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.
Not to put too fine a point on it but this is exactly what the entire rest of the world would say when 2A cultists would talk about how “guns keep da gubmint in check”.
Maybe, instead of wasting money, blood and political capital on making sure every psycho could pack heat it may have been wiser to spend it on firming up the laws and protecting against exactly what is happening now. For example, maybe a President responsible for a coup should not have been on the ballot.
I think you’ll find that it’s a whole lot easier to find people willing to kill for a paycheck, rather than dying for one.
Meaning of course, bring guns to protests to show that you have them. Those chicken shits wont start shooting if they are at risk of dying themselves.
This sounds like a great way to get two angry sides of a protest to start shooting at each other
Much better that the government has the guns?
The government has monopolized violence. If you turn a firearm on the fascists you’ll only get yourself shot.
Organize, outnumber, overwhelm. You can blind and disable ICE vehicles with water balloons full of used motor oil and sand.
Nonsense. They are cowards that doesn’t trade their lifes for a paycheck. In the us you are legally allowed to have your firearm at a protest. Start using them.
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.
The Republican Party has always been full of Republicans. The reason that someone like Taco was able to walk into the place, slap his name on the place, and do even worse things than they were doing before is no accident.
When people in the Republican Party pine for the party of “true conservatives” and pretend they don’t understand what happened to their party, they are obviously ignoring decades of history, including the work of hate radio and Faux News.
Dear Americans,
I know there are some of you that are still good people, but the polls show that over 80% of Republicans and 30% of Independents (edit… Fixed this) support this President. Overall is about 40%. Fucking two in five. This is fucking insane.
Know this: If you invade Mexico, it will very likely be WW3. If you invade Greenland it most certainly will be. Everyone that I know in Canada is preparing.
If you are a good American, you are at a turning point RIGHT NOW. You may be past the point where protest matters. Maybe a general strike is the next step. And maybe that cherished 2A, which you’ve paid for in the blood of dead children, needs to be exercised. The point wasn’t just to look cool shooting your guns. You know what the purpose of the 2A is, and it’s ugly and it’s hard.
I’m telling you as a Canadian that if you talk about it and deliberate it, and talk about how people are acting and talk about how people are talking about it, you’re wasting precious time. You need to ACT and you need to ACT NOW. I’m sorry, but it has to be you guys. You have friends and support in other countries, but YOU are the ones that need to lead it.
Edit. Looks like I upset some Americans. That’s really unfortunate for you. If you think you didn’t ask for this, think about how I feel in another country. You have the means to upset things, I do not. Take some responsibility.
Edit 2. To all of the good hearted and suffering Americans who read this, I want to pull back a bit. I know there are good people, I have family and friends in the US. In my defense there is a lot happening very quickly, and the potential for actual, existential impact to me and my family is becoming real enough that I’ve started a trigger based prep plan and have started reconnecting with my CAF contacts. In the last few days this has ratcheted up to a new level. I’m really fucking angry. I’m angry at everyone. I’m angry that I couldn’t give my kids a future in a better world than I had. Yes I’m angry at you but not at you in particular. In fact I want you to have courage and strength because I realize what you face is also an existential threat. I want you to succeed. I need you to succeed. Please look past my anger and realize that you do have people around the world who will rise up and support you, who will fuel the fire. But we can’t light it. That’s all on you guys.
How? Its not like we got here because the people okay with this are capable of being reasoned with and we refused to.
We’ve literally been trying to get people to wake the fuck up and smell the fascism for over a decade at this point.
You know how, but it involves personal sacrifice and you don’t want to do it. You don’t want to lose your job, you don’t want to be jailed, and you especially don’t want to turn to violence. But I’m sorry to say that all of these things are possible, and it’s the risk you have to take.
Find trusted like minded people and start reacting. A critical mass of visible resistance is needed, and that critical mass is made up of small visible actions.
So you’re going to pay for my trip to the other side of the country and a gun when I get there, right? Or are you just going to continue blaming people who are not at fault?
If your American sorry you are at fault at some level.
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.
- Recall ambassadors
- Cease trade
- Invite an apology and clarification of position.
This is the only response.
