Summary
Germany and France criticized U.S. President-elect Donald Trump after he refused to rule out military or economic actions to acquire Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory and part of the EU and NATO.
Germany stressed borders must not be changed by force, citing the UN Charter, while France warned against threats to EU sovereignty.
Trump defended his position on national security grounds, proposing tariffs on Denmark if it resists.
Denmark and Greenland rejected the idea, with Greenland’s leader reiterating its desire for independence, not U.S. annexation.
Hey remember the claims that nobody respected us under President Biden?
They did. They trusted and collaborated with us. So much for that for a while.
For Trump, others ‘respect’ is groveling and subservience.
Trust and collaboration are never what he wants. That leaves room for him to not get his way.
What he fails to grasp is that people can act like they’re subservient to you while making you a useful idiot, especially when you’re as easily manipulated as he is.
And this is precisely why world leaders and business leaders are lining up to kiss his ring. Not out of fear, but because they want something and they know how to get it with him.
Putin’s Sock Puppet is using the same excuse as his Moscow bosses for invading Ukraine.
Ah I see. He wants to start a war with NATO so that Russia can help and invade more of Europe.
Probably
The second trump presidency is like an extinction level event for the country. In four years see if there is anything left. In the meantime yeah the country will be torn apart.
It seems half of the country wants it, and the other half can’t get their act together enough to turn up and vote. So…
Vote? There is no more vote. Get that shit out of your head. If you ever want to vote again, watch American idol.
This little orange fuck puppet of ours is just seeing what other dictators are doing world wide and hopes to emulate. Xi wants Taiwan, Putin is getting a chunk of Ukraine, Netanyahu gets Palestine.
Our little oompa-lumpa needs Greenland to think himself an equal of these dickbags.
Will they also be donating a cool million to his inauguration though? They aren’t gonna get very far with him if they didn’t 😬
“Shmermany and Shmance shmiticize nyahh nyaa…”
I’m sick and tired of reading this kind of empty, pointless “news”. STOP ENTERTAINING HIS BULLSHIT. It doesn’t warrant public debate. Let him know via diplomatic channels it’s not gonna happen but don’t let him hog the public’s attention.
Same with other clowns in the public eye. Don’t give them the attention. Point out what’s really happening and what people can do about it instead.
You’re helping them turn politics into high school drama. Gah. We really are getting stupider as a species.
