I actually think Greenlandschluss will be popular with DJT's base because it's owning the libs/EU, getting them out of NATO and Makes America Great Again.
Plenty of people in the UK would get behind a similar project if we had the military and economic might to do it.
Buying Greenland is popular with Republicans as the poll I showed earlier said (but not invading it), US voters overall though are opposed once Democrats and Independents are included
Realistically speaking any US invasion of Greenland is going to be over as soon as anyone hears that it is happening, and so there's going to be nothing for US voters to oppose.
Once the deed has been done I don't see many Republican voters being in favour of withdrawing with their tail between their legs.
You would also have to occupy it and plenty of Greenlanders would be willing to form an armed resistance, perhaps even with arms supplied by the Danes and then the US bodybags would start.
Democrats and Independents and therefore most Americans would be opposed anyway and there would certainly be enough Republicans in Congress willing to break lines to join them and impeach Trump and maybe even convict
Armed resistance? The population of Greenland is about that of a small British town, roughly that of Canterbury (just the settlement proper, not even the wider district) so we’re not taking a huge number of potential Maquisards.
So? It is a vast land to hide out in and take potshots at invading troops, blow up their infrastructure etc and then melt back into the icy tundra and igloos
You can't really hide out in most of Greenland. It's a vast ice sheet 3km tall. It would be a bit like trying to fight a guerilla war on the surface of Mars.
You certainly can hide in the areas near the town, breaking in from time to time to destroy property, seize provisions and kill US troops occupying it
You’ve always struck me as an expert in guerrilla warfare.

US army grunts are just gonna love freezing their tits off in some ice-bound trench on the outskirts of Nuuk.

You clearly havent been to Nuuk but to be honest you are sounding unhinged
Mafia takeover of America complete. Trump has told countries that want to serve on his Gaza Board of Peace they will have to pay $1 billion to be permanent members.
Eh? The Board of Peace is individuals like Tony Blair???
I think this refers to the Arab states.
It's another grift, and no doubt the money is intended to go into some offshore account controlled by Trump.

Trump can take it at will whenever he wants as resistance would be futile
Never mind, John Swinney expects a majority SNP Holyrood in May and will demand a referendum on independence
@HYUFD will have all his time taken up on his tank invasion of Scotland from Epping !!!!
You are pathetic some times BigG, rant about Trump and would then let him walk all over you when it actually comes to it.
If he did invade it before he was impeached and convicted by Congress Greenlanders would of course fight the invasion and he would also be at war with Denmark as it is Danish land.
Swinney can expect what he wants, the UK government will refuse an indyref2 and he can do sod all about it legally as the UKSC affirmed (not that many polls give an SNP majority anyway)

He's missing the obvious tactic: build roundabouts everywhere quickly before the Americans arrive, then drive at them at 70mph. Americans struggle with roundabouts at the best of times anyway...
Minnesota Department of Public Safety @MnDPS_DPS At Gov. Walz’s direction, the Minnesota National Guard have been mobilized and are staging to support local law enforcement and emergency management agencies.
Only the consevatives will stop the UK from becoming a poodle state of the US
Fascinating play. How exciting that Spineless has managed to drag Labour into the position of being Trump’s bitch
It’s the beauty of opposition, supported by the fact that Trump will be gone by the next election, and a decent bet that Vance won’t win it. She can wrap herself in the flag, attack Trump, attack Starmer, and steal back Reform voters by calling Farage a Trump/Putin fan.
trump to Europe: "Give US Greenland or I will make Americans pay more for your goods".
He still seems to think we pay the tariffs rather than the importer.
FTSE100 company and exporter of goods manufactured in Britain to the US, Games Workshop, has absorbed 100% of the cost of tariffs charged on their exports to the US. That represents 2% off their profit margin, averaged over their global sales.
That's less profit returned to investors in dividends, less tax paid to the Exchequer.
The same is true for lots of companies selling goods to the US.
Games Workshop, like its customers, is a bit special.

You have no idea what you are talking about re Greenland
It is 9 times the size of the UK with the main population in Nuuk and yes I have been there
If Trumps wants it no military action will stop him and your idea the Greenlanders would be a Dads Army is ludicous
@LindseyGrahamSC · May 3, 2016 If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed.......and we will deserve it.
A man who has himself been beaten down to a terrifyingly high degree.
We all wish we'd stand up to bullies, but probably would not, but that so many do not put a price on dignity at all is depressing in its reveal of human nature.
At least he's capitulated to remain a US Senator, there's ones who Trump went after and have no power anymore who still then lick his boots.

Well given Putin has invaded a neighbouring country and Spain suspended the Catalan parliament and arrested Catalan leaders and imposed direct rule when they tried to hold an unauthorised referendum on independence and given and Trump is threatening Greenland it should not be too difficult for the UK government to refuse an indyref2.

You would also have to occupy it and plenty of Greenlanders would be willing to form an armed resistance, perhaps even with arms supplied by the Danes and then the US bodybags would start.
Democrats and Independents and therefore most Americans would be opposed anyway and there would certainly be enough Republicans in Congress willing to break lines to join them and impeach Trump and maybe even convict
Armed resistance? The population of Greenland is about that of a small British town, roughly that of Canterbury (just the settlement proper, not even the wider district) so we’re not taking a huge number of potential Maquisards.
So? It is a vast land to hide out in and take potshots at invading troops, blow up their infrastructure etc and then melt back into the icy tundra and igloos
You can't really hide out in most of Greenland. It's a vast ice sheet 3km tall. It would be a bit like trying to fight a guerilla war on the surface of Mars.
Trump can take it at will whenever he wants as resistance would be futile
Never mind, John Swinney expects a majority SNP Holyrood in May and will demand a referendum on independence
@HYUFD will have all his time taken up on his tank invasion of Scotland from Epping !!!!
Is geopolitical instability a threat to the SNP? Kinda feels like the idea of splitting up into smaller countries is an idea better suited to calm and secure times.
Loathe as I am to do so, I think the SNP would be able to claim Scottish independence would not appreciably add to the existing chaos. Of course, England might go a bit Trumpy itself in theory, but then they might argue better not to be tied to it then!
Well given Putin has invaded a neighbouring country and Spain suspended the Catalan parliament and arrested Catalan leaders and imposed direct rule when they tried to hold an unauthorised referendum on independence and given and Trump is threatening Greenland it should not be too difficult for the UK government to refuse an indyref2. Even in the unlikely event the SNP won a majority
I don't think one will be granted. But I don't think the SNP or the Independence movement generally will take a hit because people are worried about the idea of splitting off from the UK during such turbulent times.
I actually think Greenlandschluss will be popular with DJT's base because it's owning the libs/EU, getting them out of NATO and Makes America Great Again.
Plenty of people in the UK would get behind a similar project if we had the military and economic might to do it.
Buying Greenland is popular with Republicans as the poll I showed earlier said (but not invading it), US voters overall though are opposed once Democrats and Independents are included

You are pathetic some times BigG, rant about Trump and would then let him walk all over you when it actually comes to it.
If he did invade it before he was impeached and convicted by Congress Greenlanders would of course fight the invasion and he would also be at war with Denmark as it is Danish land.
Swinney can expect what he wants, the UK government will refuse an indyref2 and he can do sod all about it legally as the UKSC affirmed (not that many polls give an SNP majority anyway)
You have no idea what you are talking about re Greenland
It is 9 times the size of the UK with the main population in Nuuk and yes I have been there
If Trumps wants it no military action will stop him and your idea the Greenlanders would be a Dads Army is ludicous
Trump not only has to take it and he would immediately be at war with Denmark if he tried, maybe the rest of Nato too, he then has to occupy it with a hostile population who would go out of their way to destroy US infrastructure and kill US troops given the chance.
Plus he would likely be facing impeachment by Congress at home
You keep repeating this Dads Army nonsense
Where is this US infrastructure you talk about in relation to the population ?
Well if they were occupying it they would need bases, transportation, food storage, energy supplies etc all of which would be targets immediately for terrorist bombings and attacks by the resistant population
Just imagine the chaos if Kamala had been elected !
I’d happily pay an extra tax to support the economy so we can tell Trump to go fxck himself .
And his puppet master Miller now saying if you can’t defend your territory you can’t own it . Essentially how many smaller countries does that mean the USA wants for so called global peace !
Unsurprisingly, complete radio silence from 'patriots' such as Tommy Ten Names and Sargon about Donald's wish to annex Greenland and destroy NATO.
Have to be careful of their audience, know just how to pitch it. I recall Konstantin Kisin getting slapped around by his increasingly right leaning audience for sticking up for Zelensky when he was lambasted by Vance in front of the cameras, and had to inauthentically row back and say why he was wrong to do so on reflection.
Though I do get occasionally recommended Sargon videos for reasons only the youtube alhorithm will know, and they mostly seem to be about women and entertainment culture.

trump to Europe: "Give US Greenland or I will make Americans pay more for your goods".
He still seems to think we pay the tariffs rather than the importer.
FTSE100 company and exporter of goods manufactured in Britain to the US, Games Workshop, has absorbed 100% of the cost of tariffs charged on their exports to the US. That represents 2% off their profit margin, averaged over their global sales.
That's less profit returned to investors in dividends, less tax paid to the Exchequer.
The same is true for lots of companies selling goods to the US.
It will depend on the inco terms. Unless DDP then importer pays all duties and tariffs. Most trades to US or out of US, for goods (not services) aren’t DDP.
A commercial decision to reduce prices to offset the tariffs still means the tariff gets paid by the importer (caveat above)
There is also the currency difference to be considered.
Games Workshop stock price is up by over 40% last 12 months. They have had a record year. Warhammer seems popular. If they grow their volume then they can easily make up any lost profit.

The normal advice is to start with the Inquisitor Eisenhorn trilogy: Xenos, Malleus, Hereticus.
And there are various lists of the more important books in the Heresy series if you want to stick to the main narrative and avoid all the bloat.

You can’t really disagree with any of that. Even most of the Republicans in Congress know it.
Life is going to get very complicated, considering how intertwined are the economies - and arms production* - of Europe/UK and the US.
*Even for something as basic as explosives, the US depends almost entirely on Poland for the manufacture of TNT, and Europe almos TV entirely on the US for more modern stuff like HMX and RDX.
Until Trump is either gone, or emasculated by Congress, the new reality is a huge mess.
One thing is for sure, and that's appeasing the fucker doesn't work.
trump to Europe: "Give US Greenland or I will make Americans pay more for your goods".
He still seems to think we pay the tariffs rather than the importer.
FTSE100 company and exporter of goods manufactured in Britain to the US, Games Workshop, has absorbed 100% of the cost of tariffs charged on their exports to the US. That represents 2% off their profit margin, averaged over their global sales.
That's less profit returned to investors in dividends, less tax paid to the Exchequer.
The same is true for lots of companies selling goods to the US.
It will depend on the inco terms. Unless DDP then importer pays all duties and tariffs. Most trades to US or out of US, for goods (not services) aren’t DDP.
A commercial decision to reduce prices to offset the tariffs still means the tariff gets paid by the importer (caveat above)
There is also the currency difference to be considered.
Games Workshop stock price is up by over 40% last 12 months. They have had a record year. Warhammer seems popular. If they grow their volume then they can easily make up any lost profit.
GW are opening a Warhammer World in the US in 2027 and already have some of their production over there for the US market. Their exposure to tariffs will be very limited.
They shut down their US production ages ago.
Wargames Atlantic are going to the trouble of shipping moulds back and forth across the Atlantic to do manufacturing on both sides, which I thought was a mad thing no-one would ever do, so perhaps GW will consider it in the future, but they aren't doing it now.
Are they just drowned out by all the noise, or because they are already outraged by a dozen different things it slips through, as I don't recall seeing much from US Democrats getting much billing in reporting. I guess they are inconsequential on this issue since it is only GOP holdouts who matter legislatively.
I actually think Greenlandschluss will be popular with DJT's base because it's owning the libs/EU, getting them out of NATO and Makes America Great Again.
Plenty of people in the UK would get behind a similar project if we had the military and economic might to do it.
Buying Greenland is popular with Republicans as the poll I showed earlier said (but not invading it), US voters overall though are opposed once Democrats and Independents are included
Realistically speaking any US invasion of Greenland is going to be over as soon as anyone hears that it is happening, and so there's going to be nothing for US voters to oppose.
Once the deed has been done I don't see many Republican voters being in favour of withdrawing with their tail between their legs.
You would also have to occupy it and plenty of Greenlanders would be willing to form an armed resistance, perhaps even with arms supplied by the Danes and then the US bodybags would start.
Democrats and Independents and therefore most Americans would be opposed anyway and there would certainly be enough Republicans in Congress willing to break lines to join them and impeach Trump and maybe even convict
Armed resistance? The population of Greenland is about that of a small British town, roughly that of Canterbury (just the settlement proper, not even the wider district) so we’re not taking a huge number of potential Maquisards.
So? It is a vast land to hide out in and take potshots at invading troops, blow up their infrastructure etc and then melt back into the icy tundra and igloos
I’m not sure that “melt” is the word I’d use in respect of Greenland…
The reason why some people around Trump are interested in Greenland is precisely because global climate change is seeing the country melt, allowing access to mineral wealth, so it is perhaps a good choice of word!
One thing is for sure, and that's appeasing the fucker doesn't work.
Standing up to bullies is often really terrible specific advice (even though it is good general advice), and surely in geopolitical terms a lot lot more complicated, but there doesn't seem much advantage to agreeing terms on things when an unconnected issue has a high probability of cropping up and derailing everything.

Why ship moulds back and forth ? Why not just make some new ones for local production or if they have multiple sets just transfer some ?
They cannot be their only set. What if they went astray. They’d be screwed.
Also, depending on the size of the moulds, the cost of shipping will be expensive too.

Games Workshop, like its customers, is a bit special.
I looked at it for my small portfolio. Not for me. Dividend cover is very weak for a start and it seems reliant on just Warhammer.
Surely the incels will tire of it one day.
Why can’t they monetise it on a streaming service. Warhammer, the TV series starring Zac Efron and Zooey Deschanel. Or something.
I worked on the initial float, in 1994, when it was a much smaller less valuable company. I wish I could say this had allowed me a unique insight into when to buy and when to sell but it hasn't.
Well,it’s up,by about 15,000% since then according to Google Finance !!

It’s thin margins and moulds/tools representing £10ks of investment, not to mention the skills required to use them properly. Less of an issue if you’re GW, but if you’re GW you can just ship there.

You can't really hide out in most of Greenland. It's a vast ice sheet 3km tall. It would be a bit like trying to fight a guerilla war on the surface of Mars.
Trump can take it at will whenever he wants as resistance would be futile
Never mind, John Swinney expects a majority SNP Holyrood in May and will demand a referendum on independence
@HYUFD will have all his time taken up on his tank invasion of Scotland from Epping !!!!
You are pathetic some times BigG, rant about Trump and would then let him walk all over you when it actually comes to it.
If he did invade it before he was impeached and convicted by Congress Greenlanders would of course fight the invasion and he would also be at war with Denmark as it is Danish land.
Swinney can expect what he wants, the UK government will refuse an indyref2 and he can do sod all about it legally as the UKSC affirmed (not that many polls give an SNP majority anyway)
You have no idea what you are talking about re Greenland
It is 9 times the size of the UK with the main population in Nuuk and yes I have been there
If Trumps wants it no military action will stop him and your idea the Greenlanders would be a Dads Army is ludicous
Trump not only has to take it and he would immediately be at war with Denmark if he tried, maybe the rest of Nato too, he then has to occupy it with a hostile population who would go out of their way to destroy US infrastructure and kill US troops given the chance.
Plus he would likely be facing impeachment by Congress at home
And meanwhile US bases across Europe are put in a rather vulnerable position.

Troops from European countries are arriving in Greenland to defend the territory from us. Let that sink in. And now Trump is setting tariffs on our allies, making you pay more to try to get territory we don’t need. The damage this President is doing to our reputation and our relationships is growing, making us less safe. If something doesn’t change we will be on our own with adversaries and enemies in every direction.

Well if they ship back and forth clearly both sides have the skill to not only use them but service and maintain them. They won’t just ship from factory A to factory B and run perfectly. They will have been packed for transport so will need stripping and reassembling.
If they are the only set then it’s a massive risk if they go astray. Still I guess they must do risk mitigation on these things and deemed it not an issue.

Its a shame they moved away from spin moulding in metal. That is easy. You just spin up a set of masters and send them across the pond. Making up new production moulds is simple and cheap. Still the way the majority of figure manufacturers work (including me). I must admit I don't like plastics or the sorts of resins that Warlord make. Definitely metals for me still.

Anti-Coercion Instrument

The Anti-Coercion Instrument (ACI), also called the trade bazooka, is a regulation of the European Union proposed in December 2021,[2] adopted in November 2023, and entering into force on 27 December 2023.[3][4] It aims to protect the EU and its Member States from economic coercion by third countries and provides a framework for EU action, including examination, engagement, and the adoption of countermeasures...

These fucking tools still don’t get it!? YOU HAD CANADA as your closest most loyal trade partner, coordinating a stance towards China and partnering on continental security! YOU HAD GREENLAND within your sphere of influence, with ALL OF EUROPE ready to have your back, securing continental security! But then your Orange Moron in Chief fucked it ALL by stabbing his allies in the back, launching trade wars against allies which directly contradicted the very trade agreements HE FUCKING NEGOTIATED in the first place! Threatening MILITARY ANNEXATION OF NATO ALLIES (some ‘Peace President!’)! I can’t even with you people - literally screwing over your closest friends and then crying foul when they adjust to the new reality which YOU CAUSED. GET FUCKED!

Edit:
I'd be interested in getting into the series, but I see there re 64 books alone in the Horus Heresy sequence, goddamn.
If the Brits come back before the Yanks invade then at least Ireland's food surplus solves Britain's strategic weakness of being a major food importer, but I don't know how you'd do that without creating a pro-Trump insurgency in Ireland.
One of the Irish journalists did point out that Ireland is in the Western Hemisphere, and the Americans had laid claim to the place, but no-one else seemed to notice.

For a shorter series which still captures the feel of the 40K Universe I would recommend the Gaunts Ghosts series.
