Personally, I applaud some of Trump's right-wing ideologies and fights.

However, his illegal planned seizure of Greenland will be his biggest mistake and that of the US. It will further cement the isolation of USA from its allies and the world in general.

Canada just struck some highly significant partnership deals with China this week. Hence cutting off the US.

Mexico is considering more diversification from the American market. Brazil is already with BRICS.

So which spine will the American international trade and partnerships leverage on if Europe is gone?

Africa? That trump sees as shithole?

Reality is that the rest of the the world want respect from their partners. US have to Taylor it's geopolitical goals along that line.
Worry about Nigeria dude

Their are all cowards and will summit to their daddy Trump .

Trump, with his character and persistence, will bring order there fairly quickly. And all of them — just watch, it will happen fast — will be sitting obediently at their master’s feet and sweetly wagging their tails,” Putin said, commenting on the relationship between the “European political elites” and Trump

Canada has been making deals with China even before Trump came to office, nothing new.
US have been trying to purchase Greenland since Truman in 1800. It's nothing new.

How can anyone support such a lunatic to the point of even voting him into power? We called him a crazy person but you guys kept cheering him "America First!" He invaded a sovereign Venezuela and was hailed and supported. Well, all I have to tell you guys is The 2nd world war happened roughly twenty years after the first. Eighty years after the 2nd world war, the world hasn't known anything like that. From all indications, Trump will gift the world a 3rd world war, all thanks to his foolish American supporters.

Trump seems to be very mentally unstable and has no regard for his so called allies. One moment, he is doing well and the next moment, he is becoming a nuisance. At the end of the day, we can all see that his appetite has only grown larger after his actions in Venezuela were allowed without being challenged. He will only keep doing more. It's a thing of shame for me that I supported such a fellow during their campaign(even though my support had no electoral value). His actions so far has just been appalling.
Naso thief dey do, if he come still and not challenged he go come again and even explore other places
Re: European Leaders React To Trump's Tariffs Over Greenland Dispute by ayoncox: 4:05am On Jan 18
The whole plan is not to buy Greenland but to force negotiation for having a base there. Usually international military bases are for Continental control of resources be it humans or rear earth. Trump wants to make record as the President who did what others couldn't do

Greenland will be taken by Russia or China anyways. Is that not clear enough. Old world order has failed and there must be a reset.

China and Russia are already have military presence in Greenland which on the border of the united states. If you were the president will you just smile and fold your arms?

China and Russia have no military presence in Greenland.

Hypocritical hypocrites!

Greenland is about to become what parts of Gaza Palestine is to thr occupation forces these hypocrites support in Palestine.

Trump has scant regard for them and even fears and respects Iran more than the whole of Europe.

Putin is bashing them in the East while Trump is doing his own from the west. EU is literally gone.
If the EU never disintegrate , Trump no go rest. He believes the union was formed to undermine the US
And will see to it that the union disintegrate

If he had asked nicely, they would have let him have bases there. The USA was part of NATO, they could have had bases there easily, because they already have bases all over Europe and it would have benefitted everyone save Russia.

Iamzik, if China and Russia already have military bases on Greenland, there would be no war in Ukraine. They don't have anything there, it's too close for comfort to USA. Remember, there was a Cold War for decades where everyone though USSR would nuke them like USA nuked Japan. Why would they let Russia encircle them like that, with that threat?

China and Russia have no military presence on Greenland. The United States has military bases on Greenland and Denmark and Greenland say they are happy for them to have more bases, but no change in sovereignity.

The French have in recent times, been speaking more english than the English; the Swedes, more actions than the Germans.

Donald Trump is tearing up global order as we know it.

World War III would be NATO vs NATO
Re: European Leaders React To Trump's Tariffs Over Greenland Dispute by Focusmind:
UK and hypocrisy! Steimer couldn't even use strong words on Trump. Everything to them is about engagements and maintaining the so-called "special relationship". Engagements with someone that doesn't care. He should have said that Europe is ready to defend Greenland at all costs. That would have been more authoritative. Trump's statements did not give room for any ambiguity. He leaves no one in doubt about his intentions. He has said it that he either takes Greenland land through peaceful means or by force. EU should equally said that either they let Greenland go through peaceful negotiations or they hold it by force. The message would have been clearer. I just want to hear one statement from the EU leaders and that statement is: "As a union, we stand in solidarity with the people of Greenland and Denmark and would help to defend any territory of EU at any cost". With this, we know that all options to defend Greenland are on the table.

Your submissions are that of my friend and university colleagues, he is currently a US soldier and has been a staunch advocate for DT before and after the elections until recently. All I do is just laugh at him, pointing out his errors. DT has totally ruined the US, but as a supporter of an idea, you won’t notice until it hits you somewhat differently.

Same thing is happening here in Nigeria. Supporters of the current president don’t care what kind of dirt comes out the woodwork as long as it doesn’t get to them, until it gets to them. “I support the president, not the constitution” nonsense!

By the way, I predicted him reintroducing taxes to those who oppose his plans!

Re: European Leaders React To Trump's Tariffs Over Greenland Dispute by Baxilexi(m): 5:36am On Jan 18
It’s unfortunate that it has come to this but truth be told, Denmark cannot protect the arctic circle region. America cannot gamble with its security by subletting parts of it to the incompetent EU. China or Russia can put up spies/intelligence equipment, sleeper cells or even partner with Greenlanders to compromise US security as we saw with Venezuela.

Greenlanders should be at the forefront of the discussion, and an economically suitable deal made. The EU should not insert themselves in the discussion.

America cannot go to war without ensuring all doors are locked. But the economic gains should be shared by all concerned parties.

Re: European Leaders React To Trump's Tariffs Over Greenland Dispute by naptu2(op): 5:36am On Jan 18
Nigel Farage is Donald Trump's friend and leader of Reform UK. He usually agrees with everything that Trump does (they are both extreme right wing).

Sir Ed Davey is the leader of the Liberal Democrats.

Nigel Farage MP @Nigel_Farage

We don’t always agree with the US government and in this case we certainly don’t. These tariffs will hurt us.

If Greenland is vulnerable to malign influences, then have another look at Diego Garcia.
https://x.com/i/status/2012582405471625604


Ed Davey @EdwardDavey

Trump is targeting us for standing with our allies, and the best you can do is ‘we’ll agree to disagree’?

Pathetic. You can always count on Farage to bootlick for Trump rather than stand up for Britain.
