US imperial ambitions directed at an EU member were met with coordinated diplomatic pushback and explicit warnings against altering borders by force

Snip:

Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen also responded on the same day through social media, issuing a blunt warning.

“That’s enough now,” he wrote, followed by a firmer rejection saying “No more pressure. No more insinuations. No more fantasies of annexation.”

Nielsen emphasized that Greenland remains open to engagement but set clear limits, saying “We are open to dialogue. We are open to discussions,” adding that any talks must take place “through the proper channels and with respect for international law.”

The dispute centers on Trump’s repeated claims that Greenland should become part of the US, a position he reiterated while speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One and in a separate interview with The Atlantic.

    Said also:

    “We are not in the situation where we are thinking that a takeover of the country might happen overnight,” Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen said at a news conference in the capital Nuuk.

    “You cannot compare Greenland to Venezuela. We are a democratic country.”

    lmao Greenland not being fucked is the only fantastical thinking I’m seeing on display

      Certainly. Greenland has a very small population (only around 60,000), most of which live in small settlements near the island’s coasts. It would not be able to put up any serious resistance to a US imperialist invasion.

      What’s interesting geopolitically is how this would effect Washington’s relationship with its EU puppets. Greenland is a large chunk of EU-controlled territory. The US puppets in Brussels would be super pissed to have it taken from them. Such a move could potentially play a role in causing some kind of split between Washington and its continental European puppets.
