Greenland belongs to the people of Greenland! Greenland is currently an autonomous region within the Kingdom of Denmark. We are Danish citizens but our dream is full independence. We, most emphatically, DO NOT want to become another, abused, neglected overseas territory of the US. The idea that you can just send someone in here with a bunch of money and we’d sell our country, is ludicrous. All we have to do is to see how the US has, and is treating its indigenous populations in Alaska and in the continental US. We have no illusions about being treated any differently under US rule. Greenland has formally been a territory of Denmark since 1721, long before the U.S. was even a sovereign country. In 1979, Greenland got autonomy and a Home Rule government was elected. This was achieved, not through bloodshed and war but through peaceful negotiations. A situation pretty unique in a world where most colonized people have had to pay for any independence with their blood. The authority of the Government of Greenland, and its parliament, was further expanded in 2009. The Greenland government and parliament make unilateral decisions on almost all domestic issues. The members of the parliament are elected every four years through free and fully democratic elections. However, some areas are still determined by Denmark such as defense, foreign policy, citizenship, and the judiciary system. Denmark does not, however, enact or decide any laws in these areas that concern Greenland without consulting first with our own lawgivers. The ties between Greenland and Denmark go way beyond history, politics or money. There are many deep family ties. Many people in Greenland have a Danish ancestor or ancestors or Danish family members. Our society is modeled on the Scandinavian system of tax payed healthcare, education, social services etc. Currently Denmark subsidizes Greenland annually with the equivalent of around 600 million US dollars. To think that the US would ever willingly pay even a fraction of that to Greenland is insanely naive. The US has never paid as much as a penny in rent to Greenland for the land they have annexed/occupied for their military bases. The US already strategically controls Greenland, through their military base in the northern part of Greenland. There is no chance of the Russians or the Chinese coming in here with any military might. No, trump isn’t worried about the Russians or the Chinese coming to Greenland. That is an excuse. No, he wants full control so he can strip mine Greenland with impunity of any and all mineral wealth, raping her blind and leaving nothing but death, destruction and pollution in his wake. This is what his MAGA goons mean when they talk about “development”. We don’t want your system of government, we don’t want your model of society with its crazed gun culture, insane medical bills and costly education only for the rich. You have no freedoms that we don’t already have. Our society is not perfect, but yours is definitely not worthy of emulation. We can’t do much if the orange menace wants to act like Hitler and annex/occupy us. Our population is small and not heavily armed. But such an aggressive act towards a friendly, peaceful neighbor and ally, would certainly not win the US any new friends on the world stage. They would probably lose several of the ones they have now as other countries would justifiable fear a U.S. take over. Trump may think he’s joking or that it’s fun to threaten the sovereignty of other sovereign nations as he has done to Canada, Greenland, Panama and Mexico. But this kind of rhetoric is dangerous in a world as volatile as ours. To dismiss his comments is foolish, as he, like Hitler did, has plenty of followers who are ready and willing to carry out his wishes of a violent take over of territories not belonging to the US. The US under trump would gain far more through peaceful coexistence and trade…and as our leaders in Greenland have stated: We are open for business, but we are definitely not for sale and I`ll fight for my country so bring it on anyhow you like..
"They would gain so much more by peace talks and..." Why would they? We are weak. In religion, in arms, economically. He doesn't has to ask you. See you've become complacent, thinking that our morals and ethics were a universal concept, and that history had a natural direction. But it's wrong. Why would they negociate with weak states that can't even tell backwater russia to fuck off? Occupying you is nearly free and so much faster to get ressources and strategic locations. Sovereign policies were declared as horrible to please daddy Germany who asphyxiated France, Italy, portugal and Greece. And, like all northern europeans, you sat there, fruiting from a system that benefited you. Ideologies of absolute individualism spread across Europe and now so many young guys feel like they have nothing to fight for; not that we have the industry or the military might to do so anyway. I hope you'll like your stay in the US of A. Si vis pacem para bellum. Reap what you've sown.
Thank you so much, I now know so much more about your marvelous country. I know a bit about the US bases and their history but that they do not pay any rent is shocking. I have to say that the egotism and paranoia of the USA can be quite shocking, which I'm sure is rather insulting to many US citizens that just want us all to get on with our respective lives.
I hope your island remains safe from Trump's imperialism! I am just curious though - can you please explain to me why most Greenlanders want independence and are against Danish rule? Like, does the Danish government discriminate or mistreat you guys?
@@IMHS21 (Dane here) except most Greenlanders want full independence, so they would likely not want to be part of the US either. Trump would likely have to invade their land and colonize them in order to get it.
the US invading and seizing Greenland by military force, would mark a tectonic shift in world politics. It would essentially mark the end of the western world as we know it. Given that Denmark has been one of the most loyal and longest lasting ally of the US, nobody would trust the US as a reliable partner after such a move. It would force a lot of the smaller countries into unions or federations, spark a massive investment in military, a lot of countries would rush to acquire nuclear weapons, etc. etc.. The list of calamities is very long.
I mean, the US literally forced the hand of Iran to back down its fatwa against Nukes, and when the Iranians eventually have them, if they don't already, the arab gulf will seek some Ns on their own, and if they did that, Turkey, Egypt will have a legitimate reason to have them as well, and if Turkey have it's own arsenal instead of US controlled one it currently has, the Europeans will also expand their current arsenal..... The Nukes arms race was set in motion since Isnotreal started acting as a pariah...
Germany would join the nuclear powers of the world, and I am sure Denmark in the events of such a conflict would be more than willing to house such weapons too.
@@ricardoebbers5154 🇩🇰 has been a country receiving welfare checks from the US for a long time! They should consider their position and put it up to the people of Greenland. Why did Denmark sell out their own people to Chinese labor?

@@ricardoebbers5154 The United States (U.S.) provides foreign aid and defense articles to Denmark.

The U.S. also provides defense articles to Denmark through Direct Commercial Sales (DCS) and Excess Defense Articles (EDA).
Agree. Don't let Musk intimidate EU. Next step Musk is to start stoking Orban to start misbehaving and cause trouble with his EU neighbors. This is part of Putin/Musk agenda. Musk will use his wealth to destabilise EU and cause it to break up. Trump will pull out of NATO and G7 and will join the quad Russia China North Korea and Iran
The solution is very simple . Canada should join EU . All NATO countries should build their own NATO without USA and spend 3-4 % on defence building all equipment in EU countries and Canada strictly enforced . Canada and EU should stop overnight all trade with USA . Isolate totally USA for the next 4 to100 years . Expell all US military presence from EU and put an end to the blackmail policy by USA that is suffocating the EU's self build defence ecosystem .
Where were you when CIA coup Allende, Mossadegh ? Invade illegaly Irak ? Destroy Lybia ? Allons a genocide in Gaza ? The only difference is now US bully also its "allies" and not only global south. Fortunatly the rest of the world is tired with the lunatic Empire
From what I have witnessed out of the EU in general, in recent years, and especially the last few weeks, calling the USA a disgrace is laughable. You have bent the knee to Green Echo-Terrorists and Central Planning of your Lives from Brussels. You have also been Vassal States to the USA since the end of WWII and still are and seem to Love it, and have taken on the enablers to the present crusade of Biden, the US MIC, CIA WEF IMF etc., in Ukraine in the proxy War Crusade against Russia. So one may drop the false disgrace mantle and look soberly in the Mirror as Europeans, if that is where your reside.
Ye the US should worried because it's not only Greenland but the whole of Scandinavia that would be involved thats Denmark Norway Sweden Finland and Iceland Greenland has never been part of the USA in any part of history Eric the red founded Greenland a 1000 years ago he came from Iceland via Norway so Greenland's history is Scandinavian always has been and all Scandinavian countries will defend Greenland
Iceland has no military it has defence pact with the US. But the US has to get to Greenland, How? By boat! I remember reading about those Nato exercises when single submarines, not the US onces, sank the entire aircraft carrier and all supporting ships.
Just to be clear here: The reason why are we talking about Greenland so much is because Trump didn't ruled out taking Greenland forcefully. Orange man went from USA president that would never go to war to president that is ready to steer USA into another oil war...
Nice try, but the US is Broke, and will not be taking on any Future Wars unless it is of an absolute Emergency nature. The US cannot continue to fund wars that go on for decades - and there is much to correct and take care of here in the USA. It is all propaganda that Trump would invade Greenland - and and many in this comment stream lap that propaganda up. Trump is a negotiator, and is quite anti-war. And the American people are frankly anti-war.
In 1380, Norway entered into a union with Denmark under the Danish crown, which meant that Greenland became part of the Danish-Norwegian union. This Union was later split up, Norway went to Sweden, Greenland to Denmark. Greenland is not for sale. Neither is Denmark or Canada or the Panama Canal, I hear. - The only country You can buy is The United States of America. Just ask Elon Musk, he knows which price he had to pay.
What does annexing Greenland, Canada, the Panama Canal, and renaming a mountain in Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico have to do with lowering costs and reducing illegal immigration or anything he ran on?
to play devil's advocate... if US got control of Greenland and its shorelines were indeed packed with rich and useful rare minerals...that means cheaper cost for thing like computer chips etc. cheaper costs of chips and other such important resources means cheaper prices for companies to transport these things, which means cheaper prices for consumers which means lowered costs. if the US got control of Canada, then the US could more effectively handle illegal immigration through the northern part of the country. it would also mean the same as with Greenland in terms of resources...more resources = cheaper prices for American citizens. if the US got control of the Panama Canal, then the US could establish a military presence there and control any flow of migrants coming from South America into North America through Central America. they could also better control passage of goods and things from other foreign countries and exercise certain types of taxation. so, the control of the panama canal could theoretically mitigate what eventually becomes illegal immigration and gain a small economic bonus through taxes or whatever benefits the panama canal would offer...which obviously would bolster the american economy not to mention that all of these offer strategic military benefits to the united states as a whole and gives it more leverage to make diplomatic deals, enforce sanctions, tariffs or whatever else...all of which would help the american economy. so yeah... of course it's possible that these machinations of mine are just holistically impossible as i really just rattled off a bunch of suppositions that i think might happen just based off of common sense, and in reality would not result in anything from the acquisition of those things. but....i doubt benefits wouldn't come from control over more land since the ownership/access to land with an abundance of resources has always led to an increase in the power of the country that has said ownership/access.
@nicelypenn I understand your point, but none of the countries are interested in selling their land or giving up their lands and have said so numerous times. Annexing these lands will NEVER happen. My question still remains. What does this have to do with his campaign promises?
It may also be acstrategy of throwing fogs: Trump wanted to be elected to avoid jail, and promised everybody, what they wanted to hear and he can't fulfill that what he promised. And now he Talks of Greenland and so on, themes he didn't mention before elected. And maybe he's really that crazy?
Ablenkungsmanöver, neues Aufregerthema, da er seine Wahlversprechen nicht erfüllen kann? Er wollte wohl gewählt werden, um nicht eingesperrt zu werden.
Someone needs to tell trump that China and Russia are talking to all these countries. If he knew thats how they did it (its true) he would stop with the public bullshit.
Yes dumb wit. Trump knows China and Russia are talking to Greenland. That's the point. If they get a foothold there and exploit the vast resources, then the west is done. If they choose to invade, who will the Europeans run to. Oh, that's right, the United States. It's called political chess.
My "convicted felon" can beat your "prosecutor" any day of the week (across the board, I might add!!). Remember that, each time you call Mr 47 a "convicted felon", LoL 🤣🤣🤣
The job of a President is to serve his country. If you had an ounce of geostrategic thought in your head, you'd see why America would benefit greatly from Greenland and vise versa. And by the way, this kinda stuff happens all the time, most politicians just keep these discussions behind closed doors.
Greenland belongs to the native greenlanders, currently an autonomous Danish region. It will be defended in the samevway as if any other NATO member is attacked. I doubt the Grernlanders would want to become US citizens so you can plunder their country in the same way you plundered and commited genocide on native Americans. Also look to Gaza to see how the US, and it's allies deals with others.
MAGA mom: “I’m proud my son died in our invasion of Greenland. America’s billionaires deserve the valuable minerals in it’s land. All praise to orange messiah!”
Question if Europe turned round and told America, you have 30 days to shut all your bases and move out. Because no one in or out no local food no fuel. Would Trump think he has won. Because I think he would lose big.
Its dangerous for our free world. I could even imagine thump exiting from NATO. I am very positive that all hell would break loose. Putin is already doing what he wants, if that were to happen, Europe is doomed aka WW3. These are frightening times. Thump has proven what he campaigned with were lies. I am nervous to say the least. I hope we all survive this as a free world.
He's more kile Mikhail Gorbachev who tore the Soviet Union into pieces. Putin is much smarter and well educated when it comes to history in order to not repeat the mistakes of the past. Don't get me wrong, all the three are crap, but a smart crap is still less dangerous than an idiot arrogant crap!
When Putin attacked Ukraine Trump called it genius. Is Greenland a Ukraine to Trump ? Does he think the big countries should get bigger. ie absorb their close neighbors ?
@@juandelectable “I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said, ‘This is genius,’ ” Mr. Trump said during the radio interview “Putin declares a big portion of of Ukraine, Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that’s wonderful. So, Putin is now saying, ‘It’s independent,’ a large section of Ukraine. I said, ‘How smart is that?’”
@@juandelectable “I mean, he’s taking over a country for $2 worth of sanctions. I’d say that’s pretty smart,” Mr. Trump said during a fundraiser at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on Wednesday night,
I feel bad for A. Blinken who has worked hard to settle conflicts in the world and is forced to comment on the words of a deranged person who wants to annex neighboring countries.
@@juandelectable It wasn't Blinken, Blinken tried hard to convince Biden to help Ukraine more effectively. it was Jake Sullivan who refused to allow Ukraine to win in 2022, which they could easily have done if the USA had provided all the stuff they needed and asked for.
The problem is when Trump says stupid things like this, it makes Russia, China etc. think that they can do whatever without consequences.. In a time like this where Russia and China are beating the war drums it's more important than ever to work together. Also Greenland is not Denmark's to sell, Greenland want independence which is not the same as being another state in America.. America has had access to Greenland since WW2 - Pituffik/Thule air base and other military instalations, so it has nothing to do with ''national security'' it's all about economics - a potential gas line going from America via Greenland to Europe, national resources, and shippings lanes in the arctic. And don't forget Trump's bruised ego when the Danish PM - Mette Frederiksen, said that it was an absurd idea that Trump/America wanted to buy Greenland in 2019, which it is, narcissists don't deal well with rejections...
Russia and China already do whatever they want. China has been waging economic war with south east asia and Australia for years and the US has done nothing to help. What the world needs is for America to be stronger than them and stop fighting with their hands tied behind their backs.
Words uttered to make us believe that US government cares about democracy and human lives. And then he braggs about creating better relations between Israel and the Saudi Arabia. Nice friends you have got.
Mr. Blinken is a fine human being who has done an incredible job in his position a SecState. I applaud him. He has tried hard and will not give up until 12noon on January 20.

It's just classic Trump style intimidation before suggesting a Putin friendly deal in Ukraine. The allies which he attacked recently UK, Germany, Denmark & Canada are some of the countries most likely to oppose such a deal by perhaps continuing support to Ukraine.

As an American I think Europe is capable of defending itself and the 100000 American troops in Europe should be brought home and deployed as needed with congressional approval to the US Mexico and Canadian borders. The US should leave NATO. The US should end funding and weapons to Ukraine. The US should concentrate on doing good in the world and only use force when absolutely necessary. There are 700 million people who are hungry everyday. 2.2 billion people do not have clean water. These are solvable problems if the developed countries work together. The US should solve it's own healthcare issues then with other countries cooperation insure everyone in the world has at least basic healthcare starting with children.
Europe should stop taking refugees from American wars and sacrificing the lives of its people in American wars. Europe should stop screwing over its economy by banning Russian gas just because America said so.
He could have just told us (Danes). "We are going to increase our military presence by 1000% in Greenland". It would be perfectly fine with us and that's a fact.
Why would you ask Blinken anything? He is an empty suit and an abject failure in almost every pursuit he has ever made. He is the poster boy of failing upward.

A play for Greenland is nothing more than an Oligarchic Grift, and here’s why: 1. U.S. Military is already big in Greenland. The U.S. maintains a significant military presence in Greenland through Thule Air Base, which features a 3,700-meter runway and over 1 million square feet of infrastructure. The base is staffed by approximately 600 troops. Annually, the U.S. allocates $150 million for operations and maintenance, with an additional $300 million expansions in 2025, including a 500-meter runway extension and enhanced radar systems. Investments in next-generation radar and satellite communications have increased surveillance range by 30%, and new facilities are being built to accommodate more personnel and equipment. The U.S. also conducts biannual joint exercises with Danish and NATO forces and dedicates 10% of the defence budget to sustainability initiatives to protect Greenland’s fragile ecosystem. These numbers highlight Thule Air Base’s pivotal role in American Arctic defence strategy amid evolving geopolitical challenges. 2. The Prize: Natural Resources Greenland is exceptionally rich in natural resources, with climate change enhancing access to its vast deposits. It holds about 80% of the world’s untapped rare earth elements, essential for smartphones and electric vehicles, alongside 500 million tons of zinc, 200 million tons of lead, and 50 million ounces of gold. Oil and natural gas exploration is expanding, with reserves estimated at 1 billion barrels of oil and 200 billion cubic feet of natural gas. Melting ice has opened new maritime routes, reducing shipping distances by up to 40% and facilitating exports. Emerging energy sectors include geothermal with a potential capacity of 300 MW and offshore wind projects projected to generate 1,000 MW. Greenland has already attracted over $10 billion in foreign investment from multinational mining and energy companies, and the island plans to develop 25 mining projects by 2030. These numbers underscore Greenland’s pivotal role in the global economy, attracting industries eager to leverage its abundant and emerging natural resources.
good to know that "you guys" are doing everything you can for the American people ... ... the trend clearly shows the direction of "your guys' " success story ... do we wanna start in the 1950ies? 70ies? 90ies? the last 10 years? ...

Blinken's actions and rhetoric raise significant concerns about his role in shaping U.S. foreign policy and its impact on America's standing in the world. His involvement with the group of 51 experts who dismissed the Hunter Biden laptop story as Russian disinformation reflects a troubling pattern of politicized decision-making. Such actions undermine trust in leadership and can be perceived as contrary to the principles of transparency and accountability. As someone who wore the uniform and took an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, his actions should align with those commitments. Unfortunately, his decisions seem to contribute to the challenges facing America's global influence and the preservation of our nation's values. Constructive leadership demands accountability, integrity, and a clear commitment to the American way of life.
Greenland belongs to the people of Greenland!
Greenland is currently an autonomous region within the Kingdom of Denmark. We are Danish citizens but our dream is full independence.
We, most emphatically, DO NOT want to become another, abused, neglected overseas territory of the US. The idea that you can just send someone in here with a bunch of money and we’d sell our country, is ludicrous. All we have to do is to see how the US has, and is treating its indigenous populations in Alaska and in the continental US. We have no illusions about being treated any differently under US rule.
Greenland has formally been a territory of Denmark since 1721, long before the U.S. was even a sovereign country.
In 1979, Greenland got autonomy and a Home Rule government was elected. This was achieved, not through bloodshed and war but through peaceful negotiations. A situation pretty unique in a world where most colonized people have had to pay for any independence with their blood.
The authority of the Government of Greenland, and its parliament, was further expanded in 2009. The Greenland government and parliament make unilateral decisions on almost all domestic issues.
The members of the parliament are elected every four years through free and fully democratic elections. However, some areas are still determined by Denmark such as defense, foreign policy, citizenship, and the judiciary system. Denmark does not, however, enact or decide any laws in these areas that concern Greenland without consulting first with our own lawgivers.
The ties between Greenland and Denmark go way beyond history, politics or money. There are many deep family ties. Many people in Greenland have a Danish ancestor or ancestors or Danish family members.
Our society is modeled on the Scandinavian system of tax payed healthcare, education, social services etc. Currently Denmark subsidizes Greenland annually with the equivalent of around 600 million US dollars.
To think that the US would ever willingly pay even a fraction of that to Greenland is insanely naive. The US has never paid as much as a penny in rent to Greenland for the land they have annexed/occupied for their military bases.
The US already strategically controls Greenland, through their military base in the northern part of Greenland. There is no chance of the Russians or the Chinese coming in here with any military might.
No, trump isn’t worried about the Russians or the Chinese coming to Greenland. That is an excuse. No, he wants full control so he can strip mine Greenland with impunity of any and all mineral wealth, raping her blind and leaving nothing but death, destruction and pollution in his wake. This is what his MAGA goons mean when they talk about “development”.
We don’t want your system of government, we don’t want your model of society with its crazed gun culture, insane medical bills and costly education only for the rich. You have no freedoms that we don’t already have. Our society is not perfect, but yours is definitely not worthy of emulation.
We can’t do much if the orange menace wants to act like Hitler and annex/occupy us. Our population is small and not heavily armed.
But such an aggressive act towards a friendly, peaceful neighbor and ally, would certainly not win the US any new friends on the world stage. They would probably lose several of the ones they have now as other countries would justifiable fear a U.S. take over. Trump may think he’s joking or that it’s fun to threaten the sovereignty of other sovereign nations as he has done to Canada, Greenland, Panama and Mexico. But this kind of rhetoric is dangerous in a world as volatile as ours. To dismiss his comments is foolish, as he, like Hitler did, has plenty of followers who are ready and willing to carry out his wishes of a violent take over of territories not belonging to the US.
The US under trump would gain far more through peaceful coexistence and trade…and as our leaders in Greenland have stated: We are open for business, but we are definitely not for sale and I`ll fight for my country so bring it on anyhow you like..

Why would they? We are weak. In religion, in arms, economically. He doesn't has to ask you. See you've become complacent, thinking that our morals and ethics were a universal concept, and that history had a natural direction. But it's wrong.
Why would they negociate with weak states that can't even tell backwater russia to fuck off? Occupying you is nearly free and so much faster to get ressources and strategic locations.
Sovereign policies were declared as horrible to please daddy Germany who asphyxiated France, Italy, portugal and Greece. And, like all northern europeans, you sat there, fruiting from a system that benefited you.

@@JohnTripp-y7jno, please explain?
I hope your island remains safe from Trump's imperialism!
I am just curious though - can you please explain to me why most Greenlanders want independence and are against Danish rule? Like, does the Danish government discriminate or mistreat you guys?
Danish here: Greenland is not ours to sell.
Even if it was, there are people there. And we stopped buying and selling humans a long time ago.
Indeed, Greenland is not~trump is an absolute earsling and I will uphold Canadian and Greenlanders right to self determination
Then let the people there decide and stop crying
It's very simple. Is it from Denmark or not? If it's not for Denmark to sell, then he will buy it from the one it can be bought from.
@@IMHS21 (Dane here) except most Greenlanders want full independence, so they would likely not want to be part of the US either. Trump would likely have to invade their land and colonize them in order to get it.
Ever been there? What if it went to a vote and the people of Greenland voted to be a part of the United States?
Greenland would be my next vacation.
the US invading and seizing Greenland by military force, would mark a tectonic shift in world politics. It would essentially mark the end of the western world as we know it. Given that Denmark has been one of the most loyal and longest lasting ally of the US, nobody would trust the US as a reliable partner after such a move. It would force a lot of the smaller countries into unions or federations, spark a massive investment in military, a lot of countries would rush to acquire nuclear weapons, etc. etc.. The list of calamities is very long.
I mean, the US literally forced the hand of Iran to back down its fatwa against Nukes, and when the Iranians eventually have them, if they don't already, the arab gulf will seek some Ns on their own, and if they did that, Turkey, Egypt will have a legitimate reason to have them as well, and if Turkey have it's own arsenal instead of US controlled one it currently has, the Europeans will also expand their current arsenal.....
The Nukes arms race was set in motion since Isnotreal started acting as a pariah...
Germany would join the nuclear powers of the world, and I am sure Denmark in the events of such a conflict would be more than willing to house such weapons too.

Europe should get ready to go without America if needed .
Everyone should. Look, which countries has a good outcome when they get close to US.
Agree. Don't let Musk intimidate EU. Next step Musk is to start stoking Orban to start misbehaving and cause trouble with his EU neighbors. This is part of Putin/Musk agenda. Musk will use his wealth to destabilise EU and cause it to break up. Trump will pull out of NATO and G7 and will join the quad Russia China North Korea and Iran
The solution is very simple . Canada should join EU . All NATO countries should build their own NATO without USA and spend 3-4 % on defence building all equipment in EU countries and Canada strictly enforced . Canada and EU should stop overnight all trade with USA . Isolate totally USA for the next 4 to100 years . Expell all US military presence from EU and put an end to the blackmail policy by USA that is suffocating the EU's self build defence ecosystem .

Between Satan and the Devil...
From what I have witnessed out of the EU in general, in recent years, and especially the last few weeks, calling the USA a disgrace is laughable. You have bent the knee to Green Echo-Terrorists and Central Planning of your Lives from Brussels. You have also been Vassal States to the USA since the end of WWII and still are and seem to Love it, and have taken on the enablers to the present crusade of Biden, the US MIC, CIA WEF IMF etc., in Ukraine in the proxy War Crusade against Russia. So one may drop the false disgrace mantle and look soberly in the Mirror as Europeans, if that is where your reside.
Ye the US should worried because it's not only Greenland but the whole of Scandinavia that would be involved thats Denmark Norway Sweden Finland and Iceland Greenland has never been part of the USA in any part of history Eric the red founded Greenland a 1000 years ago he came from Iceland via Norway so Greenland's history is Scandinavian always has been and all Scandinavian countries will defend Greenland
Iceland has no military it has defence pact with the US. But the US has to get to Greenland, How? By boat! I remember reading about those Nato exercises when single submarines, not the US onces, sank the entire aircraft carrier and all supporting ships.
@@RussellAshworth Good Luck! Already sold out to China
@@weltbunte1134 Swedes being Swedish,- and being very quiet about it,- all it took was ONE Swedish submarine.
Just to be clear here: The reason why are we talking about Greenland so much is because Trump didn't ruled out taking Greenland forcefully. Orange man went from USA president that would never go to war to president that is ready to steer USA into another oil war...
Nice try, but the US is Broke, and will not be taking on any Future Wars unless it is of an absolute Emergency nature. The US cannot continue to fund wars that go on for decades - and there is much to correct and take care of here in the USA. It is all propaganda that Trump would invade Greenland - and and many in this comment stream lap that propaganda up. Trump is a negotiator, and is quite anti-war. And the American people are frankly anti-war.
US president that would never go to war -> starting nonsense conflicts with allies, the orange man is off his gourd.
In 1380, Norway entered into a union with Denmark under the Danish crown, which meant that Greenland became part of the Danish-Norwegian union. This Union was later split up, Norway went to Sweden, Greenland to Denmark.
Greenland is not for sale. Neither is Denmark or Canada or the Panama Canal, I hear.

Everything is for sale for the right price.
Maybe its time to ditch USA and be more indipendent by our own?
I believe Canada should be trading more with the EU. Now that Trump is starting with his tariffs on day 1..
What does annexing Greenland, Canada, the Panama Canal, and renaming a mountain in Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico have to do with lowering costs and reducing illegal immigration or anything he ran on?
Nothing - these are other topics to address - icing on the cake!😅
to play devil's advocate...
if US got control of Greenland and its shorelines were indeed packed with rich and useful rare minerals...that means cheaper cost for thing like computer chips etc.
cheaper costs of chips and other such important resources means cheaper prices for companies to transport these things, which means cheaper prices for consumers which means lowered costs.
if the US got control of Canada, then the US could more effectively handle illegal immigration through the northern part of the country. it would also mean the same as with Greenland in terms of resources...more resources = cheaper prices for American citizens.
if the US got control of the Panama Canal, then the US could establish a military presence there and control any flow of migrants coming from South America into North America through Central America. they could also better control passage of goods and things from other foreign countries and exercise certain types of taxation. so, the control of the panama canal could theoretically mitigate what eventually becomes illegal immigration and gain a small economic bonus through taxes or whatever benefits the panama canal would offer...which obviously would bolster the american economy
not to mention that all of these offer strategic military benefits to the united states as a whole and gives it more leverage to make diplomatic deals, enforce sanctions, tariffs or whatever else...all of which would help the american economy.
so yeah...
of course it's possible that these machinations of mine are just holistically impossible as i really just rattled off a bunch of suppositions that i think might happen just based off of common sense, and in reality would not result in anything from the acquisition of those things. but....i doubt benefits wouldn't come from control over more land since the ownership/access to land with an abundance of resources has always led to an increase in the power of the country that has said ownership/access.
@nicelypenn I understand your point, but none of the countries are interested in selling their land or giving up their lands and have said so numerous times. Annexing these lands will NEVER happen. My question still remains. What does this have to do with his campaign promises?
It may also be acstrategy of throwing fogs: Trump wanted to be elected to avoid jail, and promised everybody, what they wanted to hear and he can't fulfill that what he promised. And now he Talks of Greenland and so on, themes he didn't mention before elected.
And maybe he's really that crazy?
Ablenkungsmanöver, neues Aufregerthema, da er seine Wahlversprechen nicht erfüllen kann? Er wollte wohl gewählt werden, um nicht eingesperrt zu werden.
Someone needs to tell trump that China and Russia are talking to all these countries. If he knew thats how they did it (its true) he would stop with the public bullshit.
Yes dumb wit. Trump knows China and Russia are talking to Greenland. That's the point. If they get a foothold there and exploit the vast resources, then the west is done. If they choose to invade, who will the Europeans run to. Oh, that's right, the United States. It's called political chess.
100% we need a united front to face China and Iran and Russia
This all so ridiculous. Trump has put the world in great distress. Is that the job of a President? He's a villain not a hero. Think about it, please.

My "convicted felon" can beat your "prosecutor" any day of the week (across the board, I might add!!). Remember that, each time you call Mr 47 a "convicted felon", LoL 🤣🤣🤣
The job of a President is to serve his country. If you had an ounce of geostrategic thought in your head, you'd see why America would benefit greatly from Greenland and vise versa. And by the way, this kinda stuff happens all the time, most politicians just keep these discussions behind closed doors.
Greenland belongs to the native greenlanders, currently an autonomous Danish region. It will be defended in the samevway as if any other NATO member is attacked. I doubt the Grernlanders would want to become US citizens so you can plunder their country in the same way you plundered and commited genocide on native Americans. Also look to Gaza to see how the US, and it's allies deals with others.
Why do USA continue to deny they are the last colonial empire.

The problem is when Trump says stupid things like this, it makes Russia, China etc. think that they can do whatever without consequences.. In a time like this where Russia and China are beating the war drums it's more important than ever to work together. Also Greenland is not Denmark's to sell, Greenland want independence which is not the same as being another state in America.. America has had access to Greenland since WW2 - Pituffik/Thule air base and other military instalations, so it has nothing to do with ''national security'' it's all about economics - a potential gas line going from America via Greenland to Europe, national resources, and shippings lanes in the arctic. And don't forget Trump's bruised ego when the Danish PM - Mette Frederiksen, said that it was an absurd idea that Trump/America wanted to buy Greenland in 2019, which it is, narcissists don't deal well with rejections...

As an American I think Europe is capable of defending itself and the 100000 American troops in Europe should be brought home and deployed as needed with congressional approval to the US Mexico and Canadian borders. The US should leave NATO. The US should end funding and weapons to Ukraine. The US should concentrate on doing good in the world and only use force when absolutely necessary. There are 700 million people who are hungry everyday. 2.2 billion people do not have clean water. These are solvable problems if the developed countries work together. The US should solve it's own healthcare issues then with other countries cooperation insure everyone in the world has at least basic healthcare starting with children.
Europe should stop taking refugees from American wars and sacrificing the lives of its people in American wars.
Europe should stop screwing over its economy by banning Russian gas just because America said so.
Absolutely. NATO is a relict of the cold war.
As a European I agree

Why the USA have decided to vote for the opposite is beyond the world's comprehension. Maybe Trump, Musk & Putin have a plan to invade Europe? The signs seem to suggest this?
@@BM-uk3sh He thinks attacking Denmark is a bad idea. Thats how he "failed". Do you think its just awsome to attack Denmark - one of the closest and most loyal allies ?
If by abject failure you mean someone who’s done better than Mr Trump before he even takes office then Trump is setting a new record.
The last of the adults are about to leave the leadership of the USA. Blinken is a great guy.
It's important to know secretary of state's opinion, 10 days before he's out of job.
Worst VP.
Why would any thinking person ask Tony Blinken about anything? In less than a week he won’t even have a security clearance.
Blinken is useless! Get him out!
He’s like thank goodness I don’t have to do this anymore! It’s a really good feeling!
A play for Greenland is nothing more than an Oligarchic Grift, and here’s why:
1. U.S. Military is already big in Greenland.
The U.S. maintains a significant military presence in Greenland through Thule Air Base, which features a 3,700-meter runway and over 1 million square feet of infrastructure. The base is staffed by approximately 600 troops. Annually, the U.S. allocates $150 million for operations and maintenance, with an additional $300 million expansions in 2025, including a 500-meter runway extension and enhanced radar systems. Investments in next-generation radar and satellite communications have increased surveillance range by 30%, and new facilities are being built to accommodate more personnel and equipment. The U.S. also conducts biannual joint exercises with Danish and NATO forces and dedicates 10% of the defence budget to sustainability initiatives to protect Greenland’s fragile ecosystem. These numbers highlight Thule Air Base’s pivotal role in American Arctic defence strategy amid evolving geopolitical challenges.
2. The Prize: Natural Resources
Greenland is exceptionally rich in natural resources, with climate change enhancing access to its vast deposits. It holds about 80% of the world’s untapped rare earth elements, essential for smartphones and electric vehicles, alongside 500 million tons of zinc, 200 million tons of lead, and 50 million ounces of gold. Oil and natural gas exploration is expanding, with reserves estimated at 1 billion barrels of oil and 200 billion cubic feet of natural gas. Melting ice has opened new maritime routes, reducing shipping distances by up to 40% and facilitating exports. Emerging energy sectors include geothermal with a potential capacity of 300 MW and offshore wind projects projected to generate 1,000 MW. Greenland has already attracted over $10 billion in foreign investment from multinational mining and energy companies, and the island plans to develop 25 mining projects by 2030. These numbers underscore Greenland’s pivotal role in the global economy, attracting industries eager to leverage its abundant and emerging natural resources.
Yes. And it belongs to Greenland- Denmark-Europe.
Totally a Blinken fan. Hope he continues in US Politics. In fact, he should run for President!
He was the President.
Working with others is one thing. Selling out the U.S. is another. You crossed the line.
Thanks for spending the time to create and share this content awareness🙏🏾
Blinken is so embarrassed. Well done M. Journalist.
FDJT
Greater USA. Long live President Donald Trump
Yep I hear ya #AntonyBlinken 🙏🏼✌🏽🌏
Dont ask a guy that is afraid of his own shadow anything about exhibiting strength and resolve.
good to know that "you guys" are doing everything you can for the American people ...
... the trend clearly shows the direction of "your guys' " success story ... do we wanna start in the 1950ies? 70ies? 90ies? the last 10 years? ...
PS: we can replace USA with probably every nation state in the so-called "west" ... the trend is clear - and it is no accident. Yeah: *it's systemic*
Blinken is nothing but a liar
Blinken would make the best president the USA have ever had. Sensible, intelligent, articulate - his education and experience is second to none.

Said who? Putins dog?
4:00 The most important hallmark of democracy is the cancelation of the elections in Ro 1 mo ago..
BS word salad with no substance.
Just because he uses big words you don't understand with your limited education does not mean his statements did not have substance.
I think Greenland should sell USA and Denmark to Yemen. Would not that be nice.
Right said.
Blinky will be GONE on the 20th. Ignore this criminal behind the lectern.

Yes like as in 'the blink of an eye'!😅😅
@@juandelectable I can't wait till they are all arrested and convicted for their blatant crimes.
Hope Blinken puts his hat in the ring for Demo's 2028 pres nomination.
FAILURE.
Blinken's actions and rhetoric raise significant concerns about his role in shaping U.S. foreign policy and its impact on America's standing in the world. His involvement with the group of 51 experts who dismissed the Hunter Biden laptop story as Russian disinformation reflects a troubling pattern of politicized decision-making. Such actions undermine trust in leadership and can be perceived as contrary to the principles of transparency and accountability.
As someone who wore the uniform and took an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, his actions should align with those commitments. Unfortunately, his decisions seem to contribute to the challenges facing America's global influence and the preservation of our nation's values. Constructive leadership demands accountability, integrity, and a clear commitment to the American way of life.
The world is on fire and he just stands there Blinken
Totally leading questions. Just because you oppose unbridled immigration into your country, does NOT mean one is far right FFS
Blinken should have been the runner for the white house.
Ya id agree with that
@@noelcahill6707 He would have won
@ushiefreebird7470 ya his very well spoken he should run next time
Michael Birnbaum reads the questions Blinken gives him very well
