Time to send in the police, confiscate the equipment, and take the workers away for questioning.
All the Europeans that keep telling us to “do something” about Trump wanna show us how it’s done?
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.
Pretty much every EU member is “self-governing”. And unless I misread and that’s a Greenland-based company this is an international matter.
He’s literally poking them and saying “punch me”
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.
Can’t the local police just arrest them all for trespassing?
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.
They’re ignoring the toddler trying to escalate a war.
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.
I’m really glad to know that a “strong warning” was issued.
Do they not have some police or somebody who could go tell them “No” about that?
Rich people being told “no”
‘when your rich they let you do it’
So those were the alleged national security reasons… typical.
Humanity truly is fucked beyond rescue
Great, so Canada is next I guess.
There will be bloodshed if that is the case.
There’s a line from fallout tv show. “Don’t think of them as humans, think of them as Americans.”
I’m guessing cuba
Hello, EU, you there?
Greenland is not part of the EU.
Surely the kingdom of Denmark will have a plan.
Denmark only handles foreign affairs for Greenland since they are an autonomous territory. Denmark could send support but the Greenland government would have to request it.
When he invades, do you think Greenland will request it and if so do you think Denmark will come to their aid?
Denmark doesn’t have the ability to stop the US militarily from annexing Greenland, but the UN could not recognize it as belonging to the US and condemn it as an invasion.
US can’t even control some water.
I mean the UN doing something doesn’t really matter. The UN sending a strongly worded letter is a meme for a reason.
What does matter is that an invasion of Greenland would trigger NATO.
NATO would not be able to stop the US militarily since Greenland is near the US. However. it would be the end of NATO, something which Trump doesn’t really care about.
Wow
I read the article. No where does it say any drilling is starting. This is a sensationalized headline.
It is mentioned explicitly twice. You sure you read the article, chief?
Did you read the article?
Greenland Energy, a Texas-based company established just last year, is pressing ahead with the drilling plans regardless, with a company representative saying a vessel loaded with 300 shipping containers of drilling gear is due to leave Canada on 12 September, and drilling set to start in October.
