Donald Trump has ordered his special forces commanders to draw up a plan for the invasion of Greenland - but is being resisted by senior military figures, The Mail on Sunday has learned.
Sources say that the policy 'hawks' around the US President, led by political adviser Stephen Miller, have been so emboldened by the success of the operation to capture Venezuela's leader Nicolas Maduro that they want to move quickly to seize the island before Russia or China makes a move.
British diplomats believe that Trump is also motivated by a desire to distract American voters from the performance of the US economy before the mid-term elections

Very bad idea. I hope it's fake news.

I read he was thinking to incentivize the Greenlanders with greenbacks so they’ll petition to separate from Denmark.

Just remember that The Daily Mail is a leftist rag sheet about 30 points below The National Enquirer for journalistic integrity!!!
At least The National Enquirer is right every once in a while!!!

As I understand it, the Pentagon has invasion plans for every country.

Here we go with diplomats again. Why would we need to invade Greenland? Isn't the American military presence there bigger than anything Greenland has itself? We probable pay for Greenland's existence anyway.

British diplomats WISH the had Americas economy. With trillions of business investment happening, new energy projects coming on line, and the TARIFFS working beyond any diplomats imagination, 2026 will make America great this year and next.

DM is full of beans. OTOH, we have invasion plans drawn up for every country, I believe.

You’d better believe we have those plans. Also in case some country wants to invade us. Also, I expect every country has similar plans. A failure to plan is a plan to fail.

I'm not o.k. with this. But even if he follows through, which I completely doubt, Trump is still a trillion times better than Komrade Harris. Just imagine the fraud we'd have with 10's of millions more 3rd world "refugees"!

One more thing. PDJT 2.0’s 2025 economy blew FJB’s best economy out of the water. I had essentially the same investments last year as I did during President Autopen’s regime. I made 27.3% return and never came close to that while FJB was in office. 2026 bodes to far exceed 2025. Oh, and inflation was much lower last year than in FJB’s “presidency.
PDJT 2.0 is commander in chief. If senior leadership disobeys his orders, they can be replaced. Re: MacArthur.

Invade is not going to happen. Once again, the media tells you a different story. My bet, Trump will use his negotiation gift to win over Greenland. Currently, Russia and China are invading this country and stealing their natural resources at pennies on a dollar. The people of this country deserve better and Trump can give it to them.

C'mon folks this is the "Daily Mail (UK)", it actually got one article correct in 1955, but very little since!
I cannot imagine why anyone other than a Progressive Commie POS would post it.

Invasion is not what will happen. However, I am also sure that the US military has a plan to invade just about every country on the planet if necessary.

The DMUK will of course twist this story into a pretzel but it's likely BS. The important part of this whole idea is keeping China and Russia out of Greenland, not to depose a drug-dealing dictator. It's primary use would be for a base and airfields. Modern ships and submarines almost make it unnecessary to have a land base to attack another country so it would simply be a nearby location for harassment. Remember, the Brits hate us.

Because the DM is privy to secret US military plans. Get a grip. If you didn’t know that this story was BS, this nugget should be a big clue: “British diplomats believe that Trump is also motivated by a desire to distract American voters from the performance of the US economy before the mid-term elections…” The president needs no distraction as he knows the economy is well on the way to recovery. The DM would be well to update its antiquated talking points.

If the Pentagon is doing its job correctly it always has military and logistics contingency plans to invade anywhere in the world.
