Greenland's Prime Minister Múte Bourup Egede rejected President Trump's claim in his sweeping address Tuesday night that the U.S. was "going to get" control of Greenland.

"We need Greenland for national security and even international security. And we're working with everybody involved to try and get it," Mr. Trump said. "But we need it really for international world security. And I think we're going to get it — one way or the other, we're going to get it. We will keep you safe. We will make you rich. And together, we will take Greenland to heights like you have never thought possible before."

"Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland in the Greenlandic language) is ours," Egede wrote on social media. "We don't want to be Americans, nor Danes; We are Kalaallit. The Americans and their leader must understand that. We are not for sale and cannot simply be taken. Our future will be decided by us in Greenland."

Mr. Trump has brought up taking control of Greenland before, which is located to the northeast of Canada and is largely covered by the Greenland Ice Sheet. The largest island in the world, but home to only around 60,000 people, Greenland is a semi-autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark, with its own elected government.

5. If he tries I see a world war 3 happening

Europe is not going to stand for him taking over a sovereign nation.

And more than half of Americans will not to go to war over the orange hitlers gift to Putin !

[Aristus]

7. The Trump half of the country isn't going to go to war over

Greenland, either. I’ve never seen a more useless crew of out-of-shape, soft-bellied, slack-muscled, steatopygous Mama’s boys in my life.

Those 300lbs sacks of shit can parade around in their surplus store camo and tactical gear all they want. Real, genuine military action requires levels of physical fitness, self-discipline, ability to take orders (not to mention ability to know if an order is an illegal one), and resolve to give your life for that of your buddy that these idiots could never even dream of. I know from experience. I have a Form DD-214.
