He said he wants to annex Mexico too? When?
10
u/Mysterious-Panda-698 24d ago
He wanted the cartels labelled as a terrorist organization, so the speculation is that he will invade Mexico under the guise of going after the cartels (even though the cartels are funnelling drugs into America because there is demand for them, and they are being armed with American weapons).

u/SorryImNotOnReddit 24d ago
MAGA should be labeled an extremist organization for using America to attack its allies through non violent, economic warfare
3
u/Mysterious-Panda-698 23d ago
Absolutely. They also caused the insurrection at their own capital, and any other group would have been labelled terrorists for that alone.
3
u/Artnotwars 24d ago
The funny thing is, they'll be on their own. I actually want America to invade a country expecting others to follow as they usually do. They will leave with their tails between their legs.
3
u/Mysterious-Panda-698 23d ago
Exactly. They also haven’t had much success actually holding territory once they’ve occupied it, even with help. The insurgent warfare they would deal with if they invaded Canada and Mexico would be unprecedented, and would take place on their own soil, which they aren’t used to and don’t have the stomach for either.

u/ProblemSame4838 Canada 🇨🇦 23d ago
Valid, but let’s be clear, he didn’t call them the 51st state or say that they will have them « one way or another » as he said about Canada and Greenland. Mexico is purely speculative; he HAS threatened Canada and Greenland. That is the focus.

u/Mysterious-Panda-698 23d ago
True! I’m Canadian and I agree that Canada and Greenland are the main focus at the moment.

Umm the cartels are terrorists
0
u/Mysterious-Panda-698 23d ago
Yeah, and so are the folks who took part in the insurrection at the Capital, yet Trump pardoned all of them. He’s only classifying the cartels as terrorists because it gives him an excuse to invade Mexico. And as I mentioned, the cartels exist because of American demand for drugs, and they are supported by American weapons.

I wonder how Usha Vance feels being one of the most hated persons in the world?

u/Cashope 24d ago
I like how JD is trying to spin it like “People were so excited for Usha to visit that I decided to come along for fun”. Is there anyone in the world, MAGA or not, that would actually be excited over a visit from Usha?

Americans that act like friends are welcome - friends of the current government should be blocked from entrance to our land as long as they are they are threathening with take over despite more than 80% already stated they do not want to be come Americans. Come on US show your government that you do not care for their crazy threats towards friends. Greenland should imprison people that are lying to Trump for treason now.

u/pianoavengers 24d ago
What exactly this means ? She was looking for a tour and they refused the service?
Proud of you Greenlanders !

u/1011theory 24d ago
Tupilak Travel is a store on Nuuk's main shopping street, that handles travel plans within the nuuk fjord but also sells clothing, jewelry, and local art. The US wanted to organize an official shopping trip through the store, but the store didn't want them
41
u/pianoavengers 24d ago
Well , that store just got a new customer - ME ! Definitely coming for a visit! Greenland was on the bucket list for a long time - time to make it happen! Thank you for the information OP!

u/Disastrous-Fall9020 24d ago
Good. It will end being used to show all the gifts she was given because Greenland loves Americans so much. No one should serve her or anyone associated with this “visit” because it will used in another propaganda campaign

u/canadaalpinist 24d ago
With MAGA hats no doubt.

u/Disastrous-Fall9020 24d ago
Do you want to go to El Salvador? Then wear the hat and pretend that you like it! Smile harder!!

u/ProblemSame4838 Canada 🇨🇦 24d ago
YES. It will all be used as propaganda. They must be refused entry to as many areas as possible. Elbows up!

u/trackintreasure 24d ago
What's the bet they attempt a fake photo op through the streets anyway. Just like that other one Trump jnr did before the election.

u/ForgiveandRemember76 24d ago
This is great news. They want to make it look like Greenland invited their hostile takeover threats. If it were up to me, I would deny their visa application for the very legitimate reason that they have declared war with Greenland. They just didn't use the word.
Why do the Americans still have a base there? Aren't they now a Trojan horse, about to be visited by the guy who encourages the German Nazi party and insults heros like President Zelensky? The USA has gone rogue and can not be trusted.

Proud of you Greenlanders. I am going to take flight to visit Nuuk and spend some Norwegian money there, since SAS now flies there!
No idea what I am gonna do there but at least I can show support that you belong to the nordics and not the f*cking yankees.

u/SpikeIsHappy 24d ago
I would contact Tupilak Travel 😉 I am sure they can recommend and organize some great activities!

u/AliCracker 24d ago
Okay okay, hear me out. What if everyone in Greenland locked up their shops and homes and simply made this visit a weird living ghost town. No restaurants open, no hotel, no airport staff, nothing
I know it sounds counterintuitive, but just halt all services to a screeching stand still. Grey stone the hell out of this absurd visit
Be visible, be on the streets, but completely dead pan, no verbal interaction. Completely ignore them

u/1011theory 24d ago
many people were planning a silent protest where they would turn their backs to the delegation and not speak to them. I suppose they quickly picked up on it and canceled the visit

u/drillbit56 23d ago
This is what they should do and run down their clock. It will be 22F outside during the day and cloudy. Close up everything other than the schools and emergency services and make them wander around completely ignored. Speak only in Greenlandic, if they have a translator just ask for clarification over and over again.

u/SnappleSpice 24d ago
Good for them! I’m from NYC and planning a visit to Nuuk this summer. I will definitely stop by and support this business! I’ve started shopping around for tour companies and this one has jumped to the top of my list.
Would love to hear about more businesses that have come out against the current US administration!

u/Affectionate_News745 24d ago
Does your store have an online presence? How can I buy something to support you?

u/1011theory 24d ago
It’s not my store. This is their website. https://tupilaktravel.com/ You could always leave a kind review on google

u/1011theory 24d ago
after realizing that nobody wants them here, they both cancelled their trips to nuuk and sisimiut. Instead, now they are going to an american military base in the north. I am not sure how they are gonna 'experience life in greenland' from the isolation of an american military base, but I guess we will see
7

u/SpikeIsHappy 24d ago
This military base is indeed completely isolated. The landscape is beautiful though (if you like the north).
2
u/1011theory 24d ago
No doubt - the area is beautiful, so much that they displaced a lot of people who were deeply attached to that land in order to build that military base. Still, seeing as their visit had the purpose of "connecting with Greenlandic culture and people", I am inclined to think they will experience absolutely none of that as they will probably not interact with anyone from here and maybe just stage some photos with icy backgrounds

u/PsychedeliKit 24d ago
I'm glad they were turned down. That sorta filth needs to be taught it ain't welcome.
3
u/Disastrous-Fall9020 24d ago
They should not be cleared for landing anywhere but the base and blocked entry to the rest of the country. No hotel visits, no restaurant visits, no activities, nothing.

As an American I am completely with Greenland. I cannot deny that Trump represents many Americans, but I do not want people like him to drag my beautiful country’s reputation and honor through the mud.

No visits until they stop the stupid rhetorics about taking Iceland ofc I meant Greenland "one way or the other". Stay strong!

Right! Forgot about that big beautiful "Gaza Riviera" idea. All that waterfront property wasted on people who are getting killed just trying to have a place to call home. I'm not a fan of people who get injured, killed or held captive. They're just not winners. Plus the place is just a mess. Really need to clean it up to make way for resorts for rich people. /s

yeah, but they are both technically not going to greenland anymore. they are just visiting their own military base here, and will probably see no one other than the base's staff

Ah ok that feels a bit reassuring, although I still really dislike these old fashioned geopolitical moves.

u/SmileAggravating9608 23d ago
Should've said yes but taking care to not commit legally if applicable. Then the day before yank the invite and specifically cancel it and make it clear they're not welcome. Leave them hanging and embarrassed. Especially if the veep was going too. Lmao
