Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. 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.

- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

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.
That's all the rules!

I'd be curious to hear your reasoning for this.
I think he'd love to rename it after himself somehow. And if they did an instant takeover, that would be Trump's "V-Day."
I wouldn't bet money on it, but if I had to, that's the day I'd pick. They are ramping up the rhetoric more than they ever did for Venezuela.
I think his birthday is coming up. That is a strong contender as well. "Happy Birthday, Mr. President. We got you Greenland."
"Wow, no one has ever gotten me one of those before. Can I do the whole Prime Nocturn thing with the Danish gals?"
That might be a better bet, even.
He’d call it T-day for sure.
If I'm thinking like an idiot a la trump I'd think then when we celebrate mlk we're actually celebrating takeover of Greenland day. In his mind maybe replacing a holiday he dislikes. Maybe another purity test for his idiot followers
Even if the US military achieve complete control of Greenland in a short time (they will not, and will learn the danes know how to fight in the snow), the first thing the next admin will do is to pull off, bring the troops home and negotiate the possible war reparations.
What next administration ?
King Vance the first
