Greenland - honestly do you think he will do it?

[Tripper11]

I'm curious what folks think. These assholes are so completely crazy and unpredictable that it's so difficult to predict.
As osr of us know if he does, that's the ball game.

Will he go after Greenland and use military force?

[Irish_Dem]

1. Best predictor of future behavior is current and past behavior.

Based on that, what do you think he is capable of doing?

[Tripper11]

3. I think he certainly could

That's the thing, he really thinks he's the king of the world. Interim president of Venezuela?
Jesus.. come on

[Irish_Dem]

6. You get an A on the test question.

[Fiendish Thingy]

14. He's more inconsistent than a toddler on espresso, without a nap, in a room full of puppies

How could you predict anything with that guy?

[Stargleamer]

2. He'll lose the Olympics and the World Cup if he does. . .

so I don't think so. Bringing on world recession though is no big deal to him.

[wcmagumba]

4. He'll send more troops to make a show for himself being a tough guy, they can join the ones we already have there.

Soon we will have more troops than the population already living there...Greenland still will be Greenland connected with Denmark...imo

5. He will not use force.

He probably really wants it, and there is geopolitical strategy to possessing the land.

I never imagined we'd go this far. I don't think we go much further -- he is trying to get Noem et al. out of the news.

[LuckyCharms]

7. Yes, he will. n/t

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

8. Seems like the voices in his head (the monied elite) are trying to condition Americans to the idea.

Europe is not outraged enough in my opinion.

[CanonRay]

9. I think he'll try

but the military won't stand for it. I hope. Most all our high ranking officers have done NATO tours and have personal and professional relationships within NATO.

[milestogo]

10. Yes he's a complete idiot.

He could be removed from office before this disaster were it not for the chickenshit Republicans.

[Prairie_Seagull]

11. He will try to buy it or bribe the population of

56,669 or so.

We might invade or you can just sell it to me.

[thought crime]

16. At the point of a gun to their heads.

This is already an assault with a deadly weapon. European leaders need to step up.

[EdmondDantes_]

12. I think he will eventually be dissuaded

If as reported the Joint Chiefs have told him it would be illegal, hard for them to turn around and do it. Denmark/Greenland will throw him a bone of some sort, more US military or deals on the various natural resources and the issue will go away. Plus it helps that we're getting closer to the elections and some Republicans will be trying to save their seat and Trump will be distracted by trying to get turn out and/or falling asleep. And then after the election, we will almost certainly be able to be more of a check with control of the House and in a longer shot the Senate.

[thought crime]

17. He will back down from use of the military

If he is convinced that Congress must approve. US military officials should refuse without congressional approval.

Denmark is aware of all this.

[Fiendish Thingy]

13. No

Especially if Starmer deploys UK troops to Greenland, as he is reported to be considering, and other EU nations and Canada follow.

That will shut TACO right the fuck up.

But those EU troops need to be in place soon, like by the end of the month, IMO.

[ColoringFool]

15. 100%.

[duckworth969]

18. Upper brass is balking, calling invading Greenland an illegal act

I know the guffaws that’ll get. But it’s what I’ve read.

[CentralMass]

19. I think he might do it. He's out of control and there is no one to stop him.

[RoeVWade]

20. I'm curious though, threating the hoods running Venezuela of fate worse that Mauduro is one thing.

Has he planned to threaten their President and legislative body with some sort of harm, if he declares himself the President of Greenland.

Or does he even have a plan if they say, "No, we won't follow your orders". Imagine how that will go. It's insane.

He certainly doesn't appear to have thought through his plan for oil in Venezuela. But that didn't stop him from enacting the first part.

One thing I will predict -- 100% he can make a totally rash decision. Whether he will, I don't know.

21. "Gibbering fealty to nuttery': Republican under fire for drafting bill to seize Greenland

https://www.rawstory.com/randy-fine-2674877240/

Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) proudly announced on Monday that he is introducing legislation to allow President Donald Trump to seize control of Greenland — as the president's increasingly obsessive calls for the island to be purchased or annexed away from Denmark alarms both international actors and key figures in both parties.
"Huge News! Today, I am proud to introduce the Greenland Annexation and Statehood Act, a bill that allows the President to find the means necessary to bring Greenland into the Union," wrote Fine on X. "Let me be clear, our adversaries are trying to establish a foothold in the Arctic, and we can’t let that happen. By acquiring Greenland, we would prevent our adversaries from controlling the Arctic Region and secure our northern flank from Russia and China."

[sinkingfeeling]

22. Yes, he will try it.

[IbogaProject]

23. As bad as he is, he says much more than he does

He constantly makes promises and threats, follow through is very selective. That is my hope.

[joshcryer]

24. He will bribe them.

$1-2 million each would more than cover the referendum.

He won't pay up of course.

[Wanderlust988]

25. Denmark will end up bribing him by letting him build the biggest Trump hotel in Copenhagen

and some golf courses in Denmark. That just might do it.
