Greenland is self governing when it comes to internal matters. Unless Trump sends in actual soldiers there’s not much that Denmark can do without violating Greenland’s self governance. Greenland just needs to send the police and stop them.
Finally. We finally get to hear the “we can’t do anything” reasons from the European liberals that those of us on the left have been critizing internally in America with American liberals. It’s amazing how similar these arguments for inaction are. “Follow the rules while they violate them” is not going to stop American fascism.
It’s funny because the European liberals really loved to grandstand on their superior democracy against America and the failures of American liberalism in the face of fascism. But, really, the European liberals have significantly more in common with American liberals than they’d like to admit. They will roll over and ask for “just one more Injunction” and ultimately do nothing to stop it either.
When a foreign actor is violating the territory of a member of the European Union and your response is essentially “not our problem”. You’re opening the door for the same creeping fascism that the American liberals have allowed.
Focus on what you CAN do. If you are just listing of reasons for why nothing can be done you are no different than the useless American democrat party.
You have to stop this at the first step. And Greenland isn’t the one blocking Europe from doing something. America is doing something illegal. Europe either organizes to stop this “small” expansion now. Or you wait and wait until it becomes too big to ignore and too big to actually do anything against.
Greenland is not a separate EU member though. It is part of the kingdom of Denmark, but was given self government by Denmark to make them stick around after the colonisation and not go independent.
It goes even further, Greenland is not an EU member, even though Denmark is a member. Greenland has some association with the EU as a member of the EU’s overseas countries and territories.
All the Europeans that keep telling us to “do something” about Trump wanna show us how it’s done?

What if Greenland asks?

The funniest thing they can do is just be boring about. Fine the company then seize their equipment if they refuse to pay.
Pretty much every EU member is “self-governing”. And unless I misread and that’s a Greenland-based company this is an international matter.
It’s a Texas company named “Greenland Energy”.
The Guardian article that was the source had better coverage of what’s happening

Can’t they just ask Denmark to do it then?
All the Americans that kept telling us about their glorious 2nd amendment wanna show us how to deal with it?
Like 4 people have tried to shoot Trump at this point.
Those are the ones who vote for Trump tho
