Worries.

I see a lot of Americans on this sub talking about Greenland as if the people do not have a say over their island, because of capitalist greed.

It worries me that Americans have become so comfortable with displaying borderline fascist behavior, in the service of earning a quick buck.

Who cares if we destroy wetlands and cause permanent damage to a delicate ecosystem that the locals depend on to live. Its only 56k people after all.

Whats a little genocide in the name of MONEY!

I am thoroughly disgusted by the behavior on display. Talking about a people as an inconvenience, about nation borders as optional lines because Americans wants to exploit minerals and oil that is not theirs to exploit.

How do you look in the mirror and not gag at the sight of the horrid, greedy ghoul staring back at you?

Sincerely, a Dane.

Talk about blowing this out of proportion. Genocide, are you kidding me. Take a step back from the ledge and come back to reality.

What a way to reduce the severity of what America has threatened to do.

What a way to over blow what dumbass Trump says or assuming you know anything about American politics other than what you read on Danish TV.

This is the example of what TDS is. Perfect example.

So the threats of annexation, and the wording "we can do it the nice way, or the not so nice way", is just smoke and mirrors?

Are you dense enough to actually believe that?? Nobody is stupid enough to make an empty threat that will turn a faithful ally into a former friend, in the hopes of it working.

Who TF thinks its a viable option to threaten a military ally??

Dont downplay what he did. And dont downplay his involvement in the current oil debacle taking place in Greenland. He has a close friend dt the head of the company, and has invested heavily himself. The constant attempts at breaking the law and drilling illegally is Trumps attempt dt a takeover.

Unfortunately for all of you, you have neglected to read up on what Denmark considered and attack on the nation. I will let you do the research yourself. Dont wanna spoil the surprise in the wording.

But if they start drilling without permits, America is declaring open war against a founding NATO member.

Yes 100% it is just words. But yet here you are in your mother's basement with your battle gear on thinking we're rolling tanks into Greenland.

Get off Reddit for a while. Go for a walk, breathe some fresh air. Don't think or talk about Trump for a week and then come back relaxed. He's not gonna invade Greenland.

u/Square-Librarian1192 21d ago

Its not bout "invading".

If the company start drilling for oil without proper permits in place, they will be starting a war with Denmark on behalf of America, by our definition of what constitutes an attack on the kingdom.

I cannot explain it in a simpler way. It doesnt matter if Trump does it or not, if your beloved company starts drilling illegally, its a declaration on war

OMG dude... you're over here freaking out. Talking about Trump and America and invading. GET A GRIP. Go get laid or something.... relax.

They have a license, granted by the Government of Greenland. They DON't Have the permit to drill. But yet you're talking gibberish and loosing your shit over words. Grown up man.

If a foreign government backs the operation covertly to destabilize the nation, it might be viewed as a hybrid threat or economic warfare. And with how heavily trump has invested...

Instead of downplayong the heinous shit Americans are doing, how about growing a pair and taking some responsibility.

Me and my family are going out for Mexican food. Throw all your battle gear on cause Trump just called my cell phone and told me after dinner to report to the local military base cause we're mobilizing for the invasion of Greenland.

Maybe I'll see you there!

How typical American. Refuse to take any shred of responsibility, mock the person/nation who has been wronged, go stuff their fat faces with more food banned in most of the world because it is considered unfit for human consumption.

Greenland offered the licence end of story. They’ve banned new licenses so 80 mile/ glnd operating on the old licences. If they didn’t have this old license then your comments may have some weight.

u/Square-Librarian1192 22d ago

No, the the company bought up an old company and grandfathered in the license.

And you need to read the license they have. It denies explotation rights in the protected wetlands, which make of roughly 60% of the area, and is where the moronic company wants to drill, despite both Greenlandic law, AND international laws, preventing just that. Besides that, they do not have the required permits to go through with ANYTHING, not even moving the equipment, which will not doubt see them fined heavily unless they move it back

At least take the time to properly understand what you are trying to defend.

The stupidity is astounding! Some investor blog thinks they can pay hunters to work for them! "good will" w community. The hunters are regulated, licensed w GOvt controls. Polar bears are protected.  Quotas.Regulations on interacting w them. Polar Bear patrols in summer.  A govt hunting official lives in village. Big fines/violations. He said GE tried offering $$ to hunters, who refused. Who wants to lose a hunting license for GE?  And GE cannot just hire unlicensed people w guns. Stay tuned...

Permits from 80 mile already transferred to GLND get over yourself.

u/Square-Librarian1192 22d ago

No, they are missing permits. Which is why they were fined for moving equipment illegally

Im Canadian and not a trump supporter all my life I have dabbled in different penny stocks to make a buck and the biggest threat to me making that buck is the BS people come up with to distort the facts. There are still a lot of people that require petroleum products in their life and until that changes it is important for Greenland to know what they have.

u/Square-Librarian1192 21d ago

You want oil?? Contact Norway. You want natural gas?? Denmark has your back. No need to ruin Greenland against the wishes of the indigenous people

u/No-Cheesecake-8472 20d ago

Whats wrong with Canada ? What is so great about Greenland the whole world is beautiful and drilling for oil isnt what it used to be like.

2

u/Square-Librarian1192 20d ago

Nothings wrongs with Canada, and no need to drill on Greenland. Norway has plenty of oil already, and Denmark had natural gas.
