A US oil company connected to Trump has landed drilling equipment in Greenland. They don't have permission to land the equipment, let alone to drill two test wells within a conservation area.
Climate-aware Greenland stopped issuing drilling licenses in 2021, but the USians intend to piggyback on an existing license. Emboldened by Trump's international aggression, their motto appears to be "Who's gonna stop us?"
This action will produce headaches that Nato members don't need right now.
The Americans really have become the world's most obnoxious arseholes, haven't they.

@BobLefridge@mastodon.nz Please be careful with your gross generalization. It is not all Americans, the biggest assholes are all recognized members of MAGA who bought the government in order to enrich themselves.
