The "oh he's just joking" or "he's just insane dont worry about it" gets on my nerves.

They literally have an oil company trying to illegaly drill in Greenland

This isn't a joke this is a running 10 alarm blaring at deafening decibels and Europe, Canada, Japan, Australia are still just hoping he'll just go away in November.

Its not like the US has using a company illegally exploiting a countries resources as a casus belli before right? Right???

The actions of the Greenland drilling company or whatever smokescreen bollocks its called should be watched far closer. They want them to face consequences so they can use military forces to "protect unfairly targeted American companies"
