So you're telling me that Illegal immigrants from America are crossing the border to work in Greenland without the proper visas?
How interesting.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Well here's an idea get your fucking mitary to go tell them to get the fuck out.
Problem solved.
Another week, another assholery from the orange shit stain toddler… The USA is a damn fascist terror state…
Greenland and countries that are friendly with Greenland need to show up with their military and tell those oil companies to F off
Keep an eye on them, and as soon as they start drilling, put the cuffs on them and confiscate the equipment.
The equipment was shipped without clearance. I would consider this to be illegal importation, yes? Grab those containers, make them pay a fine, and ban them from doing business in the country again.
Easy.
How do they afford the impossibly cheap gas at the special Trump gas stations? Stealing the oil.
They already have Venezuela for that
Not sure if it matters, but Venezuelas oil is heavy crude. Its good for bunker fuel for ships, but cant be easily made into gasoline.
Also, I doubt we are there for oil-- even if we are pretending we are. It'll be for something else.
US refineries are specialized for it. Which is why it is so important to the US. Refineries aren't cheap and refitting them ain't cheap. Built on the idea that we could indefinitely exploit South America.
Only Citgo
Singer acquired Citgo at a bargain price in large part due to the embargo, with limited exceptions, on Venezuela oil imports to the United States. Citgo’s refiners are purpose-built to process heavy-grade Venezuelan “sour” crude. As a result, Citgo was forced to source oil from more expensive sources in Canada and Colombia. (Oil produced in the United States is generally light-grade.) This made Citgo’s operations far less profitable.
Rare earth
Bingo. Largest sodium and lithium deposits in the known world iirc. Watch reacher season 2 it's essentially the plot.
Fuck America and Americans... Jesus
Come on, man… I’m not in charge of anything over here
Seriously. Where are you from? Now take the worst people there, that's your fault mate.
Go do something about it instead of arguing online with me
What do you do for your country?
Oh, nothing? Nice.
The amoral West has to cannibalize itself if it cannot feed on the rest of world as easily, and it won't be long until we're back in the "white on white wars" days. Ofc, everyone else will suffer but that's just life, I guess.
E... U... Good God ya'll! What is it good for?
Already begun?
No, that's your answer
