Trump's US Threat to Greenland (which belongs to Denmark)

Calm down. I just thought it was funny. "Liebensraum" would mean something like "love land". I choose to interpret this as something along the lines of "desired land" I.e., Trump doesn't want Greenland for any practical purpose, but just because he's in love with the idea of having Greenland.

Okay, that is a little bit funny.

Yes, you did. I didn't question that.

I asked if you meant Grenada, because Grenada is an independent sovereign state in the Caribbean, whereas Granada is a province of the autonomous community of Andalusia, Spain, or the capital city of said province. It is not an independent sovereign state.

...The Spanish model is generally considered by foreign political scientists and scholars as "a federal system with certain peculiarities". However it is also described as a decentralised unitary country.

It isn't even an autonomous community, just a mere province. The capital of the province (also Granada) is a spectacular city with the most excellent palace, the Al-Hambra. Amazing place in great condition.

That is pretty funny. Calling it Love Island to improve its appeal is very much on-brand considering the story about how it came to be called Greenland.

With a minimum amount of Trump's effort (and money) I can easily imagine the Parliament being dissolved in its current configuration, and new elections resulting in the Rightists getting the majority seats, with the stated intention of being amenable to an American takeover.

1. False flag attack on the Pituffik Space BaseWP

2. Social media push for retaliatory action.

4. US troops land in Greenland to protect Americans.

5. General cheering and support from majority of US citizens.

6. Parliamentarians in Reykjavik arrested for war crimes.

7. Puppet government established.

8. Great success declared by President for Life Trump.

9 Greenland US Territory established.

Couldn't happen?

Already at point 1 that's incredibly unlikely.
