  A delusional Trump makes the preposterous claim the United States now has “permanent control” over Greenland and that Denmark has somehow agreed to this. Today was supposed to be about the Russia sanctions bill but Putin engineered this outburst of insanity instead.

  The Danish embassy in Washington had no immediate comment. Until there's a statement from Denmark and Greenland this is just more orange shit gibbon bullshit, DISTRACTION. Trump says he has a deal with Denmark to bolster US military presence in Greenland.

  I’d be shocked if this were true. The Danes hate him all most as much as we do. 46 days Trump says he has a deal with Denmark to bolster US military presence in Greenland

  Greenland is presumably strategically important to the US but not to Denmark. With global warming there is concern of increased traffic over the poles and the approach to the Americas goes through/past Greenland. There's a reason the many bases the US had in the past were closed, geographically Greenland makes for a good polar listening post, but…

  A lot of people here seem very upset and want to lecture Denmark about geopolitics without actually understanding anything about the history of the US presence in Greenland or the geostrategic of having to defend Greenland. Yes, Denmark is being conciliatory in rhetoric, but they're not actually surrendering anything. From a political and…

  Found this from the Danish PM's office. Sounds quite plain vanilla - nothing about the bombastic claims by trump. "Greenland, Denmark, and the United States are expected to sign an agreement on strengthened security in the Arctic and the North Atlantic Area next week. The 3 governments are expected to sign the agreement at the UN General Assembly…

  right now greenland and denmark have to approve any additional bases or extensions to bases. apparently this deal just removes that approval. US can consult with them but doesn't have to agree Under the new agreement, however, Denmark and Greenland would not have approval authority over additional U.S. military installations. The U.S. would…

  So far what he has mentioned in terms of security is the existing deal that was already in place which Denmark has repeated many times, the US has had the ability to place more security, but they choose to close their many bases because there was no need, no one is going to march forces across Greenland it is beyond impractical. It makes for a…

  The US has a base Pituffik Space Base, used to be called Thule Air Force Base. The US used to have many other bases around Greenland, they chose to reduce the number of bases there. Without threatening Denmark and Greenland the US could have just increased their numbers again if they wanted to.

  That spy ballon flew through the entire continental US before you even bothered to shoot it down, but I get the impression Canada cares a little less about your “security” then you think they should. Canada isn’t Greenland and you can pout and cry but you can’t bite the hand that feeds you.

  I want to see the deal first. Trump has the habit of making things up that weren't even mentioned during the talks. On the other hand the deal with Canada failed because the Americsns brought that same demand of ruling who is able to make deals with Canada at the last minute.

  This is literally nothing. They already had this and had a military presence that they scaled back long ago and always had the right to build back up. Its probably literally great for Greenland as it brings money and dumb clowns to spend money. But its literally no change.

  The US already had a near identical deal with Denmark and Greenland, but of course everyone is going to come out of the woodworks and act like this is some huge surrender and not Greenland and Denmark giving Trump what the US already had but under a new name.
