Pentagon wants to increase naval, special operations capabilities on Greenland

Next week: Trump fumes as Denmark claim they've downed 4 UFOs off its coast. "We don't allocate rescue resources to pieces of junk" their Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen remarked in the matter. US military search and rescue efforts continue for 4 Black Hawks

Special Ops: McDonalds Menu

Maybe finish one of the other things you started first.

I know you’re making a special military operation joke, but “special operations” is a real military term

He wants it because he said he wanted it and got told no. He doesn't take nos very well.

With how Iran is holding out, I'm feeling confident that Europe can beat us.

Let's be honest, it's the majority of Congress that's waging war with the world because they're all morons. They have the power to stop it but the Republican majority wants war

He is a moron, but the various things he's been doing are too neat a package to merely dismiss as idiocy. Virtually everything he's been doing over the past decade has been inexplicable, unless you consider the Russian perspective. Hes a Russian asset. Its plain as day to anyone who's looked into his past business dealings. Russia conquered the US without firing a single shot.

It's clear he is more interested in annexing Canada and Greenland, but Benny Yahoo grabbed him by the balls and said no we're going after Iran or else the videos go public

just like america eventually returned the panama canal to panama, america agreed that denmark would control greenland. and trump hates those decisions. he wants to undo that agreement even if it means war with our former allies (and they are preparing for that possibility).

I really think he must have watched that movie with Gerard Butler.

Sadly, ten-ish years ago, it would have been a breeze to ask Denmark if it’s okay if we increase our military footprint in Greenland. They would have very likely said, “yes, no problem.” But because our country is run by idiots, this whole process will be excruciating for all involved.

Every country needs to realise that the US is not an ally but an extortionate bully.

Not just this administration, at least half the citizens as well voted for this or didn’t vote so it’s almost guaranteed you’ll get another absurd administration voted in the future

They don't. Reporting has come out that when Trump was threatening to invade last year, the Danes sent an elite military unit with blood and live ammunitions, and orders to fight til the death and blow up the runways should the Americans invade (blood in the event they needed to provide transfusions in the field). They were hoping the spilling of allied, Danish blood would backfire so fantastically that America would be shamed to move forward with actual seizure of the territory. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/20/world/europe/denmark-blow-up-greenland-runways-us-invasion.html

Exactly. Trump is Daniel Plainview in There Will Be Blood. I have a competition in me. I want no one else to succeed. I hate most people. I’ve built my hatreds up over the years, little by little..

Is US a true dictatorship now, where are checks and balances? Iran war isnt even finished, this is asking for systemic military collapse!

Apparently they sent in special forces to set up remote explosives and other ways to disable the runways while this was all going down

Unfortunately USA are a bunch of unreliable, greedy d*** wads. Everything they do is to benefit them and belittle others. Why would anyone want more of their shit?

Welcome to the art of the deal, where the only thing that matters is how much you’re willing to pay Trump.

"I am disinclined to acquiesce to your request."~Greenland/Denmark

Not just this administration 

Can you spell Trojan Horse?

It is a double-edged sword. If they refuse, they give Trump fuel to claim they must have Greenland. If they accept, it is a potential Trojan horse. They are letting them get in easy way and establish the base.

Realistically theres nothing Denmark CAN do to stop this. and simutaneously, theres nothing you can get from taking Greenland, atleast without massive effort to allow resource extraction. This is why Greenland isn't the natural industrial hub of 2026. This will however, bring about questionable issue like: the total collapse of NATO because no one forsaw a member state invade another member state.

I don’t think Vance has a shred of participation in any planning. He’s just there to defend and justify insane/idiotic choices made by King Shit. Can you actually imagine Trump asking him for advice? Vance is basically a Salacious Crumb.

You forgot the Trump in front of the Epstein TRUMP-EPSTEIN FILES!

Treats the country like the diaper he shits in really.

Or about 20 smaller bullies. I think this is what’s going to end up happening. He is opening so many fronts that he is going to break us.

The ol Trump special: rename your defense department to Department of War.. and also start the Board of Peace

Denmark and Greenland has from the get-go been open to expanding US presence in Greenland, as it has always been an option in the deal made between the countries back in 1951. But for some reason Trump has chosen to ignore that ever since he started demanding the Island for security reasons, and now he'll properly spin this as some great victory, even though nothing has changed on paper.

Seriously?  Didn’t the US just c*** all over them and act like Greenland was ours to take whenever we felt like it?  Now we’re looking for cooperation and expanded military presence.  If this were fiction, the editor would strike the whole thing as too ridiculous to be believable.  

Denmark and Greenland should just string out the negotiations for a few years. Come up with spurious details, niggle over infrastructure issues like water and sewer, and tag team obstruction so at one meeting Denmark says no to a fine point but Greenland accepts, then vice versa for the next meeting.

Ah just like greater Israel.

3 areas = Northern 1/3 of Greenland, Central 1/3 of Greenland and Southern 1/3 of Greenland. And Greenland to be renamed Trumpland. /s

Tell that to Mike "Angry Bottom" Johnson

I keep saying that he doesn’t make any decisions. He’s everyone’s useful idiot.

"the world should deal with our bullshit, because we can't be bothered"

They have a presence in greenland. They have had one for decades.

If you read your history a bit more thoroughly, you'll take into account that rise took 8 years, and was resisted every step of the way until the Nazis literally locked members of the chancellory out to get the vote to give Hitler unilateral power passed. Not to mention the tons of people who left Germany during those 8 years. Cowards? No. People trying to save their lives and the lives of their family members. Fantasies about a popular uprising seizing control back in large countries are a pipe dream given modern tech and general apathy about governance. The US had a rabid anti-semite as Sec of State who scaled back staff in the region to make visas almost impossible to obtain. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_U.S._and_the_Holocaust I also suggest The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich for the dirty details.
