I am pleased to announce that I have commandeered my neighbor's home. This home will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, to ensure it is used to benefit my neighbor and me! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Not like we can't match the nr of troops standing on Greenland to nr of people. They could be there before the USA can even land on the island. That is not even naming revoking US access to SACeur bases @davidfrum.bsky.social Goodluck getting that back @chadbourn.bsky.social

The central word is "share." Correctly, it should now be "shared." Denmark's population has realized the similarities were only illusions.
Greenland's defense is primarily the responsibility of the Kingdom of Denmark, which handles its foreign affairs and military, with significant security cooperation from the United States, particularly through NATO and the strategic Thule Air Base, as both nations share security interests in the...

Because international media largely seems to struggle to choose the correct wording to describe what’s happening: the US, under the self describes „peace president“, attacked another country and kidnapped its president. That is factual, no matter how bad or illegitimate Maduro‘s rule is (very bad).

It's worth reading the insightful posts by Joris Luyendijk @jorisluyendijk.bsky.social to reconsider.
If I were the Kremlin, I'd order my asset in the White House to invade Greenland in 2026. Really efficient way to destroy NATO and rip up Europe.
Trump's audacious and probably illegal capture of a Venezuelan leader of doubtful legality suggests he believes he has the right to intervene, i.e. grab what he wants, anywhere in the western hemisphere. Europe, already worried by Trump's Greenland rhetoric, has been warned
