Greenland and Denmark on Wednesday said they “agreed to disagree” with US diplomats after a “frank, constructive” discussion at the White House on US President Donald Trump’s desire to acquire the autonomous territory.

    I wonder if they understand how angry people are becoming here in Europe.

    I wonder if they understand the risks that entails.

      “if they understand”… you frikkin kidding me? their twice elected president is a known pedo swindler and those with any sense of reason left are less numerous by the day with shootings and ICE running loose all over the place so asking Americans these days to understand or be understanding is kinda much, Putin and Xi were known assholes and Trump just kept spinning tall tales that “they bad we better” and in the end is just as bad as both of them.

          The “flood the zone with shit” strategy requires constant distraction. Distraction is the whole point.

            The problem of course, is that although it may work on the public, it doesn’t work on businesses and other governments.

            So before long you’re seen as unreliable, business avoids investing in your country, your allies abandon you, and your economy ends up in the toilet.

    The discussion should be simple: “You are not having Greenland. If you try to take it, the snow will be red with American blood, and the next guy who tries to shoot you at one of your rallies won’t miss”

      …and, as a bonus, our ports are closed to any goods or vessels from or to your country for 30 days. You’re suspended, Mister.

      You want it to be 60?

      By “our”, I mean NEATO’s ports.

    They agreed to disagree, and to establish a working group to find a common solution.

    I expect Vance and Rubio to have a bad time infront of Trump later today
