Why doesn't Greenland/Denmark disallow them from even having a base there anymore?

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.

What is that minimizing title? He's talking about an invasion of conquest. Call it that.
since these guys don't understand opsec I think I'm safe to assume they don't understand surface area either
A few people I work with are huge Trump fans and with the news of taking over Greenland they are fully onboard with it and have been trying to find racial slurs for Greenland people. These people are mentally unstable and need to be removed from society.
Look a lot of people online talk big game about how people should dump their partners or file labor abuses/lawsuits, etc. without any concept of what these things actually require from people. Chest pounding usually.
However, if you actually have colleagues who are actively trying to drop slurs at work, you need to report that shit immediately.
Agreed! Most if not everyone I’m working with is all talk and no action. For the most part I just quietly listen and laugh to myself. Let them have their own awareness of the situation when it’s far too late. Although I highly doubt they will ever become aware of how bad things are in this country.
Totally get the sentiment but you might have colleagues who are more deeply effected
I definitely believe that most are affected with something.
lol fair
Shun people like this, and if possible, quietly sabotage them.
No point in going all cloak and dagger about it. Just go straight to HR and report them. Make them decide if they want that liability. Let them ruin their own lives.
This isn’t about revenge, this is about not having to work in a hostile work environment. This is about you and your sane colleagues not having to put up with this shit on top of the shit you have to deal with at work. I have zero tolerance for this kind of stuff. somebody says something fucked up at work, they usually get one polite warning from me that I don’t wanna hear it again. After that I let HR or upper level management deal with it.
Not every workplace has HR. And in many cases, the offender may be your superior.
Cloak and dagger.
HR or upper management
You always have a boss. If not, then you’re the person who has to deal with this directly. They never said it was a superior, so we should operate under the assumption they aren’t reporting to this person.
Any American forces attacking Greenland are committing war crimes. If they listen to trump and go ahead with an attack the American military leaders of any rank will be guilty of war crimes. Let's see how many generals and admirals are willing to quit sucking trump's asshole and abide by the law.
That wouldn’t be the first time.
guilty of war crimes
And just who would try them for it?
The Revolutionary Committee
checks history notes
Trump will encounter a home-grown resistance in the US if he wages war on NATO. It will start a civil war. MMW
good thing the police have been militarizing for decades.
The problem is that invoking the term "civil war" for the US calls on a historical image of two clear sides, or perhaps the very vague handwaving history of the recent movie of the same name. There might finally be some sort of civil unrest against the government in some ways, but it won't be a Blue vs. Grey organized movement. More a fall into chaos where some places will go on as usual, while others might be a war zone type scenario caused by official lashing out at public actions. It's unprecedented, like most of recent events, and unusual because of the size and makeup of the US itself. It won't be like any other civil war.
I'd love to believe that but I find no evidence to support it
