#Elonald is trending on X. It'll bet that'll go down well.
I think the technical term for this sort of thing is “Anschluss”
Have you seen how big Greenland is? Think of all that Lebensraum!
Bet there's loads of lovely oil under all the boring snow and dumb reindeer too...
The US media falling into lockstep with the new autocratic regime. How long until they start calling him 'dear leader'?
Im looking forward to Trump trying to invade Greenland.
Either the Danes saw it coming, or they have fallen for Trumps cunning plan to boost their defence spending

I think co incidence. Trump is incapable of planning like that. He just says what he thinks is needed
They have been talking about boosting presense in the arctic for years.
danish defence minister said they have been working on this plan for months.
But the US already have their space base up there ( formerly known as Air force base) what else do they really need.
To be honest, who's going to stop him?
The EU? Is he really going to go to war with the EU and the rest of Nato?
WRT Canada maybe Trump needs to look into why the White House is white.

I'd be surprised if this is not the real reason Trump has his eyes on Greenland

Is he really going to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America? Or have I been duped??
If mad vlad can try it why can't he
I see he's misunderstood what the "special" in "special forces" actually means

Flying to Greenland on a 757 for a day trip
They are trolling all of us. Utter bell ends
Yeah, sorry but what a ****er.
The man's a complete fruit loop.
It’s terrifying watching them all cravenly cave in to the whims of a lunatic. As the Washington Post also kisses the ring, bear in mind that there is one last bastion of journalistic independence who called things absolutely right exactly 4 years ago today…
It's all getting to a fairly high level of batsh1t already, and the gibbon hasn't even been sworn in. As alluded to elsewhere, the direction of travel is fast becoming dystopian..

Have you seen how big Greenland is? Think of all that Lebensraum!
It's all down to projection systems. It's not as big as people think it is
It's about the same size as the Congo.
Do they drink as much Um Bongo though?
El shalimo.
Only if you use the dreaded Mercator and anyone still using it needs a stern talking to
Genuinely worrying signs of ‘anything Vlad can do I can do betterer’.
Greenland is the equivalent of 103 Wales.
Bet there’s loads of lovely oil under all the boring snow and dumb reindeer too…
Of course there is, Greenland is very mineral rich, which is why Diaper Don is so keen on encouraging the use of non-renewable resources, to increase climate warming, to melt the icecaps so that mining for all those wonderful minerals is easier, so that all his ultra rich industrial buddies will pay him billions and keep him in power so that they can keep making more money.
Simples.
And Don probably thinks he’ll get away with it because he’s got Putin and Xi to keep all the other nations who aren’t run by authoritarian Fascist despots busy.
Trying to follow the machinations of all these assholes is enough to drive one crazy if you let it.

Blue or Humpback?
How many red London buses is that?
Even with Mercator Greenland is still effing massive
Genuinely worrying signs of ‘anything Vlad can do I can do betterer’.
Or more bigley
But yes, the rhetoric is dangerously ramping up, and despite him rarely following through on his weird outbursts, sooner or later he's going to have/want to demonstrate he can deliver.
There are actually no words..

Even the MAGA faithful are going "really"

I've not seen those reports but you can only hope.
I was thinking that if he even did draw up plans to expand his empire, the military would refuse, and then I remembered that they invaded Grenada when it suited them. I'm expecting a false flag attack on the US base in Greenland - I'll take 1st April if anyone wants to set up a sweepstake

What an absolute ridiculous statement.
You are an absolute fool.
Here's a comparison of Australia, U.S., and Greenland at about the latitude of the U.K. Greenland is a very big chunk of land.
No wonder it's so ****in' cold, with Greenland just off Co. Cork like that. Jaysus!
Ah but that is surface area
The land mass is only ~30% of that as it's basically a large weirdly shaped island
