They’re now posturing that Greenlanders will want to become American once they get independence, despite polls indicating that they’d prefer basically anything else.

The US hasn't yet done as much as many others. The world cup was in Russia after they annexed Crimea.

True, should have done it then too.
Football has the power to make the world better, it chooses not to use that power.

Not a hope in hell countries will refuse to play in the States next year (sadly). The last WC was in Qatar ffs and not one country gave a shit about human rights etc
A very reactionary, unplanned or well thought out idea in my head.
If the Septics want isolationism, let’s give it to them. I realise that the US economy is actually bigger than that of the EU (much to my surprise) but it ain’t bigger than the rest of the world. Let’s all just match Trump tariff for tariff. It will hurt some businesses but it will mostly be be big corporates and multi nationals who can revise their business models and hopefully muddle through. The Yanks buy mostly their own produced goods, commercial information sharing dries up to them, the rest of the world continues to trade with each other. The UseLessEh? slips further and further back into its own Stone Age by comparison. Fxxk ‘em.

When the WC was awarded to Qatar back in 2010, who’d have thought that that would have been the least-worst host nation out of the 3 tournaments between 2018-2026?

Exactly. I thought much the same earlier. It's a dire turn of events.

Trump seems to have learned that Prime Minister Carney isn’t actually’Governor’ Carney.

Mad to think that within two months the States have managed to make a very significant percentage of the world despise everything about the country (I cannot stand anything about the USA and its arrogant, brash, ignorant population at the moment, despite knowing that approx. half the country is hating what is going on) whilst simultaneously making an absolute mockery of themselves to the likes of Russia and China, who will be absolutely loving what's going on. What an achievement

It seems james david vance has ramped up the rhetoric overnight. Some respected US experts on X pointing out that there might genuinely be attacks on Greenland's patrol boats....some are questioning how ordinary US citizens will feel to see the US killing former European allies...this is insane.

Damn your right, i only first heard of them about 2 years ago and because of his strange voice and constant pro Ukrainian anti Russian posts on Facebook, I thought….
wrong
Nah, can't be real
J.D. Vance or the patrol boats?

Attacks by whom? The US? Surely not. The spin from where I see it is that there is a load of bollocks about Russia and Chinese vessels eyeing it up and Trump is basically saying he's gonna get it first for world security, when frankly he wants it for strategic advantage, their vast natural resources, and to expand the USs reach.
It's a nonsense that Russia would do much, well before, in respect of Greenland due to article 5. If it's really a risk then it's only become one in the last 2 months.
It's an interesting and worrying one, Trump seems set on Greenland, just depends on how he tries to get it, and how far he will go. I don't think Nato countries taking other Nato countries was part of the treaty, and it will be interesting to see what EU. Canada, and of course Denmark do about it should anything happen
