#Trump must surely be learning from the damage sanctions have caused 2 the US. He should now drop his 'politics of the thug' against #Greenland. His administration is causing people to view the US as nationalist & imperialist. #StandwithUkraine https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c74x4m71pmjo
Why does Trump want Greenland and what do its people think?

The US president claims that control of the island is essential to American national and economic security.

The US has been nationalist and imperialist since at least 1823:

Yes, Trump is bad, but US' long history is also bad.

The US is a bully, it has a navy 10 times(!) the size of all the other navys in the world combined. They see themselves as the world police. And un-suprisingly, aren't interested in democracy, but would rather have chaos, and weak dictators in power than strong democracies that will stand up to them.
