The US is also listed as a threat due to its interest in Greenland, which the Trump administration has claimed is vital to America’s national security

    Well done!

    Publicly announcing what everyone who’s paying attention has known for the better part of a century at the EXACT time where it’s the least likely to influence those in power is some excellent fucking spycraft!

    What’s next? They’re going to point out that the hundreds of US military bases in foreign countries aren’t there to help out the locals? 🙄🤦

    They only give a shit because the US is threatening to take their colony away from them.

    Pot calling the kettle blackDanes calling the Americans white.

      The legal framework for Greenland to declare independence has been in place for decades.

      They’re currently a self-ruling territory that is part of the Danish realm by choice. Not saying that forgives old colonialist crimes, but it hasn’t been a Danish colony for a while now.

    Of course this isn’t news, neither for the Europeans, much less for the Global South, but seeing the rupture between the imperial core and its vassal States has a meaning, which I hope Westerners would be able to understand and veer things towards a new end, not fascism in Europe rising again.

      Dutch is the adjective for things from the Netherlands, and also the demonym for people from there. The demonym for Denmark is Dane and the adjective is Danish.

          espcecially when those are fake countries. There is nothing in common between a limburger, a frisian and a zeelander. Totally different tribes.

          I doubt it; it would be odd if they were named after a fictional Dutch-American :)

    It’s using all of its power to seize control over everything it can. America is the greatest threat to democracy and autonomy since the USSR.
