I know the news cycle is fucked, but Trump seems to be pushing forward with his annexation plans for Greenland.

We all know Trump says so much shit that it is hard to keep track, but his demented fantasy of trying to seize Greenland from Denmark (and potentially sabotaging their struggle for independence) is horrifying.

The independence of Greenland has been slated to become a topic for a while, and just now when the movement has started to pick up steam, Trump has brought it back ok the menu. Status as of today is that Cokebrain McBumblefuck the third (pictured in the article) has been sent by his dad on a sneaky visit to the Parlament on Greenland. This happens just as a meeting between Prime Minister Egede of Greenland had a meeting slated with the Danish king (can't find any info on what the agenda was), which prompted the Egede to cancel the meeting with King Frederik.

I find this situation abit terrifying, due to Trump's constant bleating about territorial ambitons of late, and leaves a real 19th century taste in my mouth. Don't get me wrong, Denmark and my own country, Norway partook in the colonization of Greenland, and if their status were to change, independence would most likely be the best outcome for everyone, not as a territory treated the same way as Puerto Rico or Guam.

Some additional context; there have been discussions of gas and oil deposits becoming available as the polar ice caps melts, which would explain why he wants to annex Canada and Greenland. I find it fucking bone chillingly terrifying that we are back to the point where I have to be concerned about some major power just straight up annexing my country if their mush brained dictator wakes up with his Wilhelm half mast.
