Denmark just arrest those Americans. I should know I’m American.
terrywat5
YOU MEAN SPYING!!!
Pulsifer
Spies. Arrest them, publish their name and photos and send them home. (With Ryanair, if practical, and especially if unpractical)
Blackfinity
I'm certain there are Trump fucks operating in here Canada (specifically in the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan) doing the same thing.
Sixsystems
We have one in NL that is using the Rump playbook to a tee.
cgt9803
"Collected names of people opposed to Trump" - like the entire Greenland census?
KommanderKayriel
Probably mean the ones with influence and authority. The ones that Trump will need to have downsized before they can become roadblocks, shut off from their power and influence.
lackinglife
I mean I'm guessing it would still be a net loss of influence with this shit show he is having over here. It would be like trying to stop the flow of a river with a pebble
KommanderKayriel
Every SINGLE time we say that, some awful shit happens anyway.
NKato
We saw this playbook in Crimea before the little green men took control.
Denmark, I need you to sit up and consider this a ten-alarm fire. Your own ally is attempting to illegally influence your population. That's something done in the preceding chapters of a conflict.
Do not do half measures. Begin an operation to monitor and root out these subversives immediately.
Sincerely,
An American

It's basically a sure thing that whatever Intel this leaky incompetent administration gathers will be in Putin's hands immediately. He has so many assets in the US government now, even if nobody gives it to him intentionally, he can probably get it somehow.
hsalonen3000
I dunno, if I was younger , in my 20s, I would probably get myself listed as a friendly, fill the info feed with bullshit, disrupt their operations, do massive trolling and eventually get kicked from the group. And they would have no way to retaliate :D
borgmaster
The trick to taking over other tiles through culture takeovers is to have a positive culture influence rate on it. The U.S sold that tech tree for gold and forgot about that.
NKato
Building for victory was the strategy in the old Cold War.

Epstein files?

I wanna thank everyone who vehemently told me after Columbine that regulating firearms would have been the end of the country. Great job there guys, you sure saved us all.
fformulaa
I always wondered about these! So how do they go about recruiting these people to do this? Is their like a "research agent" category they fall under? Is this a regular career or something specialized? Fanatics serving a master? What sort of work environment are we lookin at here?
schlummi
You either look for someone who'd profit heavily and who is also corrupt as fuck. Or you look for political extremists that are willing to burn everything to the ground. Eg. trump and putin both supported the same, far right extremist parties in europe. Front nationale, afd, ukip etc.
Them3OtherGuys
I'm just trying to figure what smack-talking Denmark would look like. "Did you know they only have TEN billionaires? Seriously, how do they get anything done over there?"
rbudrick
Violence makes them stop. Which I very officially do not condone. However, it really makes them stop, very, very fast.
puckernuts
Its what the Russians did to Americans
EstoyPoopis
And they won.
4EverZw
They're doing this in Alberta as well, sowing seeds of separation. If CSIS had a spine they would be deporting their asses, and investigating the corporations paying their wages.
69Voltage
I believe the thousands of thoughts and prayers Republicans have given over the years hasn’t had an effect
KommanderKayriel
So they're terrorists.
Heelcat70
How long before Donnie Douchebag will claim "People in Greenland are saying they want to be part of the US." Yeah, only the people you sent there Donnie.
Totallyscrewedinaustin
Oh, God, what happened at school now? Now I gotta Google it at the dentists office
Totallyscrewedinaustin
God fucking dammit, 2 dead kids 17 injured at a Catholic school during Mass....great now I'm crying in the waiting room of the dentists office...
Hexidimentional
round them up, haul them off to iceland, toss them into the volcano
lifeisadadjoke
Send them to Uganda with no money and no phones under different names.

"hey greenlander, if you join the US, you too will be subjected to for profi healthcare, for profit education, little to no working rights, basically making you a slave, and on the plus side, you too can lose a child during a school shooting. so, sign up, what's not to like ?"

Hey Denmark, do what Australia just did to Iran and kick them out for interfering in national cohesion.
pareidoliaperson
Do not ignore the extent of what Zionist nation would go to eliminate and isolate one of the few - or even the only one taking actions - sufficiently powerful country like Iran.
Targe0
The attacks seem to be unrelated to Israel.
This was more just Iran attacking Jewish communities around the world, for which it has been doing things like this for decades.
As their goal isn't to destroy Israel, it's to exterminate the entire Jewish faith as a concept.
TheWombatStrikesAgain
Iran doesn't have the capacities to invade Australia.
Targe0
No but it was just found that it was sponsoring terror attacks on the Australian Jewish community.
https://www.abc.net.au/asia/need-to-know-asio-australia-iran-antisemitic-attacks/105703652
TheWombatStrikesAgain
I'm aware of that, I wasn't arguing the reason. I'm saying Australia can tell Iran to go fuck itself and not fear major consequences. Greenland can't do the same to the US.
Targe0
I mean, Greenland does house one of the critical US early alert radar systems.
So they do have that card they can play.
TheWombatStrikesAgain
National security is actually one of the reasons they claim they need Greenland for. So if Greenland threatens to kick them out, that'd be one more reason for them to invade.
CaptainYesterday
The kangaroos would win without the people getting involved.
LiarLiarPantsUntier
The Emu’s already won.
CaptainYesterday
The emus had there win, the kangaroos want their turn.
IrrationalNumber
Greenland is not a part of Denmark though.
Targe0
It is, but it isn't.
It's a semi Autonomous region under the jurisdiction of Denmark.
Due to a lot of historical reasons.
Which is why Denmark has summoned the US ambassador, because on paper Greenland is technically their territory.
Even though it is an Autonomous territory, they are not independent of Debarks claim.
hotaru251
effectively what Hong Kong was...it was autonomous but technically under authority of China. (but that had a timeframe or liek 50yrs back in late 90's which was betrayed during the whole HK event in prior yrs.)
Targe0
Yes, very similar situation.
Denmark “Owns” it, but Greenland mostly runs itself. They are very much intertwined while keeping distance between each other.
It's a very nuanced situation, but the core of it is that Greenland isn't yet independent of Denmark's ownership. Thus, why Denmark is the one acting due to US actions.
IrrationalNumber
Yes, but they are separate nations, so they can't use the national unity defense.
Targe0
I didn't say national unity, I said national cohesion, which is slightly different.
National unity is all its people standing together. National cohesion is more than just the people it's the culture and way the nation functions. Which them trying to shift them towards the US, would fit under that.
billstranger
I mean, they (and the entire UN and any civilized person) could and should use the "stop fucking with my friend, you greasy pigshit cunt of a fake country, mind your fucking business and fix your own national cohesion, shit-sucking twats" defense.
SterlingArcherSecretAgent
As a Dane, I find this very upsetting, to say the leas!
3andAHalfLivesAgo
Don’t forget the “T”, I love tea! Spill it
SterlingArcherSecretAgent
So upset I missed the t!
mpoc1958
As an American, I find this revoltingly upsetting!!! Also, as an American, I am so sorry that our present piece of fascist, oozing swine is doing this to you, Denmark, and Greenland.
Sweatyfireballs
I'm an American that has been in Denmark since right before covid and I have a very complex mix of anger, frustration, and honestly just fear. It was fucking hard getting here, dk isn't exactly easy to move to, and I don't even visit the us anymore because of shit like this. Out of all the asinine things I ever could have expected from him, I didn't expect him trying to start shit with the country i feel at home in. Sadly though, I'm also not surprised.
TheWombatStrikesAgain
As a European, I hate it how our governments refuse to recognise how the US stopped being an ally, and has turned into an enemy. We should be united, focussed on ending our dependencies, opposing Americas fascist bullshit, and finding new allies. But we're not.
Stephono711
As someone from the US I sadly understand this. I can't help but worry that the trend here will echo out elsewhere as the rise of extreme right wing parties seems to be becoming more common.
HighMagosSquidward
This is how American democrats talk about the democratic party. We should be united and forcibly halting the orange regime, but we're just not. Honestly, the prime reason for it is that the only real option left is violence, and collectively, people aren't ready to cross that Rubicon. But we will see how things pan out shortly.
KommanderKayriel
The fascist elements all across the world are helping each other.
TheWombatStrikesAgain
So should the non-fascist elements.
KommanderKayriel
Agreed. I'm so sick of this 'wait and see' bullshit. See what? We're going to fucking die. It's time to shoot.
EllisTomago
Round them up and deport them to a prison in El Salvador.
Targe0
That will be real awkward when they get to the US military base located there.
Which is a critical location for the US early detection radar system for in coming strikes.
Which Greenland allows operating there for free for the assument of US protection. Why? Because of the Cold War.
BC2k2
Sounds like its time to force them to shut down the base and PNG them all.
Targe0
Now that would likely trigger a US military response.
The base is certainly a bargaining chip, but because it is so critical to US security (Likely the whole reason Trump wants the Island other than rampant Imperialism of expanding the boarders) It's a chip that needs to be played carefully.
SimSimSimsalabim
Antarctica is closer.
keelindsey
You really should look at a world map just a bit closer sometimes.
lackadaisycull
If you send them to El Salvador, the U.S.-friendly government will send them home. Send them to Iran.
Virus331
Just fucking execute them.
Deathcameawienering
The Vikinger way
CyrilConnolly
Iran, North Korea... pretty sure the supposed friendliness between Trump and Kim Jong-Un would end in a heartbeat if he had even a small group of US soldiers in his prisons.
Virus331
Why? Trump doesn't give a shit about US soldiers.
lackadaisycull
It’s a toss up. Trump is spineless, so Kim Jong-Un could probably get some nice concessions from him.
