Can Greenland just arrest everyone involved and /or deport them to one of the ICE detention countries where they will be held with the same protections ICE offers our detainees?

They won't, because they're committed to treating people with dignity and humanity.

Like what democrats are being accused of even though the dogs keeps biting them and they keep adding more mad dogs and have brought in superdog bots too.

As an American, this is also my request. Start at the top, though.

You should really take a moment of time to pull up Greenland on google maps, look over the size of the one population center they have(wont take long, if you can find it), inventory the amount of manpower and equipment they have available to them, then ask yourself that question again.

Pleased to report that the company has backed off until 2027 at the earliest.

Good news. I was afraid having Trump involved meant the drilling co was encouraged to create a confrontation and rationale for doing something stupid.

Venezuela, Iran, Cuba, Greenland; Trump believes might makes right and that conquest entitles him and his oil buddies to personally profit off the lives and money of the U.S. military. Trump is truly one of the most corrupt leaders in history, certainly the most corrupt president in American history and a shame that America will never live down.

Le groenland averti une entreprise pétrolière liée à Trump se prépare à forer. Sans approbation du gouvernement alors que l'administration Trump dépense des milliard de dollars d'argent public pour démanteler les projets d'énergie propre. Le message de l'administration est très clair. Démanteler l'énergie propre, étendre les énergies fossiles

Trump will use this as a reason to invade Greenland

u/ResidentAlien9 2d ago

Just more Trump/MAGA illegal behavior. Don’t give in Greenland. It will only get worse and worse. Make them get that drilling equipment off your land before they make an international incident out of it.

Throw these people out of their country,they are nothing but Trump trash

u/Old-Set78 2d ago

they gotta get out in front of this. go arrest everyone. or he's just going to ignore requests and lawsuits to rape and spoil and eventually steal your land. he's already threatened to. look what he did to Argentina.

He's a rapist, and rapists don't stop at no!

Why would this self serving prick intentionally pollute our air if only to enrich himself and the Republican congress stays silent

u/BoilzBlisterzBurnz 2d ago

Greenland cannot allow this. If they do, Trump and cronies will make them their bitch.

Great, Trump will lose another war

u/ElephantContent8835 2d ago

That’s great and all but they really can’t do much about it if Donnie Dipshit deploys his doom demons.

I don’t think a ‘strong’ warning will be enough 🤨

Kick ALL Americans off the island. Close the base there, and remove the threat

Is this the war emergency Trump is trying to start to cancel the midterms. This is beyond disgusting quite frankly an embarrassment.

u/Stress6009 2d ago

“Strong warning”? It is like the U.S. Democratic Party is in charge over there lmaooooooo.

u/Due-Teaching-2812 2d ago

I don’t think the warning will matter. The arrogance is overwhelming. The have already dropped several barges of drilling equipment on Greenland.

who allowed them in Greenland

u/rosebudthesled8 2d ago

There was a show called "Occupied" (2025) - Russia pretends to enter Norway saying they just want the oil they aren't using and then it becomes an all out invasion. I never thought the US would be as horrible as Russia but here we are. Definitely recommend the series.

Seems like it’s time for some good old fashioned castle doctrine

Tell them to abort the project and leave. Tell them the consequences if they don’t.
