“The United States has reached out to Denmark…”
You know, the country the United States wants to invade and forcefully take land from.
America: The dumbest rocks in the sock drawer.
Good thing we’ve got so many international allies and are known for being such a stable, reliable economic partner. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I haven’t read the news in two months and I need to catch up on current events.
Well, in those two months the USA has made new enemies by insulting and threatening with invade his own allies. Worst, the USA started an economic war against his allies for no reason.
So no, now we are not willing to help.
Kneel down and beg.
Do not help us. This is what we deserve.
What’s ironic is that from all countries he is asking Denmark. Greenland is An autonomous territory under the kingdom of Denmark.
I heard that before asking Greenland he was asking Canada as well.
Is he trying to neg us by threatening our sovereignty and then asking for a favour??? Most high schoolers know better than to fall for that. Like, get real.
I think that’s the point. Bullying/Threatening countries and then “asking” them for help. Then if they don’t oblige he uses it to booster support for the bullying and threats. Similar ordeal with cutting aid to Egypt and then asking them to take something like 1.5 million people in from Gaza that Trump doesn’t want on their homeland.
I think you meant “kingdom of Denmark” there, but yeah
We don’t recognize monarchies as valid governments here.

The eggs aren’t even that much more expensive to produce. The hit has only been about 2%. There’s still plenty of eggs. And it’s the same with getting free range eggs instead of battery/cage - the increase in production price is pretty small, really.
It comes down to the same thing: the market charging premiums. They charge more for free range because it’s ‘luxury’. They charge more for organic because it’s ‘lifestyle’. And they charge more for eggs during US strife because it’s ‘supply and demand’.
They have the supply. They also have an excuse, and nobody is regulating them. The country doesn’t need to buy eggs en masse, it needs to regulate pricing.
They actually don’t have the supply. The USA is short tens of millions of eggs because of all the hens they had to slaughter due to bird flu. Which RFK probably doesn’t think is real.
Which RFK probably doesn’t think is real.
This is the danger. The conspiracy crowd is already denying bird flu. The culls are evidence of government conspiracy to force us to eat da bugs/fake meat.
We’re going to hit a pandemic which our government will pretend does not exist. The narrative has already been hammered out on Facebook for them.
sounds like socialism to me. allow the invisible hand to work.
If the invisible hand end up yeeting Trump out of the White House, I’m all for it
The fastest way to have a people turn on it’s leaders is for the food supply to be threatened.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if Americans turned on their leaders?
Yup. The US is currently deporting a significant portion of it’s agricultural workforce, while putting insane tariffs on the countries it imports food from, while also doing major cuts to the government which makes problems like avian flue more likely.
The Trump regime has a very “let them eat cake” approach to the food supply.
while putting insane tariffs on the countries it imports food from
Also on the country they import most of their fertilizer from.
Real “stable genius” moves going on there.
Interesting that the orange traitor flooded CA’s farms in response to the recent wildfires, while also threatening undocumented farm workers, while also levying taxes across broad swaths of the economy. Seems to me that he’s been instructed on actions to take to raise food prices. Hmm…
Don’t forget the whole pretending that bird flu doesn’t exist thing.
everything except actually putting the companies responsible in check.
Bird flu talk sounds a little too close to vaccine talk, and farmers vote Republican.
Welp, that is a pretty legit-looking counterexample to the Trump administration helping farmers. I still stand by what I wrote, though. The countryside is red and bird flu is causing the egg shortage.
I would not send a single good egg until Jan 2029.
I’d give Drumph some eggs, if only he would come within range…
Actually I would send them ONE egg, so that they can suck on it.
Why then? It’ll just be another corrupt warmonger. Might call themselves a democrat but in the end they still serve evil.
Yeah, good luck with that America after you’ve insulted and threatened every ally that would sell us eggs.
Dumbasses.
Let me see… since new years you have threatened to annex Greenland, had Musk call our finest astronaut retarded, called our Prime Minister retarded, recently Roger Stone called one of our conservative politicians a sick demented asshole on Twitter when said politician asked for the general secretary of NATO to not joke about Trump and Greenland and… oh yeah, Trump and Vance attacked and insulted our dear friend, President Zelenskyj on world wide TV.
So… how about no? Oh, I’m sorry: no, thank you.
Hey…just need to put this out there.
I’m sorry my government has the dumb. I am so, so embarrassed by how things are going and how horribly rude my so-called “leaders” are being to literally everyone.
I am not like that. I respect you and your country. I want to cry when I think about how Zelenskyj has been treated. I know many, many people just like me. We are NOT like our government. We are scared. Some of us are trying to get out of the country, but many of us literally cannot…for a host of reasons, many of which involve how little money we have been able to save while this is all happening.
I’m just so sorry. Not that this fixes anything. I’m just desperate to tell SOMEONE that. I hope you have a good day…and rest easier knowing I echo every sentiment of your post.
Ah, don’t worry. I do not hold the American people responsible for what has happened to your country. When it comes down to it, the individual American has very little say in what it’s government is doing and in my opinion, your government has been very successful in manipulating its population into believing in a very untrue and very romantic image of how America is and how it is perceived in the world at large.
So don’t apologize. You can’t help where you were born and raised, neither can the rest of the world’s population. I cant help that i was born and raised in a country that decided to spy on its european neighbors for America and i would be very annoyed if people online blamed me personally for what some retards in charge have decided to do. If anything, my sympathies goes out to people like you who are trapped in that hellhole. I do hope this is just a very unfortunate stumble in American history and that your country will return to form and eventually evolve socially like I have wished for you for decades.
I will be honest, I have very few nice things to say about America, long before trump even came on my radar. I have despised America for most of my life, but I don’t hate all Americans. At all. It’s not your fault your country is built on a system that caters to the rich and teaches its people that all things that are good for the people is evil communism while all things good for the 1% is good for everybody. You guys deserves so much better.
America as an institution and a public face on the world scene, however, I have no love for. I never had and I wasn’t surprised when it decided to stab us in the back the moment we needed it despite us bleeding money and young men’s blood for the American institution for 20 years. I am not surprised that we are being treated this way. It fits perfectly with the American playbook I have witnessed since I was a kid and saw Bush use 911 to invade the middle east and high key sent a message to the rest of us that if we weren’t on America’s side we would be their enemy. Which is partially why I think we ended up joining you in Iraq and Afghanistan.
But no, I’m not surprised that this is our reward for bleeding for the American institution. Threats of annexing our territory, childish insults to our politicians, abandoning Ukraine and making friends with Russia. America has only ever cared about its own interests while pretending to be the world hero. All trump did was going mask off and that must be a shock to some Americans who believed the American institution was good and selfless.
Those people are really not paying attention to history at all. There is definitely a reason people want to bomb us. We earned that hate.
I really wish people could pick a different country…like, nope, I disagree with literally everything here. Next!
But that only works if you have enough money to completely relocate…and then you’re leaving the country slightly crappier than before. But I don’t blame my friends for leaving. They aren’t safe here anymore…
We get that some Americans voted against all this, and don’t support it.
And I hope those reasonable Americans can rescue their country from the situation it has caused for itself.
But for now, as the leadership of the USA is attacking my country, my response has to be to protect my country from the insanity that has taken over America.
I wish you well, and hope you guys can fix your country before it destroys us all.
And I genuinely wish you all the luck in doing so. The defender should have the luck against the aggressor. I hope the USA either gets its shit together or unceremoniously implodes. I want as few collateral damage as possible.
Then we figure out how insignificant we are individually and start pulling as a team…maybe make a country worth having for once.
But without the oligarchs.
(not so) fun fact: This entire text mirrors the sentiments of half of Russians today.
So expect to be lumped in with the rest, enough Americans support this to represent the county as a whole.
Fun fact: I don’t blame Russians for Putin.
Canada here. Our eggs are cheap.
You want em?
Take your trade war agression and shove it up your ass!
You want to take our sovereignty away?
…starve.
<intentionally drops an egg while smiling>
Brb going to throw eggs across the border
Aim for a Tesla
Genuinely, fuck us over as hard as you can.
I know about Type 2 “Sorry”, but there are an absolute shitload of idiots down here who don’t.
For those who don’t know, Canada has two types of “Sorry”.
The first is “I’m sorry for what I did.”
And the second is “I’m sorry for what I’m about to do.”
That’s the one that usually ends up adding new entries to the Geneva Conventions.
Implement fucking price controls before you beg for European eggs ffs
Citizen of the United States here. Don’t. Assume whatever this orange anal fistula offers to pay will in fact not be paid. Assume whatever agreement brokered will immediately be ignored or violated. Assume this pus filled clementine will still try to “take” Greenland.
Let this shithole 3rd world country burn. It asked for fascism in the form of egg prices, let them deal with their egg prices.
As a Canadian, the US can have my eggs on the condition of the delivery method being lobbing them over the border at official government buildings.
Also a Yank. At this point we really do deserve the punishment. I just hope that when we get a new administration in a little less than four years the world has a shred of sympathy for us.
At the moment, you definitely do. Most of you, and not just Trump voters. Why are you guys so fucking passive? Where are the millions of people protesting on the streets? Where’s the civil disobedience? The strikes? With the attitude the Americans show currently, there will be no elections in 4 years, hell, there might not even be mid-term elections in 2
The news media here are owned. Those things are happening, but they’re not being reported.
So, millions of people are protesting?
I don’t know what’s happening everywhere else but I’m joining protests in my area when they pop up. It really isn’t being reported to diminish dissent
Kudos to you for doing your part. It’s just so disappointing to see how you guys are the minority fighting an uphill battle and how so little support comes from the Democrats or any other powerful organization
I’ve gone to the protests. Sadly, millions are not protesting.
Everybody here is paycheck-to-paycheck. Missing work because you were illegally detained at a protest may be the difference between living in a crappy apartment, or living under a bridge.
Part of the 2025 playbook is to get trump unlimited unchecked power, and use the military to enforce it domestically. Riots in the streets would certainly do that.
Right now, trump is doing more harm to his constituents than to his enemies. Republican politicians can barely show their faces in their own distric here. Don’t give them another target to transfer that hate to.
Truth.
I’ve got kids and pets and I work with kids at an emergency shelter. Getting locked up means I could lose my job, which means I’d lose my shelter and my pets, maybe my kids…all because I decided to protest something that no politician in my area will even pay attention to.
I do protest sometimes, but I’m waiting. When there are things I can help with, I do that. But I’m not traveling several hours to get to a protest so I can get beat by cops, arrested, and potentially lose everything. This is a marathon, not a sprint…and I need to be able to help those who are already being left behind.
But my heart is with those who can protest. I share their stories when I see them. I make signs for them and have a kit to help anyone who gets hurt during a local protest. I walk and protest myself when I’m able…but yeah, I can’t go to every single one.
What about social media? The news media isn’t censoring Lemmy, why aren’t protestors at least sharing photos and videos here to get the word out?
I hope that you get a new administration in a little less than 4 years.
The Republicans aren’t destroying the rule of law and hand absolute power to the presidency, just to give it to the opposition on the next occasion.
It will only take two years if people actually fucking vote in the midterms. But midterm turnout is historically… Well… Complete dogshit. And republicans are statistically more likely to vote in midterms.
That’s why Trump is moving so fast to try and secure things; He doesn’t truly have four years to cement himself as god-emperor. He only has two before he potentially loses his majority in congress. So he has to be crowned before then.
But even with that being said, I don’t have high hopes. As I said before, republicans are more likely to vote in midterms. Maybe Trump’s antics will be enough to get some blue voters off of their asses. But at this point, I’m not holding my breath.
They rigged the election through gerrymandering. They have had this planned for a long time. We are not playing the same game anymore.
Unfortunately Europe can’t wait four years for the US to start taking their responsibilities on the world stage seriously again. Russia will almost certainly move within that time, so Europe is now having to build up its defenses in a way that they’ve never previously had to do since the 1940s. Assuming the US does come around (that is a big “if”) by that point Europe will have already got used to using its own military. The US will no longer be required.
I really don’t see any way that things can now go back to the way they were. Trade will, but I think the days of cooperative military action are over. If you guys get embroiled in another pointless war in the Middle East, I think you’re going to have to do that on your own.
Trade well not go back to normal in four years. How could you ever trust any sort of deal singed by America? I sure hope we get more tech companies globally out of this and we stop selling them to American companies.
What does it mean the US has reached out? Individual store chains? State governments? Certainly not Trump.
Likely USDA which is under one of his appointees so either way very dumb.
I know right.
Hey we don’t want your crap in our country. America first. But while I have you on the phone…
UNREAL.
