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.

Thousands are expected to demonstrate across Denmark and Greenland on Saturday against US President Donald Trump’s plans to take over the Arctic island. The demonstrations, organised by Greenlandic groups, follow Trump's warning Friday that he "may put a tariff" on countries that oppose his plans to acquire the autonomous territory of Denmark.

Honestly I find it a bit laughable that European countries are up in arms about something they've been doing to others for 400+ years. Denmark was sterilizing natives in the 70s. These bastions of democracy are experiencing what theyve done to others and now its a problem.

I mean fuck trump but if you were this outraged about what you did to other countries this wouldnt be happening

Seriously, all the greenlanders need to do is rename the island to Epstein's Island. Trump wont want anything to do with it.

You gotta fight stupid with stupid.

We need more protests all over Europe !

Protests legitimate the claim. Demand their politicians break diplomatic ties over the issue.
