Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. 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.
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.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.

Just fucking kill them, let the ravens feast.
trump is essentially Temu Putin
This is so stupid.
And you all know why the government wants Greenland, right? What US industry stands to benefit?
Oil.
It’s so shallow and obvious, it’s unreal.
We could more easily get oil from Alaska, there’s plenty of it.
I would say it seems to be for the rare earth minerals. As seen on this article, the US is interested in having Greenland since 1867.
"We can ascertain that there are continuously foreign actors showing interest in Greenland and its current position within the kingdom. Therefore, it should not come as a surprise if, in the near future, we see foreign attempts to influence the kingdom's future," > "Any attempt at interference in the internal affairs of the kingdom will, of course, be unacceptable," he said.
DR had reported that at least three Americans with close connections to Trump were involved in the influencing operations, citing eight anonymous sources in both Denmark and the U.S., including government officials.
Polling of Greenlanders indicates little appetite on the island for being absorbed into the U.S.
USA is not an ally to anyone, just look at how they've behaved against Canada, a country that is generally considered USA's closest ally for decades.
Denmark too has been one of the closest allies to USA for half a century. And USA could easily make defense agreements regarding Greenland with Greenland and Denmark. Yet they choose to behave like an enemy!!!
USA is behaving like an enemy, and behaving like an enemy, actually makes you one.
For Christ sake, stop the purchase from Denmark of F35!! What the fuck is our government thinking continuing that moronic program?
Edit:
Yes yes yes I get it, I was wrong about Canada supporting USA in the revolution. I'd have preferred not to change the text so many people have already responded to, but I keep getting the same message over and over again.
Canadian here. your statement is categorically false.
America was our enemy up until around the 1900s. the colonies that became Canada were loyalist, IE, opposed to the secessionist revolution. And we were also invaded by America in 1812. There may have also been plans for a second invasion in the 1860/1870 after the Civil War.
It wasn't until about the first world war that we were even remotely allied. and even then, Canada went to war first in both world wars. only to be joined by America 2-3 years later. We were not formal allies until we founded NATO together.
Canada, a country that supported the US fight for independence, and has been their #1 ally ever since.
Uh... No it didn't, and no it wasn't.
Maybe starting like 50 years after that...

At the outset of the American Revolutionary War, the American revolutionaries hoped the French Canadians in Quebec and the Colonists in Nova Scotia would join their rebellion. They were pre-approved for joining the United States in the Articles of Confederation. When northeastern Quebec was invaded, thousands joined the American cause
Yeah this was hilarious hubris. The Yanks believed that everyone thought as they did.
I always thought Canada was with France, and supported USA in the American revolution.
Anyways up until recently Canada was generally thought (AFAIK) to be USA's closest ally.
Canada was still Loyalist British territory. Canada would have been on the opposite side of US and France.
Canada was also not a sovereign nation at that point, It was still multiple colonial territories. What became of Canada was essentially the territory that remained loyalist during the revolution, or territory the rebels americans failed to take.
so in other words, Canada didnt exist back then, it was just Loyalist Colonials and the British vs Rebel Colonials and the French. amongst other minor participants german mercenaries, dutch, natives etc
You thought Canada...a British colony... Was siding with France against it's own owner in support of the the US in breaking away from Britain, but decided not to secede itself?!
They basically ran up and said "Hey we are liberating ourselves from the British. How about we help you do the same and with the French too and then we can all be one happy family. The Canadians did a "nah, that's all right, thanks" and walked away.
Honestly I believe that the US would have been in a better place if we remained like Canada or Australia. We could have avoided hundreds of years of bullshit.
I absolutely understand why USA didn't want to be a colony under a king. Where all the profits go to the king, and Americans had zero influence.
The idea of making a democracy is obviously better than a dictatorship.
But unfortunately they designed a very flawed democracy, in an attempt to maintain efficiency in governance.
I understand they didn't know better at the time. But why didn't USA reform their democracy already back in the 70's?
Of course it's because it worked reasonably well back then, and it was impossible to predict the rapid decline that started with Reagan.
The flawed democracy only worked as long as both sides respected and protected it, but Republicans began clearly disrespecting it already with Reagan, and it's only gotten worse since.
So now USA is in a situation where they are very near to require a new revolution to become a functional democracy.
The funny part is that there was a lot of propaganda. Example: no taxation without representation was actually false. The population in the UK was much higher than in the colonies, and since the colonies had members in parliament, they actually had a higher level of representation than other citizens.
But even back then, the UK was a democracy. The US took a look back at ancient Greece and combined that with a lot of 18th century philosophy to make the government we see today.
We didn't support the USA's fight for independence. They invaded us and we kicked their asses. They tried again in 1812 with similar results.
Yeah, Canada is literally the only country that has ever razed our capitol. They literally burned down the white house. I mean technically they were British at the time but they were the great great grandparents of today's Canadians. As an American it feels really intensely stupid saber rattling at them when they're friends by default.
That's not quite true. The people who burned down the White House were British, full stop. It was mostly Canadians that fought off the American invasion and won the war, but the burning was done by fleet of ships carrying British troops that had been stationed in Bermuda at the time.
Oh I stand corrected. I still respect Canada, but now respect the British even less than I did previously.
I wouldn't say we've been their #1 supporter since the war of independence. On average over the last 300ish years, sure. They did invade us in 1812 though.
They did invade us in 1812 though.
Fun fact, the US barely teaches anyone about the war of 1812 🙃 It's usually like, a page in a textbook for most people. It's rare for anyone in the US to actually know any details about it, or even what it was about.
I look forward to the reenactment of the big fire
Not sure who's downvoting you because youre right.
It’s been a while since I’ve been in a history class, but I wanna say France was typically considered the US’s closest ally during and after the revolutionary war. Not sure how close that relationship has stayed since, though.
OK I didn't know that.
But again that was USA being hostile, not Canada.
Oh yeah it was 100% them being hostile. Canada was basically the easy target to take out frustrations they had with the crown. Didn't work though they mostly just cost thousands of lives and got the white house burned down.
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.
They have been looking for locals who may bepro Trump. So it sounds like they know
Here’s your answer: trump is a vile traitor cunt who’s putting on a show to satisfy his unbounded narcissism. Americans don’t want Greenland. We have enough land.
It is astounding how much Putin was able to damage this country by exploiting the vile republican filth.
It doesn't really matter what Americans want anymore. Pay for the ticket, take the ride.
Yeah, I didn't vote for fascism, either.
I did not purchase this ticket!!
mr. bones says: the ride never ends
