The Danish foreign minister has summoned the top U.S. diplomat in Copenhagen to explain a media report alleging that American nationals linked to Donald Trump are attempting to infiltrate Greenland and run covert influencing operations there.
USA is not an ally to anyone, just look at how they’ve behaved against Canada, a country that is generally considered USA’s closest ally for decades.
Denmark too has been one of the closest allies to USA for half a century. And USA could easily make defense agreements regarding Greenland with Greenland and Denmark. Yet they choose to behave like an enemy!!!USA is behaving like an enemy, and behaving like an enemy, actually makes you one.
For Christ sake, stop the purchase from Denmark of F35!! What the fuck is our government thinking continuing that moronic program?
Edit:
Yes yes yes I get it, I was wrong about Canada supporting USA in the revolution. I’d have preferred not to change the text so many people have already responded to, but I keep getting the same message over and over again.I wouldn’t say we’ve been their #1 supporter since the war of independence. On average over the last 300ish years, sure. They did invade us in 1812 though.
They did invade us in 1812 though.
Fun fact, the US barely teaches anyone about the war of 1812 🙃 It’s usually like, a page in a textbook for most people. It’s rare for anyone in the US to actually know any details about it, or even what it was about.
I look forward to the reenactment of the big fire
Not sure who’s downvoting you because youre right.
OK I didn’t know that.
But again that was USA being hostile, not Canada.Oh yeah it was 100% them being hostile. Canada was basically the easy target to take out frustrations they had with the crown. Didn’t work though they mostly just cost thousands of lives and got the white house burned down.
We didn’t support the USA’s fight for independence. They invaded us and we kicked their asses. They tried again in 1812 with similar results.

At the outset of the American Revolutionary War, the American revolutionaries hoped the French Canadians in Quebec and the Colonists in Nova Scotia would join their rebellion. They were pre-approved for joining the United States in the Articles of Confederation. When northeastern Quebec was invaded, thousands joined the American cause
Canadian here. your statement is categorically false.
America was our enemy up until around the 1900s. the colonies that became Canada were loyalist, IE, opposed to the secessionist revolution. And we were also invaded by America in 1812. There may have also been plans for a second invasion in the 1860/1870 after the Civil War.
It wasn’t until about the first world war that we were even remotely allied. and even then, Canada went to war first in both world wars. only to be joined by America 2-3 years later. We were not formal allies until we founded NATO together.
Just look at how they’ve behaved against THEIR OWN PEOPLE. This current government is evil, stupid, and self-destructive.
Canada (before it was Canada) burned the US White House down. That’s why it was originally painted white, to hide the burn marks.
This is so stupid.
And you all know why the government wants Greenland, right? What US industry stands to benefit?
Oil.
It’s so shallow and obvious, it’s unreal.
I would say it seems to be for the rare earth minerals. As seen on this article, the US is interested in having Greenland since 1867.
We could more easily get oil from Alaska, there’s plenty of it.
trump is essentially Temu Putin
Deport all of them immediately
But not after keeping them in some detention camp for a few months without any reason
No mercy for these lying fascists
Just fucking kill them, let the ravens feast.
Here’s your answer: trump is a vile traitor cunt who’s putting on a show to satisfy his unbounded narcissism. Americans don’t want Greenland. We have enough land.
It is astounding how much Putin was able to damage this country by exploiting the vile republican filth.
“We can ascertain that there are continuously foreign actors showing interest in Greenland and its current position within the kingdom. Therefore, it should not come as a surprise if, in the near future, we see foreign attempts to influence the kingdom’s future,” > “Any attempt at interference in the internal affairs of the kingdom will, of course, be unacceptable,” he said.
DR had reported that at least three Americans with close connections to Trump were involved in the influencing operations, citing eight anonymous sources in both Denmark and the U.S., including government officials.
Polling of Greenlanders indicates little appetite on the island for being absorbed into the U.S.

My mom recently toured several scandanavian countries, including Denmark. She prefaced more than one conversation with, “Yes, I’m an American. And I have exactly zero interest in invading Greenland.” She said it got some laughs and everyone was friendly. I think most people understand that not all Americans are fucking morons.

Paywall = clickbait. If they want your money they can say anything just to get you to click.
Greenland shouldn’t be a Danish colony either.
You could say the same about Australia and Jamaica being part of the British Commonwealth. Historical politics is complex.
At least Australia has currency sovereignity.
The historical crime of colonialism isn’t that complex, we just don’t want to talk about it.
The crime is simple, undoing it is very complex.
