    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.

      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

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

      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.
