Comment on Trump says U.S. will 'get Greenland,' military force may not be needed but not ruled out
HorreC@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoBut I thought if there was no reason (I.E. greenland isnt doing shit) does the pres still get authority to start a territory takeover (also I thought all states or commonwelths had to vote to enter into the USA).

The US has a track record of manufactured reasons to invade a country. Look for some incident in the near future which the US blames on Greenland.

It would still take the house to back it no? Unless they have like look Greenland is blowing up our ships and then everyone would know it for the sham it is, and I would assume if not NATO but EURO would back Greenland in its defense.

They could stop it, but they are happy not only doing nothing, but actively giving up their own power.

I mean, that’s what this and every time you see a conservative on TV talking about Greenland are doing, they’re greasing the wheels before the proverbial weapons of mass destruction card gets played.
