> acquire land via direct negotiations with Greenland natives
"Greenland does not want to be controlled by the US. Greenland does not want to be owned by the US." - Jens-Fredrik Nielsen, Greenland PM
This view is shared by ~95% of Greenlanders.
You can't unilaterally enter "direct negotiations" with people to purchase their belongings. The active and willing participation of both parties is a key element of a genuine negotiation.
From my point of view in Europe, the trail that Trump is following by persecuting opponents, disregarding and abusing law, deploying a pretorian guard and defending territorial expansionism is in the history books, and is a template followed by Hitler, but by no means only by Hitler. China has no track record of being an expansionist bully that threatens everybody except other bullies, like the USA is doing right now.
I never thought of seeing a comic book type dystopia unrolling before my eyes, but that's what I'm seeing and I'm worried because I have children.
You clearly DON’T “get it”.. obviously Trump is different than Hitler, but to say he’s nothing remotely close is some serious handwaving.
ICE is acting a LOT like the Gestapo.
Trump is telling obvious lies and his supporters simply parrot it as fact. That was a big part of Hitlers power, the propaganda machine that made it acceptable for otherwise intelligent people to pretend to believe the obvious lies.
Trump is aggressively threatening to expand the empire, under similar dubious security reasons.
How much does history need to rhyme before you actually notice?

A lie. Opinion polls suggest 85% of Greenlanders oppose the territory joining the US.
> As Americans
Would you bloody stop? Most of us here aren't Americans.
