    The Greenland government’s statement said it “would not be proportionate” to demand the equipment be removed.

    Have they learned nothing? Trump will keep taking more, inch by inch, until he feels consequences. His poll numbers are at historic lows, and he is busy with Iran, now is the time to stand up to this menace.

        This so strongly feels like the obvious play. Seize the equipment, let them buy it back, require payment for delivery outside of the country. If they haven’t bought it back within 3 months, auction it off to someone else

      No it wouldn’t be proportionate.

      They should fuckind seize the equipment, expell all the deciders involved on site, and ban all senior managers of that company from entering the country again.

      We all know the US is a fascist country and will continuously push for more power over everyone else in the world. You aren’t all that special for knowing this. The bigger question is what should be done about it?

      It’s a funny thing when people say they know better than everyone else but at the same time have no idea what to do.

        I notice YOU didn’t outline any answers, bub. …but i’m just teasing you.

        It sucks being in the US and trying to fight against fascism. There are no easy answers. I could go out and do something that would cost me my life and still have no effect - and as I don’t believe in the afterlife, this is all we get. I would be willing to sacrifice myself if it would actually make a difference that made it worth it, but it wouldn’t.

        Internally, I don’t think we can fix this problem. But thanks to our military, it makes it incredibly unlikely anyone else can help us.

        We’re hardly unique, though. Look at the shitshow of Russia. They are falling apart as a country and STILL nobody will take care of the problem because they have nukes.

        And so many countries are on the verge of fascism rising. My only hope is that Europe will see fascism in the US and stand up stronger against it while they still can.

        My main hope with Greenland is that Trump is so fucking inept that he won’t manage to actually accomplish anything. Like with Iran.

        The US is not a fascist country. The Trump administrations have been and are fascist, especially the current one. And the reasons many people voted for this is because they’ve been manipulated by political propaganda into believing Trump was the right choice. And the incentives of capitalism and the ineptitude of the democratic party aren’t helping.
