- perpetuallunch 2mo agoWhat’s Greenland going to do? Make a strongly worded statement? They’re kinda out of options.
- 0cf8612b2e1e 2mo agoSeize the equipment and people.
- kakacik 2mo ago... and expect the executive branch to be maduro-ed away into some secret cia torture place or straight Guantanamo
- gwerbin 2mo agoIt's an open question. Will Europe rally behind Denmark in WW3 NATO vs USA, or will we see transatlantic appeasement?
- brazukadev 2mo agoThere is a negative chance of Europe going to war against the USA
- XorNot 2mo agoSeriously that's the most likely outcome here. Everyone on the ground gets detained and deported. And loses a bunch of money.
- 1over137 2mo agoHow do you figure they are out of options?! There are many steps between mere statements and actual war. Economic sanctions for one.
- scottLobster 2mo agoThe TACOs have never been unilateral, you need some sort of pain they care about. The bond market spiking interest rates contained the worst of the tariffs, SCOTUS rulings have curtailed some of his more egregious abuses, protests and their fallout (innocent people getting killed) helped to contain ICE. Denmark and/or Greenland needs to seize those containers, keep them under armed guard, and then give Greenland Energy a reasonable deadline to come and retrieve them or else they'll be destroyed.
- tremon 2mo agoI don't see the contradiction. "Who's going to stop me?" implies that the expectation is for no one to stop him. But when someone eventually does, it's TACO time.
