Denmark's former NATO ambassador slams Trump's bid to takeover Greenland as American imperialism

The utter brutal stupidity of this Administration is beyond the pale.
So USA is on the way to becoming a major threat to the free world.
Insane is as insane does.

Jan 9, 2026
Francis Maxwell reacts to Denmark’s latest warning to Donald Trump after he continues to threaten Greenland with military action.

Why?

Unbelievable.
Like how many times does humanity have to witness this insanity play out in destruction and loss? The storyline is known, and guaranteed, and it ends in disaster for everything alive on this planet. Russians thought they’d have Ukraine nailed in a few months. etc, etc,

Philosophy and education, even religion was supposed to be about helping humanity understand itself and challenge and to more constructively deal with it, than in past.

Today’s world is our legacy, the worship of progress and ever increasing profit & consumption, regardless of the externalities and physical reality of our finite Earth.

The condescending thoughtless disregard for the real world stakes we are gambling away, and the utter disregard for the consequences of our action. Mind boggling.

And all we seem to be able to do is, double down, throw more gas on this global bonfire of the vanities.

Trump is extending foolishly the number of times

Selective outrage. Calling out greenland (that hasnt happened) and nothing on the kidnapping of maduro and wife and stealing Venezuela resources that has and is happening

Georgieboy, if some one had called out about the Venezuela kidnapping, you would have barked he has not called about Palestine, and so.

Greenland was his topic this day, not Venezuela.

Now, if Trump attacks Greenland, Nato explodes and Putin and China are very very happy.

On this board you demonstrate you are a follower not a leader - reactive not proactive. Its commentary on the white people matter output on this board. Iran is not the topic OF THIS DAY either.

In the event that USA invades and colonies Greenland, if Europe does not pull out of NATO it just goes to show the weak vassal states to the US the EU has become.

Europe vassal of USA is not news since 1945.

I really hope you are wrong.

Yet you would claim you live in a democracy. I see european troops have been deployed to Greenland.

Yes, and the relationship ?

You should be happy Europe shows she is disagreeing with Trump.

Are you defending Trump ?

Or, are you a troll, may be Russian, systematically taking the opposite opinion of the people who express themselves, even contradicting yourselves?

Selective posting - I’m outraged by all of MAGA’s insanity, but my mental health is important so I must limit myself on these sorties into the human contamination zone that is MAGA.

Especially their blind-sided love for the bully along with their idiotic passions for vandalizing all civil and national agreements that took decades to centuries to develop and establish - although we never even managed to get the ERA passed but that’s a different story, which does tie in.

Sort of like when you have a nuclear meltdown and the clean up crews only have 5 minute shifts inside before, before contamination builds up too much, and then have to run out of there, and hand off the job to the next crew-mate.

Yes, the Maduro & wife kidnapping, is even more insane and viciously hateful, not to mention hate creating . . . (Vicious, which is just how MAGAs wants it - unfortunately the are too stupid and self-indulgent to recognize how monstrously self-destructive that always works out for societies and human beings. Of course society is a bad word for them, it’s all about me, me, me.

So what do you want me to do, specially considering me, like you, are utterly impotent to do anything. I dare say I’ve tried harder than your lazing trolling self, all for naught. It is what it is.

etc.

What’s with you anyways? Want me to be your fan boy? I could never do that since I’ve gotten a sense what you are, (whether carbon based or silicon based), if you were given the power, you’d easily be as unhinged and terrible as the trumpster fire. Save your chest thumping for the mirror.

How can you live in democracy when your country puts another country’s interests ahead of their own people - a loyal servant you say since 1945.

I hope europe does pushes back on USA and breaks this. The good for russia tropes arent doing much for your credibility .

Will be looking out for your thoughts on trumps genocide and ethic cleanising in gaza and west bank, and on americas invasion and regime change in cuba, iran, mexico, nigeria and columbia

It’s all pretty tragic, especially when we realize the roots of these crime lead back to human nature and a couple millennia of self-glorification.

But you know it’s not all about us, but guess . . .

It’s all a crying shame and it takes a strong heart and healthy sense of self to face the horrors we have introduced into our own lives. But instinct driven animals do as animals will, and the devil takes the hindmost.

Apolitical commentary on these events holds no value worth discussing

Okay we can agree on that.
enough with the (at this point) pointless politics.
Let’s do some biological reality for a change.

What will you be present too?

Let’s talk about something more interesting and positive.
We were created to use our little gray cells for more than hatred and jumping on bandwagons.

Lets discuss something exciting, Who Are You?

See ya around the neighborhood. :sunflower:

Oh here’s another amazing example of science in action, they can now describe the mechanism the caused the massive carbon uptake during the roller coaster Eocene climate. Folds within folds of harmonic, constructive, poetry in motion.

The Azolla Event shows how small organisms can reshape the entire planet when conditions allow. It is a reminder that Earth’s climate system can pivot on surprisingly fragile biological processes.

Checks and balances, is how the world goes around.

See the heading ???..

:rofl:

I thought I was responding to your latest non sequitur.

Sorry didn’t mean to ruffle your feathers. :bouquet:

Youre responding to yourself

Trump dumps 10% tariff on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands and Finland will begin on 1 February and increase to 25% on 1 June.

How will Europe respond

Good question. I hope, a little.

Democracy can be pushed very far, but when pushed too much, they react strongly.

They will give Greenland to USA and tell its citizens we fought so hard against this but at the end of the day its in your best interests
