of celebrating when Iran got rid of the Shah, but it was very much out of the frying pan and into the fire for the Iranian people.
People should be careful what they wish for and whom they throw their lot in with in order to ostensibly liberate them.

A bit optimistic I am afraid.
There is no regime change. No firm plans for re-building the infrastructure including hospitals 50% of whom have no running water etc.
Someone speaking out from Greenland last night said they assumed the US was an ally and have been happy for bases there to act as a suitable defence and would not complain if those defences were strengthened so this is not about defence is about an occupation which Greenlanders are positively fuming about.

Love him or hate him it’s because of Trump that China hasn’t gone into Taiwan. I was told this by my brother in law who’s From Taiwan.
Greenland is a massive receptacle of a substantial amount of 'rare metals', increasingly needed for modern tech.
Climate change and modern methods have made it a little easier to access those reserves, hence Donny wants to get at them.
The "security" line is just the total twaddle that his admin are putting out to conceal the real reason for their interest. Sadly the 'education' in America is generally so low that a chunky subset of the population have no clue what is true anymore, aided and abetted by the likes of Fox 'News' (ha-ha!) which broadcasts 'stories' that have apparently been on LSD. I'm told that on F'book Fox News is widely referred to with a different vowel between the F & X, apparently this displeases Chump immensely as he's not a fan of satire?
I could half support him removing that dictator in Venezuela but the Greenland thing - he’s lost me now. Sheer aggression and self aggrandisement.
Maybe the views of his own people in USA will ultimately deter him from aggression towards Greenland. Even the majority of Republicans don’t support him.

He's also got eyes on Columbia and Cuba! He's as dangerous as Putin!!!!

It will only be achieved with diplomacy ( Greenland) and in the end Denmark may well give in to what the US want, they already have a big military presence there.

I am scared too. They are building a force to turn on us too (ICE). And there is nothing any of us can do about it but be prepared and vote.
Well, I’m a bit scared. We’ve never had a US. President who wasn’t an ally. Trump is dangerous. Someone upthread commented he’s only doing what the British Empire did, marching in and planting the flag. It isn’t the 17th century now. European countries have been trying to make amends for our colonial history, none want to repeat it
Yet here we are, the American president looking to colonise countries. Just because we can isn’t a reason soto do
He already mentioned Cuba being ripe to fall. He also threatened Mexico and Columbia at some point. And, of course, Greenland.

Cuba absolutely relies on Venezuelan oil, if Trump stops it, they are in real trouble. It will bring Cuba to it's knees but it has little in the way of natural resources, so tbh I don't think Trump will be that interested in it except out of spite!
Cuba is next IMO. Though don't write Greenland off. Steven Miller said during an interview that no one is going to stand up to the US military. Arrogant little... He is right, but I still can't wait to see this man be tried first for his war crimes.

And this is the man who thinks he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize. It's like the beginning of a dystopian fiction book.
If they'd given him the prize, maybe he wouldn't have waged war on Venezuala? At least not until the novelty wore off...
I have been wondering that myself.
A strange thing to think, isnt it.
He's a fascist dictator, Venezuela, then Greenland... Then whichever country has the oil and weakness.
Everyone is worrying about Russia when they are the real threat is trump.
GREENLAND (DENMARK). is an autonomous region of Denmark not the USA.
Keep your hands off our ally.
The Americans already have a foothold which can be a Trogan Horse. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pituffik_Space_Base
