Probably because there’s no site at usembassy.gov. The embassy of the US in London is at uk.usembassy.gov while the Greenland consulate is at U.S. Consulate Nuuk - U.S. Embassy & Consulate in the Kingdom of Denmark
Any precedent for declaring that a newly discovered petroleum deposit is a “vital national interest”?
If the Greenlanders want to evict these guys but don’t have sufficient police to do so, they could always ask Denmark for some help.
Given the current administration’s recent performance in Iran & the Gulf of Hormuz, I’m not convinced they are capable of actually pulling off an invasion anywhere. Militarily capable of blowing shit up, yes, but everything else, laughable.
And of course between Venezuela and Iran, the administration has exhausted the troops, used Navy vessels beyond the point where major overhaul is needed and used up the stockpiles of missiles. So I’m not sure there’s anything left with which to invade Greenland.
The drilling company has been blocked.
Thanks @Dewey_Finn and @Czarcasm.
What’s funny is (from @Smapti’s article) “…Jeff Landry, the hard-right Louisiana governor whom Trump named as his envoy to Greenland. He said after a visit that oil supposedly lying under Greenland could ease the energy crisis caused by the US attack on Iran.”
Or, we could, you know, have never attacked Iran…
Still not as dumb as the guy who proposed that annexing Greenland would mean Red Lobster could bring back Endless Shrimp.
If that doof was along on the Turkey trip, he would’ve been invited to the decoy plane with Orangeboy! “Endless shrimp and turkey?” thought Donny…
I’m not sure it’s ever been openly declared as such, but certainly “What’s good for big business is good for America” has long driven military (and paramilitary) activity in foreign countries for a long, long time.
Now trump wants to use military force against the bond market.
I’m going to edit the preview tile wording for accuracy and succinctness:
The president, in a rather literal sense, just doesn’t know what he’s talking about
when it comes to economic policies he really ought to understand.
His actual statement is weird.
(Reporter: The yields have come back up since then. Have you talked to [Treasury Secretary Scott] Bessent about another type of intervention.?
Trump: The ultimate intervention is our military. And if we have to use that, we will.)
So we’re going to deploy the troops in the bond market now?
He says the most batshit stuff every day. Remember when we would spend a week talking about Obama saying there were 57 states? Ah, those were saner times.
A week, you say. I recall that being brought up for years
I think it’s a sign of Trump’s increasing dementia. He didn’t understand or didn’t hear the question but rather than ask for it to be repeated, he latched onto “intervention” and said what he usually associates with that, which is the military. If someone comes back and asks him why he said he would deploy the military against the bond market, he’s going to say fake news because he doesn’t remember any of this.
Remember the tan suit?
“I was being sarcastic.”
Nonsense! The Orange One is still great friends with Kim Jong-Un and Vladimir Putin. They seem to share many of the same ideals.
In common parlance, this is known as “theft”, and more specifically, “grand larceny”. In international parlance, this is known as “an act of war”.
If it happens, this will do wonders for America’s reputation around the world, which is already in the toilet.
