    Greenland is already calling bullshit. No, there is no “massive oil, gas and mineral exploration” underway.

        Yup. Well, technically, it was a corporation (with ties to Trump) that shipped the equipment. But at this point, po-tay-to, po-tah-to.

      And yet the US will try anyway. Denmark and Greenland called their deal with the US necessary to buy time but as a Canadian it was a short sighted call that invites far worse US trouble. Denmark and Greenland should have put their foot down.

        Yes, though not immediately. Ultimately, the Danish military would probably have to repel the invasion.

          the Danish military would probably have to repel the invasion.

          Hopefully not before first inviting the president there for an impromptu “breaking ground” ceremony on his new oil well.
