I personally thought he was good humored about the reaction, such as retweeting a macro image of a gold building with the word "Trump" on top, photoshopped onto the Greenland coast, with the comment "I promise not to do this to Greenland."


I too laughed at this, it was pretty funny. I can see why people took it the wrong way, though.


And, thinking about it, if there is an issue of contention regarding Denmark's share of the defense bill of our alliance, it kind of IS a concern that the overwhelming majority of Danish territory is RIGHT OFF our coast (okay, Canada's, but it's not like they count), and they don't bother paying much money to defend it. I'm pretty sure we have defense installations there, and it would be a lot simpler to own it outright, rather than have to deal with the politics of another country's autonomous territory right inside your defensive area.

This is a great point I hadn't thought about, though I've discussed the meteorological stations and missile detection outposts.

Trump was wrong to cancel the trip over this, I agree. TyrReborn - 22/08/2019 12:09:35 AM 318 Views

Disagree, but ok. TyrReborn - 22/08/2019 10:18:51 PM 293 Views
Why? Nargs - 22/08/2019 10:49:56 PM 318 Views
Because doesn't this country have enough issues without buying territory with its own problems? TyrReborn - 22/08/2019 10:58:34 PM 296 Views
