Sigh... this is real life and I hate it as an American. The Danes had over 50 [1] Danish lives wasted in the NATO mission in Afghanistan and Iraq and this is how we pay the Danes back when they had America's back, paid in blood.

Its so disappointing and tragic.

Nah. He’s an asset of his American handlers. Stephen Miller is the person driving this Greenland thing (but what are his reasons?), Trump himself would’ve forgotten that the whole island exists if not reminded about it. Now, of course, it has also become an ego and legacy thing for Trump and he can’t walk back without being somehow convinced that he won even without getting Greenland. But that’s going to be almost impossible with Miller whispering into his ear.

Americans, your Mad King is putting us all in grave danger. Would you please do something about it?

Unfortunately our federal government is more than powerful enough to take Greenland and mow us all down. I am genuinely sorry that Atlanticism came down to a few hundred thousand of the dumbest Midwesterners we could find.

You can still call your congressman, senator, local political, councilman, or someone else, spend 30 mins watching a demonstration, donate $10 to Amnesty, tell a random dude in fatigues "grateful for your service but please don't invade Greenland". The more people that do these kind of things the harder it gets for the Fascists to brand those that do as left-wing terrorists.

You have no idea what it's like to be American right now. The propaganda information war that's being waged in us is overwhelming and it appears to be working. The world needs to start preparing for a reality where the US can no longer be relied on for security or economic stability. For the sake of all of us, I hope that our European allies are taking serious steps to become more independent from US power and security.

Let's hope you Americans will vote for the right party in the upcoming midterms. And let's hope you will even get the chance to do so.

Still pissed over the fact the EU made Greece pay their debts when they thought they never had to repay their debts and could just get free money?
