Yeah. Like...mate we're potentially about to see the US invade an EU country. Nobody cares about whether you get on with your mum.

 

Yet the journalists still bang on about it. 

Wouldn't surprise me if Posh Becks even spread this to the press herself. To get the publicity and extra pressure on her son.

Denmark should offer Greenland to the US for sale. 

 

At $1 per square metre. 

 

Bargain, right?

Can congress in America prevent milliary action in Greenland. Surely even in America bad relations with Europe is not good for the US.

There is some talk that he’d be impeached if he actually invaded Greenland

I’m sure they’ve thought about ridiculously over quoting but that sort of admits a willingness to sell!

What's Trump going to do with all of the polar bears and walruses, though?..

It might be one of the very few things that finally spur enough Repub Congress members into that kind of action.

Its cheaper to offer all 60k citizens $100k for each one that accepts American citizenship.

 

He can then walk in to defend his subjects from left wing Nazi-ism, Putin style.

6bn + the military action surcharge. Bargain.

He would only need around 1/3 to accept and it would be enough.

Can't imagine many American troops would be eager about heading to Greenland at anytime. Does Trump ever think he falls right into Putin's hand, as if Putin decided to go further than Ukraine like say Poland, he can throw back that the US invaded Greenland so... what is right or wrong? Can tell someone off for invading someone then do the same thing yourselves. 

 

Horrible times for the people of Greenland, no threat to anyone yet could face being attacked.

The threat of Greenland being taken over, you'd inagime, would mean a potentially massive threat to the UK as a whole in different ways.

The other one I can very much see coming is if the UK starts actually standing up to Trump that he’ll suddenly decide he’s pro-Irish unification and start trying to reignite the flames of the decades of hard fought peace in Northern Ireland.

He can't invade Greenland without the support of Congress. Pretty sure it would be an illegal order. That would be interesting for the military and Congress. You'd imagine there'd be some meetings happening behind closed doors very quickly. He's absolutely trashing America's standing in the world with every hour that passes.

They should do a psychiatric report on him.

 

Decisions made by him seem to be more brutal as time passes.

 

Should step down on his 80th.

 We’re only a year in. 1000 more days. Can you imagine what things will look like as it gets close to the end of his term (if it’s allowed to end peacefully).

Risk for Canada for sure, which no doubt is already on Trumps list.

Already done. He aced them, better than any other president. Other presidents don't do that, they're afraid of the results, but not Don, he knows he's 110%, the best

When Weird Al becomes Serious Alfred, then perhaps it's time to really consider the state of a world that would drive him there.

It doesn't matter what they offer the answer has to be no at this point. He needs to be shown he can't go round bullying, getting what he wants. The UK really should be pushing the US into the rogue state list and going all in with the EU. Unfortunately we're a country where a chunk of the population would prostrate themselves in front of trump and beg him to finish, though.

Everyone seems to be assuming that Greenlanders will accept this but they will all of heard of it and so far they don't seem particularly keen to sign up.
