In the midst of whining about how much he wanted to own Greenland, Donald Trump forgot what the territory was called.

    Denmark is so cucked and by association so is the EU. They literally gave the US sovereignty over parts of Greenland after this. It won’t stop here. You give an inch and he’ll take a mile. This is not how you deal with a bully.

    If I was in the EU I’d be freaking out RN.

      Nothing has happened and that entire article is wild speculation.

      They gave the US sovereignty of parts of Greenland? I tried searching for news on this but couldn’t find anything. What are you referring to?

          “Sovereignty over military bases.”

          They already had that on Greenland since 1951. As recent as last summer Denmark even approved the same setup in mainland Denmark, so that the potential future American military bases in Denmark could be allowed to operate their bases under American laws instead of local laws, just like an embassy.

          Needless to say, this is wildly unpopular at the moment.

      “Small pockets” are all the USA needs to land troops. They’re making a full-scale invasion easier by appeasing him.
