| As an American, we've had to watch this administration almost directly defy our own Supreme Court. A "warning" from Greenland or Denmark that doesn't include ordnance pointed at those shipping containers isn't going to mean anything. The tagline of the Trump administration is "who's going to stop me?" |

| Given the other tagline is TACO[1], I guess the “who's going to stop me?” is less rhetorical and more literal. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_Always_Chickens_Out |

The bond market spiking interest rates contained the worst of the tariffs, SCOTUS rulings have curtailed some of his more egregious abuses, protests and their fallout (innocent people getting killed) helped to contain ICE. Denmark and/or Greenland needs to seize those containers, keep them under armed guard, and then give Greenland Energy a reasonable deadline to come and retrieve them or else they'll be destroyed. | |
| ▲ | tremon 11 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | I don't see the contradiction. "Who's going to stop me?" implies that the expectation is for no one to stop him. But when someone eventually does, it's TACO time. | |

| We've elected a president who couldn't care less about the country, much less its allies, has no knowledge or experience relevant to governing, and who chooses his underlings based solely on their looks and sycophancy. It's a fun experiment! |

| ▲ | Zigurd 9 hours ago | parent [-] | | This is the story the historians will write. If you think the idea of Trump being owned by one or more adversaries is preposterous, read about some of the high-level penetrations of governments in the 20th century. Worse than Willy Brandt. | | |
