it is extremely disconcerting to me how quickly the concept of the US using pressure or force to make an ally cut it's own country in half and make people US subjects is just a normal thing to see discussed.

trump and his sociopathic outriders are a cancer on us all and refusing to normalise all this garbage is one thing we can personally do against them.

Psychological operations designed to shift the overton window have been going on longer than you have been alive.

agreed, especially how everyone overlooks that Greenland wants to be a fully independent nation and treats their thirst for independence as wanting to be a US territory which can't even properly vote... wtf

There is even conversation going on about Svalbard on Twitter. I think a lot of people just realized hos close that is to Greenland and then if Greenland then why not Svalbard.

wonder when they'll do it to australia. not much will change here i guess. except more homelessness. the overton window is new to me though, thanks to my sibling poster for that new idea!

australia is just giving up land and money to the US already without any pressure.

but this is the thing Denmark did too, their is a sufficient large US military base in Greenland. When it comes to projecting military power to the north/east the US has no reason to try and size Greenland, like AT ALL.

This isn't about projecting military power it's about sizing Greenland itself, not just from the Denmark but the people of Greenland themself.
