Wouldn't it be wild if this led to Greenland actually becoming independent?
Or Mexico, Canada and Greenland fighting over the territory that was formerly called the United States?

Hey now, buster. You’re not fit to rule yourself. Pick one or we’ll pick for you!
Don't we all
While i get them, i dont know how they plan on sustaining themselves. If they want to be independant from countries they have to be dependant on something else which will most likely be the eu if thet join. Greenlands population is 50k, one of the smallest counties based on population, while its land area 2 million km² is the 12th largest country.
They don't need to till all that land, nor to stand a border guard every 50 meters. They are gonna sustain themselves just as they were previously. You don't think they were doing nothing and all the food etc. were delivered from Denmark?
A third of the revenue in greenland is the danish sending money to them. If they want to become independant it will be a lot of work. Cut their legal systems off of denmark, loose all the danish funding, loose the danish military and a lot less danish people will move there(because a lot of jobs need education that is simply not available in greenland). Also the only place that is properly connected to the rest of the world is nuuk with a population of 20 thousand. Im not saying its not possible just that iceland did it and they played on easy mode compared to greenland. By the way they are also in a bit of a problem because they rely on nato for their whole military and nato is pretty unreliable nowadays. And we are talking about a us(technically) invasion anyways so nato wouldnt help greenland. You just dont get how small the population of greenland is.
You might have missed some points.
Prime Minister Mute Egede:
“Cooperation is about dialogue. Cooperation means that you will work towards solutions,” he said.
Trump earlier this week refused to rule out using military or economic force in order to bring Greenland under US control. Trump said last month that “ownership and control” of Greenland was an “absolute necessity” for the US, as it seeks to counter growing Russian and Chinese interest in the Arctic region.
Ok so become Russian by force bye
I swear, Putin owes some of you people rent.
Lol dude Russia can't even properly invade a country directly connected by land and with 1/3 the population. Lmao GTFO.
