Let's get the facts straight regarding Trump's newest statements about Greenland:
1) Greenland has been owned by Denmark since 1380 and is today a fully integrated but self-governing part of Denmark. Very much like Alaska is part of the USA.
2) The USA does not have any historical claims to Greenland. On contrary they have signed numerous treaties with Denmark recognising Danish ownership.
3) The USA does NOT need Greenland for national security. The USA already has a defence agreement with Denmark that allows the USA to have as much military presence as they want in Greenland. They have decided to only have 150 troops currently. Why? Because:
4) Neither China nor Russia have any presence in Greenland at all. No companies, no mining, no consulates. Nothing. And they do not threaten Greenland. The only threat against Greenland is the USA.
Denmark is a loyal NATO member.
Danish soldiers fought for the US in Afghanistan and died there.
Now Trump threatens unprovoked & unjustified imperialist aggression, just like his ideal Putin.
Trump has destroyed NATO & all Western alliances.
Trump is an enemy of the US.
Listen up, Sir Annexalot of Magadonia: Greenland isnโt your golf course. You donโt get to annex countries like tee times. Shut the fuck up and sit the fuck down, you illiterate colonizer.

๐ฉ๐ฐ๐บ๐ธ Greenlandic and Danish PMs warns Trump to show 'RESPECT'
"You cannot annex another country"
Denmark's Mette Frederiksen and Greenland's Jens-Frederik Nielsen said in a joint statement
"Greenland belongs to the Greenlanders and the US shall not take over Greenland"
Premier of Greenland statement today;
โDear fellow citizens ๐ฌ๐ฑ
Once again, we have woken up to a new statement from the American president, who has now appointed a special envoy to Greenland. It may sound significant, but it does not change anything for us here at home.
We decide our own future. Greenland is our country. We have our own democracy, our own decisions, and a strong community that stands firm. Greenland belongs to the Greenlandic people, and territorial integrity must be respected.
We are happy to cooperate with other countries, including the United States, but this must always be done with respect for us and for our values and wishes.
There is no reason for concern. We stand together, and we stand firm ๐ช
Take good care of one another as we approach Christmas ๐๐ฌ๐ฑ๐โ
๐ฎ๐น๐บ๐ธ Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni addresses Donald Trump:
โDo not expect us to be subordinates โ freedom has its price.โ
๐ฆ According to her, while many are panicking over the possibility that Trump might withdraw U.S. troops from Europe, she is not begging anyone, because this debate exposes Europeโs 80 years of complacency.
๐ โWake up, grow up, and stop pretending that U.S. protection was ever free. It always came with conditions.โ
๐ด Meloni stresses that she is not anti-American; she wants a strong alliance with the United States, but one based on respect rather than dependence. She no longer wants to receive orders from foreign bosses.
๐ โFor 80 years we entrusted our security to the United States and behaved as if it were free. It was not. The price was conditionality. Freedom has its price, and we, unlike others, have never liked foreign interference, no matter where it comes from.โ
๐ โWe have always preferred expensive freedom to very costly, yet seemingly comfortable, servitude. We must strengthen ties with the United States, but in a dialogue among equals, not from a subordinate position. Europe must finally build a NATO pillar that is equal to the American one in strength and dignity, and capable of speaking to all global powers.โ
