Greenland’s population is overwhelmingly against leaving the Danish realm in favor of the US, dealing a blow to President Donald Trump’s insistence the island is keen to join.
If you’re Denmark, you don’t have the luxury of ignoring this. Trump will escalate this before it’s resolved. My guess is he’ll order the military to stop paying for the US military base in Greenland, start operations that exceed what is in the agreement, and basically try to provoke a response to use as pretense for further escalation. It’s already gone too far for Trump to just back down.
WHY IS ANYONE TAKING THIS BULLSHIT SERIOUSLY‽

Because the US has a history of buying islands form Denmark — that’s where the US Virgin Islands come from.
