Leaders of the bipartisan delegation said most Americans don’t want to acquire the territory, and thousands of Danes joined “Hands-off Greenland” protests.

Americans don’t want to conquer Greenland; just Trump those paying bribes (billionaires) or using blackmail (Putin)

      It is a nonsensical argument, as I laid out. Pigheaded. Unhelpful to anyone other than the ones responsible for your anger in this situation.

          Democracy is a nebulous word, it’s a representative government with severe oligarchic rot. As your country is too I am sure. It could hardly not be.

            So… “No”.

            Did you miss the other half of the argument? If your country is not ruled by your people than you are not responsible. But you can’t be trusted, becouse your system can’t be trusted.

            And of of course each democracy have problems. But do you even strive to be one? Your entire reaction after learning that your “representative” is planing to betray your allies was “what else is new”?

            Did you truly excausted all your options? Truly? If you are opresed and affraid and unable to change it… OK. I get it and its fair. You are not reaponsible, you are a victim. But you should at a very least drop the cavalier atitute about it.

              As to the reaction of the president’s bullshit being what’s new, you are just now realizing it’s going to be like this.

              I knew it July 2024. I am long passed the other phases of anger and bargaining and the like. 2028 is the only chance, and it’s hopeless with the dem establishment leading the opposition and people still trust them somehow.

              I do what I can to unseat the establishment that is doomed to fail, and it earns me nothing but grief. I know it won’t work but I try anyway because I have to. I don’t know what you expect us to do.

                And what did you acctualy do since july 2024? At minimum I expect you to put political and economical pressure trough consumer chooces, every institutional path at your disposal and civil disobedience.
