Yeah no shit.

Haha,

I rarely comment on Reddit, but I read it quite a bit, might have to jump in and test the waters there.

Discord has many former military members. Mention Trump invading Greenland, and you have zero credibility

Perhaps we are all too familiar with each other here

#NoKingsExceptForFrederikTheKingOfDenmark

It doesn't quite roll off the tongue, does it?

Oh well, it's the thought that counts.

Oh, snap, you got me... guess I cant support Denmark's sovereignty against what comes off as a tyrannical (and disheartening) land grab to keep consistency with "no kings" now, right? 

But they called it "No Tyrants" in Denmark... Perhaps America choose the wrong pejorative expression to describe Trump's brand of authcratic far-right authoritarianism? 

Why are you biting my ankle?

Could the drive behind acquiring Greenland and the push to spread Democracy in South America be part of a bigger plan to restructure the western hemisphere?

He won’t be taking Greenland by force. Thats just crazy rhetoric and actually poor positioning. Not sure he wants a fight with the rest of NATO. Logistically it makes sense. So if some sort of arrangement can be reached happy days.

But we're not talking about invading Denmark, we're talking about Greenland, which Denmark obtained as a breakup-gift with Norway a few hundred years ago and has constantly been trying to hold on to as a last vestige of fading colonialism. Which, fair enough—if they have the marbles in their sack to play that game. But they don't, and at some point I think the people of Greenland are going to vote—democratically, without a King or Tyrant—for the direction they want their future to go.

And when that happens, I suspect that some of the same people who said that Putin's so-called "referendums" in eastern Ukraine were a valid reflection of the will of the people will turn around and claim that Trump is a tyrant and the people of Greenland have no such right, no matter how genuine the voting is.

The "tyrant", it seems, is the mind-virus that Trump and the United States are always wrong and evil.

Why are you biting my ankle?

Obviously because you did not admit that the Earth is flat.

I don't look at political shit on Reddit anymore, people have lost their minds.

But even the mundane topics that I look at on Reddit can devolve into a shitshow quickly.

Having zero credibility mentioning Trump invading Greenland is as it should be because no matter what he says, its not going to happen. 

Trump bloviates and shoots his mouth off to gain leverage and when Greenland and Denmark actually stop to think about it, partnering with the USA on the Greenland subject, its going to help them immensely financially and otherwise.

But OMB is the newest James Bond villain and is going to take over the world.

What would you consider it if China went and took Midway, The Johnston Atoll, or the Marshall Islands from our National Parks Service administrated nature preserves by military force? 

Would you consider it an invasion of US soil? An act of war?

It's just a piece of land filled with seabirds that are 10% microplastic, that's gonna be mostly submerged in 30 years anyway...

If Greenland vote out of Denmark in a referendum, then they do they. Then again, a referendum could be a more 'obscur' way of taking over a territory ('obscur' as in unseen).

It's off-topic, but Quebec province voted two time in a referendum to separate from the rest of Canada, and the separatists lost both. While I don't care whether the province do separate or not, I suspect the idea may have come from the US. After all, Quebec is still the province with the biggest reserve of "clean water", and also holds a variety of resources.

After a separation, I would assume US investors would come en masse in order to help restructure the new 'country' all the while taking small parts of territories scattered here and there (probably not randomly) through deals.

And it's not about boogeyman, simply opportunists. And when it comes to oppurtunists, I divide them in two groups : the passives and the aggressives, whereas the passives are the ones that wait for the opportunity, and the aggressives the ones that will try to generate it.

So I wouldn't be surprised if some rich US citizen had looked at the strife between the french canadians and the english canadians, and thought of marketing the separation into a "shiny new country". Of course, it didn't happen, so it may simply be figments of my imagination for all I know (and care).

Anyway, I could definitely see that happening in Greenland, if not from the previous post explaining why the narrative about Greenland's resource doesn't hold much water. Time will tell, until then every day is the last day (whatever a 'day' means).

China is China and the United States is the United States.

I've seen more of this type of argument recently. One that swaps up for down, good for evil, left for right, and then asks: "oh, what would you say then?"

As if that's some kind of win.

At least bring up something specific like Taiwan or Hong Kong. Not the same thing, but at least those are real things that happened instead of absurd hypotheticals.

Also, never underestimate the National Park Service.

Hong Kong is almost under Mainland rule now with the illusion that they're not, and technocratic China has systemically imposed more of their one country authority since 1997..

Taiwan has TSMC.  That is the most important thing about them.  They also provide part of a Sino-Pacific blockade from China exerting greater dominance in the Western/Eastern Pacific. So they're traditionally A VERY important ally.

Yes, those are important.  But I'm currently more concerned that my country wants to publicly say "military force is an option" to acquire Greenland... before I get into the pot/kettle fest of criticizing China for claiming The ROC is really the PRC. 

You're right though.  China does China. The USA does USA.  Just never thought their methods would become so damn similar.
