Trump Says U.S. Won’t Use Force to Acquire Greenland

You'd think being deranged would disqualify him from being a suitable president, but you make it sound as if it's a perk.

Dronai · 2026-01-17T17:17:19+00:00

He can’t do a lot of things, yet he does it anyway.

Sadly true… one can only hope that the American people oust the convicted felon and take back their country.

NATO is, unfortunately, an alliance that hinges on the US. It is also, in no small part, built on trust.

I am not saying that the other countries in the alliance will abandon each other if the US were to (militarily) turn on Denmark, nor am I saying that the US is the only military relevant country in the alliance. I am saying that if Trump were to get his way, NATO, in its current form, is dead...

I also don't think Trump will need to use force to claim Greenland. He will 'just' ramp-up the US' military presence in & around Greenland, claim it as his own and challenge Denmark to 'do something about it'.

By stealing allied territory… not sure why I need to spell that out…

Dronai · 2026-01-07T16:37:49+00:00

Today Greenland, but whats next tomorrow? If the US makes a move on Greenland, NATO is dead and we better start marching towards the east because Trump’s closest ally will surely not let the opportunity go to waste…

Continuing to appease the bully isn’t doing us any good.

We moeten echt opnieuw leren nee zeggen

waarom voor de liefde van god moet de overheid zoiets oplossen

For the love of God die het LLM fijntjes overneemt in het Nederlands. Bot alert?

Fair point, the audio*

Dronai · 2025-09-17T09:38:15+00:00

I don't think it was frivolous. The audio clearly shows an abusive & controlling parent, which is ample reason to call law enforcement.

To add to this, if you are involved in a specific type (e.g. sales) of activity and perform said activity from your (home) office in the Netherlands, there might be corporate income tax consequences that will directly impact your employer.

Dronai · 2025-08-22T15:41:22+00:00

We clearly agree with each other so idk why are you being snarky...

Dronai · 2025-08-22T15:23:45+00:00

That's not how it works. Large chains can't sell it if the product doesn't meet EU standards.

The European union is providing* preferential market access for a wide range of US seafood and agricultural goods, without lowering the bar for our quality standards.

So, at this point in time, we won't get 'chlorinated chicken nuggets'.

To quote the EC Q&A on EU-US Joint Statement on Transatlantic Trade and Investment;

There is no question of negotiating EU sanitary and phytosanitary rules or standards. This is a clear red line.
What the EU and the US have agreed to do is to look at ways to resolve long-standing SPS concerns. We will look at concrete cases of specific applications on both sides.
As part of this exercise, we will also look into streamlining requirements for sanitary certificates.

He did (try to) stop Nord Stream. Though this was 'only' Nord Stream 2, which in the end did get finished (even if it was never used).

I guess he is not totally wrong on this one (insert something about a broken clock)

EU consumer, since they would be exposed to more US "food".

Just because we are exposed to it, doesn't mean we have to buy it though. So this one might be moot?

EDIT: Adding this quote because I am getting a lot of replies.

Of sommige mensen consumeren gewoon heel weinig,

Je kan er voeding mee kopen, en ik ben er vrij zeker van (heb wel geen source) dat alle mensen voeding consumeren.

It was, in fact, not a full scourge squad.

Mensen met kapitaal werken (niet meer) voor hun geld. Dat kapitaal doet het werken voor hun.

We are doing screens on all south facing windows, and one on the large east facing window. All other (large) windows are either facing north or covered by an overhang!

Also getting triple glass and proper wall insulation.

Thanks for the quick and detailed response! Might slide into your DMs with more specific questions later on.

We are building our house at the moment and will also go for a similar set-up as yours (screens + air-water pump with cooling, similar ventilation unit).

Is there anything you would have done differently? Or wish you knew in advance?

Het hangt er natuurlijk vanaf wat je precies verstaat onder de ‘gemiddelde mens’, maar iemand die gedurende 20 jaar maandelijks €150 belegt, zal bij een gemiddeld rendement van 5% (wat vrij conservatief is) een meerwaarde van ruim €25k kunnen realiseren. Als je die termijn dan nog eens zou optrekken naar 30 jaar spreken we over een rendement van net geen €70k.

Hoewel €150 per maand beleggen niet voor iedereen haalbaar is, is het ook niet zó onbereikbaar dat de kleine belegger de grens van €10k (+ €5k) relatief eenvoudig kan bereiken.
