Greenland will decide its own future and the autonomous Danish territory will not become part of the United States, its new prime minister has said. japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/03/… #worldnews #politics #us #republicans #donaldtrump #jdvance #greenland #denmark


Denmark considered US one of its closest allies. Now many Danes are refusing to buy American. “…a protest against US President Donald Trump & …his obsessive determination to take over #Greenland, an autonomous territory that is part of the Kingdom of #Denmark. Tens of thousands of Danes have joined a Facebook group dedicated to sharing advice about how to avoid American-made products and instead buy local.”

"U.S. President Donald Trump hinted he could use #MilitaryAviation force to take over #Greenland — in the latest sign of #Washington's fixation with the autonomous territory in the Kingdom of #Denmark.

“We’ll get Greenland. Yeah, 100 percent,” Trump told NBC."

“Hans Christian Andersen told the unforgettable tale of the naked emperor. In Greenland what we saw was American imperialism with no clothes. Naked and vain.”
—Timothy Snyder, The Imperialism Has no Clothes

“As with everything Musk-Trump does, however, the cui bono question about imperialism in Greenland is easy to answer: Russia benefits. Putin cannot contain his delight with American imperialism over Greenland. In generating artificial crises in relations with both Denmark and Canada, …the Trump people cut America loose from security gains and create a chaos in which Russia benefits.”

“We really do have a problem taking responsibility. The United States has fallen well behind its allies and its rivals in the Arctic, in part because members of Vance’s political party denied for decades the reality of global warming…”

“There are only a couple hundred Americans at Pituffik where once there were ten thousand; there is only that one US base on the island [Greenland] where once there were a dozen; but that is American policy, not Denmark’s fault.”

“Greenland, Denmark, and the United States have been enmeshed in complex and effective security arrangements…for the better part of a century. Arctic security, an issue discovered by Trump and Vance very recently, was a preoccuption for decades during and after the cold war.”
—Timothy Snyder, The Imperialism Has no Clothes

”It takes some patience to unwind all of the nonsense… When Vance says that Denmark is not protecting Greenland…, he is wishing away generations of cooperation, as well as the NATO alliance itself. … The threat in the Arctic…is Russia… But right now the United States is supporting Russia… No one is doing more to contain the Russian threat than Ukraine.”

“It’s cold as shit here! Nobody told me.”

That's how unprepared and uneducated the *Vice President of the USA* is.

For a supposedly important mission. To a region in *checks notes* the Arctic circle. Doesn't anyone brief them?

Don't call it a clown show. Clown school is actually thorough and tough. Clowning needs talent and effort.

Right, that’s it, Yankees out!

At least the Greeks had the common courtesy to hide inside a horse.

MAN #maga people are slow on #news aren't they?

I still have people claiming that #greenland itself wants to be part of the #usa despite them stopping #JDVance and #ushavance from coming, then every single Greenlander ALSO saying no after the travel agency said no, and his reps went house to house BEGGING for someone to let them, and they also said no.

I didn't know you could be MORE CLEAR and still not be heard.

These people... UGH!

Putin says Greenland 'nothing to do with Russia' in nod to US

> In Murmansk, the largest city north of the Arctic circle, President #VladimirPutin vowed to "strengthen Russia's global leadership in the Arctic", while warning that "geopolitical competition in the region" was intensifying

> The first example he gave was #DonaldTrump's idea to acquire #Greenland

> But from the Kremlin leader there was no criticism of his #US counterpart bbc.com/news/articles/c7432451… #Russia #Denmark #Danmark


“ #Greenland's Democrats and three more parties announced a government coalition agreement on Friday, just hours before a visit by #JDVance to the Arctic island that #Trump has expressed interest in acquiring”
- reuters.com/world/europe/green…


#Greenland will form a new coalition government that comprises all but one party elected to its legislature, a show of political unity in the face of ongoing takeover threats from United States President Donald #Trump.

So #ushavance is now NO LONGER going to #greenland as the travel agency involved said she is not welcome with them.

Then #vance had reps canvas house to house, and business to business trying to find a place for them to stay, and not a single person let them.

I love this, as #maga folks were talking up a storm about how Greenland wanted to be part of the #usa

Now the trip is cancelled, and there is no way to spin it that they do want this!

EVERYONE said no.

Lol.

“American representatives have been walking around [Greenland], practically knocking on one door after another in the past few days to ask if people might be interested in a visit from the Vice President’s wife [Usha Vance]. Everywhere, the answer was the same: ‘No, thanks.’"

~ Jesper Steinmetz, TV2, quoted by Jon Cooper

lol apparently the reason JD Vance's trip to #Nuuk was canceled was that they could not find a single person in #Nuuk who wanted to receive an in home visit from the vice president's family.

According to Danish TV they literally knocked on every door in the entire city (not that hard, there's only ~5,000 houses) trying to find someone who wanted an in home visit from Usha Vance... and 100% of the Greenlanders said no.

After the US has sent a military plane to Greenland with bullet proof cars for driving around Usha Vance, Danish Prime Minister Frederiksen says:

“This is an unacceptable level of pressure from the US, and we will push back. […] The Americans cannot claim, this is a private visit, and no one can read this independently of the statements from them, on their desire to annex another country. […] The future of Greenland is defined by the people of Greenland and no one else.”

The Whale Raft by Estebane Rezkallah

Attracted by the smell of flesh, polar bears feast on the carcass of a whale in east #Greenland. More than 60 bears were recorded in the area and their behaviour was almost benevolent, possibly due to the abundant food.

Very good piece on the choices being voted on in the #Greenland elections.
As always @financialtimes coverage is top notch when it comes to #geopolitics.

Greenland will hold a parliamentary election on March 11 with independence a key campaign theme after U.S. President Donald Trump said he wants control over the world's biggest island. FRANCE 24's Sharon Gaffney speaks to Matt Qvortrup, Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for European Studies at the Australian National University. He says that Trump is behaving towards Greenland like Saddam Hussein did with Kuwait.

... #Rejoin the #European economic block.
#Brexit, a project by international rightwing organizations, was an utter failure. To withstand a sandwiched position by/a an imperialist, expansionist #Kremlin and a likeminded #Washington (#Panama, #Canada, #Greenland,) a renewal of the "ever closer union" is of the essence.

#EU processes take far too long in this rapidly changing,...


#Greenland’s #glaciers are falling apart faster than expected
New 3D study shows meltwater driving fissures deeper into the glacial ice.
The study found that crevasses are expanding more quickly than previously detected, and somewhere between 50-90% of the water flowing through the Greenland Ice Sheet goes through crevasses, which can warm deeply submerged portions of the #glacier and increase lubrication between the base of the #icesheet and the bedrock it flows over.
