Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Regarding Greenland > No is an answer. No explanation needed from DK.
Trump is very good at not seeking consent and ignoring limits. Just ask E Jean Carroll.
I mean he could invade it. And he could take it no issue. Not like we Danes could stand up to the US Army. But if he does invade then the US would quickly become a pariah state.
China would jump for joy at the chance to cripple their biggest geopolitical rival. They would push for sanctions on the US. The EU would probably back them to show solidarity for a member state. Canada and Mexico are already irate with the US so they wouldn't take a lot of convincing to join. Especially Canada as this would signal they could be next. The economic woes the US is experiencing right now would look like a joke compared to what would happen in that scenario.
Would also spell the end of NATO most likely. Unless the other members decide to stick around without the US. Russia would probably declare the day a National Holiday.
All that is his goal.
He could invade Greenland, and that would be the greatest gift to satire ever! Think of all the poor political commentators who are out of jobs because even fiction can’t be as absurd as reality. This is their chance!
I’m picturing a flood of memes showing vast imperial forces menacingly advancing on a few natives fishing. I’m picturing the battle on Hoth. I’m picturing Red Dawn where US firces are the evil ones In our shambles I’m even picturing a revival of The Tail that Wagged the Dog
No, and continue?
No, and voted out of office?
No, and arrested for treason endangering the US by trying to instigate multiple trade and military wars?
