Borowitz:

"WASHINGTON—In a counterproposal designed to ease tensions with the United States, on Thursday Greenland suggested that Donald J. Trump acquire Jeffrey Epstein’s island instead.

“President Trump has no roots on our island,” Greenlandic government spokesman Hartvig Dorkelson said. “Epstein’s island, on the other hand, must stir many happy memories for him.”

Acknowledging that Epstein’s island “could benefit from rebranding,” Dorkelson said, “More than the Kennedy Center, this is a place that should have Trump’s name on it.”

Meanwhile, Trump ramped up his imperialist rhetoric, declaring that the US needed to own Lapland in order to corner the world market in laptops."
 
Yesterday there was polling that showed even 68% of Republicans were against the idea, now today we see this. From The Hill

yeah sure. He’s the commander in chief. Is he orders the military to do it, they’ll do it. It’s not like the R’s will impeach him.
 
The military is full of those people things, which are different from the machine things and may be less enthusiastic about carrying out his orders. We could imagine the brass telling him that they are doing as he ordered, and perhaps even show him LLM-generated images and footage of it being done, just to make him stop ranting about it. I mean, they are strategists, and the best strategy for attacking your own citizens is to do it in the Sit-Room and make the crazy person think it is happening outside the Sit-Room.
 
Greenland officials consider renaming their island to "Epstein Islands" in an apparent attempt to make sure Trump will never mention their territory ever again
 
Renamed this thread to something a little broader with Tom's permission. Carry on.
 
It looks like Germany, Sweden, France, Norway, the Netherlands and Finland will all have additional boots on the ground in Greenland as a show of solidarity for international law and sovereignty.

Not just the world, but his own party is against him on this one. I think he'll end up caving on it as a result.
 
We have a saying back home.... there are two types of grief.
1. The loss of somebody you love.
2. Seeing somebody you love lose themselves.

I feel with what we are seeing in the US right now, the world is grieving on number 2.

From a world superpower perspective this article over at the Atlantic makes a great point about the current foreign policy risking the US being over stretched:
