    Oh, but he's only joking - well, maybe, so they say. Or sort of joking with Canada, and maybe not joking with Greenland - saying that "ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity" doesn't sound like a joke . . . and um, not sure about what the about Panama Canal thing is?

    Donald Trump has said he believes the US will take control of Greenland, after details emerged of a “horrendous” call in which he made economic threats to Denmark, which has said the territory is not for sale.

    Speaking onboard Air Force One on Saturday, Trump said: “I think we’re going to have it,” and claimed that the Arctic island’s 57,000 residents “want to be with us”.

    “I do believe Greenland, we’ll get because it really has to do with freedom of the world,” he said. “It has nothing to do with the United States, other than we’re the one that can provide the freedom.”


    Since his re-election, Trump has reiterated his interest in acquiring the Arctic island, which is controlled by Denmark but has a large degree of autonomy.

    His latest comments follow a “horrendous” phone call with the Danish prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, during which Trump was said to be aggressive and confrontational in his attempt to take over the island.

    Five current and former senior European officials told the Financial Timesthat the call had gone very badly. “It was horrendous,” said one of the sources.

    “It was a cold shower,” another told the paper. “Before, it was hard to take seriously, but I do think it is serious and potentially very dangerous.”…….

    Well he thinks he is the king of the world and can just demand whatever he wants. This is not about freedom but about ressources and wealths

    And the gaslighting he commits by saying that the US takeover of Greenland is about “freedom” is something to see.

    I play an online game with a lady from Denmark. She told me the PM won't back down to anyone.
    She wants to send NATO missles into Moscow.

    We Danish women are made of strong, independent stuff—it's practically in our DNA! I guess it goes all the way back to the Viking Age lol

    Shieldmaidens weren’t just mythical figures—they were very real. Viking women had remarkable rights for their time: they could own property, choose their partners, and, if they wished, even become warriors. A legacy of strength that still inspires us today!
     


    We would have to work on our social safety net before Europeans are going to willingly sign up.

    I don't know why anyone with socialized medicine would subject themselves to 3k ambulance rides, and fun surprises like out of network surgeons billing you from an in network hospital.
