U.S Will Take Greenland To Protect Global Freedom, Trump Vows (Photos) by WriterNig(op): 8:04pm On Jan 26, 2025

🇺🇸 US President Donald Trump has ridiculed Denmark’s attempts to defend Greenland with additional patrols including two extra dog sleds as he insisted America would take control of the strategically crucial Arctic island.

Denmark’s defence minister has conceded that the Nordic country has not done enough to protect its autonomous territory of Greenland, but revealed plans to spend $1.5bn on two new inspection ships, two drones and two dog sled patrols after Trump renewed his interest in the island.

“I do believe Greenland, we’ll get — because it really has to do with freedom of the world. It has nothing to do with the United States, other than we’re the one that can provide the freedom. They [Denmark] can’t. They put two dog sleds there two weeks ago, they thought that was protection,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One this weekend.

Trump held a 45-minute phone call with Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen last week, which five current and former senior European officials described to the Financial Times as fiery and confrontational.


The officials said the Danish government was in “crisis mode” after Trump took the unprecedented step of refusing to rule out military action to take territory from a Nato ally and threatened targeted tariffs against it. The US already has the sole military base in Greenland, in the north of the island.

Denmark’s military presence on Greenland is currently limited to an Arctic Command of just 75 people and equipment consisting of four ships, a surveillance plane and several dog sled patrols.

Sweet opportunity for Russia to arm Denmark, Greenland, Mexican cartels & Panama with long range weapons to strike deep inside Washington.

The US needs to get a taste of its own medicine.

The reason they think they're all powerful is because they've never had powerful bombs hitting their cities before. They've never experienced death from war on their own soil before.

They sit in their peaceful country and orchestrate violence in far away lands because they can't strike back. That time has come to an end.

5 countries now possess weapons that can reach every inch of US mainland.

You can't claim to be powerful when you've never been heavily bombarded and have your cities levelled before.

Russia have tasted wars, lost 27 million people, had their cities flattened and still won the war against the formidable Nazi Germany. And still became the 2nd, if not 1st most powerful country in the world.

If USA should continue this way. It will eventually isolate herself from the rest of the world.

The Colombians should stick to their guns.

This is a very wrong approach. Trump can’t bully the rest of the world into submission. Global resistance will start growing from here and US economy will take the hit.

Slamming 25-50% punitive tariffs on everything coming into the US from all your neighboring countries will only make the inflation situation in America worse. There is no short or long term win for the US with this approach.

Colombian president made a mistake in my opinion. Those are your citizens who entered a other country illegally. He should have accepted them the way his Brazilian counterpart did and then demand explanations through proper diplomatic channel as to why they were treated badly

The show is just getting started.


I wonder what Asiwaju will do when the flight of repatriated Nigerians approaches Murtala Mohammed Airport.


I know he will not take nonsense from Trump or allow himself to be bullied.

Not everyone is a coward. Colombia is a sovereign country.

Accepting his citizens is not cowardice; rejecting them is.

Proper diplomatic communications should have been done before rounding people up and loading them on a plane to another country. Colombia has no duty to accept just anybody US dumped on them. They need to first be sure they are Colombian citizens and vet them properly to determine how to resettle them. Again, they need to know what exactly they did wrong to warrant such harsh treatment. There are international laws on how some of these things should be done. Not this bullying approach of Donald Trump.

So Trump is willing to kill Danish Soldiers to take Greenland?

Didn’t Hitler say something similar when Germany invaded Poland

She's a foolish woman and I hope her family is ripped away from her.

We kept telling Idiots like her what would happen but they knew everything.

Her tears never complete.

Why the sudden interest in Greenland, are their Stargates there about to open.
Re: U.S Will Take Greenland To Protect Global Freedom, Trump Vows (Photos) by BondRiv: 9:18pm On Jan 26, 2025
Clown. Denmark should call his bluff. Let him invade. This is what having 750 U.S. military bases in 80 countries is all about. Conquering the world.
