The US President Donald Trump has stated that he would consider taking Greenland by force if other means to acquire the land fail. The move has sparked protests in Greenland, with crowds of people turning out for a "Stop Trump" march through the capital Nuuk. Danish officials have said that the US's threat is "totally unacceptable."

omg u guys can u believe this? 
so trump thinks he can just take greenland by force lol what is wrong with him?! Greenlanders r already dealing w/ climate change and resource depletion, do they need america coming in and trying 2 take over their land?
and danish officials are saying the US's threat is "totally unacceptable" which i gotta agree w/ them. I mean, Greenland is not just a strategic location for america, it's also home to an indigenous ppl who deserve respect & self-determination. we need 2 think about the implications of trump's words - would other countries start making similar threats?
it's pretty sad that trump feels like he can just do whatever he wants without considering how others might feel or what the consequences could be. and now there are protests in Nuuk which is great to see ppl standing up for their rights.
let's hope this whole situation gets resolved peacefully

let's hope this whole situation gets resolved peacefullyMan I cant even imagine what would happen if the US just took over Greenland like that... its not like they got any business there, you know? I mean I love America and all, but come on. The thought of those crowds in Nuuk, it makes me sad lol. Danish officials are right to be upset too, they gotta protect their own interests. But seriously, what's the point of taking someone else's land? Its not like there's any resources worth fighting over... Greenland is so cold and remote, I don't even know how anyone lives there. I guess this just goes to show that politics can get pretty crazy sometimes 
This whole thing just feels super fishy to me... like there's something more going on here than meets the eye. I mean, who is really behind this push for Greenland? Is it just the US government or is there some other power player at play? 
I'm not saying it's a conspiracy or anything, but you've got to wonder why they're so keen on taking control of that island in the first place.And let's be real, what about the people of Greenland? They deserve to have a say in their own future, right? But no, the US is just coming in and telling them how it's going to go down. It's like they're trying to pull some kind of strings behind the scenes...
I'm not buying it as an act of benevolence or national security. There's gotta be something more sinister at play here. 
Ugh, this whole thing is just so messy ! First off, can we talk about how Trump's threat to take Greenland by force is literally just a huge red flag waving in the air? Like, what even is the logic behind that? Are they just gonna roll up on the island with tanks and expect everyone to be like "oh okay cool"? Newsflash: this isn't some abandoned property up for grabs, it's a sovereign nation with its own government and people 
And can we also talk about how predictable this is? Like, the US has been eyeing Greenland for years and now that they're not getting their way, they just resort to threats. It's like they think they're some kind of superpower or something. But at the end of the day, it's still just a bunch of folks living on an island with a rich history and culture
The whole "Stop Trump" thing in Nuuk is kinda awesome though
. I love that people are standing up for themselves and their rights. It's like, we should be supporting our allies and friends instead of trying to bully them into submission

I mean, can you believe what Donald Trump just said? He's literally threatening to take Greenland by force if things don't go his way... that's like something straight out of a bad movie 
. And now there are protests happening in Nuuk, with people showing up for marches and stuff... it's like they're not taking this seriously at all .
And the Danish officials are like, "Uh, nope, we don't take kindly to threats from our friends"
. I get it, Greenland is part of Denmark, but come on, Trump needs to chill out 
. I mean, can't they just talk about this stuff and find a way that doesn't involve some kind of military intervention? 
This whole situation is just so messed up...

Like, why would the US President just go and make this crazy statement out of nowhere? I mean, we all know about the resources in Greenland, but come on, a full-on invasion? That's not exactly the kind of diplomacy they're known for over there. And then to have it spark protests in Greenland... that's like, two islands down from Denmark, you'd think they'd be all connected and stuff. I'm thinking there might be more to this story than meets the eye... maybe some big corporations want to get their hands on those resources and they're using Trump as a pawn? It's just too convenient, if you ask me...

It's just too convenient, if you ask me...man, this is some crazy stuff... i mean, greenland? come on 
seriously though, who does trump think he is? taking over another country just because he can't get what he wants? it's like someone trying to take your stuff and threatening to use force unless you give it back... not cool
and yeah, the danish are right, this is totally unacceptable. i mean, they're basically saying "no thanks" to trump's aggressive move. but at the same time, can you blame them? greenland has its own government and stuff, it shouldn't just be some US territory that trump can decide on a whim.
and those protests in nuuk are a great response... people standing up for what they believe in and defending their country. we should all be supporting them not the guy who's trying to bully them into submission.

not the guy who's trying to bully them into submission. I'm not sure what's more concerning, the fact that Trump thinks he can just barge into Greenland or the fact that people are actually listening to him... I mean, come on, a "Stop Trump" march in Nuuk? Have we learned nothing from history? It's like, yeah, okay, you're upset about this, but what are you going to do about it? 
And what's with the US trying to claim Greenland again? Like, didn't they try and buy it from Denmark back in the 90s and get rejected? Can't they just leave us alone? I'm all for fair trade and diplomacy, but this feels like some kind of colonialist power grab.
I'm just waiting to see how this plays out. Are we going to have a global incident on our hands? Will Trump actually follow through on his threat? And what's the deal with Greenland anyway? It's not like it's a strategic location or anything...
I'm literally shook by this news ... I mean, who needs force to get what they want? And to think we're living in a world where one person can just threaten another country over land ownership . I've got so much respect for Greenland and their right to self-determination - it's like, if the US is gonna take something by force, that's basically taking it from themselves 
.
And can we talk about how ridiculous it is that Trump would even think this is a good idea? Like, doesn't he know that's just gonna lead to more drama and conflict?
It's not like Greenland isn't already dealing with enough challenges - climate change, poverty, the usual stuff.
I'm all for diplomacy and finding peaceful solutions, but when it comes to this kind of thing, I think we need to take a step back and rethink our priorities. Maybe instead of trying to expand our territory, we should be focusing on building bridges (literally) between countries?

I'm so worried about this Greenland situation . I mean, I get it, the US wants to make a deal with Denmark about Greenland but threatening to take it by force? That's just crazy talk 
. I think Trump needs to calm down and have a proper conversation with the Danish government instead of making threats.
And can you imagine if they really did take Greenland by force? The people of Greenland would be so upset and rightfully so. I've seen videos of this beautiful island and it's stunning, but it's also home to an amazing culture and way of life that shouldn't be messed with.
I'm not sure what's more concerning, the fact that Trump is making these threats or that the Danish government seems a bit taken aback by them
. Either way, I think we should all be keeping an eye on this situation and hoping for a peaceful resolution

Either way, I think we should all be keeping an eye on this situation and hoping for a peaceful resolution .omg can u believe this?! so like trump thinks he can just take over greenland by force?? it's wild how some ppl think they can get away with things... i mean, what's next? taking over canada or somethin'?! anyway, i feel bad for the danish gov, but at the same time, i'm like "hey, don't be afraid to stand up for ur own land" you know? it's ur home and u gotta protect it. and greenlanders are all about the environment and stuff, so i can see why they'd be super upset about trump tryin' to just take it over...

newsflash: it's not ours to take! and what about the people who live there? don't they have a say in their own destiny? i mean, i get that us and denmark have a connection through danish rule and all, but come on, trump is being super arrogant here 
. and what's with this "force" thing? isn't that just a recipe for disaster? 
Greenland has natural resources, yes, but so does every country, it's not like trump can just take them by force and get away with it . i hope the danish government stands firm on this one 
and that the greenlanders know they're not alone in their opposition to trump's plans 
.
