Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Yeah, so regardless if the US actually does it or not, if I was Denmark and Canada, I would be investing heavily in defending territories marked by Putin.

It's so weird that Putin would communicate his plan with Trump, but at least he did it and the rest of the world can predict what he will do next.

If Putin gains control of Canada and Greenland, the Artic becomes his "Panama Canal."

Ukraine gives him more control over the black sea.

He's trying to take control of trade routes.

As a Louisiana resident disgusted with what’s happening I make a solemn promise to the people of Greenland and Canada: when it gets below 40°F (4°C, 277K, 500° Rankine, etc.), I will just lay down and die before I fight someone. I was in Montreal in February once and I would have surrendered immediately had someone said the POW camp has mittens.

You'll lie down and die in shorts and a hoodie weather?

No. I’ll be unjustifiably confident and maybe I’ll live or die. But there’s actually a difference between regular cold and cold that hurts even if you’re wearing fancy pants.

Greenland, no sane American wants to take your country from you. Sorry our "president" sucks. He's an idiot. Or malignant narcissistic sociopath.

Or, most likely, both.

Than crowd of protestors is basically half of Greenland's population...
