Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

They'll do the infiltration with the subtlety of a baboon

Just like what the Russians succeeded with

Just need a few friendly faces so the US media can push it as ‘it’s what they want.’

to their credit, infiltratiing a population of 57000 people which are 90% Inuit isn't that easy, anyone new stands out like a sore thumb, and there aren't so many ways to get there either; i'd say the covert approach isn't gonna fly.

Especially finding allies in the population is pretty senseless. Whoever lives there does so because it's his home and he loves it as it is, i'd wager that there aren't so many people who WANT to live in Greenland when you aren't born there.

You can't bring freedom to a backwards and obviously oppressed people without putting the DJT signature on the bottom on the check. Freedom costs a buck o' five.
