I am not sure how the US thinks this is going to work. Denmark is against the US taking Greenland, the residents are against the US taking their home. The only way it looks like happening is if they take it by force. The US can do that, but they're unlikely to go that far.
So that's the point in continuing to sabrerattle on it?
One of the more bizarre traits of the Trump administration is their willingness to upset their allies for no good reason other than to upset them. It's a Government of trolls. It's the same as Vance having a pop at the UK over our military. What good did that do them? It made the UK population turn more against America, and they gained nothing from it.
Yes, well done, you've dismissed the efforts and even lives given by the UK in partnership with you and thus upset everyone in the country. Why? |
Because they live in a social media echo-chamber which pats them on the back every time they pwn teh libs or do something MAGA.
And also because the Trump admin is an unholy alliance of an ageing boomer who, deep down, knows his days of relevance are fast vanishing, and nihilistic Gen-Xers who give him the relevance he craves in return for the keys to the Corvette they were never allowed to drive when they were 18.
