We won't "take" Greenland. We will buy it from them. It'll be like the Louisiana Purchase or when we bought Florida from Spain. The Greenland Purchase.

This is the piece that will allow us to finally encircle Canada.

Fetterman somehow gets it, despite brain damage and still being a Democrat:

I believe Greenland has massive strategic benefits for the United States.

I do not support taking it by force.

America is not a bully.

Ideally, we purchase it—similar to our purchases of Alaska or the Louisiana Purchase.

Acquiring Greenland is a many decades old conversation.

— U.S. Senator John Fetterman (@SenFettermanPA) January 7, 2026

I can see trump now after his first visit to the new u.s. territory of greenland. "Its not very green" we should rename it "Trumpland".

Offer a Trilly and unlimited danishes

OR

We just take it.


Walk away with a date on the table and sleep like a baby.

Fetterman is saying what most anyone with a brain would see as how things should happen. Which means he's the only one on the left, but still.

If it were barock's idea to acquire Greenland, the enemy of this nation would be supporting the hell out of it.

All TDS.

I'd love for DJT to troll them somehow by using their TDS. It is so predictable. Perhaps he has. Any examples?

You're joking right? There's countless examples.

Every liberal was using Venezuela as a taunt that Trump wasn't willing to do what it takes to keep America safe. And then immediately accused him of Constitutional crisis and Dictatorship when he did it. Example one of 1 million.

I don't think the cash payment angle is going to work legally or practically.

Today from the Greenland members of the Danish parliament.

There's no sum of money from Donald Trump that would persuade Greenlanders to join the US, two Greenlandic lawmakers in the Danish parliament said.

Any attempt by the US president to entice the Arctic island with cash is doomed to fail and only risks pushing Greenlanders further away, said Aaja Chemnitz, one of two Greenland representatives in the Danish legislature, where she chairs the committee focused on the territory's affairs.

"No amount of money can buy our national soul," Chemnitz said in an interview in Copenhagen on Friday. "It's disrespectful to think that you can buy a people. What use is a one-off payment when your entire foundation is being torn away?"

While independence from Denmark has long been debated in the land of 57,000 people, opinion polls have shown Greenlanders are overwhelmingly against the idea of joining the US.
Aki-Matilda Hoegh-Dam, another Greenlandic lawmaker in Copenhagen, from the pro-independence Naleraq party, also ruled out entering any cash deal to become American.

"We are not a commodity to be traded as human beings," she said in a separate interview. "No matter how much money one might offer, it would still be too cheap. It is just as much about dignity."

Even if Trump floated the idea of making every Greenlander a millionaire, his aggressive rhetoric has caused unease, even fear, among the island's people about the consequences of breaking with Denmark too soon. That concern was reflected in elections in March last year, when three out of four Greenlandic voters backed parties favoring only a slow move toward independence. Chemnitz's Inuit Ataqatigiit party is among them.

Chemnitz said Greenland's culture, identity, language and way of life would be "completely eroded over a very short period of time" if the US were to gain control of the island.

"Unlike the US, Greenland is not a capitalist society," she said. "For us, it is about community, about our families and social ties. We live in harmony with nature and want to preserve that way of life."

Chemnitz also accused the Trump administration of misrepresenting conditions in Greenland to support his narrative, including understating the island's population and falsely claiming that large numbers of Russian and Chinese warships operate in nearby waters.

Not a good analog as the Danish government was seriously strapped and out marketing the islands for sale to any takers.

Ditto for the Louisiana Purchase . . .Napoleonic France was happy to part with land as the proceeds would help with the impending renewal of war with Great Britain.

The Americans were just welcoming in motivated sellers in each case.

Literally no one outside of a few MAGA blowhards consider this a reasonable concept. Greenland doesn't want to be sold. It doesn't even want independence from Denmark at the moment. Most Republican Senators find the idea idiotic.

Everyone has a price.

The monarch insists that the citizens would not accept 100k to transfer citizenship from the monarchy. Interesting.

I respect their desire to remain status quo, but I view this as normal, opening round bluster in any negotiation.

No clue, but seeing as how Trump doesn't really troll when it comes to Greenland, that tells me he's very serious, and in pure business mode, when it comes to this.

Its funny because Denmark simultaneously says its greenland's decision but then its really says its Greenland and Denmark's decision.

What they really mean is its just denmarks

It's Greenland's decision if they want to stay with Denmark
It's Denmark's decision if Greenland wants to leave Denmark

Easy peasy!

TRUMP: "If we don't do it, Russia or China will take over Greenland, and we're not going to have Russia or China as a neighbor. Okay?"

So… what's the hard way then. And what does it mean to say we're going to do something about Greenland whether they (Greenlanders) like it or not. I view it as a military or economic threat to Greenland

As 70 people starred on the Venezuela thread "trump means what he says".

He will obviously nuke Denmark and execute any Danish sympathizers in the streets of Nuuk... In your delusional dreams anyway.

I mean seriously nobody is going to actually stop us if we take it by force. But we also won't have t. Leftists assume we agree that Trump isn't allowed to talk big... Especially when the Danish are already talking about a hot war.

I'm glad he clarified because this was the strategic thought I had. I know there is a lot of whining from various international do nothings, mainly from NATO, but the reality is if China or Russia come for Greenland who is going to be asked to fend off those threats? Denmark? Russia would pop them like a teenager's first ass zit. The only reason there is ANY deterrence there right now is because of US military presence. Denmark is basically bending us over by forcing us to defend that territory. They have nothing to lose if China takes it over but we do so we have no choice but to defend it for them. It's ridiculous.

I will say I think there's a compromise. Could they split it in half and sell the western half to us? We then have military bases on US soil and can do whatever mining we want to make it worthwhile and they can keep control of a large chunk of it because it makes them look cool.

We dont even need to population centers of Greenland. They can keep that and keep it Danish if they wish. We just need the rest of it.

Win win

So, mere hours after virtue signaling this would never happen....it's happening.

They want to see the deal. As expected.

Definitely interesting to see how all this plays out. They have dreamed of having their own country for quite some time now. I would have to think the situation there must be pretty tense as we speak.

Welcome to the portal era, bro! We'll make a NIL offer to Greenland they can't refuse.

All Trump has to do is use NATO membership as leverage. We buy it or we are out. And we will burn our European bases to the ground on the way out.

The major parties there all issued a statement saying they didn't want to be either Danish nor American.

I think the simple truth is they want independence, and then will entertain offers to be 'bought off' functionally to let us base our missile defenses/mining operations to enrich them. The question is whether the imperialist/aristocratic Danish ruling class will permit independence.

The Europeans just don't have a clue how to handle Trump.

Quote:

Europe's leadership, always stuck in the second half of the 20th century, seems perplexed with Trump's dogged determination to bring the island of Greenland under American control. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said it made "absolutely no sense to talk about the need for the United States to take over Greenland," given America's relationship with Denmark which, in her telling, "gives the United States wide access to Greenland." Similar statements were released by even close Trump allies, such as Italy's Giorgia Meloni, who signed onto a statement highlighting that the United States already has a "defence agreement" with Denmark, and by extension, with Greenland.

Underneath this all is a sense of genuine confusion, centred around two questions: 1) Why? and 2) How?
