Second article on the deal: https://www.mediaite.com/media/news/trump-greenland-deals-reportedly-includes-u-s-sovereignty-over-small-pockets-of-territory/
NATO released a statement on Wednesday shortly after President Donald Trump announced he and NATO Secretary Secretary General Mark Rutte had “formed’ a “framework” of a deal on Greenland. The NATO statement came amid new reporting from the New York Times that deal may include the U.S. being given “sovereignty over small pockets” of land in Greenland.
Sounds like they’re pulling a known working trick… Offer stuff that was already available.
Cue Trump, 2027 from in his hospice bed:
“This was the worst deal, very stupid people made this deal. I call it the Biden Greenland Deal. Everyone’s saying it. It’s unbelievable.”
cough cough pooping noises
Fucking hell. 2027?
I’m naturally a pessimist. That way, I’m never disappointed.
(I’m always disappointed).
Bruh pessimism at this point looks like: god king trump on his death bed in the gold house, circa 2033 (formerly White House): then what you said.
Well, yes and no. I fear this step opens the doors for furure claims on more land there. Not saying it will be Trump, but eventually someone might start claiming more land there, because “they maintain it”, “they have military there” and “they already own parts” of the island anyway. Europe is letting US gain a foothold in Greenland. And once they get a piece, they will never let go. It’s always the case for imperialism and neofascism - especially the type that is on the rise in the US
Or the next administration can just give it back.
I hope for you that you are not that naive in your life outside lemmy.
An imperial power that remains a global hegimon giving back land that it sees as valuable… hmm…
Yea sure it will.
Oh thank f–k. I don’t think I could have handled there being a war with the US over Greenland.
Now all I have to worry about is the Online “Safety” Act and the rise of authoritarianism and the far right in my country!
