Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in !yurop@lemm.ee. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
(This list may get expanded when necessary.)
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the mods: @federalreverse@feddit.org, @poVoq@slrpnk.net, or @anzo@programming.dev.

Firehose of bullshit.
And international security of companies who pretty much want to profit from thawing greenland ice.
It is not a Danish island. It's a country that is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, just like Denmark and the Faroe Islands. A Danish island would be an island in Denmark, like Funen, Ærø, or Bornholm.
Taking Greenland is a kin to taking Scotland from the UK, or Maine from the US of A. They're autonomous, and trying to buy a country from us really brings up some colonial feelings, that we would much rather be done with.
Who is telling Trump we need Greenland? This isn't shit he's coming up with himself.
The person lurking that signal group need to spill it.
This isn’t the first time the US has felt it ‘needed’ others’ lands.
Americans, now's your chance to stop really bad things from happening. Stop this literal lunatic
America is a much greater danger to us than Russia ever will be.
I implore you, do not take your eye off the man with the knife just because a drunken fool with guns at home has entered the room.
All eyes are on Russia, the far larger American threat - not passively, in them not helping, but actively in them opposing us - doesn’t nearly get the attention it deserves.
It just makes me sick to my stomach when I see their names in the news. I have the same feeling like when you are around creepy persons that have a pedo or sexual agressor vibe to them. I wish they could just stay in their countries and be banned from Europe. But is is not how toxic people function, they do not stay in their lane.
That's an empathic person's response to psychopaths
47th oblast needs to be bigger!
"Mr Trump, are you planning on belligerently invading another NATO country today?"
I think that airbase needs to go.
How are both of them not Persona Non Grata yet?
Nobody in America supports this, other than a few fringe lunatics in the orange hitler cult. Trump is psycho and obviously working for Putin. This really just looks like he's being puppeted off a cliff.
The US can't have shit
If he is really concerned with security he should fire Waltz as proof
I predict something will happen to Vance on this trip, giving Trump the excuse to go in to Greenland
He will get booed, which is his job apparently
"Remember JD Vance! To hell with France!"
Inspiration: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Maine_(1889)
(We know that Greenland is not French; the morons they'd sell the invasion to don't.)
There is this novel concept - being allies. Current US government should look into it.
Talk to MAGA folks. They don't think we need allies or trading partners. They think the USA is big and strong enough to not only stand alone, but stand against the entire planet.
It's hard to get across how ignorant these people are. Their information comes 100% from Fox News, Facebook, friends, family and like minded people in their echo chamber.
I live in Florida. During hurricanes we literally live and die by NOAA. And day to day, we work and plan our lives around the National Weather Service (a subset of NOAA). Posted on NextDoor.com about the administration slashing NOAA and "have fun paying for private weather service, you voted for it". (Perhaps less snarky than comes across here.)
You would be astonished, at least I was, by the outpouring of gall and hate I received. I won't try to relate it all, but even faced with personal consequences, the answer was, "Fuck all that and fuck you! Good job Trump!" That was the most "popular" post of the week. Oh my, the replies would not die off. Imagine hating on the government weather service!
Best responses were a tie:
One lady proud to pay for her AccuWeather subscription. "Where do you think AccuWeather gets their data?" "I'm not arguing with people like you!" LOL, wanted to add, "Not arguing with someone that pays for free weather data."
One guy went off about vets, in reply to no one but the post, for some reason I can't begin to ascertain. Wish I could inject what I know about Trump and vets straight into his brain, leave him a twitching mess of cognitive dissonance.
Maybe cognitive dissonance is what I triggered? Just thought of that and I may be onto something.
(I use Weawow BTW. Weather is very important to me and they got it going on. Even has sun and moon info. You can choose your weather provider (I use NWS) but you can choose from 6 others. Norway even! Only data I wish they added was tidal, lol, and a compass would be nice. Free app of course, but I'd be glad to pay a one-time fee.)
