you are both right

Free gifts for all.

He has already proved that as a president he is immune

Also it wouldn’t surprise me if he eventually pardoned himself for all charges

I follow too many Linux communities… I had to read way too much of this before realising it wasn’t about that

Risking being cut off if you don’t allow a trade with Trump or accept to be annexed by the USA is part of my quality assessment for the service

I don’t see it as philanthropy. That would be donating money or doing business with him that you could have done somewhere else for a better price or better quality

It sounds like the business was straight up better and more secure with Elons competition.

Diplomacy is dropping one option without it knowing why

Main story: Greenland’s state-owned telecom company Tusass has decided to partner with the French satellite operator Eutelsat rather than Elon Musk’s Starlink to improve internet access in East and North Greenland.

Key points:

Goal: The deal aims to provide better and faster internet in remote areas like Tasiilaq, Ittoqqortoormiit, and Qaanaaq, which currently lack fiber or radio link connections.

Technology: Tusass will use Eutelsat’s OneWeb low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, which orbit closer to Earth and offer better connectivity for isolated regions.

Benefits:

Improved communication for local communities.

Support for critical infrastructure, such as maritime safety and emergency services.

Enables satellite-based mobile internet for search-and-rescue operations and ships.

Why not Starlink?

Tusass had been negotiating with Starlink, but chose Eutelsat instead.

Tusass’ CEO, Toke Binzer, said the decision was based on an existing, trusted relationship with Eutelsat — not because one company is “better.”

Tusass is under a confidentiality agreement (NDA) with Starlink, so it can’t share details, but the company hasn’t fully closed the door on future talks with Musk’s firm.

Wider context:

Greenland’s government wants to retain control over its critical telecom infrastructure and avoid becoming dependent on private foreign companies.

A 2023 Greenlandic government report warned that liberalizing the telecom market could risk losing national control over supply security.

The Danish government also recently announced new investments in European space independence — to reduce reliance on U.S. and SpaceX satellites.

In short: Greenland is prioritizing sovereignty and reliability by expanding its partnership with France’s Eutelsat rather than Starlink. The move strengthens internet access in remote communities while keeping telecom infrastructure under Greenlandic control

In most places the two are the same and assumed to be the same.

I realize that this is not the case in USA and I also realize that America voting is very complicated

What we then can agree on is that American democracy is not democratic witch maybe makes it even more depressing

That’s not how democracy works

Time to go to bed dude…

This is a huge surprise for the rest of the world though

They had almost agreed to settle on this. It was meant to be a formality until the USA bullied its way by threatening tariffs on countries that would vote for it

This is undemocratic and in the end, will hurt the USA more than the rest of us

I hope that the world will soon have had enough of these methods. This is much much larger than two sides in one country

I don’t think Trump or any of his backers care about small companies. They can as well just shut down and let the employees harvest strawberries or tomatoes

🤔🤔🤔 I doubt this very much…

This is all planned. Favours and filling own pockets. It should be and probably is illegal but by now we have found out that the president if the USA can do whatever they like without care for that

I’d bet my car that he will drop any peace talks at the spot and walk away.

There goes the Israel Palestine project down the drain

This won’t hold. Just wait until someone in the administration finds out he sings in Spanish… They’ll replace him with Kid Rock or Kanye West featuring Ted Nugent…

But they don’t have a say on that though unless they are part of the Olympic committee 🤷

So who cares?

We need a platform to pirate the patterns now!

The world is trying to figure out how to handle trolls when they are presidents of a country
