For the record, in 1917 the US bought the then Danish West Indies and made them the United States Virgin Islands and gave up Greenland:
> During 1916, the two sides agreed to a sale price of $25,000,000, and the United States accepted a Danish demand for a declaration stating that they would "not object to the Danish Government extending their political and economic interests to the whole of Greenland".[12][18] Although it had a claim on northern Greenland based on explorations by Charles Francis Hall[19] and Robert Peary, the United States decided that the purchase was more important, especially because of the nearby Panama Canal.[20] Historian Bo Lidegaard questions the utility of such a declaration, as the country had never disputed Danish sovereignty.[12]

See:
> In proceeding this day to the signature of the Convention respecting the cession of the Danish West-Indian Islands to the United States of America, the undersigned Secretary of State of the United States of America, duly authorized by his Government, has the honor to declare that the Government of the United States of America will not object to the Danish Government extending their political and economic interests to the whole of Greenland.

No words
Two words: schoolyard bully
It's just so ridiculous as "your Country" doesn't decide who gets the Nobel Peace Prize.
Trump thinks every country runs by command from on top, just as he attempts to run America.
Which would be true if the Nobel Peace Prize wasn't given to Barack Obama (and never revoked despite the overwhelming evidence his actions led to more wars). Because he shamelessly went to Geneva to personally collect the Nobel Peace Prize AFTER he has signed off to start new wars from the beginning of his first tenure. In fact, Barack Obama is the only two-term US President who kept the nation officially involved throughout his tenures.
It is evident.. Barack Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize not because he was the doyen of peace (no, he was the harbinger of wars), but because he was the first Black President in the history of the United States of America.
And there are other examples where the genuineness and sincerity of the Nobel Committee can be questioned.
Ironically, Donald Trump has directly or indirectly dismantled or paused more wars than Obama started (and continued). However, to think of him as a soothsayer of peace is foolhardiness. He is deep in the pockets of the wealthy elites, and does whatever's best for them and him. He doesn't deserve the Nobel Peace Prize either.
The point is that Norway does not hand out the peace price - an independent committee does.
And its Oslo, not Geneva.
Not to mention that prizes can't be revoked.
This is run of the mill copypasta about Obama's Nobel Prize and has zero relevance to whether or not Trump not getting the award is casus belli against a completely different country.
However I am interested to hear your plan for Obama ending the wars that Cheney dumped on him.
This is Obama Derangement Syndrome.
A simple Google search of the wars started/involved by USA under the regime of Obama should tell you whether it is historical fact or a syndrome of your own coinage.
From Nick Schifrin of PBS' Newshour:
"""
NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:
Dear Ambassador:
President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]
"Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT"

"I have done more for NATO than any person since founding"?
And, how would Denmark protect that land from Russia or China? By being part of NATO.
And, he thinks the Prime Minister of Norway decides who gets the Nobel Peace Prize? I mean, it's chosen by a committee appointed by the Parliament of Norway, so the Prime Minister probably has some influence, but I presume it is not a direct decision.
This is the most arrogant, out-of-touch thing I have seen from Trump yet. Appalling.
The bar is so low, that it's just flabbergasting and not even serious-discussion-worthy that the PM of Norway has to today deal with what is on the level of a McDonald's manager getting a misdirected complaint about a Whopper from a Karen...
A Karen that commands the most potentially destructive military force on the planet with his tiny fingers...
If Biden had sent such a memo, everyone would've talked about how his IQ must have gone as low as the temperature in Oslo...
at the moment, I think De Gaulle has done way more for NATO ;)
Genuinely curious what the "eight wars plus" are.
I've been talking to a friend that maybe his way to world domination is to give everyone with a brain an aneurysm.
Also, it's pathetic how his envy of a particular younger, charismatic, well-loved Black man is so apparent. Obama has at least two things Trump is envious about, one is the Nobel Peace Prize, and the other is something Michelle Obama needs to compare notes with Stormy Daniels about.
