NATO member Denmark spent the last four years single-mindedly worried about the Russian danger, but was surprised by the territorial ambitions by the fest-moving US President Donald J. Trump.
After a telephone call between Trump and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, it has now been reported that the Danish Kingdom is in ‘crisis mode’ after Trump made a direct play for Greenland in a conversation being branded as ‘horrendous’.
The Telegraph reported:
“The US president spoke to Mette Frederiksen, the Danish premier, for 45 minutes last week and made clear he wanted to place Greenland under American control.”
Greenland is an autonomous Arctic territory owned by Denmark since 1814. But now, Trump wants it as a ‘valuable asset’ in the US’s competition against Russia and China.
“Ms. Frederiksen told him in their call last week that despite his ‘big interest’, Greenland was not for sale, the Financial Times reported. Mr. Trump then became ‘aggressive’, according to the newspaper, and threatened to impose tariffs on Denmark unless Greenland was sold to the US.”
Trump refused to rule out using military force to take Greenland, calling it a matter of ‘national security’ to own that Arctic base.
“Denmark has repeatedly ruled out selling Greenland, and argues that the territory’s 57,000 residents should be allowed to decide their nation’s political future.” […]

Trump is returning to US bully-boy gunboat diplomacy. The US needs to keep it’s effing nose out of the internal affairs of other countries. Greenland for defense? Defense against what? The same BS as in the cold war.
“Yet we slink about like whipped curs:;… our self-abasement principally takes the form of subservience to the United States:;… we are under no necessity to participate in the American nightmare of a Soviet monster barely held at bay in all quarters of the globe by an inconceivable nuclear armament and by political intervention everywhere from Poland to Cambodia. It is the Americans who need us in order to act out their crazy scenario… We simply do not need to go chasing up and down after the vagaries of the next ignoramus to become President of the United States.” ~ Enoch Powell
Denmark should ask Russia & China protection with military ,The EU will do nothing they are under the spell of the US . Russian are laughing of the irony of the situation .Denmark you where riding the wrong horses . now you paid the bill !!
Definitely not China, what are you thinking?
Denmark does NOT OWN Greenland!> There are Voting to be in April and If they say Yes to Trump !@! The Eu or denmark have no SAY!!! Have a Good Day.
Protected by Russia? Anyone from The Baltic States would tell you that it wouldn’t be a good idea. Some would say that things were better under The German Occupation during WW2.
Resources exist to be consumed and consumed they will be. If not be Denmark then buy another country.
What right does Denmark have to prevent the United States or other countries of this vast energy and high tech resources? None I, Nwabudike Morgan, say. Let the United States take what belongs to it and further continue manifest destiny. How is this greedy and when did greed become unethical.
” Let the United States take what belongs to it and further continue manifest destiny.”
The “manifest destiny” crowd are as crazy as the Zionists. Manifest destiny means take by force. He who lives by the sword, dies by the sword. The days of the American bully boy Empire are coming to an end. The economic centre of the world is shifting/returning to Asia and there is nothing the US can do to stop it. All Trump is doing is proving that all wars are banker wars.
The economic center of the world might be shifting to China, but I wouldn’t count on it. They think it is their manifest destiny to rule the world too. And you can be sure that China has its problems too. The truth is that empires rise and empires fall. None of them last in this era. God raises up one and puts down another at will. But the Bible does say, “Blessed is the nation whose God is The Lord.” That is usually a temporary condition as well because the next generation tends to forget God and start downhill.
Exactly! Trump should also take over the British Isles – perhaps starting with the Channel Islands as a foot hold as the Germans did in WW11. (Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney, Sark..and Herm). Offer them a decent amount & if they refuse, send in The Reserve Bank to bring them to heel. The entire U.K. will follow in short order.
Actually, I think the British will welcome deliverance from their anguish of irrelevance, enforced over-population & malign government.
And next? Europe is finished & will offer little opposition (that takes us to, what? 87 States?) Australia? Oh sorry! already a lap dog, sorry, unofficial US State.
So I agree with Nwabudike Morgan; let the United States take what belongs to it. Or not. Who cares? Power comes through Executive Degree – guns are sooo yesterday – and destiny indeed, beckons.
Greed is good and ethics are for the weak of mind.
Onward!!
First of all, “she” look hideous.
Secondly, isn’t there someone that we forgot to ask? Greenland?
The Bible tells us that in the last days before the return of our Lord Jesus Christ, there would be “great distress of nations.” It doesn’t say exactly who is right or wrong about these boundary disputes except when it comes to Israel.
