Actually, they don’t.
When Denmark sold the Danish West Indies to USA in 1916-1917, part of that deal was to ratify that USA accepted the full Danish ownership of Greenland.
At the time, this was done to keep Norway from making claims to Greenland.
But anyway, we quite literally have a document written by USA and signed by USA stating that Denmark alone owns Greenland.
Edit: Took some time to find, but here it is signed by U.S Secretary of State Robert Lansing who made the deal under President Woodrow Wilson.
I don’t think this administration gives a shit about documents, precedent, or the rule of law.
They don’t give a shit because nobody is holding them accountable. The rest of the western world is waiting for the American people to start holding their government accountable and it’s just not happening.
It didn’t happen in Germany or Japan even after they were firebombed and / or nuked.
People really don’t like holding power - even the formerly poweful - to account; and people in power generally don’t like it either (unless it suits them).
I suspect it’s partly because doing so would lead to the obvious question: who gave then the power in the first place?
You are making some pretty wild statements… those in power don’t actually like holding power? That is a bonkers statement to me. The people who SHOULD have the power never do, because they simply don’t want the power. I can maybe see that, but the people in this day and age that HAVE the power? Most definitely want it, in fact I’d argue they want even more. Gluttonous savage pigs that they are. Will consume and consume and consume until someone puts a stop to it.
- Recall ambassadors
- Cease trade
- Invite an apology and clarification of position.
This is the only response.
Stephen miller asserts obviously morally objectionable thing. Gets red in the face and foams at the mouth trying to appear confident when attempting to explain it’s logic or morality.

Yaah, the guy’s got terminal “little man’s” disease.
Also, he’s a tool.
As a little man, I resent being associated with this person.
You are not little.
You are undertall and are mentally well balanced, thankyouverymuch.
It’s wild to me that the US is going to make a run at taking over the world. Growing up here in the 80s and 90s we were taught that we were the country that prevented anyone else from trying that. Hell we, according to our schooling, ended both world wars.
I don’t mean that I grew up trusting the government, but it wasn’t on my life bingo card that we would ever attempt world conquest. Trump was a guy everybody made fun of when I was a kid, so him as president was unexpected the first time, and unimaginable a second time after his first performance.
We live in a bad novel. The plot is stupid and the characters suck and the ending is going to be ugly.
the US is going to make a run at taking over the world
I hope that’s not meant to imply that the US is a monolith. This is the US government hijacked by dictator Trump. The American people have not been asked, and have no representation in the current criminal regime.
That’s not entirely fair to say. Trump is certainly a critical component in all this, but absolutely none of it would be possible without the Republican party being so eagerly complicit. They let him make the big, loud, unfavorable moves and support those moves as quietly as they can.
