He’s a rapist. This is what rapists do.

    Enforce your laws or lose your country. If a US company can establish a foothold it will be used as the justification to get boots on the ground for national security reasons. Look at the US history, it is what we do. We have done it all over the world and we are coming for you Greenlanders.

    Thats the thing I don’t understand, even if you were considering a permit, they are still there illegally. Make them wait offshore until a decision is made. Bonkers level of stupidity.

    There are undoubtedly unethical Greenlanders who are willing to sell out to America for a profit. Some are just dumb. Either way they are almost certainly getting some amount of help from a few locals.

    This is what I'm struggling with also. Just don't allow them in.

    Yah agreed, an article I read said that there were wasn’t much population in that area so that may by why, as in there isn’t anyone to physically remove them…but you would think a response of some sort from the government would have happened. Just wild stuff. Appeasement rarely works.

    It’s got to be a tough choice: do they need to fear military “response” to this game of chicken?

    It’s easy for us to say they should just enforce their laws but is this just a provocation? And excuse? It’s also easy for us to say any military action would be widely condemned, including from half the US, but we wouldn’t be the ones getting invaded

    If Greenland does attack these parasites, it’s sadly going to be working class people who die in the clash. Greenland should be imprisoning any corporate representatives who set foot in the country.

    Holy shit...

    Island’s government says no approval given after Greenland Energy brings kit ashore for exploratory drilling

    An American oil company connected to Donald Trump is preparing to sink wells in remote Greenland despite not having received permission from the local authorities.

    As the US president renews his threats to claim the vast Arctic territory, materials to prepare for drilling were brought ashore in recent days on Greenland’s eastern coast.

    That has prompted Greenland’s government to issue a “strong warning” that no approval had been granted to land the kit. “All future logistical matters must be advised and approved by the mineral resources authority – before they are carried out,” the government said in a statement.

    Two days later, Trump made his latest menacing post on Truth Social, showing himself looming over a Greenlandic village.

    Fucking blow them up, they're literally invading

    Well if Denmark doesn’t fight back, then the Europeans can’t make fun of us for doing nothing about our crisis.

    So just eject them they can't stay in territorial waters without permission and moreover if they refuse they can be raided and seized using the same concept the US is currently using to seize suspected migrant, drug or sanction evading ships.

    Offshore drilling can be dangerous. Accidents happen all the time

    Can't they just seize the equipment and prosecute the individuals responsible?

    What about a strong wind instead of a strong warning. By wind I mean a strong fart. They may be more lucky

    A strongly worded letter! Whatever will they do?
