Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in [email protected]. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
(This list may get expanded when necessary.)
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the mods: @[email protected], @[email protected], or @[email protected].

United states takes over Greenland. Greenland people not USA citizens. Deported coz not citizens.
Sorry I got a bone spur, cant join the (US) military.
(are they gone yet? π)
Tip: be smart, move to europe
... Maybe not Greenland.
Greenland is geographically not Europe
I still have my fingers crossed that RFK accidentally gives him some kind of super ebola that causes his anus to melt
He'll just wear a bigger diaper then. A huuuge diaper, absolutely tremendous. The biggest in the world.
gesticulates with tiny hands to indicate gargantuan size
Kinda incredible how quickly he pivoted from, "We're gonna stop spending billions on all these wars," to, "Fuck it, I feel like invading Greenland."
I feel like if they make good on their threat of exiting NATO we'll soon see the US invade an "ally"
It's fucking insane. Even MAGAs didn't vote for this. He just suddenly started talking about taking over Greenland and making Canada a state between the election and the inauguration, and the billionaires are just trying to extract whatever wealth they can out of our government before grandpa drives the car into a ditch.
Yes they did. They 100% should have seen through him like everyone else and are more to blame than anyone but Trump himself.
I mean, they should have known that his anti-war stance was bullshit, but I don't think anyone saw, "maybe we'll invade Greenland," coming. That was a batshit crazy foreign policy position he just pulled out of his ass right before he took office.
No. They wonβt.
Trump is making it unsafe for Americans to travel across the globe. Seriously if he keeps making these hostile statements some person with mental health issues will snap and attack American tourists in Denmark.
Prepare for a lot of fake Canadians.
Easy test, make fun of the usa in front of them. Any Canadian worth their salt will join in (more so now a days), but most americans can not seem to do so without mentioning weird colours and parties.
"If you are from the commonwealth, then prais your king, sing his anthem and swear loyalty to his majesty charles iii!" - me to any canadian soon
As quΓ©bΓ©cois I request that " qu'il mange de la marde le roi! " be considered as an appropriate stance to prove Canadian citizenship. You know just to celebrate the rich Canadian tapestry of cultures.
I dont speak french im afraid. I neither see only nore celebrate the rich canadian tapestry. I am whole heartetly against any monarchie or concentration of power in one person.
But true canadians and QuΓ©becians like you, will respond quite differently than americans will

Are we minions? Really? Like the entire USA doesn't have a way to remove this guy on a technicality at least? ....to be president you must also be 7ft tall or younger than 65y? Must fit thru a 12" wide slot without extruding internal organs? Something! Maybe hair must be exactly 27um thick at the root and this must be measured after a hefty meal.
Like the entire USA doesnβt have a way to remove this guy on a technicality at least?
If the entire US wanted him gone, he wouldn't have taken off to begin with. The problem is that big swaths of the country are absolutely Q-pilled on this guy. They genuinely believe his schtick (thanks, in no small part, to a fully compliant corporate media and a complicit religious movement).
Past that, there's a mushy middle that feels utterly powerless. I'm sitting here on my couch in Houston. I don't have any way to get rid of my shitty mayor, much less my fascist President. The issue isn't finding a technicality. The issue is that bureaucrats in the US aren't seriously interested in doing a coup. Comey/Mueller aren't coming to save anyone. Hell, much of the police state is in the bag for this guy in one way or another. We've got enough Pam Bondis and Tulsi Gabbards and Ken Paxtons and Pete Hegseths and Michael Flynns bouncing around the branches of government that nominally provide national security to buffer out the opposition.
It comes down to the fundamental problem of the American system of governance. We weren't that far off the mark from outright fascism under Reagan or Truman. Trump's crassness and ignominity are not, themselves, sufficient to get him removed from office. He'll get away with trying to seize control of Greenland for the same reason Bush Jr got away with invading Iraq and LBJ got away with invading Vietnam and McKinley got away with invading the Philippines. Because this is who we are as a country. We're a big military that steals shit from the periphery to enrich the elites in our imperial core.
We're an Imperial Power full of violent, invasion-loving thugs, rapists, and looters. We're doing what we've always done.
Engaged in rebellion? 14th amendment
I'm still convinced he only wants Greenland because it looks big on a map.

Putin wants it. That's why this is happening.
The assumption should never be that Trump wants a thing but that Putin wants it.
Somebody's feeding him grandiose ideas about global warming and northern sea routes. Probably some flattering lies about splitting said routes between them and dominating world trade too, once Canada and the EU are out of the way.

If they would offer everyone in Greenland 1million that would be about 56 billion right? If you have friends with deep pockets..
For 28 billion you could offer it to half the population.
For a few million you could offer it to the correct people/algorithms and convince a majority of the people that it's the other side who's being paid off, and they're coming for the minority (read majority) next.
It happened in the States.
Is it so he can give it to Russia as a forward operating base for future invasions?
And the Republicans in the audience chuckled when he said it.
