    This is the US at fault, but um, Greenland, what are you guys doing there? Anything? This isn’t wartime invasion, nor economic warfare, but something in between. Trespassing and theft if any regular person was doing it.

      This is absolutely an invasion. Just walking in & grabbing what they want because who’s gonna stop them?

      Really fucking hope Greenland shows some force, here. Strong warnings & fines are just normal business.

        Fun fact: Dr Phil’s fucking TV crew is covering these guys as a reality show.

          *Propaganda.

          They are filming propaganda. And if Greenland does what they should and physically seize the equipment and/or physically disabled it and restrict access to the location enforced through arrest Dr. Phil will try and twist that video as pretext for the USA to annex Greenland.

            How’s Dr. Phil gonna make a video if he’s in jail and the footage is in the evidence room?

        Yes, but usually spineless local politicians don’t want to cause an international incident, what is exactly what USA is counting on so they’ll salami slice more and more until there is a big blow-up with violence and things deteriorate from there.

        Hopefully Greenland is less spineless.

          It’s less about Greenland having a spine and it’s Allie’s in Europe not having a spine. If European nations would stand beside Greenland and offer support and troops America would likely back off. But Greenland should be expected to fight this on their own? I don’t think so.

          Europe not making a massive deal over this will allow the creep of American empire to control and occupy Europe more than it already does. This is a massive L for Europe and not just Greenland.

        I’d expect yes, but who’s to say local officials haven’t been bribed? Are Greenland officials immune to corruption?

      it’s also very very easy for greenland to let them invest all the money they want there and then just fly a drone up the tailpipe, over and over and over. It takes years to set this up and one night to burn it back down again.
