We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s nice, Donald. Time for bed.

In fact it says the opposite. Basically that the US recognizes Greenland as a self governing land, to respect their borders, and reaffirmed that nothing has changed.

Journalists have been asking Danish and Greenlandic politicians about this and they just keep saying 'read the agreement', so I encourage everyone to do just that because there's nothing about Greenland being a gift to the US in it.

Lol! I guarantee you, Trump never read it. Someone just told him, "Yes, this means we own it now", just to shut him up.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 23 points 8 hours ago

it's basically exactly the same as the old agreement, just with fewer allowed us military bases and more recognition for greenland as a nation. if he'd read it, he probably wouldn't have signed it

Like a dimentia patient, "no mom's not dead, she's just at the store." Whatever it takes to prevent him from bombing an ally.

And that's how he starts a war. He's a moron and people are.afraid to tell him the most basic things

[–] Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca 10 points 8 hours ago

To be fair he's also incapable of processing the most basic things.

That's what they told grampa dementia to shut him up

I wonder what the weather is like on Planet Trump. I presume the clouds are fluffy and pink and contrast beautifully with the golden curtains and dancing tuxedo-clad sausages.

Cloudless sky with no living creatures.

That Europe gave Greenland to the US. It's right there, in the title.

[–] smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works 12 points 9 hours ago

Sure Grandpa, let's get you back to Washington.

The fuck we did!

[–] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago

No, they gave it to ME as the greatest gift ever!

Prove me wrong - what's the agreement say? Read it to me, dipshit.

[–] mefisdo_dot_info@lemmy.ca 3 points 8 hours ago

He will act as if it was his. EU should prepare accordingly. The ONLY sensible reason to have that agreement signed is to buy time. Any other thinking is delusional. I very much hope the EU political and military elites are conscious of this.

He'll say anything in the hopes some will vote for him in the mid terms when they see him as a big strong imperialist.
