Finally, Europeans are taking to the streets to protest against the American aggression against Europe. But it should not have taken this long. And it should not only be in 🇩🇰🇬🇱. If you want your leaders to to stop their supplication to Trump and fight for you, then you need to tell them.

lemonde.frThousands join 'Hands off Greenland' protests in Denmark against TrumpThe protest followed Donald Trump's warning on Friday that he 'may put a tariff' on countries that oppose his plans to take over mineral-rich Greenland, which is an autonomous territory of Denmark.

I think a important thing to remember is that as a American I get to own Trump. But also millions here are protesting him and the State of Minnesota is locked in battle with his ICE. Not the apparatus of the state, but the people. The front line against him and his policies is Minneapolis now.

But when are US citizens going to take to the streets? There is a limit to what Europeans can do. The power is with the American citizen? When are they going to remove Trump & his backers? We can't do it. Congress, the army and the people on the streets of the US can - if they have a mind to.

That's the thing, we have been! There been protests, oh so many protests, and across the country. What I think is happening is that folks outside the US don't know that because most protests aren't national headlines, to say nothing of international. Protests usually make state headlines at most.

This is so sad. The impression we get is of isolated groups of protesters, not linked together in anyway. If that's wrong it's down to the media- So why they aren't reporting accurately? But the main inactivity would seem to be Congress. Why are they so quiescent? Surely they have some power?

Here's some advice from an American. If trump throws more tariff taxes on American consumers to punish you for not bending the knee, tarrif the hell out of him. He's deathly afraid of the elections this year. Inflation will lead to the regimes demise

LMFAO ... When can we expect your supply ships, daylight bombing raids, parachute supply drops, propaganda leaflets, MI-6 resistance organizers, & your amphibious landing? For an ally you sure did turn on real Americans rather quickly. Trump's aggression, not mine or any other like minded patriot.

Really? Give them a break. We're responsible for the mess we're in. We and people like Merrick Garland, Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham... The justice system has given Trump countless appeals of verdicts in countless lawsuits. He was very rarely held to account. Who's fault is that? Not Denmark's.

Since Greenland is our NATO ally If there's an issue of Russian & Chinese ships near Greenland WHY must WE take over Greenland? Why wouldn't we provide them any military and diplomatic support they may need or ask for That's what allies do NATO allies now going to protect AGAINST America

Dear Europeans, NATO allies, trade partners, friends We the American people apologize for the words & actions of Donald Trump & his administration of lawless thugs They do not represent the beliefs or feelings of the majority of Americans They represent the Villionaires that own them We Are 😢&😡

Millions of people in Europe have protested their governments’ collusion in the genocide in Gaza which is ultimately part of the same military imperialist push. Their actions have been met with repression and violence The issue is that many European governments actually aren’t that different.

Americans should realize that Trump’s aggression to America is much dangerous than the one to Europe. And they should take the streets not only in Minnesota. Americans are responsible to solve the problem they’ve put the world in.

Trump needs to win Greenland to the United States if for nothing else than to prevent Denmark from filling it coast coast with Islam and public calls to Allah five times a day.

This is the same continent that plastered Ed Snowden's face all over the place a dozen years ago, so my expectations are low. Speaking of Ed, where's he living nowadays? 😗

Well, It would be nice to see some people actually demonstrate in the USA. We hear a lot from senators and people saying “it’s only Trump - not the people” but it’s pretty difficult to see? No, it should not have taken so long but it shouldn’t even be an issue that an allied try to rob a friend.

🎈🎈Supporting Denmark and Greenland comes at a price that their EU friends and neighbors pay. Let's hope this example makes others more courageous and reassured, given that the EU has the GDP of China and 100 million more inhabitants than the USA.

i argued with coworkers last friday about what ICE is doing, a 2 of them continued to fall back to trusting ICE in everything. These people are motivated by racism and jealousy. i had previously listened to them rip on a former black employee who left for a better job.

Do folks outside of the US really not realize that there protests all over the US, and have been for a long time? Like, there been people fighting the fight for a long time not every protest is national news

What every US citizen can simply do NOW: get ever growing mass of concerned to contact their reps, write/phone/email/scream outside their offices, with #impeachment demand, or, we #primary you with someone who will; find those candidates www.citizensimpeachment.com www.house.gov/representati...

citizensimpeachment.comCitizens' ImpeachmentCitizens’ Impeachment is an organization powered by American citizens with a single goal: to get Donald Trump impeached, convicted, and removed from power.

Are we going to buy Greenland? Congress? Are we going to invade Greenland" Generals? Either would have to violate their oath, laws and treaties. Damage is already compounding. The only responsible thing to do is for both to declare explicitly NOW their positions. Waiting this long looks cowardly.

NATO has been killed by Trump. True democracies and Europe need to accept that the US is no longer a democracy or a credible ally or a reliable business partner. Trump, the GOP, project 2025 and their backers are as evil as Putin, only the modus operandi is different.

Americans would protest against the aggression against Europe. Unfortunately the same who'd protest are busy protesting the violence that's being used against us within our own country. We don't want Greenland, we don't want war with our allies, but we've got our hands full with 🍊's personal police

The protests are and have been happening, don't think they aren't. Just because international news isn't filled with lists of American protests doesn't mean they aren't there. Our people are there, at great danger to themselves.

Yes, but Europeans need to stop waiting for the Americans to do something. They must get out of this mentality. Americans aren't going to ride in to save the day and replace the bad 'daddy' with a good one. 🇺🇸 is a lost cause, it's not going to get better. It's time for Europe to grow up.

There is no Congress--until we ALL demand one. Call or email your GOP legislative cowards and give them hell. Dare them to participate in democracy for once. If a few of us do it, nothing even stirs. WE ALL must do it--make them more afraid of us than of Trump. #VoteBlue

Perhaps the European governments need to be more firm with the tantrum toddler and his entourage. It’s what Putin wants by the longer it goes on, the more damaging it will be.

🎈 The UK has sent troops to Greenland and is now under US sanctions along with others... bsky.app/profile/en.f...

There's a big difference between the two. Americans are stuck with Trump. That is their president. Trump is not the "president of Europe" as he claims. But European leaders have behaved like he is, and so far they have gotten little push-back from citizens & media for their supplication.

European citizens are also to blame here. They elected these people and they have been disengaged from what is happening. The leaders are not paying any domestic political price for surrendering to Trump. Protests will change that.

This is not about believes who is whose president. This is about army size and its capacity. European citizens had good quality of life consuming cheap russian oil&gas(despite making deals with putin) and milking other colonies for years covered by US army. The game has changed.

Trumps answer is threatening with tariff increase of 10% and in June it will be 25%…. What/who in the world will stop this grandpa…..

My dude, what are you taking about? There were large protests in solidarity with the US “No Kings” rallies last year, all over Europe.

A lot of this comes from the rest of the worlds leaders Molly coddling a petulant brat of a child in the White House and placating him by pretending he’s a serious leader. He’s not. This is a farce of an administration. Europe must send the right message once and for all and Cut. Him. OFF! NOW!

How do you not know that the No Kings protests were worldwide. I guess news from the world rarely filters through. Europeans ARE taking to the streets, about much more than the current European aggression.

The protests are and have been happening, don't think they aren't. Just because international news isn't filled with lists of American protests doesn't mean they aren't there.

The EU has done piss-all to stop Russia. They will do even less to stop the US. As an American ex-pat living in and working on citizenship in Germany, I am so incredibly disappointed.

this is the kind of fantastical crazy shit someone does when they know they're dying and their time will be up soon. he's obviously sick...so is putting his name on anything & everything...trying to hoard like crazy bc he thinks it's good for his legacy. he's done with consequences bc there are none

In Europe trump is considered a loud mouth lying pedophile not worth getting upset spending energy on. If just Denmark sends a shipment of free Ozempic to the US the obese maga sect will doze off again into their opiate haze

And when will you Americans start to stand up against your terror leader? There is a lot of resistance against USA here already, but it seems the USAers are pretty ok with it.

We are not ok with it but they are causing Americans to focus on other shite like ICE and staying alive. While he takes what he wants. You have the luxury of focusing on one thing. And we thank you 🙏🏽

If the suppression is so huge that you can't stand up against Nazi America, then you let it slip way too long. Then, you should work underground, like in 40-45. Blow up railways, shoot Nazi's (you have guns for exactly that, right?), government buildings on fire... But, I think it's not so far yet.

Most people live paycheck to paycheck here and guns are rampant. You have to be prepared to die and no one is. They are struggling just to feed their families and keep the lights on. We are trying to strike and bleed out corporations.

Fair point. I’m even wondering if No Kings was a Republican initiative. Just as it was gaining steam it disappeared. There’s no sense of urgency in the news we do get. So much of it is just an infomercial in disguise. I saw a nice segment on blankets recently. Even the Dems seem oddly quiet.

Do you mean geographically large? Because I think you might be a victim of Mercator’s projection (like Trump with Greenland) —continental US is about the same size as Australia so not so huge — and they manage to organise and act.

Yes, & Texas alone is around the size of France. It’s very hard to organize nationwide strikes and I say this as someone who has traveled to DC several times to do so & I also march locally. Major cities are marching, but there are vast areas of the US that have limited means to travel.

The brazen evil is not shocking at this point. It’s what we now expect from the Trump Crime Regime. But the horror of invading Greenland is so far outside the norm for civilized societies, I hope the world’s immediate reaction would be outside the norm, as well. Evil-doers can become targets.

I would be against it 100% and I would hate to no end, but I wouldn't be surprised if we, the US, invaded at this point. The head of the government has given up on objective reality and has long abandoned morality.

Ashamed to be european, if they had been using their potential instead of sucking Putin and Trumpies dick er could have been a superpower, but no, we talk and talk, over climate, over shitty rules, meanwhile throwing away our defensecapasities, weak leadership left us in big danger

C’mon Europe! We need you too. This guy over here IS the Temu Hitler. Everyone needs to resist. Also, I’m sorry a third of my countrymen are stupid, hateful racists and another third are too distracted to care.
