Trump: ‘We are going to do something on Greenland whether they like it or not’ (www.cnbc.com)

Donald Trump said Friday his administration will take action on Greenland “whether they like it or not,” further escalating his rhetoric as he pushes to acquire the Danish territory for the U.S.

The comments came during a meeting with oil executives to discuss the prospect of doing business in Venezuela. Less than a week earlier, the U.S. military invaded the oil-rich South American nation and captured its leader, Nicolás Maduro.

Denmark and its European allies in NATO – the military alliance co-founded by the U.S. – have pushed back, reiterating that Greenland is not for sale. But the Trump administration nevertheless says it is currently weighing a range of options on Greenland, including utilizing the U.S. military or cutting a deal to purchase it from Denmark.

So, when is china going to invade taiwan? if the US can invade and pillage venezuela and take greenland, what is stopping Xi to go there? There is no "international rights" whatsoever.

We are closer than we think to WWIII than we thought and is mostly the US fault. I hope that if this is going to happen, the US ends up like Nazi Germany, because it has been closer and closer everyday to it.

I mean common. What did greenland expect just letting its oil hang out like that? I mean what did they think would happen? Obviously its happening and they should just relax and enjoy it.

Substitute "Greenland" for "young girl"
Makes sense.
