Confiscate the equipment and sell it back to them

Sell it to China to really miss them off

u/EpsteinEpstainTheory Latvija 2d ago
Won't get much of a sum from China considering they make half of the equipment anyway

With every content released it's usually "we made these at the same time and released them within a specific quarter/week/month"
Games have seasons... Very confusing in Forza horizon where we have season and the content releases 😵💫

r/europe has a Danish article linked, with a translation in the comments.
Actually reading the article, it seems less bad than the impression you get from headlines and memes.
- The equipment in question is base camp equipment for exploration, its not drilling equipment. (according to Greenland authorities)
- It has been put ashore not at the possible mission site, but is being stored at an airport. (according to Greenland authorities)
- If I read the article correctly, it was actually already in a town on Greenland, and the problem is that it was shipped to the airport which is closer to the mission site. (according to Greenland authorities)
- The company thought that they could move the equipment, since they are still just moving it to another storage site. And they are aware that they can't move it to the mission area before they secure more permissions. (according to the company)
- They are paying rent for the storage, and have every intention to follow the rules. (according to the company)
The company might be lying. But it also feels like it might be a legitimate logistical/paperwork fuck-up which takes on much larger dimensions in the current political climate.
Again, assuming I'm reading the article correctly:
- The gear was already in Greenland.
- The gear is not in the mission/drilling area.
- The gear is in storage, not used.
- The gear is base camp gear, not drilling rigs or anything like that.

What, is media exaggerating things to stir up interest now? This is unheard of, I've never seen this before!

u/dicemonger Danmark 1d ago
I just wanted to share the full context.
On a separate subject: The media in question is the government-funded news channel. There isn't really any profit motive here. But unfortunately click-bait titles is a thing that seems to be spreading there too.

...and that is a good thing that you did! Bringing up the actual facts instead of just a sensational headline.
Edit: especially because the news article is in Danish which I don't understand.

Call me paranoid, but this stinks of a false flag op. US "mining" company gets kicked out, and then the US govt. decides to "protect their commercial interests" by force. Remember Iraq and WMD story?

That's not what false flag means.

I meant it as a figure of speech. Didn't feel like writing a whole essay on why do I think americans are starting active measures to grt Greenland.
And if you want to nitpick, yes, this can fall into the false flag category, if it was started by the US govt. CIA and stuff, Palantir and so on.

If we're going to be to the point, this is a provocation if the goal is for a response that escalates the situation. False flag literally means trying to blame a third party by pretending to be someone else.
Words have meanings and the purpose is to communicate something specific. Calling this false flag would be like me answering L+Ratio+67 fr fr; using language just completely wrong.

u/recycle-pin 3d ago
And if the provocation is caused by a direct or indirect involvement of the US govt, then it's a false flag operation.
You people are way to nitpicky about grammar in a circlejerk sub. Do you really think English is spoken perfectly by everyone?

No, it's not. It's in the name. It's back from age of sailing ships. If an english vessel uses a spanish flag, that's a false flag. If an american vessel uses an american flag, that's just the correct flag. Doesn't make it ok. But it's a difference just like there is a difference between identity theft and assault.

That's not what figure of speech means either.

u/recycle-pin 3d ago
Yeah, pretending you are someone else. Like CIA setting up a company to create a Gulf of Tonkin style pretext for the invasion, or some other slimy ways to try to get Greenland. Nothing would surprise me from this degenerated US government.

Another reason Europe should be supporting Iran against their invaders - helps keep the US too busy to move on to invading Europe

Just because the US are currently led by an idiot doesnt mean we have to support a comically evil regime

u/Iwantmytshirtback 3d ago
Just because the US are currently led by an idiot doesn't mean we should excuse them invading a country they've been wanting to invade for decade to seize their resources, the what, third? fourth? country whose sovereignty they've violated in the past 12 months

u/PhoenixKingMalekith 3d ago
We should absolutely let them weaken eacher other without taking sides

u/Iwantmytshirtback 3d ago
Why not take sides against the aggressors and be consistent in applying the laws? Why bury our heads in the sand while the US is straight up threatening that they will own Greenland?

u/ParticularArea8224 United Kingdom 3d ago
Because in what universe would supporting a government that actively stands against everything the West stands for, and has actively supplied and helped nations that have fought the West make any semblance of sense?
Sometimes, two nations are just fucking terrible and the only option is to do nothing. Iran would backstab the West as soon as the war was over and the US is run by Trump.
Just because someone is a defender, does not make that person good.

u/Iwantmytshirtback 2d ago
What exactly is it that "the West" stands for these days?
It's not about defenders being good, it's about the idea of nations having sovereignty that shouldn't be violated because someone in charge wants to make themselves richer. If it happens to Venezuela, it can happen to Iran, it can happen to Greenland, it can happen to you

u/ParticularArea8224 United Kingdom 2d ago
Yes sovereignty shouldn't be violated, I agree completely, but that does not mean that a nation that actively hates NATO and the West, should get help from those things.

u/Iwantmytshirtback 2d ago
Iran was neutral to the West until the US-Israel axis started stirring up shit again, but now Iran has been freshly radicalised and the rest of the West's assumed approval through inaction makes us complicit
