"The United States has reached out to Denmark..."

You know, the country the United States wants to invade and forcefully take land from.

America: The dumbest rocks in the sock drawer.

I fucking hate living in the US. It's embarrassing.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 hour ago

I propose a deal. It could be known as the best deal ever! The US ramps up support of Ukraine, so they can finally beat Russia and get peace. Then invite Ukraine into NATO. This also forms a buffer for Europe against Russia. Then Europe will send you all the eggs you need, for free.

A simple "Fuck off America" would suffice

Hi, please don't. Let us suffer so these fuckers can hurt more. - Californian

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 hour ago

As a true American, don't help us with eggs, it'l hurt your country in the long run. Let us suffer so we can get our heads out of our asses and purge the nazis.

Get on your knees and beg, donny.

Hold the line Denmark. Don't pull a fucking Australia. Fuck those guys.

The world: How much are your eggs?

Trump: $100

The world: Sure we'll help... that will be $99.

Ask Canada… oh, wait!

WOMP WOMP WOMP, EH?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Just picked up 2 dozen local eggs for $9.99CAD.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Fuck kinda pricey bud. Where abouts?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 hour ago

Local farmers market in 'Berta.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 hours ago

This is why we HAD allies. Had. To assist with the largesse we consume as Americans. You don’t get to swing your orange dick around at the world, offending and assaulting every ally, and then ask for help.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

Rest of the world: “No”

[–] [email protected] 60 points 3 hours ago

Help? Help? What happened to wanting to be a proud independent country that don't need no allies.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago

We'll help out, but it will take some weeks. Those eggs don't become rotten in a day.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 hours ago

Is this some kind of sick joke?? Get fucked.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Oh now Trump wants allies?

Recognize the passive voice: "The US has reached out". They don't say Trump reached out or the Trump administration reached out.

Lay your own eggs, turkey looking cunt.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 hours ago

If we did, we couldn’t import them and charge a tariff to bleed our people dry one egg at a time until they are broke and slaves on the corporate plantation.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Oh? I was under the impression you didn't need us lesser and grifter nations? That we took you for a ride?

Hm... I propose a fair trade - you might even call if "the best deal ever". Our eggs, for your cards.

Wait, I forgot. Your cards lost their value recently, as they couldn't do shit for Ukraine against our common enemy.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

So Trump can't get it under control. Got it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 26 minutes ago

Well, he solved it on day one.

On day two, eggs went unexpectedly expensive again. It's not his fault.

[–] [email protected] 154 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Do not help us. This is what we deserve.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

What's ironic is that from all countries he is asking Denmark. Greenland is Ann autonomous territory under the kingdom of Greenland.

I heard that before asking Greenland he was asking Canada as well.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 16 minutes ago

I think you meant "kingdom of Denmark" there, but yeah

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

Is he trying to neg us by threatening our sovereignty and then asking for a favour??? Most high schoolers know better than to fall for that. Like, get real.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 hour ago

I think that's the point. Bullying/Threatening countries and then "asking" them for help. Then if they don't oblige he uses it to booster support for the bullying and threats. Similar ordeal with cutting aid to Egypt and then asking them to take something like 1.5 million people in from Gaza that Trump doesn't want on their homeland.

Denmark, from who they want to steal Greenland. They are obviously terminally stupid in Washington.

Americas chickens coming home to roost

[–] [email protected] 91 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

You want em?

Take your trade war agression and shove it up your ass!

You want to take our sovereignty away?

…starve.
