Greenlandic officials worry about the direction of the negotiations aimed at defusing President Trump’s threats to seize their island. But they have little leverage.

    realize his policy of making the U.S. greater again

    Why do they believe any of this crap?

    Why can’t they simply stick to the truth?

    In truth, he is making his country turn back into the 19th century, and away from all their friends and allies. He is making his people poorer and less free than they have ever been in all of their short history. And on every single day he is making a bigger fool of himself .

    Seeing how spinless and bought most European politicians are Greenland will be some US territory in a few years. They just need time to prepare the surrender.

    I don’t like the tone of this NYT article. It implies that the USA have already shown actual aggression towards Greenland and by extension Denmark, the EU and even NATO, and might do it again.

    And “Like in Iran” really isn’t a valid comparison here.

    OTOH it pisses me off that EU leaders still treat the USA as their biggest partner. I mean Greenland already did concede to US demands. Why isn’t simply ignoring him an option? It’s past time to break that old paradigm down.
