What are [the territorial claims] based on for Greenland to be a colony of Denmark? The United States is a NATO power. For the United States to be able to secure the Arctic region.
So? Denmark is also a NATO power, therefore the Arctic region already is secure as it is.
Miller is full of crap.
Meanwhile, Denmarks PM Mette Frederiksen stated, an attack on Greenland would be the end of NATO. She is right. And the pros in the White House know.
I reckon all this Greenland talk is -again- just smoke to distract us from Venezuela and the Epstein files.

Agent Krasnov in the White House and his handler in the Kremlin might want just that.
How could Putin outspend American billionaires? The world knows about Trump’s past. How much more kompromat could Putin have? Pissing prostitutes is nothing.
This is an American project. Trump is owned by American billionaires. Nobody asks who the real decision makers are or why more bases on Greenland and some mining rights are not enough. Krasnov is a distraction.

The files are out there, and guess what - nothing’s happened. This was the obvious outcome for everyone not bullishly focused on it, warning about the other dangers these people represent.
You all dismissed the boat attacks as distraction as well (dismissive of the very lives lost in those attacks), and now they’ve bulldozed over one country’s sovereignty. You really think they’re just blustering about doing it again? That it’s all just a “distraction”? How blind are you? You are either naively or purposefully ignoring very real and present threats in favor of a scandal that was never going to lead to any change.
I don’t understand what’s so hard to understand about “they did X to distract from Y”. Some people on Lemmy seem to think if you say that, you’re somehow also saying “X isn’t real and/or isn’t actually of any importance”. Ever considered trump doesn’t give a shit about human life and saying that doesn’t mean I don’t?
Also, there can be multiple motivations for an action. Being a distraction doesn’t mean it’s not for other purposes too.
This isn’t complicated.
You’re right, there can be multiple motivations. It all stays in the vein of “Flooding the zone with shit”.
There’s obviously room to discuss any number of things happening in the world, but ceaselessly badgering on about one even in discussions about others is at best misguided and at worst purposeful trolling.
And maybe before jumping to their defense with assumptions about their intention, actually read the comment I responded to, or a single one of the endless, thoughtless replies to any of these articles that are literally just “Release the files” memes.

The comment leaves no room for consideration - it is unequivocally dismissing the threats as nothing more than distraction in service of their own pet interest.

Hey, it was just an assumption (“I reckon that…”). I wanted to express my disbelief that the Trump administration will actually go for it and was therefore looking for other motivations.
Of course I don’t know the truth, and -believe me- I take that threat seriously. But as the risk with Greenland is much much higher than with Venezuela, I guess they just throw around their bullshit and see what sticks. If there is little resistance, they might even try something. Or they are preparing for a blackmail scenario like “OK fine, we stay out of Greenland, but only if you sign this trade deal”.
As someone else said here, there can be multiple motivations. The distraction aspect is also real.
an attack on Greenland would be […]
This has a hidden precondition, and maybe you missed it:
Some action that is called “attack”.
Remember when Russia invaded and annexed Crimea? Who was there who actually called it an attack?
Miller should kill himself. There, I made a statement.
The USA should dissolve into individual state countries. There, another statement.
US wants Greenland, so the tech bros can build bunckers and look at all that space just asking for data centers. Make no mistake they plan taking Greenland just matter of when not if.
Ami go home… and STAY there
You know who first discovered America. They do go home.
You mean the Asian settlers who entered the American continent via Beringia?
They were not Europeans, they don’t count. Have you learned nothing from history?
Ah right… my bad!
