“U.S. Military Removes Commander of #Greenland Base After Vance Visit

Although the military did not say why the colonel had been dismissed, it said it would not tolerate any subversion of #Trump’s agenda.”

@GottaLaff I believe it's time for Greenland to expel US forces and close the base.

@AlliFlowers @GottaLaff I’d say time for the US military to do a Turkish style coup and issue new elections without GOP shenanigans and automatic voter registration for all.

@GottaLaff @McWabbit @AlliFlowers
If you’re going that far, make voting compulsory for everyone over 18.
Fine people who don’t.

@AlliFlowers @GottaLaff MAGAs *should* love that-- they didn't want us to be the "world's police" anymore, right?

Would love to see the mental gymnastics routine they'd have to go through to "parse" that one for public consumption if Greenland/Denmark did that.

@AlliFlowers @GottaLaff

Seems logical, however its a dangerous case of "poking the bear".

Try "expelling" and the US will dig in and claim National Security Concerns and use the effort as a catalyst and excuse to expel Denmark and keep the airbase in place. Its giving trump a perfect excuse to take Greenland... something he totally lacks at the present.

@AlliFlowers @GottaLaff
I'm hoping it plays out like True Detective: Night Country
