All European countries have become comfortable allowing the US to dominate defense and economic issues in all of Europe. I served in the USMC and remember how willing Europeans were to allow Americans to serve while they remained safely at home to "thank me for my service". Trump is correct to upset this business as usual attitude. But, Trump the real estate pig is not interested in any participation without profit even when he creates chaos. The cooperative Danes and Icelanders will do nearly anything for or with US so why insult them? Trump is much too clumsy, coarse and ill mannered to broker any deals with ANYBODY friend or foe. That's what diplomats are for. While Trump boasts skill in managing the art of the deal he destroys any benefit of US military superiority by squandering common sense benefits visible to those of us who have actually served. Trump is incompetent, ignorant , immature and inexperienced and must be removed as POTUS ASAP.
In the stark light of current events, Trump’s relentless pursuit of Greenland stands as a defining act of hubris—a move reminiscent of Agamemnon, who sacrificed his own for the promise of greatness. This modern spectacle is less about strategic necessity than it is about the insatiable hunger of one man, driven by emptiness and the need to leave a mark, no matter the cost. With the eyes of the world on Greenland, Trump’s willingness to upend alliances, sideline Denmark, and destabilize NATO reveals a tragic flaw: the belief that personal ambition should eclipse collective wisdom and the hard-won security of the West.
This is not merely a story of one man’s ambition, but a warning for all who would mistake spectacle for substance. The pursuit of Greenland—at the expense of allies and the rules of international order—offers Putin his greatest asymmetric victory, fracturing unity from within and exposing the West’s most vulnerable fault lines. Like Agamemnon, Trump’s legacy may be measured not by conquests but by the wounds inflicted upon his own house. If democracy is to heal, it must learn from this chapter: unchecked pride is a recipe for ruin. Only leaders who value humility, partnership, and restraint can hope to steer the nation away from the tragic cycles of history
If ordered to land in Greenland and take over, what should the troops of the 101st Abn and their commanders do? Join the Greenlanders after they land and help them, and their NATO allies who are already on the ground, keep control, because they would have been given an illegal order!
USA has told so many lies, it no longer bothers to distinguish the Truth. This island is not an adumdance of rare earths, it is not russias next choice after Ukraine, and it will NEVER be a Chinese target for conquest. So, Donald, who has no deal with NATO 🤷♂️ / what is the next big lie your media will push on the people.
At least the children of Green Ice Land, won’t be crying themselves to sleep every night, afraid the big bad USA will commence killing then tonight.

It's time for the EU to ban comsumer products from US and import from other products.

Thanks for your recognition Ms. Riverton. I thrive on feedback.
