I don’t remember the last time China threatened to invade Denmark?

I do remember the last time the USA did. It was hours ago at a NATO summit.

s/China/Taiwan?

or Tibet?

You are comparing sensational trolls with actual geopolitical history.

Trolling or not, we take it seriously when the US threatens our territorial sovereignity (speaking as a European 100 percent behind Denmark)
Taiwan and Tibet are eminently not in Europe.

Should we casually throw around all places the US invaded too?

“Guys, he’s obviously just trolling—he would never actually do that, it would be insane!”

-MAGA Right before Trump tried to steal the 2020 election, militarily occupy US cities, annul various amendments, start the Iran War, etc.

Are you suggesting Trump is “trolling” Greenland?

And admittedly I didn’t realize Taiwan was in Europe. Sorry.

Greenland invasion is just a joke

no one take Trump seriously

Suppose a dementia patient with a gun declares that they are ready to shoot the tooth-fairy, which has been stalking them to steal their molars.

You might not take their words as a true statement of fact, but the situation going on is still pretty damn serious!

Oh yes, we take him very seriously. He has started two wars just this year.
