They finally woken up then. Europe needs recall their ambassadors and not let Trump set foot in their countries or his plane cross their airspace.
I like Canada’s threat, cutting off the gas supply to their southern neighbour states.

It is nonsense. Canada isn’t going to cut energy exports arbitrarily. For that sector, modelling suggests that Americans would pay about $1.03 (!) for every $1 of tariff on electricity, and $0.98-0.99 on oil and gas.
Well that might be the cover story but if you look at ICBM flight trajectories…
The US already has a base in Greenland, and closed some they did have.
It’s a little from column A and a little from column B.
Toe in the door then.
Interestingly, if you have money (and there is the mantra that money makes money) buying a house and citizenship of Greenland right now might be quite profitable. Buying a stack of land could be very rewarding. Ah, how I dream.
Sort of gives the lie to the notion that a different arrangement is needed. Pituffik (used to be Thule) is in the NW, the US shuttered the southern ones because they were no longer seen as useful. The central ones were closed when NORAD moved from the DEW line further north. Pituffik is not actually part of that newer NWS line, but it completes the arc.
Musk’s money will sort it out. Wonder how many strippers and prostitutes he could afford for our orange overloard?
You can’t really buy land in Greenland, other than the small parcels on which houses are built and similar ones that are created around that purpose. Virtually the entire island is now held in common by the Greenland Inuit. Leases are possible, but it is not a straightforward process. Trump’s desire to ‘buy Greenland’ runs right into the ara of the Greenlanders centuries’ long effort to get out from under European colonialism. It isn’t Denmark’s to sell.
To be honest, I am not sure any of these threats and news about them belong in this thread. The American circus cannot be said to be an American circus when the debate is over annexing foreign lands. This is global now really.
Wonder if he’ll try “Here’s some money and we can relocate you to some prime land in New Mexico” Wouldn’t surprise me.
That worked out so well for the Cherokee…
I know, I’ve driven extensvely in those areas. The reality of it is heart breaking.
…and sadly other indigenous populations. Emma on Majority Report mentioned this article. Thought I’d share.
We need a 
reaction…
At the going rate, I’m really surprised that Trump hasn’t already talked about annexing Mexico as well…
What a guy.
