The president's public remarks came three days after the White House press secretary said using the U.S. military is "always an option" for acquiring the Danish territory.

    Danes, if you want to do something about this man I think it can be considered justifiable defense at this point.

      It’s the USA responsibility.

        It’s the USA precedent. If you CAN do it, then it’s fine. Might is right.

        Which is why its so awful for everyone.

          I’m saying it’s our responsibility to clean it up. No one is coming to save us.

            It didn’t really look to me that the top level reply here was asking the Danes to come save America, so much as suggest that they target Trump as a way to save themselves from America

        I agree. But I’m just saying if anyone wants to it’s justifiable.

          Ultimately, this is what I see happening, since we are shirking outsourcing our responsibility. I don’t know the ultimate outcome.

          I don’t think you realize how the world feels about the USA and this problem. Not even just now, but for decades if not a couple of centuries.

    Denmark should just rename Greenland to Epstein Island and be done with it.

    Send the EU RDC to Greenland (if Greenland agrees, they’re not in the EU), sell parts of American bonds, cancel trade agreements… Denmark, EU do SOMETHING.

      Denmark is part of the EU. Greenland is part of Denmark. Greenland is part of the EU, but not fully integrated with all EU institutions. Greenland citizens are EU citizens with full freedom of movement in the EU…

    Trump: “When we own it, we defend it. You don’t defend leases the same way. You have to own it.” NATO: Am I a joke to you?

      NATO: Am I a joke to you?

      Yes. Alliances are incomprehensible to Trump, unless he’s getting out more than he’s putting in.

    Greenland should say “what if we’d like China better” and feel threatened by US?

      Double invasions, then. The first to take over, the second to make a point.

News and information from Europe 🇪🇺

(Current banner: La Mancha, Spain. Feel free to post submissions for banner images.)

Rules

  1. 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.
  2. 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 When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title.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.
  3. 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.
  4. No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don’t question the statehood of Israel.
  5. 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).
  6. If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
  7. Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.)
  10. Always provide context with posts: Don’t post uncontextualized images or videos, and don’t start discussions without giving some context first.

(This list may get expanded as necessary.)

Posts that link to the following sources will be removed

  • on any topic: Al Mayadeen, brusselssignal:eu, citjourno:com, europesays:com, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Fox, GB News, geo-trends:eu, news-pravda:com, OAN, RT, sociable:co, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons), archive:is,ph,today (their JS DDoS websites)
  • on Middle-East topics: Al Jazeera
  • on Hungary: Euronews

Unless they’re the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any “thinktank” type organization, and non-Lemmy social media (incl. Substack). Don’t link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com

(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)

Ban lengths, etc.

We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.

If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 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 admin that applied the rule (check modlog first to find who was it.)
